HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01202015 - C.31RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Risk Manager to execute a Contract Amendment Agreement with Environmental
and Occupational Risk Management (EORM) effective January 1, 2015 to increase the total payment limit by
$225,080 to a new payment limit of $961,380 due to asbestos, public health concerns and earthquake damage at
County buildings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Additional cost of $225,080 will be paid through the Workers' Compensation Internal Service Fund.
BACKGROUND:
EORM assists in dealing with Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) compliance inspections and
responses of behalf of all County departments. Since the inception of this contract, additional services were needed
due to three major crises that required immediate attention from EORM technical staff for indoor air quality sampling,
remediation analysis and responding to Cal OSHA complaints, which resulted in no penalties. Furthermore, the Loss
Control Assistant Risk Manager (ARM) position became vacant and the EORM consultant who worked closely with
the former ARM was able to step in as interim Loss Control ARM with the high level of technical expertise needed to
fill this position as well as to train the newly hired Safety Services Specialist.
