RECOMMENDATION(S):

(1) APPROVE the design and bid documents, including the plans and specifications, for the replacement of two (2) aging outdoor generators and associated two (2) automatic transfer switches with in-kind units. The existing chain link fence enclosure will also be replaced and existing concrete pad extended at 1960 and 1980 Muir Road, Martinez; and


(2) AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to solicit bids to be received on or about January 20, 2022, and issue bid addenda, as needed, for clarification of the bid documents, provided the involved changes do not significantly increase the construction cost estimate; and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

(3) DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to publish, at least 14 calendar days before the bid opening date, the Notice to Contractors in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22037, inviting bids for this project.

(4) DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to send notices by mail or fax and by U.S. Mail to the construction trade journals specified in Public Contract Code Section 22036 at least 15 calendar days before the bid opening.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Budget for this project is from Org# 3623 (Power Resilience Allocation Funds through California Governor's Office of Emergency Services - Cal OES).

BACKGROUND:

The Generator Replacement Project is located at the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office in Martinez, California. These buildings occupy critical services to the citizens of Contra Costa County that include the Sheriff's Patrol Division, Investigations Unit, SWAT Team, Crime Suppression Unit, Homicide, and the Coroner's Office. The project consist of the replacement of the two (2) existing aging outdoor generators that are no longer reliable nor energy-efficient and their associated two (2) automatic transfer switches. The equipment will be replaced with in-kind modern units which will provide the assurance of having safe, reliable, and energy-efficient back-up power for the county buildings located at 1960 and 1980 Muir Road.

The existing generator chain link fence enclosure will also be replaced, and concrete pad extended. To avoid any disruption to both facilities, two (2) portable generators will also be included as back-ups during the project duration.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the advertisement is not approved, the project will not be constructed, losing the Power Resilience Allocation funds received through Cal OES by the Sheriff’s department, and also losing the assurance of having safe, reliable and energy-efficient backup power for decades to come.
