SUMMARY:
See Attachment A for Summary of Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with EcoSystems West Consulting Group and Reimbursement Agreement (RA) with The Pebble Beach Company.
 
DISCUSSION:
In 2006, the County identified a need for EcoSystems West Consulting Group to provide annual Piperia Plan Studies and CEQA review for The Pebble Beach Company's Del Monte Forest Preservation and Development Plan.  Since, and on an annual basis, PSAs with EcoSystems West Consulting Group and RAs with The Pebble Beach Company were approved by the Board of Supervisors (BOS) for these services for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.  In 2010, the County determined that future annual Piperia Plan Studies and CEQA review could be amended into the 2009 BOS approved PSA and RA.
 
Amendment No. 6 to PSA No. A-11684 and Amendment No. 6 to RA No. A-11411 will provide reimbursement for rendered services associated with the completion of 2013 Piperia Plan Studies, and to provide 2014 Piperia Plan Studies for the management, protection and restoration of Yadon's Piperia for The Pebble Beach Company's Del Monte Forest Preservation and Development Plan.  Amendment No. 6 to the PSA will increase the amount by $57,820 for a total amount not to exceed $171,949 and extend the term to June 30, 2016.  Amendment No. 6 to the RA will increase the amount by $57,820 with no increase to the Surcharge budget of $2,500, for a total amount not to exceed $174,449, and extend the term to June 30, 2016.
