III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Olympic Boulevard Widening and Overlay Project is located
between Tice Valley Boulevard and Las Trampas Creek Bridge and
includes pavement widening, structural overlay, storm drain,
street lights, roadway median and a pedestrian pathway. As part
of the project studies, an Environmental Assessment/Initial Study
is required to determine the potential environmental impacts the
project may have and to recommend mitigations.
The County entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with
Darwin Myers Associates to prepare the Environmental
Assessment/Initial Study for $8, 340. A draft of the document was
submitted to Caltrans for review in April 1988. This additional
Agreement is needed to revise the document per Caltrans ' comments
and to prepare the final Environmental Assessment/Initial Study
in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act and
the National Environmental Policy Act.
The Transportation Committee reviewed this matter on October 10,
1988.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve a Consulting Services Agreement with Darwin
Myers Associates will result in a delay in obtaining
environmental clearances for this project and may result in the
loss of federal funds.
