FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund – Facilities Life-Cycle Investment Program

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to upgrade aging mechanical roof top equipment, accessibility, and fire life safety on approximately (5) building facilities at the Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility, 4491 Bixler Road, Byron.

As part of the Facilities Life-Cycle Investment Program (FLIP), the Project consists of upgrading the aging roof top equipment, including HVAC units as necessary, performing Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant upgrades/modifications to the existing accessibility and fire life safety, including automatic fire sprinkler and fire alarm upgrades, replacing exit signs with LED lighting, and seismic shutoffs for the gas main.

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. The ADA and fire life safety upgrades portion of the 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 improvements. 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 roof top equipment portion of the Project will be completed by the Public Works Department, Facilities Services Division.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Project is not approved, the roof top equipment will continue to deteriorate, resulting in more costly repairs in the future, and necessary ADA and fire life safety upgrades will not be completed.
