In April, 1996, the City of Dublin received indication of interest from the Alameda County Fire Department and an indication from the Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton that they were interested in submitting a joint proposal for Contract Fire Service to the City of Dublin. In July, 1996, the City Manager circulated a detailed Request for Proposal for Fire Services and received . proposals from Alameda County Fire and Twin Valley Fire (Livermore/Pleasanton). The City Manager assembled an interview committee consisting of Ellen Whittom, Dublin's Interim Finance Manager, and Mike Harwood, a former Fire Chief hired by the City to assist in the review of the fire service alternatives. Interviews of the two proposers were held on August 27, 1996, and attended by the President of Dublin Firefighters' Local 1885 and the Administrative Assistant of DRFA representing DRFA's unrepresented employees. Based upon the questions and issues that were raised during and subsequent to the interviews by the Interview Committee, both Alameda County Fire and Twin Valley submitted revised proposals for Fire Service for the City of Dublin to consider. The City Manager will present a complete analysis of both proposals along with an analysis of other fire service options for Council consideration at its meeting of . October 1, 1996. Since there is a great deal of information to digest and potential questions regarding the contract proposals, the City Manager has arranged for both Alameda County Fire and Twin Valley Fire to make presentations to the Council in order that the Council can have adequate time to assess it's options and be better prepared to select a preferred Fire Service Delivery option at the City Council meeting of October 1, 1996. . ~__~,u__._~~_~~' ------ .~--.,.......... . #8 A Proposal to Provide Fire Services for The City of Dublin August 15, 1996 Submitted by: ALAMEDA COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT Alameda County Fire Department . ~~~~_.. ;"~~~:;,:,~~~~. ~:< </ "'-..... <"-'<~." ~f":;~~" ,<:.. __----..::=- - - ~ l / ~\~~"\ . . ...r ' " . ..-;::-~ ,-\ ~ ~-- -- , / '\(, ". /~v. \\ _....~-.~.~-..::? ~\ r'O, '1/ t \ f.

Ambrose, City Manager City of Dublin . 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mr, Ambrose; Re: City of Dublin Request for Proposal Fire Services I am pleased to present the Alameda County Fire Department's proposal to provide fire protection services for the City of Dublin, We welcome the opportunity to work with the City of Dublin and look fOlWard to further discussions with you, your staff, and the City Council, as the process moves fOlWard. ... ACFD provides fire protection services for the unincorporated areas previously served by three fire districts and the City of San Leandro. The successful completion of a consolidation. and contract for services process with a municipality has given ACFD experience in understanding the concerns and challenges faced by a community when changing service providers. The issues surrounding local control and community. identity were significant both in the consolidation, and the contract for services with the City of San Leandro. I believe the letters of reference provided with this submittal will confirm our success in addressing these concerns. ACFD is committed to providing a high level of service, while managing the costs associated with that service. Internal policies, operational procedures, and administrative systems for budget, payroll, staffing, incident reporting, and training have all been developed to accommodate potential growth. We have attempted to provide the most complete proposal possible given the time frames and infonnation available, given that there are costs that cannot be estimated until there is further discussion regarding the dissolution of the Authority. We are committed to working with your staffprior to our contract going into effect to represent the City of Dublin. ~ Administration. 835 E. 14th St., Ste. 200. San Leandro, CA 94577.510-618-3490.

Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Members ofthe Council: Re: City of Dublin Request for Proposal for Fire Services The Board of Supervisors has been informed of the proposed dissolution of the Dougherty Regional Fire Author.ity and the City of Dublin's request for proposals for providing fire protection services. It is with great enthusiasm that the Board of Supervisors welcomes this opportunity for the City of Dublin to become a partner as part of a regional delivery system. ,. . ::. ~ .. When the Board of Supervisors formed the Alameda County Fire Department in 1993, one of the goals was to create a regional platform similar to others in the State. T~e most notable of these is in Los Angeles County, where jurisdictions within the County have the option of receiving fire protection services from a regional service provider.. ~: ':": _The benefits of regionalized fire protection are significant both from a service level and cost perspective. The City of San Leandro evaluated this option and contracted with the ACFD in July 1995 for fire protection services, Their decision to. contract with ACFD was not taken lightly. They faced the same issues of community identity and levels of service that are surely part . .. of your deliberations. The success of the San Leandro contract proves that .ACFD has been able to .meet the ex.pectations of the community and provide high quality fire protection services while reducing the cost for the City. . . .. . . .. The Board of Supervisors welcomes the opportunity to share the benefits of a regionalized fire protection system with the City of Dublin. It is our belief that through this type of regional cooperation we may be better prepared to address fiscal and service level issues in the future. . ~~ ,- ;.

