HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01062015 - C.43RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Department of Conservation and Development Interim Director, or designee, to
execute a contract amendment with Contra Costa Generating Station, LLC, to temporarily reduce the monthly fee
charged by the County from $76,282.05 to reimbursement on a time and material basis not to exceed $25,000 for the
period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016 due to a delay in construction activity and commensurate reduction in
building inspection services provided by the County during this period, with no change to the payment limit of
$3,150,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact. No activities have occurred on this project in over a year and no revenues were received by DCD in
2014. The applicant anticipates the project will remain on hold for the next 18-24 months. The proposed amendment
would insure the County's actual costs are reimbursed on a time and material basis not to exceed $25,000 and would
resume the fixed monthly fee of $76,282.05, in January of 2017.
BACKGROUND:
In March, 2011, DCD entered into a contract 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 in eastern Contra Costa County regulated under the jurisdiction of the

Subject:Contract Amendment - Oakley Generating Station
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
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
continue to be minimal during the period from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016 and therefore the building
inspection services required from DCD will be minimal as well. The proposed contract amendment would adjust
the payment provision of the contract to be consistent with the level of services DCD will provide to the project
during the period covered by the amendment. The level of services required from DCD, and the fee DCD charges
to CCGS, will increase if 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
