RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Storm Water Treatment – Escobar Street Parking Lot Project (Project), Martinez area. [County Project No. WH140B, DCD-CP#19-14] (District V).


DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 1(b) 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: $50,000. 100% General Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to provide storm water treatment in support of the new County Administration building in Downtown Martinez. Storm water treatment at the new building site is not feasible due to the slope of the new roadway that is part of that project’s design. Therefore, an existing stand-alone County parking lot on Escobar Street (Assessor’s Parcel Number 373-050-002) was selected as an alternate location to treat storm water. The project consists of installing a new bio-retention feature, landscaping, irrigation, and associated site work.

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 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.
