FROM: MAURICE M. SHIU, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: January 14, 2003
SUBJECT: Amendment to Consulting Services Agreement for Miscellaneous Soils Investigations for the
State Route 4 West Gap Project, Hercules Area
Project No. 4660-6X4152 SCH# 95043029
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute, on behalf of Contra Costa County, an
amendment to Consulting Services Agreement with Environmental Engineering Associates, increasing the
payment limit from $250,000 to $300,000 and amending the completion date from June 30, 2003 to
December 31, 2003 for soils investigation and septic system replacement matters in connection with the
State Route 4 West GAP Project.
11. Financial impact:
Payments under this contract are charged directly to the State Route 4 West GAP project and funded by the
Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
III. Background and Reasons for Recommendations:
The Public Works Department is involved in the State Route 4 West GAP project on behalf of the Contra
Costa Transportation Authority which requires soils investigation for the septic system replacements. This
amendment will increase the payment limit for this contract from $250,000 to a new payment limit of
$300,000. The Public Works Department recommends that the services of Environmental Engineering
Associates be retained for this project. The amount of work and complexity of the soils investigation and
septic system replacement far exceeded the original estimate. The term of this Agreement extends through
the completion of the project.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Negative action will result in an incomplete assessment of the property's septic systems impacted by the
project which the County needs to acquire on behalf of the Authority. This could result in substantial
financial risks associated with contamination problems.
