BACKGROUND:
All municipalities are mandated by the State to provide animal sheltering and welfare services. Since 1951, the County of San Mateo has managed these services for cities and unincorporated areas within the County. Services were managed from a 1950s era Animal Control Facility, which was outdated, deteriorated, and required replacement.
In September 2014, the cities and towns within the County entered into an agreement to share costs for construction of a new Animal Shelter. The agreement provides that the County will advance project funds to be repaid by municipalities per their share, through a 30-year, interest-free lease agreement.
On February 28, 2017, this Board approved a design-build agreement with F&H Construction in the amount of $19,699,197 for construction of the Animal Shelter. On February 25, 2020, this Board increased the agreement to a revised not-to-exceed amount of $25,500,000.
Subsequent to this Board's approval of the not-to-exceed amount, the County encountered an unmarked Underground Fuel Storage Tank which required removal and remediation to comply with environmental health requirements that ensure the health and safety of the community.