The City of San Leandro has a long proud history of support for the fire department and the services they provide to the community. The City places a very high value on medical services for our many older residents, and as well the fire fighting services necessary to provide protection to a very large industrial base that exists in San Leandro, e.: ;"." . The Alameda County Fire Department has proven to be a very good choice for the residents of the City~ Providing paramedic engine companies has significantly improved medical service to our residents. The industrial community receives the benefit of hazardous materials response capabilities and a well-coordinated response system that has proven itself time and time again to work effectively. . While there was some concern initially that the Department would possibly lose touch with the community, it has not, and the residents are now receiving service from a regional provider that is responsive to the community, I am very excited about the possibility of the City of Dublin receiving service from the County Fire Department, as this type of service delivery model is a very cost effective way to provide a high level of service at reasonable cost to the residents of Alameda County. .: Sincerely. ~ ~~tt ~~ e; 5 ,ei ! .. .

Ambrose, City Manager City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Mr. Ambrose: Re: Contract with the Alameda County Fire Department for Fire Protection It has been more than 12 months since the City of San Leandro entered into a contract for fire protection services with the Alameda County Fire Department. Throughout this time, services have consistently met or exceeded expectations for response times and equipment availability for all types of calls, bearing out the City Council's sound decision to contract with ACFD to save costs. Maintaining fIrst quality fire response has remained the constant focus for ACFD and the City. The City of San Leandro is confident that any community contemplating the advantages of regional fIre .protection will quickly come to appreciate and enjoy .the top levels of service and fIscal savings that can be realized from this type of cooperative venture. As the Interim City Manager for the City of San Leandro, I wholeheartedly recommend that the City of Dublin seriously consider contracting with the Alameda County Fire Department for fire protection services. City staff and I will happily make .ourselves available to provide any additional information the City of Dublin may require to demonstrate. the. success of our consolidation with the Alameda County Fire Department.

Ambrose, City Manager City of Dublin 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 Dear Rich: Re: Contract -with the AJameda County Fire Department for Fire Protection The City of San Leandro began contracting with the Alameda County Fire Department for fire service July 1, 1995. The County had completed the consolidation of several other departments a few years earlier, and the City watched the process and evaluated the finished product prior to pursuing the option of contracting for service with the County, The City of San Leandro faced some of the same issues that I am sure your community is evaluating as you proceed through this process. San Leandro residents have a strong identity with the Fire Department and were very concerned about local control ..and maintaining a very high level of service for the residents and business community within San Leandro, We believed that through a contract for service we could maintain the elements of the fire department that were important to the community while taking advantage of the benefits of being part of a larger regional system. To date we have not been disappointed... The County Fire Department has. performed well in maintaining a close working relationship with the City both at the City Council and staff level as well as providing excellent response to emergencies. e~.. . .. As the fiscal challenges facing local government continue to become more difficult, 1 believe that through the development and support of regional delivery models such as the County Fire Department we 610. ~ontinue to . provide--high- levels of service to our communities while controlling the costs of providing these services. . I welcome the opportunity to further discuss our experiences .with ACFD and encourage you to seriously consider the County Fire Department as preferred provider to the City of Dublin.

As with San Leandro, an actual direct cost allocation is proposed whereby the City of Dublin would be charged actual costs for approved major repairs and improvements to buildings and grounds. Each year, as the proposed budget is assembled, an allocation is made based on a percentage approXimation for maintenance of the buildings and grounds. The City will be responsible only for actual costs incurred during the budget year. If major repairs are needed, the City and Department will jointly work out the budgetary impacts and scheduling to facilitate the repairs. ., :1 -;. ACFD is willing to work with the City of Dublin to develop an apparatus ownership program that best meets the City's needs. The issue of apparatus ownership is one that can become very politically sensitive. It is recommended that in the initial stages of the contract relationship, the City retain ownership of the apparatus in order to maintaiD a degree of security for those in the community who might question the viability of a contract relationship. ACFD is prepared to discuss other options as well, Inventory of all apparatus will become part of the contract in order to identifY hems belonging to the City. . 2.1 Apparatus Replacement . An apparatus replacement schedule has been developed based upon the City of Dublin retaining ownership of the following first line apparatus: 2 Type I engines 1 Ladder truck 1 Type IV (patrol) 1 Type ill engine "--" The first year cost to the City is $105,000. The 20-year replacement schedule is shown in Appendix F-I. The City may choose to maintain its own apparatus replacement program as San Leandro has done, or have ACFD budget for apparatus replacement and charge the City .of Dublin accordingly. If the latter option is chosen, a cost would be added to the total cost for provid.ing fire services by ACFD. . ~1 ACFD SECTIqN F - Page 29 1 i : . :> i -I .' .' ." , .., :J :1 .. .. ..

