RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Dudek, a corporation, to extend the term from February 18, 2018 through June 30, 2019, to provide continued service to complete the environmental impact report (EIR) for the Byron Airport General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) update, with no change to the payment limit of $223,801.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The environmental review for the Byron Airport GPA and ALUCP update is 100% funded from the Mariposa Energy Project Community Benefits Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development has contracted with Dudek, a corporation, to prepare the EIR for the Byron Airport GPA and ALUCP update. Dudek produced three potential airport development scenarios as part of the EIR process. Over the past several months, County Airports Division staff has been in consultation with the Caltrans Aeronautics Division regarding the feasibility of these scenarios. While this proactive consultation has been valuable, it was not anticipated in the EIR contract schedule. Thus, staff recommends that the contract be extended to June 30, 2019.
