SUBJECT: Delta Expressway Biotic Study, East County WO #0676-
6P4028-88 and 4580-6X4028-88
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations) & Background &
Justification
I. RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Public Works Director to execute a Consulting
Services Agreement with Environmental Science Associates, Inc. in
an amount not to exceed $20, 000 for completion of a biotic survey
for the proposed Delta Expressway project in East Contra Costa
County.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The study cost of $20, 000 will be advanced by Road Funds. The
City of Brentwood and the City of Antioch have pledged to
participate. They will reimburse the road funds for their share
of the cost when the joint exercise of powers agreements are
executed. The County share of the study will come out of area of
benefit funds from Oakley, Discovery Bay and others that may be
established in the future.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Last May 1987, Contra Costa County entered into an agreement with
Alameda County, the Contra Costa Water District, and the Cities
of Antioch, Brentwood, and Livermore to jointly plan a
transportation corridor from State Route 4 in Antioch to I-580 in
Livermore. The East County Corridor Study, under the direction
of a Steering Committee, was recently completed.

The Steering Committee has identified the need to proceed with
the EIR for the portion of the proposed transportation corridor
from Antioch to Brentwood, commonly know as Delta Expressway.
Staff has advised the Steering Committee that, to have a complete
EIR, the field work for a biotic survey will need to begin
immediately so that springtime conditions can be adequately
examined. Otherwise, the project may be delayed up to twelve
months.
The project limits are a 1, 000-foot wide area centered on the
preferred corridor identified in the East County Corridor Study
report, from Antioch to Brentwood, including connections to
existing Vasco Road and to existing State Route 4 south of
Brentwood. The connections to State Route 4 include Balfour
Lane, the East Contra Costa Irrigation District, Payne Avenue,
and Marsh Creek Road.
The Transportation Committee will review this matter on March 8,
1988.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to authorize the execution of a Consulting Services
Agreement will result in a twelve month delay of the field survey
work.
