| AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority | 2005-04-19 | 3 | Member Gilmore summarized the challenges of reducing the amount of expenditures in the ARRA budget, by allowing the general fund to absorb those expenditures. Bill Norton replied that staff provided the ARRA Board with this detail to see the impact of the changes on the general fund. 3-B. Recommendation to Authorize the Executive Director to Direct P.M. Realty, Acting as Property Manager, to Enter Into a Contract with Courtney Giampolini to Waterproof City Hall West (Building One) in an Amount not to Exceed $966,650 Nanette Banks provided photos of the extensive water damage in various locations of Building 1(City Hall West). Building 1, like other buildings at Alameda Point, have problems that require a lot of work, specifically asbestos remediation, lead paint and waterproofing, roof and other capital upgrades. Ms. Banks introduced Rick Jones, construction manager from PM Realty Group. After Mr. Jones explained the problems with the buildings, he and Chair Johnson had conversation about the contractor bidding process and if this process was approved by the ARRA. Ms. Banks explained that in an exhibit to the property management agreement with PM Realty, PM Realty is allowed to use their own process for selecting contractors for us. Member deHaan, as well as the other boardmembers, expressed concern about the almost $1M.cost for the building repair. Member Gilmore questioned the long-term "guarantees" to this costly solution. She wanted reassurance that the same problems don't resurface in a year, after spending $1M. Mr. Jones explained that there is a 10 yr warranty, which is pretty standard in the industry. Staff and boardmembers discussed other options for housing City Staff. Bill Norton explained that there is no other space available for city staff to move into. There was also further discussion about window replacements. Mr. Jones stated that 40 windows would be replaced, and the other 200 are aluminum. Member Daysog stated that the ARRA is in a fiscal crises and as such non-life threatening projects, like waterproofing, I believe need to be delayed especially if the professional opinion is that delay doesn't result in significant cost increases to the project. Chair Johnson agreed with Member Daysog but stated that (Building 1) is a workplace for our workers and we can't have our city employees working in those conditions. She also requested a briefing for discussion of the ARRA board the bidding process and requirements. The Board approved the staff recommendation. Staff recommendation accepted and passed by the following voice vote: Ayes-4; Noes-1 (Daysog); Abstentions-0 3 | AlamedaReuseandRedevelopmentAuthority/2005-04-19.pdf |
