SUBJECT: FIRE STATION NO. 7 — APPROVE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH RRM DESIGN GROUP FOR DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION SUPPORT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $363,521 with RRM
Design Group, and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the Agreement.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The County of Orange has committed $1,600,000 from the Santa Ana Heights
Redevelopment Agency (SAH RDA) to the City to construct new a new fire station in
Santa Ana Heights. The Fire Department has also obtained a $350,000 grant (pending
City Council approval) from the Rancho Santiago Community College District to
construct a fire training facility within the City, and has an additional $180,000 allocated
to the training facility in FY 2004/2005 Capital Improvement Program.
A fire station to serve this area needs to be designed to accommodate at least two units
and eight personnel. It will be a minimum 8,000 square foot structure that is occupied
24 hours per day for 365 days per year. The station will include an apparatus room for
two fire vehicles, office space, a day room, kitchen facilities, sleeping facilities, bathing
facilities, physical fitness facilities, a training /meeting room, and space to accommodate
utilities and fire equipment storage.
The site will also accommodate a training tower and drill ground area. The three -story
training tower will be a 20 -ft by 50 -ft prefabricated steel building that is sited within a
space that is adequate to maneuver fire apparatus and personnel during training
exercises. This will allow Newport Beach fire personnel a place to train on essential
fireground tactics while remaining in the City, available for timely response.

The intent is to construct the station and training facility upon two adjacent parcels
totalling 2.1 acres located at Mesa Drive and Acacia Street (see attached location
map). The parcels are currently being acquired by the City. Acquisition should be
completed this month, whereupon the occupants will have until December 31, 2004, to
vacate the premises.
CONSULTANT SELECTION:
Staff desires to retain consultant services to design the new fire station and fire training
facilities. To do so, professional qualifications were solicited from six firms with known
expertise in fire station design and in an advertisement that was placed in the Daily
Pilot. Five firms responded. Staff reviewed their qualifications, past experience on
similar projects, availability and references, and rated RRM Design Group (RRM) as the
most qualified firm to do the work.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
RRM has proposed to provide project management; a topographic survey and
geotechnical investigation; site analysis; schematic designs; estimates; a rendering, an
environmental assessment; design development; contract plans and specifications; and
construction support services for the project as specified in their draft Professional
Services Agreement attached hereto. The planning will include meetings with City staff,
neighboring property owners and managers, and the City Council, as needed.
Alternative site development schemes will be explored in order to determine the most
desirable site layout and develop consensus among the interested parties as to ease of
access and egress, building and parking locations, onsite circulation, aesthetics,
landscaping, lighting, etc.
FEES:
Upon negotiation of services and fees, RRM has agreed to provide a complete scope of
planning, design and construction assistance services for $363,521, including survey,
geotechnical investigation, and a budget for printing, copying, rendering, and other
reimbursibles. Their design and construction support services will extend over the next
two years. RRM's fees and hourly rates are included in the draft Professional Services
Agreement attached hereto.
Funding Availability:
Funds to award a design contract are available in the following accounts:
Account Name Account Number Amount
Fire Station No. 7 7295- C5100569 $1,600,000
Rancho Santiago CC Grant Pending 350,000
Fire Training Facility 7011- C2320715 180.000
TOTAL $2,130,000

Because of significant increases in construction costs (steel, drywall, and more) since
the time the City, the County, and OCDA entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to
fund the stations purchase and construction, we believe the eventual cost to construct
the SAH Fire Station and training facilities will be in the range of $3 -4 million. The
Agreement assumed a $1.6 million cost. However, we do not believe that we will
ultimately have to impact the General Fund for the $1.4 -2.4 million shortfall. Our
options for covering the shortfall include: (a) asking the OCDA for additional
construction funds; (b) acquiring the SAH RDA (as a part of the Spheres Issues
Actions) and providing those funds directly to this Project; (c) using General Funds to
cover the shortfall until RDA funds can be used to reimburse the General Fund.

