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, 2016 through December 31, 2017 and increase the payment limit by $36,000 to a new payment limit of $160,990 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. Several revisions to the project description and changes to technical reports were received from the applicant resulting in significant additional work to revise the analysis. As a result, an increased expenditure limit of $36,000 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.
