APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with First Carbon Solutions, to increase the payment limit by $45,210 to a new payment limit of
$282,039 for services required to complete the environmental impact report (EIR) for the Tassajara Parks project in
the Tassajara Valley (San Ramon area), with no change in the original term of September 10, 2014 through
September 9, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. The increased payment limit will be paid from permit application fees paid by the
applicant.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development contracted with First Carbon Solutions in September of 2014 to
prepare an EIR for the Tassajara Parks project. The project involves 125 homes and substantial dedication of park
land in the Tassajara Valley / San Ramon area. The project requires approval of a General Plan Amendment,
Rezoning, Subdivision and Development Plan applications. First Carbon Solutions has been working on the EIR and
has identified additional analysis needed to complete the EIR. Subsequently, the scope of work has changed to include
new traffic, aesthetic and administrative environmental services that are needed to complete the EIR. The payment
limit increase will enable the contractor to complete the EIR. There is no change to the term of the contract.
