SUBJECT: Contract for Dredge Sediment Testing-- WU
John Baldwin Ship Channel
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Chair to execute a contract for $24,000 with the Corps
of Engineers for testing of dredge sediments for berthing areas
adjacent to the proposed John Baldwin Phase II Ship Channel
Project for use in the environmental impact statement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No County cost--100 percent funding from industry beneficiaries
of ship channel project.
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The County is a local sponsor for the Corps of Engineers John
Baldwin Phase II Ship Channel project. The project will consist
of deepening the waterway from approximately Pinole to the
Benicia-Martinez bridge. As a part of the project, dredging will
also occur at the berthing areas for various industries that will
be using the ship channel project. The Corps of Engineers is
sampling the main ship channel as part of the environmental
documents necessary to comply with the National Environmental
Policy Act. The Corps has invited industries to participate in a
sediment core sampling program for the berthing areas so that the
sampling can all be done at the same time, resulting in a cost
savings. The cost for all aspects of the berthing area,
including the sediment testing, must be borne by the local
sponsor. The County has stated that all local costs from the
ship channel project will be assessed to the industrial users of
the ship channel. In this case, the County is acting as a
conduit for private sector local funds for the Corps of Engineers
project. The following companies have expressed interest in
participating in the Corps' sampling program:
Pacific Refining - $16,000
Tosco Corporation - $ 8 ,000
