FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: April 7, 1992
SUBJECT: Amend Consulting Services Agreement with Woodward Clyde Consultants
Project No.: 0358-6X4120
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute Amendment No. 2 with
Woodward Clyde Consultants for the preparation of the Wetland Mitigation Plan for the State
Route 4 Willow Pass Grade Widening and Lowering Project.
II. Financial Impact:
There will be no impact to the County General Fund. The additional $12,800, will be reimbursed
by the BARTD funds allocated to the State Route 4 Willow Pass Grade project. The contract will
now total $37,070.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In order to expedite the approval and issuance of the Army Corps of Engineers permit and the
Fish and Game permit additional out of scope work was required of the consultant. The issued
permits were required by Caltrans prior to advertising the State Route 4 Willow Pass Grade
Project by March 16, 1992. If the March 16th deadline for advertising was not met,
approximately $16 million in State/Local Partnership funds would have to be forfeited. The
project has to be awarded by June 30, 1992, in order to qualify for the funds.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Should the Board not approve this Amendment, the consultant will not be paid. If the consultant
did not expidite this work, the State Route 4 Willow Pass Grade Lowering Project would have
been delayed until a Wetland Mitigation Plan was approved. This delay would have resulted in
a loss of $16 million to Contra Costa County and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
