RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

(3) AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to solicit bids to be received on or about October 22, 2015 and issue bid addenda, as needed, for clarification of the bid documents, provided the involved changes do not significantly increase the construction cost estimate.

(4) DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to publish, at least 14 calendar days before the bid opening date, the Notice to Contractors in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22037, inviting bids for this project.

(5) DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to send notices by email or fax and by U.S. Mail to the construction trade journals specified in Public Contract Code Section 22036 at least 15 calendar days before the bid opening.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Hospital Enterprise Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The main purpose of this project is to expand the Emergency Department (ED) fast track area at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) to help decrease the number of annual patient visits to the ED. Currently, the ED is operating at twice the design capacity.

The project, which involves approximately 5,960 square feet of interior modifications and improvements for fast track and patient triage on the third floor (Emergency and Imaging Departments), will result in reconfiguration of waiting and reception, triage and registration, exam rooms, medication room, radiology reading room, offices and work areas requiring new partitions, suspended ceilings, flooring, painting, casework, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, telephone/data communications, etc. The area of interior improvements is located in the west side of the five-story hospital building.

Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by HDR Architecture, Inc. and have been filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Public Works Director. The construction cost estimate is $3,079,000, 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 Emergency Department at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center will continue to operate at twice the design capacity.
