RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT the final Chevron Richmond Refinery third-party safety evaluation.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No expect fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
After the August 6, 2012 Chevron Richmond Fire where approximately 15,000 people sought medical attention, it was decided that a third-party safety evaluation under the Richmond Industrial Safety Ordinance be performed. An oversight committee was established that consisted of representatives from the Richmond community, United Steel Workers, the Building Trades, the City of Richmond and the County Hazardous Materials Programs. The Oversight Committee worked with County staff in developing the Scope of Work, a Request for Proposal, and selecting a third-party consultant, Process Improvement Institute (PII), to perform the safety evaluation.
