Approve one year leases for office space within Major Business Forms (1510 Highway 86 <br /> North) and the Sinclair Building (105 West Corbin Street — suite 103); <br /> 2.) Authorize the Chair to execute the leases following review and approval by the County <br /> Attorney; and <br /> 3.) Approve Budget Amendment #6-D reallocating $150,000 from Capital Reserve funds to <br /> the General Fund (Asset Management Services) to cover the costs of office space leases <br /> during remediation work at the Link Building in Hillsborough. <br /> BACKGROUND: The John M. Link Government Services Center in Hillsborough has <br /> experienced water intrusions as a result of roof and fagade failures. Due to these intrusions, the <br /> County conducted a thorough inspection and testing of the facility at the direction of an industrial <br /> hygienist. The inspection revealed mold within the cavity of the exterior walls. <br /> The remediation plan calls for the repair of the fagade along with additional roof repair to stop <br /> any further water intrusion followed by a remediation of the Link Building. The air quality within <br /> the building remains within acceptable parameters based on weekly testing, so the remediation <br /> can be phased, performing the repair and remediation in 4 separate sections, or quadrants. The <br /> remediation of each quadrant will start with the repair of the fagade and then proceed to <br /> remediate the interior of the same quadrant immediately following the repair. This process is <br /> expected to take around 90 days per quadrant. <br /> Staff is developing bid specifications for the repair and remediation, which will go out to bid by <br /> mid-March. The repair and remediation will be brought to the Board for consideration following <br /> the solicitation process. <br />
