FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated Project cost: $500,000; 71% Park Dedication Funds, 29% Transportation for Livable Communities Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this Project is to construct improvements to the Friends of the Library building (APN#425-150-048) and parking area at the El Sobrante Library site.
The Project consists of parking area repairs, repairing the existing foundation of the Friends of the Library Building, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements in both the parking area and the building. Parking area repairs include restriping to create ADA parking and an ADA appropriate path of travel. Other ADA modifications, such as a ramp leading into the Friends of the Library Building, may be installed as needed.
District I Supervisor’s Office has requested renovation of the Friends of the Library Building to meet current safety standards so that the building can be used by community groups to host events.
On November 13, 2018, 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 Staples Construction, Aztec Consultants, Mark Scott Construction Inc., each in the amount of $2,500,000. 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 complete this Project. In the event that the Project is not performed by the JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
