longer appropriate for this type of work. Therefore, a novation contract was implemented
onto the County’s Standard Long Form contract to replace the original CSA contract and
subsequent amendment, which included a payment limit increase of $50,000 to a new
contract total of $100,000.
This novation contract includes an additional payment limit increase of $100,000 to a
new payment limit of $200,000, and additional provisions that apply to projects funded
by the United States Department of Transportation. The attached novation contract, if
approved, will include these additional terms and will make the previous December 1,
2008, CSA contract void.
Condor is certified as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Woman Business Enterprise
(WBE), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and qualifies as Underutilized
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (UDBE). The Department has determined that
Condor is qualified to conduct the necessary work for environmental compliance of
various projects throughout the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, environmental assessments will not be completed in a timely
manner and the necessary California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation
Plan (HCP) clearances will not be obtained, which may delay the design and construction
of various projects and jeopardize funding.
