SUBJECT: Second Amendment to Agreement with Professional Asbestos Removal
Corporation
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Second Amendment to the Agreement with
Professional Asbestos Removal Corporation, d.b.a. PARC Environmental 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,to add abatement
services on private properties,with no change to the term of February 25, 2020 through June 30,
2025 and increasing the maximum compensation by$900,000 to a total of$2,100,000.
Approval of the recommended action will increase the maximum compensation to fund additional services
under the Agreement, including abatement services on properties not owned by the County, in conjunction
with issued Notices and Orders to Abate Public Nuisances. This item is Countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Should your Board not approve the recommended second amendment, cleanup response will be delayed in
situations that are often unpredictable, critical, and require urgent intervention to preserve public health and
public safety.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County cost associated with the recommended action. The recommended
amendment increases the maximum compensation by$900,000 to $2,100,000. Sufficient appropriations
and estimated revenues are included in the County Administrative Office Org 2540, Department of Public
Health Org 5620, and Public Works and Planning -Roads Org 4510 FY 2022-23 Adopted Budget and will be
included in future budget requests for the term's duration.
DISCUSSION:
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. To date, the
County of Fresno Page 1 File Number:22-1114
File Number:22-1114
Departments have expended approximately$1,016,000 or 85% of the maximum agreement compensation,
with over 50% of the agreement term remaining.
With your Board's approval of the recommended amendment, $900,000 will be added to the compensation
amount authorized by the agreement for abatement services on private properties, in conjunction with
issued Notices and Orders to Abate Public Nuisances. Currently, the agreement does not cover abatement
services on privately owned and maintained properties.
These abatement services will include removal of all garbage, rubbish, debris,junk, scrap metal
combustible and burned materials, inflammable materials, and all other items of waste from the property. It
will also include removal of all inoperable, dismantled, inoperative, or wrecked vehicles from the property,
and all materials removed from the property must be disposed at an approved waste or recycling facility in
accordance with all laws. The change in scope and increase is necessary so that this agreement bay be
used for abatement services on private properties.
The recommended second amendment also increases the insurance coverage requirements in the areas of
general liability and professional liability. Prior to a Notice to Proceed being issued for the abatement
services, PARC's insurance certificates, endorsements and policy must be reviewed in detail and approved
by the County's Human Resources, Risk Management Divisions.
