Report Title: Lease of Office Space at 2600 Stanwell Drive, Concord
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE a lease with 2600 Stanwell, LLC for approximately 17,415 square feet of office space located at 2600 Stanwell Drive, Suites 100, 104 and 200, Concord, for Health Services Department–Health, Housing and Homeless Services, for a 10-year term at an initial annual rent of $376,164.00, with annual increases thereafter.
AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute the lease and up to two renewal options.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The lease will obligate the County to pay rent of $4,312,298.70 over the ten-year term. (100% General Fund))
BACKGROUND:
The Coordinated Outreach, Engagement and Referral (CORE) program is currently located at 2380 Bisso Lane in Concord in office space that is currently on loan from the Health Services - Information Technology (IT) department. The IT department is now in need of that space due to an increase in employees and has requested that the CORE program be relocated. CORE and the Health, Housing and Homeless (H3) administrative staff, also located at Bisso Lane, need a location as both sites at Bisso (2380 and 2400) are over capacity. The department has grown in full-time employees and the original office configurations do not comfortably seat the additional staff. Currently, there are two - four employees to an office and a converted conference room. There is no space to expand at the Bisso campus.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not authorizing the lease would require finding another suitable location to locate a growing CORE staff.
