Executive Summary: In December 2021, the City retained the services of JK Architects of Santa Rosa, CA to provide an assessment of Fire Station 3, and provide design, and construction documents for purposes of renovations of the station. The facility report identified significant building issues that resulted in higher than anticipated preliminary construction estimates. Upon eliminating some scope, and in coordination with the recent adoption of amending City Code Title 3, Chapter 3.45 to allow Design/Build contracts, the department of Public Works has decided to move the project forward via a Design/Build delivery method to ensure a guaranteed maximum price due to volatility in the construction industry.

Staff is requesting an appropriation of $3,500,000 from the City’s ARPA Fund and General Fund Undesignated Excess Reserve to support the Project and proceed with the Request for Design/Build Proposals.

Requested Action / Suggested Motions: Pass a Resolution appropriating $3,500,000 from ARPA Funds and General Fund Undesignated Excess Reserves for Design/Build Services for the renovation of Fire Station 3.

CEQA Determination: This project is categorically exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines 15301 (Existing Facilities) because it consists of the repair or minor alteration of an existing public structure involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
