SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION FOR DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT, TO SIGN

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Executive Director, Community
Services Department, to sign and submit an application to Volt
Energy Systems for the 1987 PG&E Direct Weatherization Program
in Contra Costa County.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Award of this contract will result in approximately $1,005, 000
increase in program revenue to the department budget, all of
which has already been incorporated into the 1986-1987 County
Budget, and the proposed 1987-1988 County Budget.
III . CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to submit this proposal with the corresponding Board
Order by the proposal due date of March 18, 1987, will result
in Volt Energy Systems awarding the 1987 Direct Weatherization
contract to someone other than the County. If this happens,
the department will be forced to immediately lay off approxi-
mately 30 permanent, permanent project and temporary employees.
IV. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION:
In March, 1987, the department received from Volt Energy
Systems, the new administrator for the PG&E Direct Weatheriza-
tion Program, a request for proposal for the 1987 Direct
Weatherization Program for Contra Costa County. The Direct
Weatherization Program, which has been operated solely by this
department for the. County of Contra Costa since the program' s
inception in 1983 , provides funding for the weatherization of
homes of low-income/fixed income county residents. For the
program year of 1986, approximately 2, 250 homes in Contra Costa
County were weatherized at no cost to the residents or to the
County. For 1987, the RFP calls for a total of 2 ,075 county
dwellings to be weatherized. The contract process is a compet-
itive one, and the County will be competing with a minimum of
four other weatherization companies in this process.
The deadline for submittal of bids is March 18, 1987, and the
successful contractor( s) will be notified on or about March 27,
1987 . The proposed starting date for the 1987 Direct Weatheri-
zation contract is April 1, 1987.
