RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract with JK2 & Associates (the “Contractor”) in an amount not to exceed $50,000 to provide consulting services on real property negotiations, for the period September 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the County General Fund. Costs will be covered by developer reimbursement or Housing Successor funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County and BART are members of the Pleasant Hill BART Station Leasing Authority, a joint powers agency (the “Authority”). The Authority is negotiating the private development of that portion of the Pleasant Hill Transit Village known as Block C. The Contractor will work with County staff and the County Counsel’s Office to (i) negotiate the final terms of an amendment to an existing Disposition and Development Agreement, (ii) negotiate a lease between BART and the Authority, and (iii) negotiate a sublease between the Authority and the developer. The Contractor will also provide support to the Housing Successor Agency’s property disposition program and other related tasks as directed by County staff.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, there may be a delay in the development of the Contra Costa Transit Village and a setback for the implementation of the Housing Successor Agency’s property disposition program.
