RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Contract Extension Agreement #72-054-2 with Process Improvement Institute, Inc., a corporation, to extend the term from July 31, 2015 through January 31, 2016, to continue to provide consulting and technical assistance with regard to a Safety Evaluation Report of the Chevron Richmond Refinery.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None, there is no change in the Contract Payment Limit of $876,600. This Contract is funded 100% by Chevron.

BACKGROUND:

On August 13, 2013, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #72-054 (as amended by Contract Amendment #72-054-1) with Process Improvement Institute Inc., to provide consulting and technical assistance with regard to a Safety Evaluation Report of the Chevron Richmond Refinery including working with the County’s Oversight Committee, Refinery Management and the Union Safety Committee, which included collecting, organizing, analyzing, and reviewing data to evaluate the current state of safety; provide a draft report for public comment; submit the final report to Hazardous Materials Director; conduct a presentation of final report at City and County meetings; and review and comment on Refinery’s action plan, through July 31, 2015.
Due to the initial evaluation taking longer than expected, the timeline to complete the report has been delayed. Approval of Contract Extension Agreement #72-054-2 will allow the Contractor to continue providing services and complete the report by January 31, 2016, with no change in the original Payment Limit. This contract includes the County agreeing to mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this extension is not approved, Contractor will not be able to complete the safety evaluation report of Chevron Refinery.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
