CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
On March 20, 2018, the County entered into a contract with EMC Planning Group to conduct the environmental review for the Highway 101 Commercial Nodes Project in the amount of $79,570.95
On July 23, 2019, amendment to the original contract #1 was approved by the Board of Supervisors to add $64,429.05 to the original contract. County staff requested additional professional services from EMC that were not anticipated when the original scope of work was created. The additional scope of services includes attending Planning Commission meetings, drafting memos and presenting project information to the Planning Commission, making revisions to the County General Plan and preparing an addendum to the County General Plan Environmental Impact Report, and responding to public comments from the these processes.
Due to the complexity of this project, County staff is requesting amendment to the original contract #2 be authorized by the Board of Supervisors as additional work still needs to be completed in order to finish the environmental assessment. This additional work consists of making revisions to the C-3 code, revising the C-3 Node boundary maps, conducting an Archaeological Investigation for the properties located within the Betabel Road Regional Commercial Node and Livestock 101 C-3 Commercial Node, prepare up to five addendums to the County General Plan Update, attend Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors meetings, and meet with County staff and Counsel as needed.
