Title
Consider recommendations regarding the Santa Maria Courthouse Hazard Mitigation Program, Project No. 8518, Fifth Supervisorial District, as follows:
a) Authorize the Chair to execute the attached Amendment No. 1 to the contract with Diani Building Corp., Inc., a local vendor, for the Santa Maria Court Complex Hazard Mitigation Program project in the amount of $35,707.25, for a total amended contract amount of $580,706.25;
b) Re-authorize the Director of General Services, or his designee, to approve additional changes to the contract of an amount not to exceed 10% of the first $250,000.00 of the original contract plus 5% of the remaining contract amount, or $39,750.00 for this contract; and
c) Find that a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section was filed with the County Clerk’s office on November 18, 2009, and that the contract amendment for the previously-approved project is therefore an administrative activity not constituting a “Project” within the meaning of CEQA, as set forth in 14 CCR 15378(b)(2).
