Powers Authority (JPA) Agreement - In 1979, 29 California counties formed the CSAC-EIA to find
cost-effective insurance solutions and risk management services for members. Over the years,
other California counties, cities, school districts, and special districts have joined the CSAC-EIA
including Butte County. In recent years, agencies outside of California have also joined. CSAC-EIA
is not affiliated with California State Association of Counties (CSAC). To avoid the confusion, CSAC
has requested that CSAC-EIA change its name. The member agencies of CSAC-EIA agreed to
change the name of the JPA to Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management, otherwise
known as PRISM. The amendment to the JPA agreement changes the name of the organization.
County Counsel and County Administration have reviewed the proposed amendments and

Towing is the County's sole company for the AVA Program. The number of vehicles abated by
the AVA Program in the County has increased, and an increase to the contract with ABC Nick's
Pioneer Towing is necessary for the volume of additional tows. The Department of Development
Services recommends the Board of Supervisors amend the contract with ABC Nick's Pioneer
Towing to increase the maximum payable amount by $100,000, not -to -exceed $200,000. All

an Events Facility on Cana Highway — The Williamson Act Advisory Committee reviewed Minor
Use Permit MUP19-0006 (Masonek) on March 2, 2020 and found it will not impair the use of the
property for agriculture (walnut orchard and production) and is consistent with the Williamson

Williamson Act. The Committee's finding includes a recommended condition to include an
agricultural disclosure statement as part of the facility rental agreement. The Minor Use Permit
allows for an events facility, which includes weddings. The parcel is approximately 36.1 acres
size. The proposed events facility would constitute 0.75 acres, which is approximately 2% of the
parcel. The property is currently in use as a walnut orchard and is developed with 2 dwellings,

pool, and a shed). The second dwelling is approved as an agricultural worker dwelling. Parking is

the Department of Employment and Social Services. Payment is made on an actual cost basis for

clerical error it made in filling out its bid proposal and it has been determined that the error is a
minor irregularity which is immaterial and should be waived. This project was advertised and

Improvement Program (HSIP) and further the goals of the HSIP program to reduce fatal and
serious injury traffic collisions. The project will develop a safety plan to incorporate and guide
decisions on HSIP projects within future grant applications, and will help supplement the project
goals and define threshold triggers that will activate responses to minimize those fatal and
serious injuries. Although this plan is not required for the upcoming HSIP Cycle X grant
applications in 2020, the plan will be a requirement in the HSIP Cycle XI grant application in 2022.

not -to -exceed $140,000 — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR

3.29 Contract with Quincy Engineering for Design Services on the 2019 Dark Canyon Storm Damage —
The Department of Public Works recently issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to establish
a list of firms to provide engineering design services for the analysis and repair of the 2019 Dark
Canyon Storm Damage sites. The RFQ process established a list of six firms with the necessary
qualifications to perform this type of work. The proposals were reviewed and scored by
Department staff and ranked as to the ability and expertise to perform the work. Quincy
Engineering from Rancho Cordova was ranked the highest and selected to submit a scope and
budget to perform the work. The scope of services for this contract includes engineering
surveying, geotechnical analysis, environmental clearances and permitting, design, cost
estimates, and other services as necessary for the 2019 Dark Canyon Road Storm Damage Repair
Project. The term of the contract is three years from the date of execution, not -to -exceed

3.30 Contract Amendment with Gallaway Enterprises for Bat and Bird Exclusionary Measures Related
to the Midway Bridge Replacement — On February 6, 2020, the Department of Public Works
entered into a contract with Gallaway Enterprises to provide bat and bird exclusionary measures
on the Midway Bridge crossing Butte Creek which will be replaced this summer. These measures
are critical, as establishment of bat and/or bird nests underneath this structure could render it
"off limits" to construction activities this year. The initial contract amount was established at
$24,229. The scope of the contract provided for intermittent monitoring and removal of partially
constructed swallow nests, on a time and materials basis, until this responsibility could be passed
to the Bridge Contractor. Staff had initially planned to have a contractor on board by May 1,
2020. Unfortunately, authorization to advertise for bids for the bridge replacement was not
received in time to meet the planned construction start date. Additionally, the structure has
experienced a significant increase in the volume of swallows attempting to nest underneath the
bridge. This has required the consultants to visit the site daily to clear the partially constructed
nests and increased the costs to keep the bridge structure "ready for construction". The
Department recommends amending the contract with Gallaway Enterprises for bat and bird
exclusionary measures on the Midway Bridge crossing Butte Creek. This amendment increases
the maximum amount payable by $24,480, not -to -exceed $48,709. All other contract terms
remain the same — action requested — APPROVE CONTRACT AMENDMENT AND AUTHORIZE THE
CHAIR TO SIGN. (Public Works)

Office currently contracts with KW Smith for transportation of remains to and from Sacramento
County Coroner facilities and mortuaries. Costs related to transportation services have exceeded
original estimates and the maximum amount payable under the contract needs to be increased.
The Sheriff's Office recommends amending the contract with KW Smith for mortuary
transportation services. The amendment increases the maximum payable amount by $90,000,
not -to -exceed $144,999. All other terms remain the same — action requested — APPROVE
