Estimated Project cost: $1,750,000; 100% federal grant funds.
The purpose of this Project is to relocate the existing kitchen and to create a state-of-the-art facility that will allow the program to expand in the future.
The Project consists of renovating a County-owned building that was recently occupied by Children’s Mental Health. Renovations include a seismic retrofit of the entire structure, adding two new exterior doorways for improved egress, and will demo the non-bearing wall partitions and ceilings (T-Bar) in the area to be used as a kitchen. Building out the commercial kitchen will include a new HVAC system, flooring, wall finishes, and equipment. The existing offices and ADA bathrooms in the older portion of the building will be used as an office space in the future and will not be remodeled. The existing utilities to the building are adequate for the new kitchen. It is not anticipated that exterior changes to the building will be needed.
On April 28, 2020, the Board of Supervisors awarded a job order contract (JOC) for repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work to be performed pursuant to the Construction Task Catalog to each of Mark Scott Construction, Inc., Aztec Consultants, MVP Construction, and Staples Construction Company, Inc., each in the amount of $2,500,000. This project is expected to be performed by one of the four JOC contractors. A task order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC contractor to complete this Project. In the event that the Project is not performed by the JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
