FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: May 7, 1996
SUBJECT: Approve Consulting Service Agreement with Parikh Consultants, Inc. for Geotechnical
Services for the Cummings Skyway Extension Project.
Project No: . 0662-684062
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to execute the Consulting Services
Agreement with Parikh Consultants Inc. to provide a geotechnical site analysis and recommenda-
tions for the above-referenced project.
II. Financial Impact:
The estimated contract cost is $80,000 funded by the Unocal Clean Fuels Project Mitigation Fund
(100%).
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Cummings Skyway is a two-lane roadway in western Contra Costa County that extends from
State Route 4 northerly to Interstate 80. The proposed project will extend Cummings Skyway
from its terminus on the west side of Interstate 80 to San Pablo Avenue (Old Highway 40) in the
Crockett area. The extension of the roadway would reduce truck traffic on Parker Avenue in
Rodeo and San Pablo Avenue in Crockett and would serve as an entrance to Crockett from
Interstate 80.
The services of a consultant are needed to provide field investigations, laboratory tests, and
conclusions and recommendations regarding soils characteristics related to the construction of
the Cummings Skyway Extension. Parikh Consultants, Inc. was selected from a group of several
firms solicited to provide these services.
Parikh Consultants, Inc. is an MBE firm and have declared their intent to meet the County's WBE
goals through the use of subconsultants.
