RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the Demolition/Replacement of Fire Station 16 at 4007 Los Arabis Drive in Lafayette Project (Project), Lafayette area [County Project No. WO#795A, DCD-CP#16-38] (District II).

DETERMINE the Project is a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Class 2(b) Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15302(b) of the CEQA Guidelines, and

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development through the Fire Chief to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Capital Improvement Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this Project is to demolish the existing vacant Fire Station No. 16 and replace it with a new single apparatus fire station at the same location, for the same purpose, and with substantially the same capacity, since the number of personnel (3) and fire apparatuses (1) will be consistent with past staffing and equipment levels. The existing vacant fire station was vacated due to structural damage. The new fire station, which will continue to be operated by Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD), will serve the surrounding residential neighborhood north of Highway 24 in central Lafayette.

On April 18, 2017, the Board of Supervisors awarded a job order contract (JOC) for repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work to be performed pursuant to the Construction Task Catalog to each of Federal Solutions Group, Aztec Consultants, Mark Scott Construction, Inc., and S.C. Anderson Group International Inc., each in the amount of $2,500,000. This project is expected to be performed by one of the four JOC contractors. A task order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC contractor to complete this Project. In the event that the Project is not performed by the JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
