COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: DECEMBER 13, 2005
SUBJECT: CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH AMY SKEWES-COX FOR PREPARING
AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR SD018533 (THE HILLVIEW
SUBDIVISION IN EL SOBRANTE (Contract #C48923)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Community Development Director, or his designee,to execute a
contract amendment with Amy Skewes-Cox effective December 14,2005,to extend the term from
December 31, 2005 to June 30, 2006, and to increase the payment limit by$15,295 to a new total
payment limit in an amount not to exceed $95,295, for providing continual services in the
preparation of an Environmental impact Report(EIR)for the Hillview Subdivision in El Sobrante.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost is covered by revenue received from application fees paid by developers and applicants.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
This project is a proposed 40-lot residential subdivision on a ten acre site in El Sobrante. On July
13,2004,the Board of Supervisors determined that an EIR was required. During preparation of the
Draft EIR,the environmental geologistforthe EIR consultant recommended laboratorytesting of soil
samples for possible contamination. That testing was outside the scope of the EIR consultant's
contract. Additionally, during preparation of the Responses to Comments on the Draft EIR, it was
determined that additional environmental analysis was required that is outside the scope of the EIR
consultant's contract. Specifically additional traffic analysis is required at four Hilltop Drive
intersections; and evaluation of one additional EIR Alternative was needed to respond to public
comments. The proposed Contract Amendment allows forfunding of this environmental research.
The cost of these out-of-scope services is$15,295.00. Additionally,the term of the existing contract
is set to expire December 31,2005. The Contract Amendment addresses both of these items. The
addition of$15,295.00 to the contract raises the payment limit from$80,000.00 to$95,295.00,and
adding six months to the contract extends the term of the contract from December 31,2005 to June
30, 2006. With approval of this Contract Amendment, the EIR process can be completed and a
public hearing can be scheduled before the Board of Supervisors.
