TO: Mayor and Town Council February 4, 2025
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 6-2025, authorizing an amended professional services
agreement for engineering services for Diablo Road Pedestrian Trail
Project C-055
BACKGROUND
The Town’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the Diablo Road Trail from
Alameda Diablo to Tank Access Road, CIP Project C-055. This project consists of the
construction of a paved 0.9-mile Class I pedestrian/bicycle path located adjacent to the
south side of Diablo Road from Fairway Drive to the west of the tank access road (1,200
feet west of Mt. Diablo Scenic/Blackhawk intersection) to the east.
The environmental assessment and preliminary design phases of the Diablo Road Trail
have been successfully completed. In Spring 2023, the Town submitted applications for
environmental permits to both state and regional regulatory agencies, such as the
California Department of Fish & Wildlife (CDFW) and Regional Water Quality Control
Board (RWQCB).
To advance the project expeditiously, it has become necessary to engage an engineering
design firm with the expertise available to re-survey the affected area, update the design
of the trail’s retaining wall system to accommodate the creek bank erosion and develop
a detailed response that addresses CDFW concerns.
ENGEO, Inc. was previously contracted to complete a geohazard analysis and structural
design associated with the retaining walls required to complete the western portion of
the trail. The Town extends ENGEO, Inc. services to assist in completing the remaining
civil engineering design and environmental mitigation plan, finalizing the California
Department of Fish & Wildlife and Regional Water Quality Control Board permits, and
production of the construction bid documents.
The preliminary design of the new trail segment component is complete and is currently
in the environmental review phase. In preparation for the bidding and construction of
the trail project, there are trees within the trail alignment that must be removed before
the start of protected birds nesting period and before the project will be ready to bid.

DISCUSSION
ENGEO, Inc. has been providing professional services to the Town for this project. To
proceed with tree removal along Diablo Road, and to complete the proposed trail
improvements design, it will be necessary to revise the scope of work for the project.
The revised scope of work will include required contractor training, pre-construction
surveys and biological monitoring in conformance with the project Lake and Streambed
Alteration Agreement (LSAA) for the tree removal contract. Additionally, the consultant
will prepare information describing the geotechnical constraints for ADA compliance
and final wall plans that will provide value engineering to several sections of the walls
to maximum extent possible.
ENGEO, Inc. has been providing professional services to the Town for this project. The
cost to revise the professional services agreement is $107,950.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Posting of the meeting agenda serves as notice to the general public.
FISCAL IMPACT
The amount for the amended professional services agreement is $107,950. An additional
10% design contingency in the amount of $10,795 will be reserved for a total design
budget of $118,745. Sufficient funds have been appropriated in the Town’s 2024-2025
Capital Improvement Program to cover the cost of revised professional services.
