TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Harvey E. Bragdon, Contra
Director of Community Development Costa
DATE: November 2, 1989 Wu*
SUBJECT: Amendment One to the Consultant Contract for the
Preparation of the Environmental Impact Report for the
County Solid Waste Management Plan Revision
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors, or a
designee, to execute Amendment One to the County' s contract with
the firm of EIP Associates for the preparation of the
Environmental Impact Report for the County Solid Waste Management
Plan Revision and General Plan Amendments for the five landfill
sites included in the plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the EIR Amendment is $33, 480 . It will be funded by
Solid Waste Planning fees (tipping fee surcharge) .
BACKGROUND
The original contract for $107, 238 was approved by the Board of
Supervisors on January 24, 1989 . The contract did not anticipate
the amount and detail of comments received, nor the rapid work
schedule required. Additional analysis was required by
government agencies; and as a result, the consultant had to
expend considerably more time and effort than originally expected
to produce the EIR, including an Administrative Draft Response to
Comments document. The amendment also covers additional work
performed by the consultant in reviewing the findings required by
the California Environmental Quality Act. The consultant' s extra
work is described in letters to Contra Costa County dated July
19, 1989, and October 6 , 1989 . The consultant and the Community
Development Department were aware that costs would increase, but
because of uncertainty over the amount, decided to await the
completion of the Final EIR before amending the contract.
