RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Upper Sand Creek Basin Wetland Restoration Project contingency fund increase of $25,000 for a new contingency fund total of $80,804.19, and a new payment limit of $218,846.09, effective February 13, 2018, as recommended by the Chief Engineer, Antioch area. County Project No. 7562-6D8518-13 (District III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project is being funded by 100% Drainage Area 130 Funds.

BACKGROUND:

Additional funds are necessary to pay the contractor, SMP Services, Inc., for the additional cost to be incurred as a result of willow mattress installation and berm repair work as a result of winter 2016-17 storm damage and for additional storm repair needs from potential future storm damage. These repairs are necessary to support success of the restoration area to comply with mitigation requirement by the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan/Natural Communities Conservation Plan (HCP/NCCP), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Sacramento District, Regional Water Quality Control Board-Central Valley, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife-Region 3.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The lack of approval would prevent the contractor from supporting successful completion of the restoration area and prevent the contractor from being compensated for additional work performed by the contractor.
