Subject:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Condor Country Consulting,
Brentwood/Byron area.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Project is ready to be constructed, therefore; environmental construction monitoring will be necessary for the
duration of the Project. Due to Condor’s heavy involvement with the required special studies, the Public Works
Deptartment has determined that Condor is best qualified of the three consultants solicited to conduct environmental
construction monitoring and reporting during the construction of the Project.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without Board approval, monitoring required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) clearances will
not be conducted, which may delay the construction of the Project and jeopardize funding.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
