TITLE
WITHDRAWN
Recommendation to adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to execute a contract and any amendments thereto with Williams Scotsman International, Inc., for the purchase and installation of a modular building on the same terms and conditions afforded the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), in the total amount not to exceed $2,244,000 including tax, plus a 15 percent contingency (or $336,600), if necessary and if funds are available. (District 5)
DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract for the purchase of a 7,656 square-foot, one-story, modular building at the Long Beach Gas and Oil Department (LBGO) site at 2400 East Spring Street. This purchase will facilitate the relocation of approximately 25 staff from the current LBGO's Oil Operations Bureau and the Oil Production/Subsidence Bureau currently leasing private office space located at 211 East Ocean Boulevard. This proposed acquisition will also assist LBGO in aligning their 2010 budget goals by reducing costs, providing a new ongoing revenue stream, reducing the City's rental of private office space, and allowing for the geographic consolidation of the support operations currently performed separately in the gas and oil groups including the areas of accounting, personnel, payroll, safety, clerical, front-desk coverage, and record keeping.
LBGO Business Operations Bureau is requesting to purchase this modular building as part of its Fiscal Year 2010 (FY 10) adopted budget plan. This relocation of staff and consolidation of facilities will eliminate the oil operation's current annual expenditure of $450,000 in the leasing of private office space. Instead, the oil operations will pay to LBGO and the Gas Fund a new ongoing revenue of $300,000 annually in space rental fees. The Gas Fund will utilize this revenue stream to help fund its ongoing pipeline infrastructure replacement costs.
