Contra Costa County Fire Protection District '
County
DATE: JlfnG'22, 2004
SUBJECT:
Weed Abatement Contracts Extension
SPECIFIC REQUEST($)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, to execute a contract extension with
Randy Bodhaine and H & N Enterprises for the continuation of weed abatement services within the Contra
Costa County Fire Protection District through December 31, 2004 after receipt and review of required bonds,
certificates of insurance and other required documents. The contract extension will equate to$137,740.89 and
is budgeted.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Weed abatement contracts with Randy Bodhaine and H & N Enterprises terminated on December 31, 2003.
These contracts are for the purpose of exterior fire hazard control by discing, mowing, rubbish and tree removal.
There currently is not sufficient time to bid the weed abatement contracts and put them in place before
conditions become critical. Prevalent weather conditions, dry grass and weeds and piles of combustible
rubbish, collectively present an extreme threat of fire to the residents of Contra Costa County. It is essential that
the Fire Districthave the ability to abate these hazards in accordance with Contra Costa County Ordinance
2002-32 when the owner fails to do so in order to reduce the potential for a catastrophic wildland fire from
occurring.
In accordance with provisions of Contra Costa County Ordinance 2002-32, the Fire District contacted Randy
Bodhaine and H & N Enterprises who have agreed to extend the 2001-2003 contract for one additional year with
minor modifications.
The Fire Chief is being authorized to sign the contracts after the contractors have signed the contracts and
returned them, together with the required bonds, certificates of insurance and other required documents, and the
District staff has reviewed and found them to be sufficient. Pursuant to Public Contracts Code Section 4114, the
Board DELEGATES its functions under Public Contracts Code Section 4107 and 4110 to the Fire Chief or his
designee.
