WHEREAS, the outstanding issues are primarily related to 1) coordinating with Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to resolve utility conflicts; 2) redesigning ADA curb ramps to avoid fire hydrant relocation cost; and 3) design needed on other intersection and storm drain system improvements; and
WHEREAS, the Project is delayed due to the need to design and implement the utility relocation; and
WHEREAS, adding additional funds allows Geosyntec Consultants to provide the needed support through the remainder of the project; and
