RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Circlepoint, to extend the term from June 30, 2018 through December 31, 2019 and increase the payment limit by $35,660 to a new payment limit of $227,555 to provide continued service to complete the Environmental Impact Report for the Ball Estate Major Subdivision in the Alamo area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund. The cost for preparing the Environmental Impact Report for the Ball Estate Major Subdivision 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 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. A $35,660 increase of the contract amount and extension of the contract duration is necessary in order to allow for review of additional technical reports submitted by the

applicant and incorporation of Circlepoint's analysis of the reports into the Ball Estates Environmental Impact Report.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract amendment is not approved, the DCD will be unable to complete the environmental review for the Ball Estate major subdivision application.
