On February 25, 2020, your Board approved Agreement No. 20-085 with Professional Asbestos Removal Corporation (PARC) for asbestos and lead paint abatement, hazardous waste pickup and disposal, and removal and disposal of debris associated with homelessness encampments, and emergency response services. The agreement included three departments: Public Works and Planning ($500,000), the Department of Public Health ($50,000), and the County Administrative Office ($70,000). On July 12, 2022, your Board approved the first amendment, (No. 22-303), to the Agreement, adding $330,000 to the County Administrative Office’s allotment and $250,000 to Public Works and Planning’s allotment. On October 25, 2022, your Board approved the second amendment (No. 22-496) to the agreement, adding $750,000 for abatement services at the request of the County in conjunction with Notices and Orders to Abate Public Nuisances and adding $150,000 to the amount allocated to the Department of Public Works and Planning. On April 9, 2024, your Board approved the third amendment (No. 24-158) to the agreement, redesignating funds in the Abatement Services category to the County Administrative Office and adding $500,000 in funds to the maximum compensation.
The recommended fourth amendment will add $75,000 to Public Works and Planning’s allotment so that PARC may continue to provide hazardous waste cleanup services to the County.
