HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 07102012 - C.42RECOMMENDATION(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 fee charged by the County to
$5,000 per month from $10,000 per month, for the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 due to a reduction in
construction activity and commensurate reduction in building inspection services to be 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 twelve 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 2013. 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 July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, and therefore the building inspection services required
from DCD will be 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 increase when full
construction activity on the project resumes, which is anticipated to occur in the summer of 2013.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the proposed contract amendment is not approved, the Department of Conservation and Development will not be
able to adjust fees for this project consistent with the level of service provided.
