RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a lease with 777 Arnold, LLC, to lease approximately 10,948 rentable square feet of office and warehouse space to be occupied by the County’s Health Services Department - Emergency Medical Services. The term of this lease is 12 years with two five-year renewal terms. The annual rental payment for the first year is $178,920 with annual increases thereafter, under the terms and conditions set forth in the lease.


AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the lease on behalf of Contra Costa County, and any renewal options under the terms and conditions set forth in the lease.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Emergency Medical Services fines and fees collected and Measure H funds will be utilized to fund the occupancy costs.

BACKGROUND:

The current space that Health Services Department - Emergency Medical Services (EMS) occupies is inadequate to support its operation and has largely maximized the utilization of the building and space. EMS needs additional office space for its operation in Central County. The new lease on Arnold Drive will drastically improve EMS operation with the integration of proper communication systems, multipurpose room for training and space for growth for future staff. 777 Arnold, LLC (Lessor) is responsible for constructing the tenant improvements in the premises for the County. Lessor is also providing the County with a $218,960 allowance for tenant improvements. The County is responsible for the cost of tenant improvements in excess of that amount.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this lease is not approved, the Health Services Department will continue to operate from multiple locations, and not be able to hire staff to support the growth funded by the grants, and the County will incur additional expenses in finding a new location.
