(3) AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to solicit bids to be received on or about January 12, 2017, and issue bid addenda, as needed, for clarification of the bid documents, provided the involved changes do not significantly increase the construction cost estimate.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of the project is to renovate the District Attorney’s Office, which is in need of additional office space. The 3rd floor law library will be converted into office space for law clerks and the 4th floor patio will be converted into cubicle offices. Currently, there is one shower and locker room for both sexes. A portion of the 1st floor copy room will be converted to provide an additional shower and locker room.

Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by Kava Massih Architects. The construction cost estimate is $710,000 and the general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates paid on this project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the project is not approved, the facility will be unable to meet the needs of existing staff.
