SUMMARY
On December 6, 2011, the City Council approved an agreement with Infrastructure Engineering Corporation (IEC) to provide consultant services for developing a Wastewater Master Plan Update (Study). On May 28, 2013, the City Council approved the first amendment with IEC to provide additional community outreach services outside of the original scope of work. Additional training and technical support would be needed to provide City staff the skills needed to evaluate modeling of potential new developments as well as further analysis of asset management scenarios. Staff recommends that the IEC agreement be amended to provide this training. The funds are in the present budget and no appropriation of funds is necessary.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the approval of an amendment to an existing agreement is not a "project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because said governmental administrative action will not result in direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060 (c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the waiving of the consultant selection process and the approval of the agreement amendment is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required at this time.