The cost to the City of Dublin is based on actual costs. .costs for Dublin were budgeted based upon query reports for the 1995/1996 fiscal year for San Leandro; the percentage allocation closely approximated the actual cost for this category, See budget for apparatus maintenance in Appendix H-2. . . ,-,-, '.. .: ~ '.

Alternatives by position might include but are not limited to: severance package for the Fire Chief; early retirement/severance package for two of the Battalion Chiefs cligible for retire~ent; . reduced management charge to the City of Dublin in exchange for transfer of the remaining. Battalion Chief to ACFD; and transfers for clerical personnel and administrative assistant to similar positions within either. city. The proposed organization is demonstrated in Exhibit 4. ACID is committed to working on solutions that do not negatively impact any employees. The DepartriJent is concerned, however, that the proposal submitted by ACFD is with the City of Dublin. The City of San Ramon and the San Ramon Valley FPD share responsibility in jointly developing alternatives for the existing employees, and discussions should include all four parties.

Reports may be pulled for all or part of a program to meet audits from any regulatory agency and are utilized by the Training Division in the management of completed and needed training within the Department. Due to its complexity and the personnel issues involved with this type of agreement, ACFD recommends a 5 year term of agreement as a minimum, The Department is willing to discuss other options that might meet the concerns expressed by the City of Dublin. The current agreement ACFD has with the City of San Leandro is for 5 years, and it is general practice that these types of agreements run from 5 to 10 years.. - 5.l-Labor ISsues The process of moving employees from one organization to another brings about a number of labor relations issues between the Firefighters' Unions that can grow into significant meet and confer issues. The Dublin Firefighters have voted to support consolidation with ACFD. The Alameda County Firefighters ~cal 55. and Dublin Firefighters Local 1885 have been. meeting to discuss issues such as seniority integration station assignments, and movement of personnel and there are . no outstanding areas of disagree~ent. These factors alone are significant in the consideration of a service provider as the transitional issues can become major obstacles to the success of a consolidation, 5.2 Assumption of Worker's Compensation Cases . . The Department has a standard policy that all workers' compenSations cases that are open prior to the contract going into effect would be the responsibility of DRF A All workers' comp~sation cases that occur after the date of the contract . ACFD SECI10N G - Page 34 . will be the responsibility of ACID. The medical report will stand as the detenniner as to whether the case is a continuation of an existing injury or a new injury. In the case of the dissolution of DRFA, ACFD is willing to assume responsibility for administering open workers' compensation cases for an additional fee based upon the number of exi.sting cases, 5.3 Existing Retirees :': The San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District is under the Contra Costa County Retirement System, and the City of Dublin has no ~embers in the PERS retirement system. ACID is Willing to assume responsibility for any liability that may exist for current retirees. Any additional fees required to assume this responsibility can - only be detennined after completion of an actuarial to detennine any costs for the retired personnel. It is important to note that the ACFD contract with PERS (Appendix G-4) contains benefits similar to those in the DFRA contract. .-:- 5.4 Retiree Payoff . The Department is currently working with the City of San Leandro to develop a reserve fund whereby contracting jurisdictions and the County will fund .payments to employees upon retirement. . The reserve would be funded on a yearly basis by all contracting jurisdictions based on an actuaiia.I of projected retirements. The . current contract proposal does not reflect the cost the City of Dublin will be required to pay into the reserve fund, ACFD will include. a representative of the City of Dublin as part of the development team. . . .... . ...- ~.:.:..: :.,r -." . . 5~ ACFD SEcnqN G - Page 35 . . . ,-. reo .... .

