AGENDA SECTION:

CONSENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

On March 8, 2016, the County entered into a contract with Rincon Consultants Inc. to provide CEQA review and processing services for the  "Bluffs and Ridgemark" project at a cost of $35,634.00.

 

On July 26, 2016, the original contract was amended to add $91,198.00 so that Rincon could prepare the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the "Bluffs and Ridgemark" project.

 

On May 3, 2017, the contract was amended for a second time in the amount of $30,774.00 so that a Transportation Analysis could be completed as part of the EIR for the "Bluffs and Ridgemark" project.

 

On May 9, 2017, amendment #3 to the original contract with Rincon Consultants Inc. was approved by the Board of Supervisors to add $14,986.00 to augment the original contract so that the contractor re-evaluate the EIR to determine if any modifications were required due to the project's site plan being modified.

 

Currently, the project is ongoing and near completion, therefore a fourth amendment is necessary to add $43,000.00 to finalize the environmental review process. It is anticipated this review will be completed in FY 2018-19.  It is not anticipated that additional funding will be necessary.  This additional funding will be reimbursed to the County through development fees. Therefore, this amendment will not impact the General Fund.
