HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 12082015 - C.39RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development, or designee, to
execute an Interagency Agreement with Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD), which includes
non-standard General Conditions including indemnification provisions, in an amount not to exceed $40,000 for the
Pinole Creek Fish Passage Enhancement Project, for the period January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the County General Fund. 100% covered by Contra Costa County Fish and Wildlife Propagation Funds.
BACKGROUND:
On April 22, 2014, the Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of grant funds from the Fish and Wildlife
Propagation Fund to 16 grant applicants. The Contra Costa Resource Conservation District was approved to receive
$40,000 for the Pinole Creek Fish Passage Enhancement project. The goal of the project is to provide adult steelhead
access to upstream spawning and rearing habitat by enhancing fish passage conditions at the I-80 Pinole Creek
culvert. The proposed design accommodates both upstream and downstream passage for adult rainbow trout/steelhead.
Construction was postponed due to delays in the process of obtaining regulatory and land use permit approvals. The
project will be put out to bid early in the year 2016 and, provided regulatory agencies issue all permits in time,
construction should begin in June 2016 with an expected completion date of October 2016. In the event that any
regulatory permits are not issued in time for the 2016 construction season, the project will be constructed in 2017,
following the same monthly schedule.

Subject:Interagency Agreement Between the Department of Conservation and Development & Contra Costa Resource
Conservation District. (49609)
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Consistent with the April 22, 2014 Board of Supervisors approval to allocate grant funds from the Fish and
Wildlife Propagation Fund to the project, CCRCD will use 100 percent of the grant award to contract with a
construction contractor for site preparation, erosion and sedimentation, and clearwater diversion and de-watering
for the Pinole Creek Fish Passage Enhancement Project. All Fish and Wildlife Propagation funds will be provided
on a cost reimbursement basis.
Since the proposed contract deviates from the standard county indemnification provisions (see attached), it is
subject to the review and approval by the Board of Supervisors.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this agreement is not approved, construction of the Pinole Creek Fish Passage Enhancement Project would be
delayed until CCRCD is able to obtain other sources of revenue.
