Barry, AICP Community Development Director DATE: July 17 , 2001 SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATES FOR SUPPLEMENTAL EIR CONTRACT SERVICES (Contract # C47557-00) SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS Authorize the Community Development Director or his designee to execute a contract with Environmental Science Assoc in the amount of$165,380.00 from July 2, 2001 through completion of the project for supplemental EIR services for the Ultramar Clean Fuel Project Phase H. FISCAL IMPACT The cost is covered by revenue received from Ultramar Refinery. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS The Community Development Department is the leading agency for the environmental review of the Ultramar Clean Fuels Project Phase 11. Phase I of the Clean Fuels Project was completed in February 1996. Ultramar (previously Avon Refinery) is now prepared to proceed with Phase H of this project. The original project scope was based on our best understanding of the clean fuels regulations that would likely be implemented over the time period. Since that time, new clean fuels requirements have been promulgated, including the requirements for CARB Phase 3 gasoline. Some changes are needed in the project description to address these new requirements. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION If this contract is not approved the County would not be in compliance with the Hazardous Materials Ordinance and would put at risk the continuing refinery operation.