The department is involved in establishing an extensive community disaster preparedness program. The goal of this program is to prepare the community to care for itself during times of majer disasters because the fire department does not have the resources to respond to all calls for assistance during a major disaster. The department has undertaken a free-of-charge community-wide CPR training program in order to provide this valuable. training to residents of the unincorporated area. The department also has a Public Education program that is active in providing fire prevention information to business, school and community groups. . MAJOR SERVICE AREAS The Fire Department is responsible for providing fire protection and fire prevention services to all the residents of the unincorporated areas of Alameda County, excluding the Fairview area. The departmenfs area of responsibility encompasses a total of 465 square miles and a population of approximately 120,000. These areas range from rural, agricultural and wild land, which poses significant operational challenges to the department in the east and south, to the heavily urbanized areas in the western part of the County. The department provides service to all these areas through contracts with other agencies, or directly provides the service itself. The department staffs eight stations, seven of which are located in the western p~ut of the district and include the . areas of Eden, Ashland, Cherryland, San Lorenzo and Castro Valley. The eighth station is located in the City of Livermore an9 is responsible for the eastern area of the County which includes all the unincorporated areas surrounding Livermore and extending east over the Altamont Pass to the County line. The department maintains several contracts with other agencies including the California Division of Forestry for the SUflol area; the City of Pleasanton for the Remon, Mappy Valley and Castlewood areas; and the City of Hayward for the Mt. Eden area. The department is organized into three divisions: Administration, Operations and Support Services. ADMINISTRATIVE orVISION is responsible for the effective management and coordination of all divisions while overseeing the operations of the entire department The Administrative Division, under the leadership of the Rre Chief, is also responsible for the development and implementation of policies effecting the delivery of fire services in the unincorporated areas, and acts as a liaison to the Board of Supervisors. . ~~ 236 ALAMEDA COUNTY DEPARTMENT SUMMARY -, I'::~ I I'~~~ I I"~ I ~.

During these drills, the crews must leave their respective districts and coverage needs to be provided.. . The Training Division is trying to forecast crew training activities and coverage for each upcoming 9-WEEK Traintng Cycle. With this information the crews can schedule TOURS, RIDE-ALONGS and other activities which require the crews to be in quarters, Every attempt will be made to NOT change the forecasted movements and coverages, There will be fine tuning adjustments made to the actual activities, but these should not impact the movement or standby assignments. To better facilitate ~taffing' and response coverage, there may be a change of location on the assigned movement day. For the month of MAY the following REVISIONS are being made to the schedule: 1. DRILL 762N was erroneously scheduled at the Nike Base, it has been changed to DRILL762C which will be a Lecture/Discussion at the STATION 4 CLASSROOM 2. DRILL 782S will now include a VIDEO TAPE overview of the PacBell switching station hazards, which will be shown at 1000 HOURS at STATION 12, before the the Crews and Battalion Chief participate in a Rre and Evacuation exercise on site at 1330 HqURS. - The total drill time will still be 3 hours, including the video, 3, DRILL 903 for HAZ MATTEAM-1 (3451 & 3472) will be conducted at STATION 12, . DRILL 903 for HAZ MATTEAM-2 (3444 & 3452) will be conducted at STATION 4, This will eliminate the need for coverage at Station 4 by 3445. It will also provide better response coverage in CASTRO VALLEY, while Twin Valley Training and Paramedic Training crews are, out of district, If you have needs for adjustments in the FORECAST Schedule, contact the Training Divsion by the 15th of the month, prior to the fina . monthly schedule. .

This survey was not conducted for property loss prevention or life safety purposes and no life safety or property loss prevention reccmrendations will be made. ..__ The change.:.rran Cl-ass.4-to Class 2';9 may have a favorable'effect on .__,____..__u___._.._-._... residential properties and typical rrercantile properties to a degree depending upon the type of building construction, cx.:::cupancy and other property insurance premium calculations. The change may also reduce property insurance premium calculations for sprinklered properties. This applies only for insurance carpanies using ISO property insurance premium calculations. However, numerous insurance canpanies use other than ISO property insurance premium calculations so that the effect of the change in class may be different for their policy holders, The city classification applies to properties with a needed fire flow of 3500 gpn or less. The private and public protection at properties with larger. needed fire flows are individually evaluated, and may vary fran the city classification. . . . f Page 2 We are attaching a copy of our Classification Details and the results of the hydrant flCMI tests witnessed during our survey.

