To. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Contra
Costa
DATE: May 3 , 1988 Cai� ��1�/
SUBJECT: Lease for Health Services Department
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action: AUTHORIZE the Director. of General
Services to EXECUTE, on behalf of the County, a Lease with the
Duffel Financial and Construction Company for the premises at
595 Center Avenue, Martinez, for occupancy by the Health
Services Department, under the terms and conditions more
particularly set forth in said Lease.
DETERMINE that the above project is a Class 27
Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental
Quality Act.
DIRECT the Director of General Services to FILE a Notice
of Exemption with the County Clerk.
II. Financial Impact: Payments required are to come from the
budget of the Health Services Department.
III. Reasons for Recommendations/Background: This lease will
permit the consolidation, in one building, of administrative
units which currently occupy leased space throughout the
Central County area. Through economies of scale and
advantageous lease ' costs at 595 Center, occupancy cost per
square foot will be significantly less than at present. The
cost of this additional space will be offset to a large extent
by the abandonment of existing leases, which either have
already expired or will soon be terminating. Since most of
these existing leases were written some time ago, it is
estimated that rent increases and amortization of required
rehabilitation would result in at least a 25% increase in
occupancy costs if these leases were renewed. Non-costed
benefits of this consolidation include: improved
organizational performance resulting from co-location of most
major administrative units; improved staff morale in moving
from poorly designed and often overcrowded work environments;
and elimination of direct and indirect costs of travel among
the existing multiplicity of administrative locations.
