APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with Alta Planning & Design to extend the term from December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2016
with no change to the payment limit of $278,873, to complete the planning study of the Olympic Corridor Trail
Connector.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No impact to the General Fund. 100% Measure J Return to Source Funding.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) received a grant from the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority to fund a study that will identify options for improving the non-motorized connection along the Olympic
Boulevard Corridor between the Lafayette-Moraga Trail and the Iron Horse Trail. In December, 2012, DCD
contracted with Alta Planning & Design to develop the Olympic Corridor Trail Connector Study.
A contract amendment was approved on December 16, 2014 for Alta Planning & Design to perform additional tasks
related to the Study, including additional necessary technical review of the recommended alignment (technology,

Subject:Contract Amendment with Alta Planning & Design for the Olympic Corridor Trail Connector Study
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
DCD is seeking to extend the contract amendment through December 31, 2016 in order that Alta Planning &
Design can continue to perform these additional tasks, as staff and the consultant were not able to initiate the final
tasks during the original contract period.
The funding amount is unchanged. County Counsel has reviewed and approved the contract extension as to form.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract extension is not approved, the contractor will be unable to continue performing the tasks required to
complete this study.
