The boiler and domestic hot water systems at the Martinez Detention Facility, 1000 Ward Street, are in need of replacement due to age and condition. The existing systems will be replaced with new efficient units to lower energy costs and to comply with the emission requirements of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
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. 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 perform the Project. 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.
If the project is not approved, the existing systems will continue to deteriorate and will result in costly repairs in the future and the Public Works Department will have to return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
