RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Abatement Contract Agreement with Sterling Environmental Corporation, to increase the payment limit by $165,499 to a new payment limit of $377,619 to provide additional abatement services for the former Pleasant Hill Library, located at 1750 Oak Park Boulevard and 75 Santa Barbara Road, Pleasant Hill. (Project No. 0928-WH113B)

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund. The costs incurred by the County under this contract will be paid from the County’s General fund. Proceeds from the sale of the property located at 1750 Oak Park Blvd. will be used to reimburse the General fund.

BACKGROUND:

In order to proceed with the sale of the former Pleasant Hill Library (Property) the County must demolish the improvements on the Property. Before demolition can occur, the existing building must be abated to remove all hazardous materials.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 16, 2020, the Board of Supervisors approved an abatement contract with Sterling Environmental Corporation in the amount of $212,120, for the removal and abatement of hazardous materials. During the abatement work, additional hazardous materials of Thermal System Insulation and Polychlorinated Biphenyl were located throughout the building. The cost of the additional abatement work not specified in the original abatement contract is $165,499.00. A new payment limit amount of $377,619 is now required in order for Sterling Environmental Corporation to complete additional abatement services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the amendment to the contract is not approved, there will be a delay in the abatement of the existing buildings which could impact the anticipated sale of the Property.
