Riverside University Health System Corona Community Health Center (RUHS Corona CHC) Flood Remediation

The RUHS Corona CHC facility is located at 2813 South Main Street in Corona. On May 14, 2026, the facility experienced flooding within the first and second floor due to an overflowing toilet located on the 2nd floor of the facility. Facilities Management (FM) issued an emergency declaration pursuant to the authority delegated in Resolution 2003-23 by the Board of Supervisors (Board), allowing immediate action to procure contracts to provide emergency work without competitive bidding. An approved Job Order Contractor (JOC) remediation and restoration vendor, BluSky Restoration Contractors, LLC (BluSky), was immediately procured to assess, mitigate, and remediate the flood damage that had occurred in the building and to prevent further damage within the facility. Failure to immediately address the flooding posed a clear and imminent danger to the health and safety of the clinics, customers, and staff. The RUHS Corona CHC facility sustained water damage in about 12 percent of the building area, comprising approximately 3,000 sq. ft. of occupied clinic space, and included 4,900 sq. ft. of wall surfaces, 1,600 sq. ft. of flooring materials, and 800 sq. ft. of ceiling area. The remediation vendor, BluSky, has mitigated the immediate flood by securing damaged areas, completing water extraction, and drying wet ceilings, insulation, drywall, and flooring. GM Business Interiors (GMBI) disassembled, placed in temporary storage, and reassembled the furniture in the areas affected by the flood. BluSky has completed the remediation efforts, ensuring all environmental impacts have been addressed and the facility no longer poses an imminent danger to customers and staff, and has started the restoration work. GMBI has completed the reinstallation of the furniture in the building. The remediation at the RUHS Corona CHC is identified as the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The operation of the facility will continue to provide public services and will not result in a change or expansion of existing use. No additional direct or indirect physical environmental impacts are anticipated.
