Street, Martinez
BACKGROUND:
Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the General Services
Department by Hammel Green and Abrahamson, Inc. ("HGA") and filed with the Clerk of
the Board by the Deputy General Services Director. The construction cost estimate is
$3,200,000. 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.
The New Crisis Residential Facility ("CRF") will provide for a 24-hour residential treatment
program. Such a program is a viable alternative to hospitalization. In addition, the program
will provide a transitional level of care for consumers leaving hospitals but needing further
assistance while re-entering the community. The CRF is planned to be a 6,600 s.f.,
two-story facility that includes space for 16 residents. The facility will also include a living
room, a dining room, kitchen, a library, and administrative and support spaces. Staffing will
include psychiatrists, nurses, clinical specialists, and peer providers (mental health
consumers who have completed required training and are employed by the County) and will
be in compliance with State requirements for staffing ratios. A total of three parking stalls,
including one handicapped-accessible stall, is being added on-site. The site already has
extensive vegetation. Five new trees will be planted as part of the project along with
numerous new groundcover plants and shrubs around the site. Five existing trees will be
removed, including two in poor condition.
On January 19, 2010, the Board previously approved a Negative Declaration for the project
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Department of
Conservation and Development subsequently filed a Notice of Determination and a
Certificate of Fee Exemption De Minimus Impact Finding with the County Clerk.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the authorization to bid is not approved, the project cannot progress into the Construction
Phase, the project may not be built, and patient care will be directed toward the County
Hospital, which is more costly.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
