SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER AUTHORIZING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO ENTER INTO A PRECONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH SL CARSON BUILDERS, LLC ("SLCB") FOR SERVICES RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF LENARDO ROAD ON THE FORMER CAL-COMPACT LANDFILL, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $250,000
Body
I. SUMMARY
The Carson Reclamation Authority ("CRA") is obligated to construct Lenardo Road and associated infrastructure on the Former Cal-Compact Landfill to facilitate the private development of the landfill cells. The CRA is negotiating an amendment to the Development Management Agreement with RE|Solutions, LLC ("RES") whereby RES creates a new task order with SLCB to undertake the construction of the road under the existing set of contracts that date from 2018.
While the revisions to the RES contract are still being drafted, the CRA and SLCB have explored good faith efforts to assist the CRA in accelerating and expediting the subcontract bid process, which ordinarily would be Task Order 1 under RES. RES, under its Site Management activities, is still working on marshalling the civil engineering designs through the approval process, as well as working with the site utilities and other regulators, to arrive at a set of final documents for bidding by SLCB to the construction trades and subcontractors.
The Preconstruction Agreement speeds up the overall process because it would allow SLCB to perform certain necessary tasks concurrently with RES's activities, rather than after the CRA/RES amendment is fully negotiated. As a result, it will help the CRA keep to its schedule better. Separately, Carson Goose Owner, LLC ("CGO") will reimburse the CRA for these pre-construction costs through its Reimbursement Agreement with the CRA, to be offset from its infrastructure contribution made at closing.
