TITLE: Lido Fire Station No. 2 Replacement — Approval of Professional
Services Agreement with WLC Architects (C-8269-1)
ABSTRACT:
The existing Lido Fire Station No. 2 is scheduled for replacement based on the Facility
Maintenance Master Plan and the Facility Financing Master Plan. The Station has exceeded
its intended service life and is in need of replacement. Architectural consultant design
services are needed to prepare the construction contract documents to replace this Station at
its current 32nd Street location.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or
Reconstruction) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14,
Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect on the environment; and
b) Approve a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with WLC Architects of Rancho
Cucamonga, CA for the Lido Fire Station No. 2 Replacement Project at a not -to -exceed
price of $525,800.00, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
Sufficient funding for this architectural and engineering design work is available in the current
Fiscal Year Budget and will be expensed as follows:
Vendor Purpose Account Amount
WLC Architects Design Services 53201-980000-15F13 $ 525,800.00

DISCUSSION:
The existing Lido Fire Station No. 2 first entered service in 1952. It received a major
rehabilitation in 1980 and a restroom remodel in 2000 to meet ADA (Americans with
Disabilities Act) requirements at that time. The Station now requires excessive maintenance
and repairs, does not comply with the current building codes, and does not meet today's
operational needs for staff or equipment. It was inspected during a review of the Facilities
Maintenance Master Plan in 2014 and received a low Condition Index (CI) rating. The
existing Station is 9,953 square feet in size with two apparatus bays, and outdoor parking for
a paramedic/ambulance unit.
The FY 16-17 Capital Improvement Program provides funds to proceed with the design of a
replacement station. Being that this project requires specialized expertise, an architectural
consultant team is needed. In 2014, staff researched similar facilities that were recently
constructed in the Southern California region and invited ten (10) architectural design firms to
submit their qualifications (SOQ) for consideration. Of the nine SOQ respondents, five were
invited to propose on a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Fire Station 2 and 5.
The City review team consisted of staff from the Fire, Library Services, and Public Works
Departments. Using a qualification -based selection process, each of the five proposals were
evaluated and scored based on the consultant team's experience and qualifications, planning
and design approach, design ideas, and projected level of effort. Collectively, the two top-
ranked firms were selected for interviews to share with staff their past experiences as well as
their approaches and vision for the project. After further discussions, WLC Architects (WLC)
was unanimously selected as the most qualified and responsive firm for these projects. WLC
also has an impressive track record having completed the design of over 100 fire stations for
various agencies throughout California.
The Corona del Mar Fire Station 5 (and Library) was the first project of the two to begin. City
Council awarded a design contract with WLC in March of 2015. The design is complete and
the project is currently out to bid with construction expected to begin in January. WLC
continues to meet the City's needs and requirements. Over the last several months, staff has
been working with WLC and the Fire Department to develop several concept floor and site
plans for Fire Station No. 2 under an existing on-call agreement. This minor work was a cost-
saving exercise to extract meaningful preliminary designs from WLC to ensure the Fire
Department's needs will be met before additional funds are committed on a final design.
These concepts evolve around an 11,500 square foot building that has three full length
apparatus bays that will accommodate all of the Station's rolling equipment, dormitory, living
quarters, training room, and efficient on-site parking for the crews.
The attached concept floor/site plan is the result of multiple planning sessions between WLC,
the Fire Department, and the Public Works Department to maximize building efficiency and
capacity using the least amount of floor space to fit the highly constrained and minimal site.
The Fire Department has reviewed the proposed layout and found it acceptable for its
operations. It should be noted, as part of the preparation for this site, staff spent a
considerable amount of time researching other sites in the area for a replacement Fire

