Subject:Novation contract with ECORP Consulting, Inc. for on-call environmental consulting services effective
March 1, 2009 through March 1, 2012
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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. This novation
contract includes additional provisions that apply to projects funded by the United States
Department of Transportation. The novation contract, if approved, will include these
additional terms and will make the previous March 1, 2009, CSA contract void.
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.
