RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute a contract with Tetra Tech Inc., in an amount not to exceed $112,500 to develop an update to the County's Local Hazard Mitigation Plan for the term of September 1, 2016 through August 1, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$112,500 FEMA funded (75%) and in kind no cash match of $37,500 (25%).

BACKGROUND:

The County developed its hazard mitigation plan pursuant to the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-109) that enables to the county to pursue hazard mitigation grant funding under the Robert T. Stafford act, administered by FEMA. If a community does not have a FEMA approved hazard mitigation plan, it is not eligible to receive funding under the 5 FEMA hazard mitigation grant programs authorized under the Stafford Act. Section 201.69(c)4(i), 44CFR, requires a mitigation plan to be comprehensively updated within a 5-year cycle. The Contra Costa County Hazard Mitigation Plan will officially expire on February 27, 2017. If the plan is not updated and approved by both the State of California and FEMA region X, the County and its planning partners will net be eligible to pursue funding under the requisite programs made available after February 27, 2017; until such time that the County and its planning partners are covered by an approved hazard mitigation plan.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action on this may preclude the County from obtaining FEMA Disaster Mitigation fund or Disaster Recovery funds in the future.
