BY:	, Deputy

RECOMMENDATION(S):

RATIFY the execution of license agreement with MERCED BAR, LLC, for the use of a portion of the parking lot of the property located at 2500 Bates Avenue in Concord for the purpose of a drive-thru COVID-19 testing site for the public, beginning March 15, 2021, at a rate of $10 per month.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action is funded by 100% Federal and State emergency funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County has leased the a portion of the property at 2500 Bates Avenue on behalf of the Health Services Departments since February 28, 2017, under which the County is leasing from Licensor approximately 37,209 square feet of floor space along with 263 parking spaces in the adjacent parking area. County has will be using another portion of the parking lot at the property and the adjacent parcel of land owned by Licensor for purposes of drive-thru COVID-19 testing.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County’s Health Officer has determined that accessible, timely testing and vaccination is critical to reduce transmission of the virus and to protect the community.

The County has activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and several Department Operations Centers (DOC) to assist in the response to the pandemic. Those operations centers are the hub for procurement and distribution of services and equipment necessary to respond to the emergency. In support of this, the County Administrator, in his capacity of Administrator of Emergency Services (County Code Section 42-2.602) issued an emergency blanket purchase order in the amount of $20 million on Friday, March 20, 2020 for the procurement of services and supplies necessary to facilitate the COVID-19 response within the County. The Board of Supervisors subsequently ratified the County Administrator's action on March 31, 2020. Similarly, the County Administrator has entered into several agreements, including service contracts, license agreements and leases to support the activities responding to COVID-19. The first set of such contracts was ratified by the Board on April 14, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.22). The second set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on April 28, 2020. The third set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 12, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.60). The fourth set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on June 2, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.28). The fifth set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 11, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C.49). The sixth set was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 8, 2020 (Agenda Item No. C108).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not ratifying the emergency actions taken in response to the COVID-19 emergency to continue with this drive-thru testing site in Concord would result in the drive-thru site being discontinued.
