DATE: April 22, 1987 CourYty
SUBJECT: Consultant contract to prepare the Environmental Impact
Report for the Camino Tassajara General Plan Amendment.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve and authorize the Chairman of
the Board to execute on behalf of the County a contract with
the firm Darwin Myers Associates in the amount of $35, 497 ,
for the preparation of our Environmental Impact Report for
the Camino Tassajara General Plan Amendment request.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of the Environmental Impact Re-
port is borne by the project sponsors, Ygnacio Homes and
Braddock and Logan. In addition to the consultant contract,
the cost of the EIR includes a 25 percent surcharge ( $8,877 )
for staff administration services for a total of $44,371.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION: An Environmental Impact Report
(EIR) for the proposed project is required in terms of ='the
California Environmental Quality Act.
IV. BACKGROUND: The California Environmental Quality,.-Act re-
quires the preparation of an EIR for a proposed project
where the project is subject to a discretionary action by a
unit of government and where there is reason to believe that
the proposed project would result in one or more significant
( i.e. adverse) environmental impacts. The Initial Study for
the project identified several potential significant im-
pacts, and others were identified by parties responding to .
the project' s Notice of Preparation.
V. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Failure to execute this
contract would delay the preparation of the EIR. A certi-
fied EIR is a prerequisite if the project is to be approved.
The Board had previously directed that an EIR be prepared on
this project.
