RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Environmental Science Associates (ESA) to increase the payment limit by $129,011 to a new payment limit of $375,869 to complete the Environmental Impact Report for the Bayview Residential Project located in the Martinez/Vinehill area, with no change in the original term of February 7, 2020 to August 7, 2021. The contract amendment is necessary to cover the costs to update the EIR’s traffic analysis and other sections due to the passage of time and to comply with current CEQA analysis requirements. (County Files SD04-8809, GP04-0013, RZ04-3148, DP04-3080)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the County General Fund. The contract is 100% funded by the applicant.

BACKGROUND:

In February of 2017, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) entered into a contract with ESA to provide technical assistance and services to DCD related to the Bayview Residential Project. This amendment will allow the contractor to continue to prepare the Environmental Impact Report for the project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the proposed contract amendment is not approved, the contractor would not be able to complete the Environmental Impact Report.
