DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
DATE: May 10, 1994
SUBJECT: CONSULTANT CONTRACT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT FOR THE
SOLANO WAY CLOSURE GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT - COUNTY FILE #10-93-CO
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR. RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve and authorize the Director of Community Development to
execute on behalf of the County a contract with the firm of
Baseline Environmental Consulting in the amount of $160, 458 for the
preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Solano
Way Closure General Plan Amendment proposal in the unincorporated
Concord/Martinez area.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the EIR is borne by the project sponsor, TOSCO
Corporation. In addition to the consultant contract, the cost- of
the EIR to the project sponsor includes a 30% surcharge ($48, 137)
for staff administration services for a total cost of $208 , 595.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
This is a Board-authorized general plan amendment study and the
Community Development Department has determined that an EIR for the
proposed general plan amendment is required by the terms of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) . The CEQA requires the
preparation of an EIR for a proposed project where the project is
subject to a discretionary action by a California 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 project requires discretionary approval
by the Board of Supervisors in the form of a general plan
amendment. Several potentially significant impacts were identified
by the project's Initial Study and by responses to the project's
Notice of Preparation.