FIRE STATION NO. 7 AND TRAINING FACILITY
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Newport Beach wishes to construct a new fire station and training facility in the Santa Ana
heights region of Newport's Back Bay to replace the existing temporary Station No. 7 located nearby. The
new Fire Station No. 7 and Training Facility is to consist of an approximately 8,000 SF fire station to
accommodate two fire vehicles; office space; utilities and fire equipment storage; firefighter living quarters;
physical fitness facilities to accommodate 8 personnel and a 50 person meeting / training classroom. The
Training Facility is to accommodate drill areas, space to maneuver around future training tower and design of
concrete pad and footings to accommodate a future 3 -story pre- fabricated training tower to be supplied by
others. RR AI will coordinate work to the training tower through the City of Navport Beach. Included in our
:cope will be the design of electrical systems within the tower including light and power at direction of City.
Site work ii to include surveying existing site and preparing plans for the demolition of existing on -sire
improvements, grading and preparation for the new Fire Station and Training Facility. The site hill also
include deep front and rear aprons and a drive- through apparatus bay. On site parking for personnel and
meeting/ classroom is to be provided for.
The Fire Station and 'Training Center's location of Santa Ana Heights is an important factor in the design of
the new station. A building design complimentary of the existing neighborhood in materials, colors and
massing will be a goal for the new Fire Station No. 7 and Training Center.
SCOPE OF WORK AND TASKS
PLANNING PHASE
Task A: Proiect Management Plan and Pre - Design
Approach:
The project management plan will seine as the road map for the work ahead. Tlus report is the result of
MZAI's research and discussions with the City and Fire Department Committee Representatives. The report
w ll focus on project goals and procedures. 'The goals will be: budget, time, aesthetics and function. The
procedures «ill be: key contacts for information or decisions, anticipated `events' for approval and regulator
agency requirements. The report will also include the overall project schedule and focused schedules for each
main task. Early discussions regarding the scheduling for planning and design review submittals mill be `key'
to the project schedule.

Task B: Program Refinement and Site Analvsis
Approach:
The RRM Team will formulate a clear program statement that will serve as a `basis of design' for the facility.
Through a series of meetings with the City and Fire Department Committee, RRM will generate site analysis
exhibits, current and future space and equipment needs, address safety and security requirements and
functional relationships. The completion of a comprehensive equipment and furnishings Est, which will
include the design criteria for future apparatus or support equipment, fire training needs and furnishings, is
critical to verifying the program.
The program statement will also state specific goals and priorities concerning energy efficiency, sound
attennnation and maintainability of materials. 'Pie program will inchide component room diagrams, which lay
out enneial design components such as turnout gear storage, kitchen design and sleeping layouts. The
component diagrams enable all City/ Fire Department personnel to envision the individual spaces graphically;
not just as a written Est. A site plan exhibit will be generated to depict the sun orientation, wind direction,
noise sources (airplane traffic from John Wayne Airport), views that will affect the site layout, zoning
setbacks; maxinntm allowable building areas and vehicle access that will affect building massing, placement
and maneuverability.
Products:
• final project Program report

the site, obtain undisturbed soil samples (two CPI's, three borings), perform laboratory tests on tic samples
and provide an engineering analysis of all field and lab data. This engineering analysis will discuss the site and
underlying soils as well as the seismicity of the site and associated risks involved in developing tie project at
this locations. The Geotechnical Report will provide soil profiles and sections, foundation and differential
settlement assumptions, lateral pressures, subsurface water elevations, suitability of on -site soils for backftll, a
plot plan showing boring locations and soils bearing pressure recommendations for different types of
foundations and pavement sections that may be appropriate. Geotechnical investigation shall run
concurrently with Task B — Program Refinement and Site Analysis.
Geotechnical Consultant \vill review plans as needed at end of Construction Documents phase as required by
the City Building Department for general compliance of plans to Geotechnical Report.

DESIGN PHASE
Task D: Building and Site Schematic Design
Approach:
Based on the Project Program and Site Analvsis Arrangement Plan, the RRM Team will produce one (1) site
and building arrangement plan. It will reflect the primary arrangements of the site and form of the building
and proposed future training tower and facility. Key will be the efficient movement of apparatus to and from
the site, relationship of the living and sleeping rooms to the apparatus bays and movement of apparatus
around the proposed training ground and tower by City. Following direction on the site layout, RRM will
produce one (1) floor plan layout based on the site arrangement study developed. A working meeting with
the City and Fire Department Nvill be used to refine the floor plan design. Based on decisions from the floor
plan review, two (2) exterior design concepts will be presented for review of the station. The exterior
building elevations will show material options, roof profiles, building style and colors. A working meeting
with the Ciry and Fire Department will be used to select and refine the exterior building elevations and
become the basis of design for future phases. Included during this task will be review/ comments on the
Gcotechnical Report completed previously. The schematic design task will also include an opinion of
probable cost based on major systems, building components and RRM's knowledge of similar scale and
designed projects.
During schematic design it is anticipated that RRN1 will attend and present design solutions to neighborhood
community and City Council groups. One (1) water color rendering of the building will be completed for use
in presentations to the above groups,
A site survey will be completed during this phase and used as a base map for demolition plans and proposed
new work. Research of existing utility information will also be included in this task.
