STATEMENT OF ISSUE: DCD is requesting the Board sign two Contract Amendments to
complete the process of drafting an SEIS for the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort.

ANALYSISiSTRATEGIC GOALS/PROS and CONS:
Ordinance No. 01-0128-08 approved by the BoCC January 28,2008 necessitated the completion
of an SEIS for the Pleasant Harbor Master Planned Resort as required for project level SEPA
analysis pursuant to RCW43.2lC. Staff initiated a search for a consultant to draft the SEIS in
July,20l2, selecting EA Blumen (Now EA Engineering) of Seattle. Contracts for EA
Engineering to draft the SEIS and for the Applicant, Pleasant Harbor Marina & Golf Resort, LLC
to pay for the drafting and preparation of the SEIS were completed and signed by the BoCC on
February 11,2013. The contracts stipulate that the Consultant get written approval from the
Applicant for any cost overruns that may occur (section V of original contract) and that they may
re-negotiate the contract with the County (section X of original contract). The attachment
"Pleasant Harbor Proposed Contract Amendment and Agreement" is the written agreement
between the Applicant and Consultant regarding the cost overruns and the reasons for the
Amendments. Based on this agreement, staff prepared the necessary Contract Amendments for
signing. These Amendments are necessary to complete the SEIS as part of the regulatory review
process.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The Agreement for an Applicant to Pay for Preparation of an SEIS is known as a "pass-through"
Contract whereby the Consultant bills the County, the County bills the Applicant, the Applicant
I
pays the County and the County pays the Consultant. Staff time to process the contracts and
manage the project are billed to the Applicant on an hourly basis. There is no direct cost to the
County.
RECOMMENDATION:
DCD recommends the Board of County Commissioners:
l. Sign the Amendment #1 to Professional Services Agreement for Preparation of an SEIS.
2. Sign the Amendment #1 to Agreement for an Applicant to Pay for Preparation of an SEIS
