RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Cardno Inc. to increase the payment limit by $241,957 to a new payment limit of $585,836, and to extend the termination date of the contract from July 5, 2022 to January 5, 2024, to complete the Environmental Impact Report for the Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewed Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the County General Fund. The contract is 100% funded by applicant fees.
BACKGROUND:
In January of 2021, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) entered into a contract with Cardno Inc. to provide technical assistance and services to DCD related to the Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewed Project. The payment limit increase is for additional effort by the contractor not previously contemplated in the preparation of the Phillips 66 Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report, including additional work to respond to comments and advise the County on technical issues related to refinery operations and impacts, and is necessary to complete the environmental review.
