Title
CONSIDER A SUPPLEMENTAL CONTRACTING AND STAFFING PLAN FOR THE CARSON RECLAMATION AUTHORITY TO TRANSITION FROM A COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

With the wind-down of the Authority's Amended and Restated Development Management Agreement ("DMA") with its Horizontal General Contractor, RE| Solutions, LLC ("RES"), the Board has requested Staff bring back a plan to replace those services with additional consultants, new staff, or some combination of the two.

New demands on the Authority will include the collateral assignment and administration of contracts currently held by RES; overseeing the continued O&M activity on the Site which will need to adapt to changing Site conditions based on construction activity; managing Site access, regulatory compliance and workflow from up to four general contractors on the Site (Cell 2; Cells 3, 4, and 5; Cell 1; the responsibility to construct the on-site infrastructure such as Lenardo and Stamps and Site utilities); and the post-construction O&M activities on the Site once all the projects are completed.
The recommended plan, as outlined below, is the following:

4. Bidding the construction management of the Lenardo Road construction project through the City. ...
