FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund-Facilities Lifecycle Investment Funds

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to maintain, repair, and restore portions of an existing public historical structure in a manner consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, and Reconstructing Historic Buildings.

The Contra Costa County Finance Building at 625 Court Street, Martinez, was identified under the Facilities Lifecycle Improvement Program (FLIP) as a building that requires immediate attention. The project will install a new roof and ornamental sheet metal, seismically upgrade portions of the existing structural system, create new Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliant restrooms, install a new fire sprinkler system, clean and repaint the masonry exterior, replace the main electrical switchgear, and refurbish doors and guard rails.

Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by Carey & Co. Inc. and filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Public Works Director. The construction cost estimate is $7 million, and the general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates paid on this project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this project is not approved and authorized, the building will continue to deteriorate and leak.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
