F.3. Adopt resolution designating public works projects as an essential governmental function
Rationale:
On March 31, six Bay Area counties (Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa and Marin) issued an updated Shelter in Place order (“March 31 Orders”) to revise and increase social distancing requirements from what was previously stated in the prior shelter in place orders issued by these entities. 

Under these new March 31 Orders, contractors may continue to work on public works projects only if the projects have been “specifically designated as an Essential Governmental Function by the lead governmental agency.”  By this resolution, the Board would designate the District’s public works projects as essential activities and delegates to the Superintendent or his designee the authority to designate further projects as essential.

Like the previous orders, contractors on District projects may only continue to work on the condition that all persons on site comply with “Social Distancing Requirements” set forth in the March 31 Orders.  Additionally, the March 31 Orders require the posting of “Social Distancing Protocol” at each site.  This requirement and the draft Protocol are both incorporated into the Resolution.

District staff recommends that the Board approve this delegation related to essential activities and delegate to the Superintendent or his designee the authority to determine future projects as also essential activities consistent with the Resolution and the March 31 Orders.
