HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07272010 - C.06RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, Flood Control & Water Conservation
District, or designee, to execute an agreement with American Rivers, Inc., a non-profit
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the District of Columbia, in the amount
of $100,000, to reimburse them for a portion of the Marsh Creek Fish Ladder construction,
effective July 27, 2010, through December 31, 2011, Brentwood area. (100% Flood Control
Zone 1 Funds)
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the General Fund. By entering into this agreement, the Contra
Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District (FC District) agrees to
reimburse American Rivers for a portion of the fish ladder construction costs not covered
by existing grant funds, estimated to not exceed $100,000. This cost will be funded by Flood
Control Zone 1 Funds. The FC District has applied for, and expects to receive, State Prop 50
grant funds through the East County Integrated Regional Management Plan to offset the
Flood Control Zone 1 Funds expended for this project.

Subject:Approve funding agreement with American Rivers, Brentwood area. (100% Flood Control Zone 1 Funds)
Project No. 7521-6D8449
BACKGROUND:
The FC District has been coordinating with American Rivers to plan, design, and
construct a fish ladder within the existing drop structure in Marsh Creek to improve fish
passage. American Rivers received several grants for this work; however, the funding
received does not adequately cover the construction costs based on low bid.
Under the agreement, American Rivers will construct the fish ladder improvement and
the FC District will reimburse American Rivers for eligible costs listed in the agreement.
Upon satisfactory completion, the FC District will accept the fish ladder for maintenance.
This Board Order authorizes the FC District Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute an
agreement substantially similar to the attached agreement, subject to County Counsel's
approval as to form of the final agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the agreement is not approved, there will not be adequate funding for the fish ladder
project, and some grant funds could potentially be lost.
