SUMMARY: FDO asks that the Board ratify the FDO Director’s signature of an emergency work order for Simpson Environmental in the amount of $264,527 which will allow for completion of asbestos abatement associated with phase one of the PBSO Headquarters Renewal/Replacement project. Bids for this asbestos abatement work were solicited from the qualified contractors under FDO’s Asbestos Abatement Services Annual Contract, but time did not allow for the County’s required advertisement process. The FDO Director has determined that delay in the award of this Work Order would be detrimental to interests, health, safety and welfare of the County. This Work Order is exempt from the EBO Ordinance as an emergency. Funding for this work is from the Public Building Improvement Fund and General Fund. The Asbestos Abatement Services Annual Contract with five contractors was approved on November 15, 2016, under the FDO Director’s authority to execute contracts that do not exceed $200,000. These are five-year indefinite-quantity contracts. FDO asks that the Clerk assign an R-number to each of these annual contracts for ease of tracking and for determining approval thresholds for future work authorizations under Countywide PPM CW-F-050, and that the annual contracts be recognized as Board authorized. Staff asks the Board to approve a maximum cumulative value of $500,000 across all prequalified contractors for all existing and future work to be authorized before the expiration of the Asbestos Abatement Services Annual Contract, which expires on October 31, 2021. Additional Board approval would be required in order to exceed that total cumulative value. (FDO Admin) Countywide (MWJ)
