REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Carquinez Scenic Drive—SF Bay Trail project is to provide a paved trail connecting Carquinez
Scenic Trail in Martinez to Port Costa. The project will restore access for pedestrians, bicyclists and provide an
alternate route for emergency and maintenance vehicles. Key elements of this project will include stabilization,
reconstruction, and replacement of cut slopes, embankments, pavements, and drainage facilities.
The Carquinez Scenic Drive — SF Bay Trail project requires environmental assessments and studies pursuant to
Federal and State regulatory guidelines, and is partially funded by the Association of Bay Area Governments
(ABAG).
Pursuant to required funding compliance,Contra Costa County Public Works Department coordinated with ABAG
in conducting outreach and selecting a consultant and determined that LSA is the most qualified consultant to
conduct the necessary work for the project.
LSA shall provide required environmental analysis as described within the contract.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the contract is not approved, necessary environmental clearances will not be obtained, which may jeopardize
funding and cause delays in the construction of the project.
