RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with California Conservation Corps, State of California (CCC), in an amount not to exceed $6,640, for the period of January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017, to provide tree removal services for the Rio Vista Elementary School Pedestrian Connection Project, Bay Point area. (County Project No. 0662-6R4141)

FISCAL IMPACT:

59% Active Transportation Program (ATP) Funds, 26% Bay Point Area of Benefit Fund, 15% Local Road Funds.  
  
BACKGROUND:

The Rio Vista Elementary School Pedestrian Connection Project will complete a sidewalk gap and bike lane on the north side of Pacifica Avenue, from Mariners Cove Drive to approximately 525 feet west. This project is directly across from the Rio Vista Elementary School in Bay Point.  
  
This project is receiving $600,000 in Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds from the State which allowed this underfunded project to go to construction. As part of the ATP grant requirements, the County is required to partner with the local California Conservation Corps (CCC). CCC is a state agency that provides work experience to adults to develop their project management skills, teamwork, and project execution.   
  
The CCC has indicated their desire to remove the trees needed for the project to move forward. In accordance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, tree removal work for the project should be completed before February 1, 2017 in order to avoid nesting bird season.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract is not approved, future ATP grant applications may be penalized since the County did not partner with the CCC.
