RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a Lease Amendment with Merced BAR, LLC to lease approximately 37,209 rentable square feet of office to amend the existing lease into a three-year lease followed by two renewal terms, each as defined in the lease. The annual rental payment for the first renewal year is $662,040 with an annual increase thereafter, to be occupied by Health Services Department – Whole Person Care Pilot Program, under the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease Amendment.

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the Lease Amendment on behalf of Contra Costa County, and any renewal options thereafter.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Funds

BACKGROUND:

Health Services Department (HSD) has largely maximized the utilization of all the buildings and spaces it currently occupies. HSD needs additional office space for its new Whole Person Care Pilot Program in Central County. The building on Bates Avenue was under an existing lease vacated by Employment and Human Services Department - Covered California Call Center and will provide adequate space for future growth. This lease will also consolidate staff from multiple locations into an adequately sized central facility.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this First Amendment to Lease is not approved, the Health Services Department will continue to operate from multiple locations, will 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.
