RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with First Carbon Solutions, to increase the payment limit by $4,000 to new payment limit of $509,092 and extend the term from September 9, 2019 through September 9, 2020 to complete the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) for the Tassajara Parks Project in the Tassajara Parks/San Ramon area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. The applicant is responsible for paying the costs of the additional work to complete the FEIR for the project.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) contracted with (FCS) in September of 2014 to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Tassajara Parks Project involving the construction of a 125-unit residential subdivision with substantial dedication of park land in the Tassajara Valley/San Ramon area.  

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
  
The County released a Draft EIR (DEIR) on May 12, 2016, and released the Recirculated Draft EIR (RDEIR) on September 29, 2016. The County received public comments on both the DEIR and the RDEIR, to which the County will provide responses in the form of an FEIR. Due to the amount and complexity of comments received from the County in response to the screen-check Draft FEIR, the Contractor requires additional funds and time beyond that which was previously anticipated. This amendment will allow the Contractor to continue to provide the services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

There would not be sufficient funds and time for FCS to complete the FEIR.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The proposal consists of amending an existing consultant contract for the completion of a project EIR. There will be no impacts to children’s programs within the County.
