2.         Staff recommends motion to: 

 

A) approve a First Amendment to the Terminal Building Lease Agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA), an Executive Agency of the United States of America, extending the rental commencement date from December 1, 2007, to March 1, 2008 and waiving the public construction bond requirement; and

 

B) authorize staff to write off all lease charges and late fees for the Terminal Building Lease Agreement for the period commencing December 1, 2007 and ending on February 29, 2008 in the amount of $63,776.18.

 

SUMMARY: On June 5, 2007, the Board approved a Terminal Building Lease Agreement (Lease) (R2007-0855) with the GSA to construct office and support areas for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The Lease required the GSA to commence payment of rental upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the initial improvements or December 1, 2007, whichever occurred first.  The Lease also required the GSA’s contractors to furnish a public construction bond for the benefit of the County.  The GSA has requested that the rental commencement date be extended to March 1, 2008 due to construction and administrative delays. The GSA has also requested that the public construction bond requirement be waived based on the advice of its legal office, which has concluded that the County cannot be named as a dual obligee on the bond provided to the GSA by its contractors.  The Lease will continue to require the GSA to ensure all improvements are constructed to completion and that all of its contractors will be paid.  Countywide (JB)

Request for approval of this Change Order is being brought to the BCC in accordance with revised PPM CW-F-050 effective February 1, 2006 due to the value of the change order combined with the time extension, which exceeds the authority limits of the Contract Review Committee. The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation for Amendment No. 1 and Change Order No. 23 is 0%.  The total DBE contract goal including all change orders and Amendment No. 1 is 9.01%.  Countywide (JCM)
