Subject:Amend Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting contract to increase the payment limit to $150,000, effective
February 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
First was the protracted time and effort involved with the successful negotiations with the
Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (and the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board) for reissuance of the East County NPDES
Permit. The protracted negotiations coupled with the reduction in staffing required a
greater than anticipated level of consultant support.
Second, the unanticipated level of technical support needed to initiate, plan, and review
the first HMP monitoring site.
Third, staff did not fully anticipate the time commitment, complexity, and the scope of
C.3 projects that have been undertaken regionally.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract with Dan Cloak Environmental Consulting is not amended, the contractor
will not be able to provide services beyond the month of February, 2011 and all
municipalities may be in non-compliance with the Joint Municipal NPDES permits
issued by the San Francisco Bay and Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control
Boards. Potentially, fines totaling $10,000 per day and $10 per gallon of stormwater
discharge for all affected entities could be imposed.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
