RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Remodeling for the Public Defender Juvenile Unit, 2020 North Broadway Project (Project), Walnut Creek area. [County Project No. 280-1801, DCD-CP#18-20, WH218D] (District IV).


DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1(a) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines, and

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $1,091,000. 100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to reconfigure and remodel the 2nd floor of the building located at 2020 North Broadway in Walnut Creek to relocate the County’s Juvenile Unit. The project would remove existing walls within suites 204, 204A, and 207A on the 2nd floor of the building in order to provide the necessary number of offices for attorney and support staff. The project would also add an ADA-accessible restroom and drinking fountain to the 2nd floor. The office space is currently vacant and the County Administrator’s Office previously approved the relocation of the Juvenile Unit. The project will not impact emergency access onto the site and no real property transactions, including right-of-way acquisition will be necessary in support of this project.

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 each of Mark Scott Construction, Inc., Aztec Consultants, and Staples Construction Company, 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.
