RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with FCS International, Inc. (dba FirstCarbon Solutions/Michael Brandman Associates) to extend the term from December 31, 2021 through December 31, 2022 and increase the payment limit by $68,894 to a new payment limit of $293,473 for environmental impact report preparation services for the CenterPoint warehouse project in the North Richmond area. (County File #CDDP18-03007)

FISCAL IMPACT:

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

BACKGROUND:

In July 2019, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) entered into a contract with FCS to provide technical assistance and services to DCD related to the CenterPoint warehouse project. The contract amendment is necessary to provide additional Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas analysis, as well as review of a revised Operational Health Risk Assessment. 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.
