RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Circlepoint, to extend the term from December 31, 2017 through June 30, 2018, and increase the payment limit by $30,905 to a new payment limit of $191,895 to provide continued service to complete the Environmental Impact Report for the Ball Estate Subdivision.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund. The cost for preparing the environmental impact report is paid by the project applicant.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) received an application from Camille Avenue, LLC, and Camille Ironwood Properties, LLC, requesting approval of a Major Subdivision for the “Ball Estate” Residential Project (County File #SD13-9338). The Department of Conservation and Development determined that this project required the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act. The County awarded a contract to Circlepoint (Contract #C49463), who is currently preparing the document. Analysis of one additional staging area for the project needs to be conducted and incorporated into the document. As a result, an increased expenditure limit of $30,905 and extended contract term are needed in order to complete the remaining tasks for the environmental review.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract amendment is not approved, the DCD will be unable to complete the environmental review for the pending land development application.
