RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Department of Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to exceute a contract extension with Entrix Incorporated to continue preparing an EIR, effective January 1, 2010 to extend the term of the contract from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010, with no change in payment limit of $711,328.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The applicant is responsible for covering the cost of preparing the EIR.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development has contracted with Entrix since July 25, 2007 to prepare an EIR for the proposed Praxair 21.3-mile Hydrogen Pipeline. However, preparation of the EIR have proven to be more complex and time consuming than anticipated. This amendment will allow Entrix to continue providing services.
