RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or desginee, to enter into a contract amendment with URS Corporation Americas extending the contract termination date from December 31, 2009 to February 28, 2010 for development of a County-wide Earthquake Response Plan with no change in payment limit of $325,000.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$325,000; 100% funded by State Homeland Security Grant Program funds, budgeted. This extension does not increase the payment limit.

BACKGROUND:

On June 2, 2009 the Board of Supervisors authorized the Sheriff-Coroner to enter into a contract with URS Corporation Americas to prepare and develop an Earthquake Response Plan for the County (Item C.41). Extension of the contract will enable the contractor to complete deliverables. The emphasis of study have been the specific critical areas that are likely to require assistance from State and Federal authorities. The Plan provides an overview based on the County's existing Emergency Operations Plan, the plans of incorporated cities and other relevant agencies (the Regional Emergency Coordination Plan (RECP), and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Bay Area Catastrophic Earthquake Concept Plan. Further, the County Earthquake Response plan will provide incorporated cities and other entities a mechanism to refine their earthquake plans.
