RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to conduct a feasibility study to relocate Fire Station 86 (Bay Point) from its current location to property owned by the Fire District located at Willow Pass Road and Highway 4.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The study would be conducted by the County Capital Projects Management Division. The District would be responsible for paying County staff costs, potentially up to $20,000.

BACKGROUND:

Due to the recent fire station closures, it is necessary to reevaluate the location and placement of fire stations to meet operational needs. This is a potential opportunity to gain a more strategic response location that will provide better service coverage and response times for the area and the entire system. The proposed site has been validated by the District’s computer modeling system. Additionally, the current fire station is 67 years old and does not meet current seismic safety standards or operational needs. Since the Fire District currently owns the land for the proposed site, the study will analyze site preparation and construction costs. The Fire District has funding available for the construction in special accounts that are restricted for capital and facility purposes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A feasibility study would not be conducted at this time.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
