REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Travis Hopkins, City Manager
VIA: Jennifer Villasenor, Director of Community Development
PREPARED BY: Celeste Coggins, Senior Management Analyst
Subject:
title
Approve and authorize execution of 3-year Professional Services Contracts in the amount of $700,000 for On-Call Environmental California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Services with LSA Associates, Inc. (LSA), Environmental Science Associates (ESA), Environmental Planning Development Solutions (EPD), and Michael Baker International, Inc. (MBI)
body
Statement of Issue:
The Community Development Department requires on-call environmental consulting services for as-needed support in preparing documents for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
Financial Impact:
An appropriation to the general fund will be required when projects requiring CEQA review are confirmed through a task order. Each project will require a matching reimbursement agreement with a project applicant to fund the project at no cost to the City. Occasionally, some City-led projects may use these contracts for CEQA related work. For example, park development requiring CEQA documents may use these contracts; however, funding for the contracts in this situation would be paid out of the Parkland Development fund as collected through development impact fees.
Recommended Action:
