Report Title: Contract Amendment Rodeo Renewed EIR - Stantec (C46817)
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., to extend the term through December 31, 2024 and increase the payment limit by $135,551.48 to a new payment limit of $721,387.48, for the Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report for the Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewed Project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funded from project application fees. No impact on the County General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Under its contract with the County (Contract No. C46817), as previously amended, Stantec Consulting Services Inc., formerly Cardno, Inc., prepared an environmental impact report for the Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewed Project. On May 3, 2022, the Board certified the Project EIR and approved the Project. Due to a subsequent Superior Court ruling on the adequacy of the Project EIR (Communities for a Better Environment, et al., v. County of Contra Costa, et al.; Contra Costa County Superior Court Case No. N22-1080), additional environmental analysis and the preparation of a Revised EIR are required. The amended contract will cover the cost of preparing the Revised EIR. This amendment also acknowledges the assignment of the contract to Stantec Consulting Services Inc., which purchased Cardno, Inc.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A denial would prevent the County from obtaining or paying for the services needed to prepare the revised EIR.