As you know the cities in our Valley, including Dublin, have been discussing coordinated fire services and the potential fonnation of a joint powers agreement for about three years, Significant preliminary work has already been done to evaluate the benefits of such an arrangement. Livennore and Pleasanton are convinced from this preliminary work that the benefits of consolidating are substantial - so much so that we have joined together to submit our proposal to provide fire services to the City, of Dublin. Currently a variety of fire services are already shared or coordinated here in the Valley. The" Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton are interested in continuing our efforts of creating a consolidated fire system for th~ Valley. Our proposal to provide complete fire services is the next natural step in the transition, We would also be interested and would welcome the City of Dublin as a full member of the joint powers agency we are in the process of fonning. " . ... If you decide to work with the Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton to provide services to the City of Dublin, we commit to completing all necessary work to form the appropriate joint powers agency well in advance of the dissolution of the Dougherty Regional Fire Authority. We look . forward to continuing our cooperative fire service relationship, , . - .' , : . , " We will be happy to answer any questions or provide any further infonnation you may desire, '-: Sincerely, X :;J~ .' ~~a~ " Lee Homer City Manager, Pleasanton City Manager, Livermore -- %~{,J~ ~~'kcr ..

Our Executive Boards and memberships have been kept informed during the discussions regarding management functional consolidation and the Dublin service contract. It is our opinion that it is in the best interest of both our members and the Valley citizens we serve to form one consolidated fire department serving the Twin Valley cities.

