GENERAL SERVICES - AUTHORIZATION TO ESTABLISH APPROPRIATIONS AND AMEND THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK CONTRACT FOR EAST MESA JUVENILE DETENTION SOFTENING PROJECT (DISTRICT: 1)
Body
OVERVIEW
On May 4, 2021 (30), the Board authorized the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting, for a period of five years, to take any action authorized by Article XXIII, Section 401, et seq. of the Administrative Code and Public Contract Code Section 20146 to advertise and award Construction Manager at Risk contracts for various projects up to $10 million.
On June 13, 2022, after a successful RFP, the County awarded a Construction Manager at Risk Contract (#567080) to Balfour Beatty Construction, LLC. for the East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility - Housing Softening Improvements project. The project was commenced in response to California Senate Bill 823 and includes renovating living spaces at the East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility to be more homelike, trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate, and comfortable. At the time of the procurement and contract award the expected scope of the project was to renovate two housing units and the expected budget for the project was $5.7 million.
The Probation Department now has an opportunity to increase the scope of the project from two housing units to six. This change will impact the budget and will exceed the $10 million authority of the Director, Department of Purchasing and Contracting. It is expected that the new project budget will be approximately $14.5 million.
Today's actions request the Board of Supervisors to establish appropriations of approximately $8.8 million and approve the amendment of construction contract #567080 for the East Mesa Juvenile Detention Facility - Housing Softening Improvement project. If approved, estimated time of construction is expected to begin in December 2022 with estimated completion in April 2024.
