DATE: April 22, 1997 Wuqy
SUBJECT: REPORT FROM WATER COMMITTEE ON CONSULTANT CONTRACTS FOR PHASE III
BALDWIN SHIP CHANNEL/MARINE PIPELINE LINK AND SOUTHAMPTON SHOAL PROJECTS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. AUTHORIZE the Director of the Community Development Department to execute a County contract
with Mike Cheney (Maritime Engineering Consultant), for up to $30,000 for 1997.
2. AUTHORIZE $15,000 of Water Agency funds to be added to the County contract with Mike Cheney
to cover project duties requested by the County. (10,000 was added to this contract in 1996)
3. AUTHORIZE the Director of the Community Development Department to execute a County contract
with E. Del Smith (Lobbyist) for $20,000 for 1997.
FISCAL IMPACT
The $20,000 associated with E. Del Smith's contract, and $20,000 of Mike Cheney's contract are paid by the
Ship Channel Users (the project beneficiaries, or ship channel users are Exxon, Tosco, and Wickland oil
industries). Up to $15,000 for Mike Cheney's contract can be paid by the County Water Agency, to subsidize
the very important additional project engineering component Mr. Cheney provides for the County.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The third phase of the San Francisco-to-Stockton Ship Channel (Baldwin) Project and Marine Pipeline Link is
underway. Much work has been done by the County (local sponsor) and the Corp of Engineers (Lead Agency)
on this project to date. A combined Environmental Impact Statement/Report is being prepared and will be out
later this year. Both ship channel dredging and pipeline transportation alternatives are being considered. There
are a number of issues outstanding with inclusion of the newer, pipeline alternative which are being addressed
at both the local and federal levels. A number of issues remain to be worked out prior to construction of this
project in 1998.
In early 1996 and 1997 the Ship Channel users once again determined the need for continuation of Mike
Cheney's and Del Smith's contracts. Mike Cheney's involvement is becoming increasingly important as a
necessary engineering component for the County, thus necessitating funds by the Water Agency to cover
Mike's additional time on this project.

SCOPE OF CONSULTANT SERVICCEES„FOR JFB CHANNEL
DEEPENING PROJECT
The purpose of the John F.Baldwin(JFB)aba=mel deepening project is to provide improved
access to the refries of Contra Costa and Solano Counties by vessels requiring s channel
depth of-45 it.(mllw).Determination of project feasibility(including compliance with
Federal and State laws,regalations and permit requirentaftX preparation of pre-consRriaction
engineering and design(PID)and construction of the project are being carried out primarily
by the U. S.Army Corps of FASInem(Corps).
The project was authorized by Congress,which directed that the project be carried out by the
Corps in conjunction with a local non-Federal authority or Local Sponsor,in this case,Contra
Costa County(County).By agreement,the Corps and the County each have responsibilities in
. . emeuting the project.Generally,the County's responsibilities include overall project
coordination and administration,attendance at and participation in periodic milestone
conferences,reviewing all Corps project work,snaking any allowable project change's that
would increase project benefits to the County,providing rcicvant project data required by the
Carps,providing and administering agreed upon portions of the work("iniad services")and
project liaison and advocacy.
Because this is a Federal project,it is subject to and dependent upon the Congressional
authorization W annual appropriation process.In practical terms.this means that the Corps
cannot work on the various phases of the project without specific authorization from the
House Transportation and InSastruet m Committee(with concurrence firm the Senate)and
an annual appropriation of the necessary funds from the House Energy and Water
Appropriations Subcommittee(again,with concurra=ftom the Semite). Since there are
many Federal projects with many Local Sponsors and available fimds are insufficient to
service all the proposed and on-going projects,project advocacy in Washington,DC by the
County is vital to the successful conduct and completion of the project.(the Corps is
forbidden from specific project advocacy).'
The County has met its project respos&Rdities by assigning a County Project Coordinator
(Roberta Goulart)and retaining an experi meed local Consulting Engineer(Mike Cheney)and
an wgxnienced Washington lobbyist(Del Smith).The services provided by Smith and Cheney
for the project are listed below.
0=PBQVPED BY CHENEY:
Generally,Cheney works with Goulart and the San Francisco District office of the Corps
(where the project work is actually done),the Corps Division office(which provides project
review and oversight)and the Corps Headquarters staff(which approves the project).Cheriey
also works directly with Smith and the project beneficiaries(oil companies).