The Cities of Livermore and Pleasanton are pleased to submit this proposal to Dublin for the provi- sion of Fire Services, The panner cities will form a Joint Powers Authority Fire Department to pro- vide service to themselves and through contract, to the City of Dublin, .'. .... ", :-'. '.' This proposal is extended to Dublin in the spirit of continued cooperation in the delivery of fire services between Valley cities. This Valley, both geographically and politically has important differ- ences from the rest of the West County area, In a disaster or other significant emergency, integrated Valley emergency resources would be essential. The partners to this proposal feel the time has come to integrate the delivery of fire services between the Valley cities. .~". '. .... ", ," The partners also understand the need for the local customization of some services, Each Valley city is unique and deserves to fine tune emergency services or fire code administration to it's needs. The partners feel that a right-sized, subregional agency can best do that. We do not intend to form a "one size fits all" agency. While it is the intent to fully integrate the workforces and emergency operating procedures, it will still be possible for each City to have an "identity" and local customization of key service level issues. .... Each City Council is responsible to it's citizens for the provision and level of emergency services, Whether Dublin chooses a contract for service or lPA option, only Dublin will set service level poli- cies. An integrated Valley Fire Department will provide outstanding service and economies of scale, while still providing each City local control of service levels, The joint department will advise each City Council on service level options and timing. Either form of partnership will be to provide fire protection services for the Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton areas; its purpose will not be to deter- mine if, when or how any of the three cities approve development within their respective jurisdic- tions. ..' "-w". ":ow' '.' The responding partners have each operated quality, full service fire departments for many decades and their volunteer roots go back over 100 years, As will be explained in detail below, the partner agencies have all the resources today, in the Valley. to provide comprehensive fire services to the City of Dublin, ::. The responding partnerS-wIU also-erithlisrastically support the City of Dublin's commitmentto: · being more user friendly . listening to their customers, providing speed and quality of agency response . the basic understanding that we are here to serve the whole community of Dublin The partners pledge to Dublin that this proposal meets or exceeds all services provided to Dublin today by the Dougherty Regional Fire Authority. In some areas the proposers have facilities, staff or delivery methods that the Authority did not. Twin Valley Fire Proposal I . - - ~ " . . - ","", -. ~ . ~ - " '. :".. :.: ":"". . An important point for Dublin to consider is that this proposal is priced to onlv recover actual ex- penses and actual overhead. Livermore and Pleasanton are not proposing to provide fire services to. make a profit at Dublin's expense. Rather, the proposers feel that through right-sizing and economies of scale. the Valley cities can have excellent fire services at an affordable cost. The price schedule shown in this proposal is our best actual cost estimate, Once selected as Dublin's provider, these COSts can be fine tuned during future detailed negotiations, .. In conclusion. Livermore and Pleasanton want Dublin as a partner because it is the best way to provide integrated emergency services in the Valley, Dublin has other choices for a contract fire provider. The question is does Dublin want just a "contractor", or a true Twin Valley based partner? The Valley cities will always consider the Valley's needs first and foremost. PROPOSING AGENCY BACKGROUNDS Livennore Today the Livermore Fire Department provides multiple services to it's community, Additionally the Fire Chief also supervises the full service in-house Building Department. One Deputy Chief super- vises the fire suppression Division Chiefs, maintaining continuity across the suppression line Divi- sions. He is the Deparunent budget officer, assists in labor relations and is the de-facto second-in- command, In Operations three Division Chiefs each manage a shift on a modified 40-hour week plus . being responsible for one or more management assignments, These assignments are: Training, Emer- gency Medical Services, Citywide Disaster Preparedness, Facilities and Equipment and Community Education Programs. The Fire Marshal is a non-sworn, safety position that reports to the Fire: Chief. He supervises three Fire Inspectors, one Hazardous Materials Coordinator, two clerical staff and is compensated as a Division Chief. The Fire Department is also responsible for the Building Department as a general safety function. The Building Official is a non-sworn, non-safety position that reports to the Fire Chief and is com- ~nsatect as a, Pivision, Chief. He supervises a staff of five Inspectors, one Senior InspectorlPlan Checker, one Plan Check Engineer and four clerical staff. Livermore Fire also staffs a non-sworn Computer and Records System Manager. Her responsibilities include the City Computer-Aided Dispatch System located at the Police Department and the Fire Depanment micro computer wide area network, She also prepares departmental statistical repons and assists on special study projects, .-, CITY of DUBLIN 2 Twin Valley Fire Proposal .. Significant ongoing programs include: prevention programs which include residential sprinklers: becoming a Hazardous Materials Certified Uniform Permit agency; integration with the Building Department; use of Fire Companies in commercial occupancy inspections; frequent public education programs to school and community groups; staffing a first responder Paramedic Program to include one Paramedic per fire crew; and being dispatched by a combined PolicelFire 911 Center, +.":' . .". The current protection area is 24 square miles and has a resident population of 66,000, Total incidents for 1995 were 3,788. Of that, 2,217 or 59% were medical responses, and there were 357 fires repre- senting 9% of the total. A fifth Fire Company became operational in February 1996. Initially located in the Northwest quadrant at Fire Station Two, the City hopes to place it in a temporary facility somewhere near Airway Boulevard and 1.580 by mid 1997. The Department operates four front line Engine Companies, one "Quint" aerial ladder/pumper unit, 5 patrols, two reserve engines, one Type III Brush Engine and one Air and Light Unit. Heavy rescue equipment is carried on several units, ". . :......: ....~ Long-tenn growth will occur in the North Livennore Valley, which, through agreement with the County, will ultimately annex to Livermore for services after a joint planning effort. Given the cur-' rent agreement, housing units south of May School Road could reach 12,000 with a population of 30,000 people. This area also could hold 690 acres of commercial/industrial development with a daytime workforce of up to 12,500. The South Valley plan includes vineyard preservation with seven areas set aside for light residential development. These areas combined could add another 1,500 residential units and a population of 4,200 people to the South Valley, With these additions the buildout population of Livermore could reach 109,000 people, ..-' Pleasanton The Pleasanton Fire Department also provides services in all areas requested by Dublin and operates the. only full-service fire training center in the Valley. Pleasanton's three Division Chiefs work a- modified 40-hour work week and each has specific management assignments; including Administra- tion and Fire Prevention, Operations and Support Services and Training, , . . . "+: Pleasanton provides fire suppression, emergency medical response and other emergency responses to a residential population of approximately 58,000 in an area that encompasses approximately 22 square miles. Pleasanton currently averages 2,700 calls per year, of which 65% are medical in nature. All fire protection and prevention services are provided from three fire stations, two of which are located east of Interstate 680 on Railroad Avenue and Santa Rita Road. The third station is located adjacent to Stoneridge Mall west of Interstate 680, The department is staffed by 55 Firefighters, 4 managers, 2 Fire Inspectors and 1,5 support staff, . The Hazardous Materials Program for Pleasanton is currently administered by one Division Chief and a Contract Hazardous Materials Specialist. The department has submitted a Certified Unified Program Application (CUPA) to the State, CITY of DUBLIN 3 Twin Valley Fire proposal 'w:. . '.'+ Pleasanton is fortunate to own and operate one of the finest training facilities in the state, It is a full scale training facility with classrooms and a six-story training tower. This is an important asset to the Valley as it is the only training facility capable of supporting most day-to-day fire company training. ,. requirements, The facility provides training capacity in such areas as fire attack, driver training, pump testing, flammable liquid controL live fire training, aerial operations and vehicle extrication, ..;.: During the past two years, Pleasanton made a significant effort to upgrade its fleet of emergency response vehicles. Two new Type I Structural Fire Engines and one new Type 3 Wildland/Structural Fire Engine have been purchased. A second new Type 3 Wildland/Structural Fire Engine is being constructed at this time and will be operational by the end of 1996, During 1995, Pleasanton began the installation of an "Opticom" traffic light control system along its primary traffic routes similar to the systems currently utilized in both Dublin and Livermore. The use of compatible traffic light control systems will greatly aid the response times and the safety of the public and fire department personnel while fire units respond to emergencies within the three jurisdic- tions, ,', In early 1996. Pleasanton implemented a non-transport Firefighter Paramedic Program, At the present time, Pleasanton has a total of 12 Firefighter/Paramedics and plans to hire 4 additional Firefighter/ Paramedics in 1996. In July 1996 Pleasanton began utilizing Alameda County Fire Dispatch services, Pleasanton plans to open two new fire stations in the very near future, The first, which is located within the Ruby Hill Development on Vineyard Avenue, will be operational by September of this year and will be staffed with one Engine Company. The property for an additional station is being pur- chased at this time and should be operational within the next two years, This facility will also be staffed with a single Engine Company. .,:-.. ,.... .+.'. ..... Joint Operations: \\ The Valley Fire Departments have a long history of regional cooperation, especially in the areas of mutual aid, training and hazardous materials incident response. All the Valley Departments participate in the Twin Valley Chiefs Training program conducted weekly at the Pleasanton Training Tower, All agencies. including the Lawrence Livermore Lab Fire Department, jointly operate a Level II hazard- ous materials response team. In ,this system all departments provide hazardous materials trained Firefighters, with the Lab, Pleasanton and San Ramon departments providing fully equipped special response units. . ..~ ..

