RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (Flood Control District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute the Proposition 1 Ecosystem Restoration and Climate Adaptation Grant Agreement Number P1-2211 (Grant Agreement) between the Flood Control District and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy in the amount of $550,000 to provide funding for the Marsh Creek Reservoir Restoration and Total Mercury Reduction Project (Project), Brentwood area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Grant Agreement provides $550,000 in Proposition 1 Delta Conservancy grant funds for the Project. The Flood Control District’s match from Zone 1 funds is $479,843. (Project No. 7521-6D8495)

BACKGROUND:

On December 15, 2021, the Flood Control District applied for a $350,000 grant from Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Conservancy for the Project. The grant application was authorized by the Board of Supervisors on December 7, 2021. Delta Conservancy has accepted the application and indicated their intent to award the Flood Control District $550,000 for the project. The additional $200,000 award amount was requested by the Flood Control District and approved by the Delta Conservancy Board on March 22, 2023. Acceptance of the grant and approval of the Grant Agreement will allow the Flood Control District to apply the funds toward the design and permitting of the Project. Under the Grant Agreement, the Flood Control District is obligated to indemnify Delta Conservancy from any and all liabilities for any claims and damages that may arise out of the Project and the Grant Agreement.
