RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Substantial Amendment to the County's FY 2018/19 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Action Plan, by amending the scope of work for improvements to pump stations located within the Hotchkiss Tract in Oakley, CA 94561.

FISCAL IMPACT:

CDBG funds are provided to the County on a formula allocation basis by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - CFDA #14.218. There is no fiscal impact to the County's General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 26, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved the Contra Costa County CDBG Action Plan for FY 2018/19. As part of this plan, Reclamation District 799 (RD799) was awarded $84,000 in CDBG funds to improve Hotchkiss Tract Pump Stations 3 and 4 by installing manual transfer switches and replacing a dilapidated trash screen. The pumps housed at each station protect the land and 1,250 residents, residing within the Hotchkiss Tract, from becoming inundated by flood waters during times of heavy rainfall and elevated water stages; thereby preventing property damage, increasing public safety, and providing vector control.

RD799 recently notified CDBG staff that the pump at Pump Station 3 has completely failed. Therefore, RD799 has requested, and CDBG staff recommends, amending the scope-of-work to include the additional repair/replacement work to the pump at Pump Station 3. This Substantial Amendment only modifies the project scope by including the repair/replacement of the pump at Pump Station 3, and does not change the original award of $84,000 of CDBG funds to this project. RD799 is getting bids for Pump Station 3 and once the bids are submitted will know whether or not there are adequate funds to proceed with repairs of Pump Station 4.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not approving the Substantial Amendment will place a financial burden on RD799 to replace the pump, or risk catastrophic flood inundation. Furthermore, it will delay and/or prevent the original pump station improvements.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Hotchkiss Tract pump stations further the Children's Report Card outcome of helping families to be safe, stable, and nurturing.
