RECOMMENDATION(S):
Acting as the Board of Directors for the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to (1) execute a Consulting Services Agreement with RRM Design Group (RRM) in the amount of $320,000, for the period April 16, 2019 to April 15, 2021, to provide design professional services for the new Fire Station No. 70 project at 1800 23rd Street in San Pablo, and (2) mutually terminate the agreement with Loving Campos Associates, Architects, Inc. for design professional services effective May 3, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Fire Station 70 construction project was originally funded out of the CCCFPD Capital Outlay Fund. That fund has been substantially exhausted, largely by the Fire Station 16 construction project. The Fire Station 70 construction project has been temporarily moved the District's General Fund. The District's FY 2019-20 Recommended Budget includes a request to establish a capital construction fund and transfer $10 million in Fire District General Fund reserves to that fund. The $10 million in reserves, along with funding from the City of San Pablo, will fund the Fire Station 70 construction project to completion, and the District will still meet and exceed its 10% General Fund reserve requirement.
