The project itself is estimated to cost $400,000, plus soft costs. (100% General Fund).
The new modular office building will replace the existing deteriorated and mold-infested modular office buildings, which have now been removed from the site. Staff has been moved into a temporary leased facility in Antioch. Purchase of the modular office building through the use of the Los Lomitas School District’s bid will expedite the building fabrication and installation process. Site work will be provided under a separate contract and will be completed while the modular office building is being fabricated.
On November 10, 2015, 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 Sea Pac Engineering, Inc., John F. Otto, Inc., and Mark Scott Construction, each in the amount of $2,000,000. On September 20, 2016, the Board approved a change order to increase the contract amount to $4,500,000 for both John F. Otto, Inc., and Mark Scott Construction. This project is expected to be performed by one of the three JOC contractors. A task order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC Contractor to perform the Project site work and building hook-ups. In the event that it is not performed by a JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will go to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
The existing building does not have the capacity for the On the Job Training (OJT) program. The OJT program trains staff to perform operations located in the 1650 Cavallo building. Having trainees adjacent to their future positions is most effective and will avoid long term lease expenses.
