7) Work with the County Administrator and County Departments to develop priorities and funding strategies for
future facility needs and capital improvements; and
8) Report to the Finance Committee a minimum of every 6 months, or as needed for decision making, on the
status of deferred maintenance project delivery, capital projects delivery, recommendations for addressing the
deferred maintenance backlog, disposing of surplus properties and priorities for capital projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding to manage County facilities comes from department funds and various building funds. Specific funding
has been allocated toward the Facility Life-Cycle Investment Program projects. Costs for real estate,
environmental, legal staff, title reports and recording fees will be funded through proceeds of sales of surplus
properties.
BACKGROUND:
The County has a large deferred maintenance backlog on county facilities. In 2007, an assessment of some county
buildings was done that estimated the 10 year need at that time to be $270 million. The report recommended
project priorities and funding amounts to address these needs. Unfortunately no funds were allocated to the
Facilities Life-Cycle Investment Program (FLIP) until Fiscal Year 2012-13 when $5 million was allocated for
three projects: a sewer replacement at the Byron Boys Ranch, Chillers at the Martinez Detention Facility and
repairs to the Finance Building. The sewer replacement and chillers projects were completed. The Finance
Building is a complex project because it is a historic structure. It is scheduled to start construction in June of this
year. An additional $10 million was allocated towards FLIP in Fiscal Years 2013-14 and 2014-15, and $10 million
is proposed in the Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget. To date $3.4 million has been spent and $9.5 million has been
encumbered. Including the proposed $10 million in next year's budget, this leaves a balance of $22 million to
program towards FLIP projects.
We have just completed and updated the assessment of 81 buildings at 48 sites in 2014. Staff is reviewing the
draft report. The report estimates a total ten year need of $321,285,649 of this $164,401,883 is obligated with
FLIP funds.
Projects and Facilities Maintenance staff are reviewing the recommended priority projects from the assessment
and developing a $22 million program of projects to be funded with Facilities Life-Cycle Investment Program and
a schedule for delivery for approval by the Board of Supervisors.
In order to be efficient in delivering projects we need to employ a variety of project delivery methods. We do
some work with our own staff, but many projects are bid out through using both informal and formal bidding
processes. More complex projects are managed by project managers. We currently do not use Job Order
Contracting and recommend move forward to implement this project delivery tool.
A job order contract is a contract for a fixed term or maximum dollar value, whichever occurs first, in which a
contractor is selected based on a competitive bid to perform various separate job orders in the future, during the
life of the contract. Procurement for job order contracts must still follow the requirements of California Public
Contract Code sections 10500-10506; it is a contract, not a purchase order.
Job order contracts are typically used for well-defined, recurring or repetitive work where quick execution is
essential. It is an appropriate delivery method for any type of repetitive work, especially small renovation jobs. It
allows for a longer relationship with the selected contractor as various job orders issued under the contract are
performed during the contract term. Because the contractor has been selected and the unit price is fixed (by the
project task catalog and the contractor’s adjustment factor), a job order contract allows contractor input prior to
design, which can expedite the work.
Continued funding is needed to address our facility needs. The overall need can be reduced by strategically
reducing our inventory through surplus of facilities that are no longer needed for County business. Project
delivery tools to improve efficiency are essential. Another option to explore is bundling projects for bonding. This
would require a very detailed scope and schedule and project management oversight. The Department will work
with the County Administrator's Office to evaluate whether bonding is an appropriate mechanism to address our
deferred maintenance needs and make a recommendation to the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors.
Preventative maintenance is an important component of managing our facilities. We currently have a very limited
program that includes fire systems as mandated by the state and some mechanical systems as well. We are
recommending a comprehensive preventative maintenance program that includes electrical and plumbing systems
as well as exteriors such as roofs, siding and paint. Costs for preventative maintenance will be monitored and
tracked by building. An effective preventative maintenance program will reduce the need for emergency repairs
and help reduce future deferred maintenance needs.
The County has several underutilized facilities and parcels of vacant land. Work is currently underway to position
our properties in Pleasant Hill (Oak Park and Beatrice) for sale. Staff is working with the City of Pleasant Hill on
a plan for the area that may include a new Pleasant Hill Library. Staff is also working to disengage the County
from the Joint Occupancy Agreements with the Courts.
In addition to these efforts a streamlined evaluation of potential surplus properties is recommended. This will
involve outreach to County Departments to ensure there is not a need for them and developing recommendations
to dispose of the properties to maximize the return on investment.
Understanding the County's long term needs is essential for planning. Public Works has been working with
County Departments in planning for facility needs. We need to develop a facility master plan that defines both
near and long term facility needs and sets priorities and includes funding strategies for implementation.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
None.
CLERK'S ADDENDUM
ACCEPTED the report and APPROVED the recommendations; and DIRECTED that proceeds derived from
surplus property disposal be allocated to the capital facilities fund.
