RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Dudek, a corporation, to extend the term from June 30, 2019 through December 31, 2020, and increase the payment limit by $48,785 to a new payment limit of $272,586, to provide continued service to complete the environmental impact report (EIR) for the Byron Airport General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) update in the Byron area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The environmental review for the Byron Airport GPA and ALUCP update is 100% funded from the Mariposa Energy Project Community Benefits Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development has contracted with Dudek to prepare the EIR for the Byron Airport GPA and ALUCP update. Two significant and unanticipated events occurred in the past year. First, while the draft EIR was being prepared, a potential developer approached the County and proposed adding to the project approximately 11.7 acres adjacent to Byron Airport. Since this land was not included in previous studies supporting the EIR (biology, cultural resources, etc.), supplemental studies

were necessary. Second, Dudek and County staff determined that the amount of anticipated development necessitated preparation of a water supply assessment pursuant to Senate Bill 610. Neither of these occurrences was anticipated in the EIR budget or schedule. Thus, staff recommends that the contract payment limit be increased and the term be extended through December 31, 2020.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the contract with Dudek is not amended, then the EIR for the Byron Airport GPA and ALUCP update will not be completed.
