RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Martinez Animal Shelter Parking Lot and Play Area Expansion Project (Project), unincorporated Vine Hill area. [County Project No. WW0906, PD250-17014, DCD-CP#17-43] (District V).


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

BACKGROUND:

The Public Works Department of Contra Costa County (County) is proposing to develop a vacant lot with additional parking and a dog play area to accommodate overflow visitors and improve pedestrian safety and congestion at the existing Martinez Animal Shelter. The project would develop the vacant site at the corner of Imhoff Drive and Blum Road, with a landscaped dog play area featuring a shade area, landscaping, artificial turf, fencing, entry corral, and safety lighting. A new dog path along the north side of the site would provide a safe connection from the existing dog play area to the new dog play area. The project would also include the development of a new parking area. The new parking area would accommodate 23 vehicles and connect to the existing parking lot at the east side of the site. Access to the new parking area would continue from Imhoff Place.

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 each of 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.