A - INCIDENT RESPONSE Overview This proposal will present several options for Dublin to consider, These ideas are the proposers' alone, Ultimately it is Dublin's choice as to service levels provided within the city limits of Dublin, The options range from a higher level of staffing within Dublin's city limits to options based on Dublin being a "seamless" partner with the other cities and sharing resources and expenses for the common good. If these initial options do not fully meet Dublin's needs, Dublin is free to negotiate with the proposers any service level it would like. As has been pointed out elsewhere in this response, it is the proposers' intent to tailor services to Dublin's needs and civic identity, Fire Suppression :". ~ . '. . . ."w. _ Fire station locations, amount of apparatus and quantity of staffing are, of course, the heart of Dublin \s fire safety commitment to its citizens, In a contract for service (or Valley City JPA), Dublin is in a unique position of being "surrounded" by its partner fire agencies, These resources can be used effi- ciently across all three cities to provide quick, effective resource deployment. Dublin does not have to "stand alone" and deploy within it's City limits enough resources to handle moderate to major emer- gencies by itself. All cities use mutual aid systems for catastrophic emergencies, In fire and emergency medical operations a positive outcome is achieved by the speed, weight and integration ofthe response, Speed is achieved by the "distribution" of fire stations to cover most built- up areas of a city. "Weight" of response is covered by the "concentration" or massing of fire stations close enough together, that in a serious emergency, multiple units can gather quickly enough to stop the emergency from escalating. "Integration" is having one agency with common, standardized proce- dures, equipment and training. Dublin, in its RFP, did not specify arrival times for additional arriving units on a major emergency, such as a house fire. The proposers feel this is just as important in a contract for service as initial arrival times. For each service level option below, the multiple unit times will be listed along with a performance measure of what percentage of the time the contract will deliver that level of effort. For Dublin the distribution and concentration of its Fire Station coverage can be spread out in coop- eration with its partners, should Dublin so choose, Or, Dublin can spend additional funds and provide more capability within its city limits. The level of service and expense question is a policv choice for the Dublin elected officials, As such, the proposers do not want to dictate one method of deployment for Dublin. Rather, we can offer Dublin a reasonable spread of price/performance options from which to make an infonned policy choice, . w"_ ." Twin Valley Fire Proposal 5 .~. ... :.... ,.0'" ..,- ,.".+ .".'

