Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors approve adding the 1200 Aguajito Road Seismic Assessment, Project No. 8584, to the approved FY 2017-18 Fund 401 - Facilities Maintenance Project list in the amount of $125,000 and reducing the Project Improvements TBD line item that was included in the FY 2017-18 Adopted Budget under Fund 401 by $125,000.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
A comprehensive study of court facilities commissioned by the Judicial Council of California (JCC), entitled Seismic Risk Rating of California Superior Court Buildings, dated March 2017, (JCC Study) rated all of its sites. A finding in the JCC Study categorizes the four (4) story Monterey Courthouse structure located at 1200 Aguajito Road, Monterey, California as Very High Risk (VHR). A rating of VHR prioritizes these facilities among all others for mitigation and contingency planning. The Monterey Courthouse structure at 1200 Aguajito Road will not be assessed further by the JCC because the Courthouse structure remains in County ownership.
In an effort to determine seismic stability and better understand the potential costs for retrofit, the County proposes to commission a more detailed assessment with cost estimating and prioritization of retrofits. The County's assessment will evaluate all three (3) of the major structures at the Monterey Courthouse Facility, identified as the Monterey Courthouse, the Monterey Courthouse Annex and the detached Parking Structure (as shown in the attached plan view), totaling approximately 116,000 square feet.
