Background and Discussion:
This professional services agreement for on-call geotechnical, environmental engineering and environmental consulting allows the Flood Control District to request required investigations, engineering, monitoring, regulatory reporting for compliance with environmental rules and regulations associated with Flood Control District operations and maintenance programs. These environmental engineering and consulting services have allowed the Flood Control District to maintain compliance with permitting requirements.

Expected Impact:
The requested agreement will allow the Flood Control District to maintain environmental regulatory compliance for ongoing operations and maintenance programs and continue the mission of flood damage reduction projects without delay. Services will include required environmental investigations, engineering, monitoring, and regulatory reporting services as requested.

Alternative Options:
The alternative to approval of this request is to either submit a request for another consultant, which would delay the effort, or for Flood Control District staff to perform the effort, which would take staff away from other efforts.
