Byron Airport General Plan Amendment Project, for the period from August 19, 2015, through August 18, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The environmental review for the Byron Airport project will be 100% funded from the Mariposa Energy Project
Community Benefits Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On December 11, 2012, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of Conservation and Development
(DCD) to initiate a General Plan Amendment (GPA) study, and undertake necessary environmental review, for
consideration of changes or updates to the General Plan policies for Byron Airport. The purpose is to provide
consistency with the 2005 Byron Airport Master Plan and to allow for the range of land uses contemplated under the
Master Plan.
Following extensive discussions between staff of the DCD and Public Works Department - Airports Division, and the
Contra Costa County Aviation Advisory Committee, a scope of work for the GPA study, which includes a zoning
text amendment for the Byron Airport Planned Unit Zoning District, was presented to the Board of Supervisors'
Airports Committee on September 11, 2014. The Committee accepted the report and directed staff to move forward.

Subject:Contract with Dudek for Environmental Services Related to Byron Airport
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
In April 2015, DCD staff released a request for proposals (RFP) to prepare the environmental document for the
Byron Airport GPA study. Eight environmental consulting firms were solicited, with two submitting responses to
the RFP. While both firms appear capable of completing the necessary work, the bid from Dudek, even after
incorporating additional tasks requested by County staff, is still $71,186 lower than the competing bid for
completing a full environmental impact report. The DCD thus selected Dudek as the environmental consultant.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve this contract, then DCD will be unable to complete the environmental review for
the Byron Airport General Plan Amendment project.
