RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Dahlin Group, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $191,000, to provide planning services for the Oak Park Sale of Surplus (South Pleasant Hill Parcels), for the period of September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2017, Pleasant Hill area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

All costs associated with this contract will be offset by 100% of the Oak Park Sale of Surplus proceeds.

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa County (County) and the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (District) together own a total of three (3) properties in the South Pleasant Hill area. The County owns one 10 acre parcel on Oak Park Boulevard south of the Pleasant Hill Middle School, which is currently vacant (the School District has an ownership interest in 2 of the 10 acres). The District owns 6 acres to the north of the Pleasant Hill Middle School and is also currently vacant. The County also owns the Pleasant Hill Library and Administrative offices on a 4.8 acre parcel south and west of the Pleasant Hill Middle School.

In February 2014, the Board of Supervisors authorized County staff to work with the City of Pleasant Hill (City) regarding the disposition of the County and District parcels. County staff has been in discussions with City staff on the allowable uses and development of the property. In preparation of placing the parcels on the market, Dahlin Group, Inc. was selected after a solicitation process to assist staff with planning services for the County and District’s parcels.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Staff will not be able to move forward with the planning process, which would delay placing parcels on the market.
