RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of Conservation and Development, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Alta Planning + Design, Inc., to extend the term from December 31, 2019 to February 29, 2020, to allow the Contractor to continue analyzing the feasibility of active transportation concepts for the Iron Horse Corridor.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the County General Fund. 100% funded by a Transportation for Livable Communities grant from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.

BACKGROUND:

In June 2018, the Department of Conservation and Development ("DCD") entered into a contract with Alta Planning + Design, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $349,568 for the period June 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019, to assist DCD in developing and studying the feasibility of active transportation concepts for the Iron Horse Corridor. It is now necessary to extend this contract to allow the Contractor to continue providing their services. The Administrative Draft Study was completed in November 2019 and is currently under review. The Final Draft will be completed in January 2020 and revised (if necessary) after public review. There will be no change to the existing payment limit of $349,568.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If unapproved, Alta Planning + Design, Inc., would not be able to continue to provide their services, which may result in delayed delivery of the Final Study.
