SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Redevelopment Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with Ernst & Associates, effective June 30, 2004, to increase the payment limit by

conference center at the Pleasant Hill BART Station, with no change in the term through June

FISCAL IMPACT:
None. No general funds are involved. The Agency has budgeted funds for this initiative.
BACKGROUND:
The Pleasant Hill BART Specific Plan permits a business conference center to be established
on Areas 11 or 12 — the BART property. A conference center is defined in the Specific Plan
as a facility designed for business and community meetings, education, and related purposes.
Ernst & Associates has been retained to conduct the feasibility study to assess market
demand, identify an optimal size and location, prepare an economic assessment, and identify
potential operators. The increase in contract amount is necessary to cover expenses incurred
by Ernst & Associates in the execution of the feasibility study.
