Community Development Agency <br />santa-ana.org/cd <br />Item # 26 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> Staff Report <br />April 19, 2022 <br />TOPIC: Increase Spending Capacity for the Homeless Navigation Center Construction <br />AGENDA TITLE: <br />Approve Increase in Spending Capacity with Dyer 18 LLC for Unforeseen Tenant <br />Improvement Costs Relating to the Homeless Navigation Center (Non-General Fund) <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />Authorize the City Manager to increase spending capacity with Dyer 18, LLC for tenant <br />improvements at the Homeless Navigation Center, in the amount of $1,200,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On March 2, 2021, the City Council approved a lease agreement with Dyer 18 LLC for an <br />industrial building located at 1815 Carnegie Avenue to be used as a homeless navigation <br />center. This lease agreement included tenant improvements (construction), as well as a <br />purchase option. The original tenant improvement costs were estimated as $8,500,000 <br />with an additional contingency of $850,000. <br /> <br />On February 15, 2022, the City Council approved an additional $2,000,000 to complete <br />the project when it became apparent that the original tenant improvement estimate would <br />be insufficient to complete the work on this site. Since this time, unforeseen conditions <br />have continued and have impacted costs. Pandemic-related supply chain costs and <br />changes to scope have had the greatest impact to the increased costs. Not only was there <br />a disruption in service when goods were unavailable, but there was also an increase in <br />costs of materials. <br />The totality of issues at the site have created these unforeseen financial impacts and <br />necessitate increased expenditures. The contractor reports remaining tenant <br />improvement costs to be $2,017,391. At the onset of the agreement with the contractor <br />the City payed a retainer of $850,000, which was to be used at the conclusion of <br />construction. The total additional spending authority needed will be the anticipated costs, <br />minus the retainer requiring an increase in spending authority in the amount of <br />$1,200,000, for a total construction of $12,550,000 to complete tenant Improvements and <br />allow occupancy.
