DATE: SEPTEMBER 8 1992
SUBJECT: REMODELING AT 40 MUIR ROAD, MARTINEZ, FOR SOCIAL SERVICE
DEPARTMENT (WH360B)
(CP#92-67)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)-&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDATION
FIND that an emergency exists and AUTHORIZE the Director of General
Services to proceed in the most expeditious manner, pursuant to
Public Contract Code Section 20134, to remodel 40 Muir Road,
Martinez, and DECLARE that the project, as an emergency, is
exempted from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act under Section 15269 (c) of the State CEQA guidelines .
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds were borrowed for remodeling this building in the
Certificates of Participation, 1991 County Buildings Acquisition
Project issue.
III . BACKGROUND
A. The approved FY 1992-93 budget for the Social Service
Department required a 30% reduction in net County costs . One
integral component of this reduction was the closure of three
offices and the centralization of General Assistance
Administration. This centralization was to be effective
November 1, 1992 .
B. General Assistance Administration is to be centralized at 40
Muir Road, Martinez . A declaration of emergency is required
to remodel this facility for centralization of General
Assistance Administration as soon as possible, to permit the
continued conduct of County operations and services and to
provide for the safety and security of County staff and the
public.

REMODELING 40 MUIR ROAD, MARTINEZ 250-9159/B.4 . 1
FOR SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT September 8, 1992
C. With this declaration of emergency, the earliest this
remodeling can be completed is mid-December, 1992 . The
normal design, bid, construction process for work of this
nature is estimated to require at least twelve months .
The County Administrator considers such delay
unacceptable. It is possible to bypass the normal
procedures for bidding the project and accomplish the
remodeling project in less time through the provisions of
Section 20134 of the Public Contract Code when the
appropriate findings of an emergency are made by the
Board.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
If there is no declaration of emergency, the necessary
modification at 40 Muir Road will not occur this fiscal year.
The Social Service Department will not be able to achieve
their projected cost savings and the County will face
increased costs for the department and for the 40 Muir Road
facility.
