In its current state, part of the first floor of 40 Muir cannot be occupied or utilized by the Department of Conservation and Development or County departments. This project includes design and construction to complete the space so it can be fully utilized as office space. Major components to finish the space include: new partitions, suspended ceilings, doors, flooring, painting, plumbing, HVAC, electrical and tele/data communications.
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. 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 a JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
If the CEQA is not approved, the space cannot be utilized by County Departments.
