RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Carbon Solutions, to increase the payment limit by $26,800 to a new payment limit of $308,839 with no change in the original term of September 10, 2014 through September 9, 2018, for services required to complete the environmental impact report (EIR) for the Tassajara Parks project in the Tassajara Valley (San Ramon area).

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund. The applicant is responsible for the payment of additional services.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development contracted with First Carbon Solutions in September of 2014 to prepare an EIR for the Tassajara Parks project. The project involves 125 homes and substantial dedication of park land in the Tassajara Valley / San Ramon area. The project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, Subdivision and Development Plan applications. First Carbon Solutions has been working on the EIR and has identified additional analysis necessary to complete the EIR. Subsequently, the scope of work has changed to include new Aesthetical, Air Quality, Biological, Traffic and Project Management services that are needed to complete the EIR. This is the second budget amendment; the first one was in June of 2015 for $45,210. There is no change to the term of the contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The contract will not be amended to complete the required environmental impact report.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impacts are associated with the amendment of an existing contract.
