RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Horizon Water and Environment, LLC, (Contractor) to extend the term from March 13, 2019 to March 13, 2020, with no change to the original payment limit, for continued specialized program support and coordination services, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Flood Control District Funds

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)

BACKGROUND:

This amendment will extend the contract to complete the final reviews of the Streambed Maintenance Agreement Program and environmental permitting assistance with the various regulatory agencies for all work within creeks in Contra Costa County. This agreement was written by the Contractor and has been submitted to the regulatory agencies for their review and comments. Once we receive comments from the regulatory agencies, then the Contractor will assist in the preparation of the response to comments. This agreement represents four years of preparation between the FC District and the regulatory agencies. Without the contract amendment, the FC District might not be able to complete this Streambed Maintenance Agreement, that will greatly handicap our abilities to perform routine maintenance within our creeks and waterways.

All other conditions and terms in the original contract entered into on March 13, 2014 between the FC District and Contractor, remain in full force and effect.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without the approval of the Board of Supervisors, the District will be unable to continue on-call services for specialized program support and coordination.
