DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to publish the Notice RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D) to Contractors in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22037, inviting bids for this project. FISCAL IMPACT: No General Funds are involved. The construction of the New Parking Lot ‘E’ will be provided by a combination of Federal and State funding, contained within the Contra Costa Regional Medical Enterprise 1 Capital Budget. BACKGROUND: Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the General Services Department by International Parking Design, Inc. and filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Deputy General Services Director. The construction cost estimate is $400,000. The general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates paid on this project. For years, the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center campus has experienced on-going parking shortages for visitors and patients. A new surface Parking Lot 'E' is planned on the site adjacent to existing Parking Lot ‘B’ near the hospital building. New Parking Lot ‘E’ (46,760 s.f) will provide eighty new visitor parking stalls, including five ADA spaces. The site was previously occupied by two deteriorated buildings, which have been demolished. The project site and surrounding area is on County-owned property. Forty new trees will be planted as part of the landscaping throughout the parking area. Eleven existing trees will be removed, including three that were found to be in poor condition. On May 26, 2011, the Department of Conservation and Development determined that the Project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per Section 15311, Class 11b, of the CEQA Guidelines. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Without the new parking lot, visitors and patients will continue to have difficulty finding parking at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