Station location. Staff also held informal discussions with property owners. However, other
site were either unavailable or beyond the available or foreseeable budgets.
Staff accordingly negotiated with WLC on its proposal for the final design work consisting of
the customary technical studies, reports, drawings, and specifications; community meetings;
and the work necessary to apply for and secure a California Coastal Commission
Development Permit (CDP). Upon successful scope of work and fee negotiations, staff feels
that the not -to -exceed $525,800.00 fee listed in the attached PSA reflects the current market
conditions.
The Facility Financing Master Plan has budgeted $8,000,000 for the project which includes
design, environmental, permitting, relocation, utilities, construction, furniture and equipment,
testing and construction management costs. WLC estimates the construction of the
replacement Fire Station will cost approximately $6,500,000, excluding FF+E (Furniture,
Fixtures, and Equipment) using current construction prices. Construction cost escalation,
coupled with unknown Coastal Commission requirements, and a challenging area to relocate
a 10 -person Fire Station crew and equipment are expected to require additional project
funding. Staff will finalize these costs and present them as part of the upcoming CIP budget
process if additional funds are needed.
The design, review, plan check, and CDP is expected to take 18 months. Relocation and
construction is expected to begin by late summer 2018. Construction is expected to last 12-
14 months and will require close coordination with the adjacent Hotel site.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the
CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential to have a significant effect on the environment. The overall project consists of the
replacement of an existing fire station on the same site with a combined structure with same
purpose and substantially the same capacity as the current facility. The existing structures
are not considered historic resources and the fully developed site does not provide any
biological habitat.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the
meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Fire Station No. 2 Architectural/Engineering Design Services
WLC Architects, Inc.
The following is a list of the basic activities and services anticipated for your new project.
The scope has been divided into four of the five phases typically associated with
architectural services:
A. Schematic Design Phase
The first and perhaps most important task during the Schematic Design Phase will be to
establish and determine the best approach to the design of the primary systems in the
project. The architectural program shall be developed. Alternative configurations shall be
quickly explored in order to evaluate the best opportunities. A design concept shall be
formulated in order to provide a sound basis for subsequent planning and design
decisions to occur. The design concept shall be utilized to evaluate advantages and
disadvantages of each potential alternative. Site and programmatic factors, aesthetic
quality, cost, and other key factors related to the project shall be utilized in order to form
the basis of an evaluation. Through a variety of informal meetings with the project
committee, a schematic design concept shall be established.
During the Schematic Design Phase for your project, the following tasks and deliverables
been identified:
1. Master Site Plan
A master site plan shall be prepared in order to describe all major site components and
to illustrate the overall site planning concept for the project. All structures, parking areas,
and circulation components shall be identified. Areas of future expansion and/or future
phasing shall also be defined.
2. Preliminary Landscape Plan
A preliminary landscape plan shall be prepared in order to illustrate proposed planting,
landscaping techniques, and design concepts. Drought resistant, low maintenance and
xeriscape techniques shall be defined. A preliminary plant palette, identifying major tree
and shrub species, shall be included.

A survey of each existing facility will be conducted in order to determine the presence of
asbestos, lead, and miscellaneous toxic materials.
7. Topographical Survey
A complete Topographical and Boundary Survey shall be furnished by the Design Team.
The size, area, and overall configuration of the site area shall be accurately defined
noting all existing conditions, improvements, utilities, and adjacent relationships.
8. Geotechnical Investigation
A Geotechnical Investigation shall be furnished by the design team. The soils report shall
be reviewed in order to determine existing soils conditions, soils characteristics, water
table relationship to known seismic faults, and overall soils suitability for the proposed
project. Specific recommendations shall be made for soils preparation related to the
construction of footings, foundations, slabs, and various pavement sections.
9. Environmental Planning
The Design Team will prepare all reports and documents pursuant to the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and EMWD's adopted CEQA
procedures.
10. Project Schedule
A comprehensive project schedule shall be prepared. The project schedule shall include
anticipated time frames for each phase of the project as well as any other milestones
required by the City.
1. Design Development Phase
After completion of the Schematic Design Phase, the design of the project shall be
advanced into more detailed refinement by initiating the Design Development Phase.
Our Design Team shall prepare design development documents consisting of drawings,
Wolff/Lang/Christopher Architects, Inc. DBA WLC Architects, Inc. Page A-2
27-18
outline specifications, design calculations, material/equipment submittals, fixture cuts,
and a design development opinion of estimated construction cost. Architectural,
structural, electrical, and mechanical systems shall be further detailed and analyzed.
Preliminary drawings shall be prepared for each of these systems and options which
may exist shall be evaluated.
During the Design Development Phase, requirements for cabinets, casework, hardware,
and related specialties shall be determined. A preliminary furniture plan shall be
prepared indicating usage and furniture layout of every work station, office, and support
space. Final selection of materials, textures, and colors shall occur. The Design
Development Phase is essentially the time when preliminary design proposals are
refined to a level of detail and developed to a state such that final construction
documents can be initiated. The Design Development Phase is the time when all final
decisions pertaining to the proposed project are evaluated and finalized.
During the Design Development Phase, the following tasks and deliverables have been
identified:
1. Design Development Plans
Design development drawings shall be prepared in order to fix and describe the size and
character of the entire project including architectural, structural, mechanical, and
electrical design features.
2. Outline Specifications
Outline specifications shall be prepared in order to identify and define the materials and
system components selected for the project. Outline specifications shall be prepared in
summary outline form based on CSI format.
3. Basis of Design
A technical manual shall be assembled to organize product literature and data for all
materials, equipment, and fixtures selected for the project.
4. Building Code Analysis
Drawings, diagrams, and calculations shall be prepared based upon all applicable
building codes having jurisdiction over the project. A preliminary occupancy and exiting
plan shall be prepared to identify the type of construction, type of occupancy, required
fire rating/separation, and location/number of exits required.
5. Design Development Opinion of Cost
An opinion of construction cost shall be prepared to reflect the scope and anticipated
construction costs as reflected by the design development documents.

requirements for the construction of the project. General conditions, instructions to
bidders, and all special requirements are defined, and when combined with the various
trade specifications, a complete project manual is produced.
During the Construction Document Phase final cost studies shall be prepared. A detailed
opinion of construction cost shall be prepared at the point where final plans and
specifications are approximately 50% complete. Once construction documents have
almost been completed, a revised opinion of cost shall be prepared at the level of
approximately 90% completion. Allowable construction costs will be consistently
monitored during the entire process in order to minimize the possibility of requiring
major refinement or modification due to budgetary limits.
The following tasks are specifically proposed for the project:
