RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The estimated construction cost is $35,000,000. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

The Project is located within the City of Martinez. The purpose of the Project is to construct a new Emergency Operations Center/Public Safety Building, located on the Southwest corner of Muir Road and Glacier Road adjacent to the existing Emergency Operations Center. The project includes the full or partial removal of five existing buildings, relocation of two modular buildings, relocation of four prefabricated bus shelters, and the construction of approximately 37,800 square feet of new uses, including a new EOC building, Sheriff/Public Safety building and lecture hall for press events. The project will also modify site access and parking, including a new Sheriff's parking lot on the west portion of the site and a new public parking lot along the north edge of the site. These new parking areas will access the public roadway network from two new driveways on Muir Road. The site will have other associated improvements such as pedestrian sidewalks, landscaping and lighting. On April 18, 2017, 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 Federal Solutions Group, Aztec Consultants, Mark Scott Construction, Inc., and S.C. Anderson Group International Inc., each in the amount of $2,500,000. Certain portions of the project, such as demolition, related parking and site work improvements, is expected to be performed by one of the four contractors. A task order catalog has been prepared for the JOC Contractor to complete this work. In addition, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications/bridging documents and authorization to advertise and solicit bids by design-build entity for the construction of the new Emergency Operations Center/Public Safety Building.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without Board approval, the Project cannot move forward.
