AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2008-09-10 | 1 | APPROVED MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ALAMEDA REUSE AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Wednesday, September 10, 2008 The meeting convened at 7:27 p.m. with Chair Johnson presiding. 2-A 1. ROLL CALL Present: Chair Beverly Johnson Boardmember Doug deHaan Boardmember Frank Matarrese Boardmember Marie Gilmore Vice Chair Lena Tam 2. CONSENT CALENDAR 2-A. Approve the minutes of the Special Joint Meeting of the City Council, ARRA, and CIC of August 19, 2008. Approval of the Consent Calendar was motioned by Member Matarrese, seconded by Member deHaan and passed by the following voice votes: Ayes: 5, Noes: 0, Abstentions: O. 3. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 3-A. Authorize PM Realty Group to Enter into a Contract with St. Francis Electric for Pier 2 Electrical Upgrades at Alameda Point for a contract not to exceed $1,344,744. Leslie Little, Development Services Director, gave an overview of the item and discussed the Spring 2006 sublease of MARAD approved by the ARRA for 20 years for use of the piers at Alameda Point. Pier 2 is an older, unreliable facility, and doesn't comply with current standards. To upgrade to code, the underground transformers would need to be relocated above ground to meet Alameda Power & Telecom (AP&T) requirements. In January 2007, the ARRA approved design work for the electrical upgrade for Pier 2 improvements and the project was bid. A bid was received for $1.7M for the project. The Board then directed staff to revise the project to reduce the total cost. Staff and MARAD worked closely with AP&T to revise the technical requirements to just upgrade the existing systems, which reduced the project cost significantly for the next bid. Three bids were received, with St. Francis Electric with the lowest bid at $1.29M. Staff is requesting approval to add a 5% contingency with add-on alternative for concrete x-raying and independent testing for the Pier 2 Electrical upgrades, for a total cost not to exceed $1,344,744. Member Matarrese commented that the impact to the ARRA budget is that we are + $400,000, and asked how much the ARRA owes to the City General Fund. Ms. Little replied that the ARRA has two loan obligations, 1) ARRA debt obligation of $2.4M, and 2) the Alameda Point Improvement Project (APIP) of $1.258M. Member Matarrese recommended it be considered that the $400,000 be paid back to General Fund as part of a loan payment. Ms. Little explained that the ARRA currently carries that as an expenditure, and it would go back to the General Fund Reserve. Staff and the Board discussed the ARRA lease revenues, and how they are not sufficient to cover expenditures in totality. Member Gilmore asked whether there were any other large capital | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2008-09-10.pdf |
