Staff will prepare a financial analysis as part of the final report on the project. DESCRIPTION: On December 18, 2007, the City Council declared an emergency relative to fire and water damage at the Dublin Civic Center and waived the competitive bid process for necessary environmental remediation and building restoration. A Budget Change in the amount of $100,000 was also approved to cover the cost of the remediation and restoration. The process of reimbursement from the City's insurance carrier has already begun. While it was originally anticipated that all costs for services would be administered by the City, arrangements have been made by the City's insurance carriers to have the remediation contractor bill directly for services rendered. This eliminates the necessity for the declaration of emergency to continue. The contractor has now completed the bulk of the improvements. Stretch wall system replacement has begun; and replacement of blinds along the interior courtyard windows and placement of permanent carpet in the plan check area are the only remaining work. Carpet is expected to be received sometime in June, with a potential placement scheduled for the long weekend of July 4th. It had been hoped that the fabric blinds could be cleaned; however, it has been determined that cleaning is not sufficient to restore the blinds to service, and replacement will be necessary. As of the writing of this report, a replacement schedule has not been determined. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution terminating the emergency action. Staff will return to the City Council with a final report at the conclusion of the work, which is anticipated sometime in August. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPY TO: Page I of I ITEM NO. if. /2. ~ G:\CIP\Civic Clr Fire-Water Damage\agsl 3-4-08 terminate emergency. doc I~\ RESOLUTION NO. - 08 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN ************* APPROVING TERMINATION OF EMERGENCY ALLOWING WAIVER OF COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS AND EMERGENCY CONTRACT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION IN DUBLIN CIVIC CENTER WHEREAS, the Dublin Civic Center sustained fire and water damage on December 18, 2007; and WHEREAS, it was found that several areas of the building were not habitable as workspace, and it is necessary to remediate this condition in order to preserve the well-being of City Staff and to return the building to full operation; and WHEREAS, said remediation was so urgent as to preclude the time normally allotted for solicitation of bids; and WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 224-07, approving a finding of emergency allowing waiver of competitive bid process and emergency contracting for environmental remediation and property restoration in the Civic Center; and; WHEREAS, at each successive City Council meeting thereafter, the City Council received progress reports and adopted resolutions continuing the emergency; and WHEREAS, it has been determined that the need to declare an emergency no longer exists; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin, pursuant to Public Contract Code sections 20168 and 22050, hereby terminates the emergency.
