BACKGROUND:

On October 22, 2002, by Resolution No. 65620, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County Manager’s Office to execute an agreement with Turner Construction Company to provide construction management, architectural and engineering services for the San Mateo County Youth Services Center. The County is responsible for changes initiated by the County or caused by unforeseeable circumstances; the trade contractors or Turner are responsible for other costs.

 

DISCUSSION:

This revision order amends Turner’s contract to include the following. 1. General liability and workers compensation insurance are provided by a project specific policy based on $103,000,000 of construction volume. The current construction volume is $122,933,468. The insurance premiums on construction volume over the base policy allowance are paid on this revision order. Additional premiums will be encountered when the construction volume increases. 2. On 10/19/2004, the project suffered damage from a rainstorm. This damage was covered by builders risk insurance. The County has settled with the insurance company and by this revision order will settle monetary damages with Turner. Additional time has been requested, which has not been settled. 3. Design was provided to connect an emergency generator to the Receiving Home at a later date. 4. PG&E required an interrupter switch on the main power service. 5 and 6. Upon demolition of the old crime lab and Crystal Springs Rehabilitation Center, the existing conditions were surveyed and investigated. It was determined that revisions to the proposed grading and electric plans for the Crystal Springs site were required. 7. Payment and Performance Bonds are required on public construction projects and have been issued for this project. The cost of the bonds is subject to negotiations and final resolution has not been reached. The County has determined that its minimum responsibility is $800,000.

 

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project budget is $148,203,000. This project is funded by the sale of lease revenue bonds and a Federal grant. This revision order will amend the contract as follows:
