Subject:Amendment No. 2 to an existing Consulting Services Agreement with T.Y. Lin International, Orwood Road
Bridge Replacement Project
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
constructed primarily of wood components. As a result of its age and exposure to a
marine environment, the bridge is coming to the end of its serviceable life.
On May 10, 2005, the Board approved the Consulting Services Agreement for design of
the bridge replacement project with T.Y. Lin International. T.Y. Lin began preliminary
design of the new structure soon thereafter.
On October 6, 2006, the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) requested that the
County add an eight-foot wide Class 1 pedestrian pathway on the bridge. Caltrans agreed
that this addition was eligible for federal funds. Adding this Class 1 pedestrian pathway
to the bridge requires revising the project environmental documents in compliance with
California Enviromental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA).
Due to the need for the above-mentioned revisions to environmental documents, the
County has negotiated with T.Y. Lin International to conduct the necessary
environmental studies and prepare required reports.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action will result in the Public Works Department having to complete the
environmental studies in house and/or hire other environmental consultants, which will
delay project completion and possibly jeopardize federal funding.
