HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 02042014 - C.32RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract
amendment with Contra Costa Generating Station, LLC, to increase the payment limit by $25,000 to a new payment
limit of $3,150,000 and temporarily reduce the monthly fee charged by the County from $76,282 to negotiated hourly
billing rates for services provided for the interim period January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014 due to a reduction in
construction activity and commensurate 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 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. The overall fees for the project, as a result of
this amendment, may increase by up to a total of $25,000.
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 services for the Oakley Generating Station. The
Oakley Generating Station is a new 624-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant being constructed in eastern Contra
Costa County under the jurisdiction of the California Energy Commission (CEC).

Subject:Contract Amendment - Oakley Generating Station
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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, 2014 to December 31, 2014, 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 increase when full construction
activity on the project resumes.
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
