Title
Acting as the Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Barbara and the Board of Directors, Flood Control and Water Conservation District:
Consider recommendations regarding the Schwartz Building alterations for Flood Control, Project No. 8719, First District, as follows:
a) Approve the award of a Fixed Price Construction Contract in the amount of $365,740.00 inclusive of all alternates, to the lowest responsible bidder, Bottenfield Construction Company Inc., subject to the provisions of the documents and certifications as set forth in the plans and specifications applicable to the project and as required by California Law;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute the Construction Contract upon return of the Contractor’s executed contract documents, and the review and approval of County Counsel, Auditor-Controller and Risk Manager or their authorized representatives;
c) Authorize the Director of General Services or designee to approve change orders up to the limit specified in Public Contract Code Section 20142, or $30,787.00 for this contract; and
d) Find that a Notice of Exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15301was approved by the Board for this construction project on August 2, 2011, and that the award of a contract 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).
