RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development (DCD) Director, or designee, to execute an agreement with NRG Marsh Landing LLC for County staff to provide building inspection services at hourly rates specified in the agreement not to exceed a total payment limit of $100,000. The term will be from the Agreement's effective date, October 24, 2017, until both of the following occur: (a) the County's completion of all of its obligations to the California Energy Commission (CEC) under the Designation Letter, and any amendments thereto issued during the Term, and (b) NRG Marsh Landing LLC's full payment of all County fees for Chief Building Official (CBO) Activities (defined in Section 2) that the County performs under this Agreement.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None. NRG Marsh Landing LLC will pay fees to County for building inspection services provided by County staff.

BACKGROUND:

The CEC has requested the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to provide building inspection services to NRG Marsh Landing LLC for modifications to the fire suppression system, which will include installation of a new fire pump and piping to support a new location for water storage. The modification project will include construction of a 625-square foot building to house the fire suppression system. DCD has provided similar work on other power plants and has previously acted as the delegate Chief Building Official (CBO) under the CEC's regulatory authority for large power generating facilities. NRG Marsh Landing LLC is the owner of this facility and will compensate DCD for its services. This agreement between NRG Marsh Landing LLC and County is needed so that DCD can proceed to provide services. This agreement includes County billing rates that fully cover DCD's costs of providing such services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the proposed agreement is not approved, DCD will not be able to provide the requested building inspection services.
