RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute the Local Project Sponsor Agreement (LPS Agreement) with the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) to provide up to $850,000 from a California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWM) Grant for the Three Creeks Parkway Restoration Project (Project).

FISCAL IMPACT:

The LPS Agreement provides up to $850,000 in DWR IRWM grant funds for the Project. Remaining Project costs are funded by Flood Control Drainage Area 130 funds (Fund 256200) and other local, state and federal grant funds. (Project No. 7562-6D8490)

BACKGROUND:

On September 17, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved the Flood Control District’s application to DWR for $850,000 for the Project. The DWR grant required applicants to participate in a regional IRWM group in order to be eligible for the IRWM grant funding. The Project is included in the list of projects in the East Contra Costa IRWM Plan. The East Contra Costa IRWM group evaluated the projects in the IRWM Plan, and selected five projects, including the Flood Control District’s Project, for a joint application. The CCWD acted as the lead agency in the joint grant application to DWR for IRWM grant funding.

Subsequently, DWR awarded CCWD an IRWM grant in the amount of $2,700,000 (Grant Agreement No. 4600013833) for five projects sponsored by the Flood Control District, Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District, City of Antioch, City of Brentwood, and Diablo Water District, known as Local Project Sponsors. The award amount for the Flood Control District’s Project is $850,000. The grant period extends from June 27, 2020 until June 30, 2024.

The proposed LPS Agreement is intended to define roles and responsibilities and provide indemnity protection to CCWD for executing the DWR Grant Agreement on behalf of the Local Project Sponsors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the Board of Supervisors’ approval, the Flood Control District will not be able to accept the DWR IRWM Grant Program described above.
