RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the County Administration Building Replacement Project (Project) and AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to advertise the Project, Martinez area. [County Project No.WH140F, DCD-CP#17-28] (District V).


DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 15332 (Class 32) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15332 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 Interim 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:

The estimated construction cost is $45,000,000 (100% General Fund).

BACKGROUND:

The project is located at 651 Pine Street, 1139 Escobar Street, and an existing parking lot on the southwest corner of Marina Vista and Pine Street within the City of Martinez.

The purpose of the project is to construct a new County Administration Building to replace the existing building. The County will build the new 72,000 square foot building on County-owned parcels where Pine Street intersects Escobar Street, adjacent to the existing County Admin Building. Following construction of the new building the existing building would be abated, dismantled, and demolished. The project also includes associated sitework and new parking on the site of the existing County Administration building and limited parking at new County Administration Building.

On April 18, 2017, 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 Federal Solutions Group, Aztec Consultants, Mark Scott Construction, Inc. and S.C. Anderson Group International Inc., each in the amount of $2,500,000. Some scope of the project, such as demolition and parking improvements, is expected to be performed by one of the four contractors. A task order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC Contractor to complete this work. In addition, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications/bridging documents and authorization to advertise and solicit bids by design-build entity for the construction of the new County Administration Building.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the CEQA is not approved, the project cannot move forward.
