HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01242012 - C.15RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to
execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Generating Station, LLC, to temporarily
reduce the the monthly fee charged by the County to $10,000 from $76,282.05 for the
period January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 due to a reduction in constuction activity and
comensurate reduction in building inspection services provided by the County during this
period.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed contract amendment will result in a reduction in workload and revenue for the
Building Inspection Division during the six month period of the amendment. However, it is
anticipated that revenues from this project will increase when full construction activity on
this project resumes in the summer of 2012. The overall fees for the project, as a result of
this amendment, may increase by up to a total of $60,000.
BACKGROUND:
In March, 2011, the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) entered into a
contact with Contra Costa Generating Station (CCGS), LLC, to provide building inspection

Subject:Contract Amendment - Oakley Generating Station
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
services for the Oakley Generating Station. The Oakley Generating Station is new
624-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant being constructed in eastern Contra Costa
County under the jurisdiction of the California Energy Commission (CEC). The CEC has
delegated authority to the County to enforce building code regulations.
DCD has been informed by CCGS that construction activity on the Oakley Generating
Station will substantially decrease during the period from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012,
and therefore the building inspection services required from DCD will be substantially
reduced as well. The proposed contract amendment would adjust the monthly fee DCD
charges CCGS to be consistent with the level of services DCD will provide to the project
during the period covered by the amendment. The level of service required from DCD, and
the fee DCD charges to CCGS, will return to it present level when full constuction activity
on the project resumes in the summer of 2012.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the proposed contract amendment is not approved, DCD will not be able to adjust fees for
this project consistent with the level of service provided.
