TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, CHIEF ENGINEER
DATE: December 11, 1990
SUBJECT: APPROVE THE CONSULTING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DARWIN MYERS
ASSOCIATES, SAND CREEK BASIN INVESTIGATION, BRENTWOOD AREA
Project No.: 7505-6F8168
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer to execute a Consulting Services Agreement with
Darwin Myers Associates in the amount of $23,650.00 to provide a Supplement to the
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) approved on August 29, 1990, for regional flood control
improvements in the Marsh Creek watershed.
II. Financial Impact:
Flood Control District Drainage Area 104 will fund the study costs, estimated to be $23,650.00.
Ill. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The Supplement to the approved EIR is to investigate the impacts of alternative basin sites or
other flood control improvements on Sand Creek in Drainage Area 104. The approved'EIR
discussed the impacts of only one basin site on Sand Creek, and it was the Board's direction
to supplement the EIR to include other sites.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve the Consulting Services Agreement will delay the search for alternative
solutions to flood improvements on Sand Creek. In view of the creek's insufficient capacity it
is important to develop a plan for flood improvements in the Sand Creek watershed.
