AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director or designee to execute a contract
amendment with BMS Design Group to increase the contract amount by $24,000 for a total
contract maximum of $250,000 for the Bailey Road Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement
Project and to extend the termination date from June 30, 2010 to July 30, 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE to the General Fund. The additional $24,000 being added to the planning contract
will be paid from the Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan adopted by the Board of
Supervisors in June 2008. The increased contract amount being proposed is within the
amount of funds allocated for this project in the expenditure plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors on March 3, 2009 approved a contract of up to $226,000 with
BMS Design Group of San Francisco, the lead consulting firm in the County's Bailey Road
Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Project. Funding for the contract is covered by a
$200,000 "Transportation for Livable Communities" grant from the Contra Costa

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
and $26,000 in local match provided by the Redevelopment Agency.
As the planning project has proceeded, it became evident that additional work was
necessary beyond the original scope included in the contract with BMS Design Group.
The tasks include additional traffic analysis needed for one of the alternative plans under
consideration, and additional meetings with Caltrans and BART that were not included in
the original work scope. The additional work will enable the consultants and County staff
to arrive at well-informed recommendations about changes to Bailey Road that will
improve pedestrian and bicycle safety while minimizing impacts on traffic flow and
meeting Caltrans' approval for changes to the State Route 4 freeway ramps at Bailey
Road, which are under Caltrans jurisdiction.
The additional work costs $23,688. Staff recommends increasing the maximum contract
amount by $24,000 to cover any additional small incidental expenses. The additional
contract cost will be paid from the County's Navy Mitigation Fund Expenditure Plan,
adopted by the Board of Supervisors in June 2008. That plan allocates $1.5 million in
available Navy Mitigation Funds for planning, design and construction of the Bailey
Road Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Project.
The revised maximum amount for the contract with BMS Design Group will be $250,000
pending approval of this item by the Board of Supervisors.
The Board also is asked to extend the termination date of the contract by one month to
accommodate the additional work. This would change the termination date to July 30,
2010.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Staff will have to make signifcant reductions in the costs of the remaining Bailey Road
planning process which will render it difficult to determine the best improvement plan for
Bailey Road.
