RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with Ecorp Consulting, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to provide on-call environmental consulting services, for the period March 1, 2009 through March 1, 2012.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no impact to the County General Fund. Funding is as follows: 45% Road funds, 45% Flood Control District funds, 10% Airport Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Consulting Services Agreement is needed to assist Public Works Department staff with obtaining environmental clearances and provide "on-call" environmental assessment for various projects associated with Flood Control, Road, and Airport projects.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Consulting Services Agreement is not approved, various flood control, road, and airport projects will not obtain environmental clearances, which may cause delays in their construction or repair.
