SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)S BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
CCIMI1IF;NDAILQI�fSJ:
1. FIND and DECLARE based on the evidence set forth below and pursuant to Public Contract
Code sections 22035 and 22050, that an emergency exists and that the emergency will not permit
a delay resulting from a competitive solicitation for bids, and DELEGATE to the County
Administrator or designee the authority to proceed in the most expedition manner to complete the
project.
2. APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or his designee to enter into construction
and consulting services agreements for project execution without the need for competitive
solicitations for bids or additional Board Approval.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total estimated project cost is between $75,000 and $100,000 inclusive of construction,
management, permit, and inpection fees.
BACKGROUND:
The scope of this project includes repairing a fire damaged protective enclosure for the hospital's
emergency generator exhaust shaft. The fire damage was discovered during minor construction
modifications to the two-hour rated gypsum board shaft. These initial modifications were supposed
to alleviate overheating in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The ICU floor, which is immediately above
mechanical spaces, became hot whenever the maintenance crews ran the generator for extended
periods of time. State regulations require testing the emergency generator for at bast one half hour
each month. As the contractor prepared to install a ventilation port for the shaft, he discovered
evidence of a smoldering fire within the shaft. This fire destroyed the shaft's integrity and
compromises the fire separation between mechanical spaces and hospital operating units, including
the ICU.

CONSEQUENCE i OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The fire seriously damaged the protective properties of the emergency generator exhaust shaft. This
condition, if left un-repaired for an extended time period, may damage the ICU floor and impede
efficient hospital operations. Atkinson Construction, the contractor hired to make the initial shaft
modifications, is on site and prepared to proceed with an expanded work scrape. The Mete regulatory
agency, OSHPD, approved e preliminary corrective action plan.