In this section each option will have its performance capabilities defined and how many personnel will be necessary. The options will range in capabilities from those having the most coverage from partner cities, to those providing the most resources within Dublin city limits, . In the Appendix to this proposal are coverage maps showing all fire station locations and their re- spective first-due coverage areas and multiple unit overlaps. Option 1 · Fire Stations: Two: the existing station in central Dublin and opening the Santa Rita Station, First-due unit will arrive in five minutes or less, 90% of the time. · Engine Companies: Two, · Crew Staffing: Three per crew, with a three platoon system, 18 Engine suppression personnel are needed. Vacation and sick coverage would be with overtime that is less expensive than adding additional employees, · Truck Company: One, located in Pleasanton at Fire Station 2 with a three person crew. On a three platoon system, this would normally require nine additional personnel. However, Pleasanton ben- efits from having the Truck always staffed and could re-do its current staffing to make six person- nel available for the truck crews, Dublin would therefore only contribute three additional suppres- . sion personnel. Since Pleasanton and Twin Valley Fire benefit from a West Valley truck company, the Truck would be more centrally located for all high risk areas, plus 580/680 access, at Station #2 near Stoneridge Mall. Pleasanton would then be willing to negotiate a payment to Dublin for a partial value of the apparatus itself. · Total Minimum DRFA Suppression Personnel Needed: 21, · First Alarm Structure Response: Four companies with a minimum of 12 personnel within nine minutes, 90% of the time. The Truck would be in Northwest Pleasanton and depending on the fire's location, the three closest pumpers would respond from Dublin, Pleasanton's Nonhern stations or San Ramon's southern station. As units are committed to a working fire, Livermore would respond a company to a central move-up location, like Hacienda Drive and 1-580, to cover other emergen- cies in the vacated first-due districts.

Note: In all response staffing options the proposers recommend that Dublin use San Ramon Valley Fire District's offer to let the South San Ramon Station corne into Dublin on an "automatic aid" basis, and be dispatched by Dublin's dispatch provider. This is a common sense offer that best uses a station very close to Dublin. This is especially imponant in emergency medical responses. Total Multiple Unit Response Capabilities The following chart was created using the Geographic Information System Maps and response data, It is based on operating two engine companies in Dublin, a truck company from Pleasanton Station 2, and utilizing existing Twin Valley Fire Department units for "Scheduled Response" into Dublin. We can provide outstanding first, second, and third alarm coverage to the City of Dublin. This is from "Scheduled Coverage" not mutual aid or automatic aid. This provides more than adequate personnel to the scene, as well as being able to cover the simultaneous calls that occur. .: . To meet these response times it would require responding units out of Pleasanton's Station 3 for East Dublin calls for service, and Pleasanton's Station 2 for West Dgblin calls. Livermore would move up one or more units to cover vacated first response districts, or respond directly to an emergency in the West Valley, Please refer to the maps located in the Appendix for the location of all Twin Valley fire stations. ~.: ".- CITY of D 1IDLIN Twin Valley Fire Proposal 9 . - ". ~ . .. ---" + Proposed Co\'erage to 90 % of Dublin 5 Minutes 8 Minutes 10 Minutes 16 Minutes 2 Engines 3 Engines 5 Engines 2 Engines - I Truck I DO' + I Truck 100' + I Type 3 Engine I Type 3 Engine I Type 3 Engine I Patrol 2 Patrols 2 Patrols 3 Patrols 1 Fire Investigator I Fire Investigator I Chief Officer I Chief Officer I Chief Officer I Air LtIHM Unit e:-. . -' " " " ' Note: The equipment values are additive in the table, that is for every time block, the equip ment listed are the additional arriving units to the emergency, Emergency Medical Response e"'-'> .- Emergency medical services will be the same as the current fire contractor provides today in Dublin. Starting with Livermore in early 1995, the Valley cities have been upgrading their fire 'company medical capabilities from the emergency medical technician level to that ofpararnedic first responder companies. In this system, one firefighter per crew is trained over 1,000 hours to the paramedic level. Given the good response Urnes of fire apparatus in our cities, this system places a Paramedic at the patient's side within five minutes of being dispatched. To date, Livermore has 12 Paramedics and three completing training, which will provide one per engine crew. Pleasanton has 12 Paramedics with one more in training. The current fire provider to Dublin, (DRFA), has already placed personnel into paramedic training with graduation planned in mid 1997. When this training is completed, all the Valley fire companies will have one paramedic per fIre crew, providing an outstanding level of patient care. In this system, as is today, all transport services are provided by the Alameda County Emergency Medical Services District. In this "hybrid" system with first responder fire medics, the cities can accept longer response times from the spread thin regional system that only staffs three transport ambulances for the Valley's 148,000+ resident population. e:'" CITY of DUBLIN 10 Twin Valley Fire Proposal '.

The pricing in this proposal includes the expenses for equipment. and continuing education to con- tinue Dublin's move into paramedic first responder fire companies, , .' Since DRFA has started Paramedic Training we assume most, if not all, costs have been appropri- ated. This proposal does not include entry level paramedic school costs for Fiscal 97/98. If there are still start-up training expenses that year, we can add those costs during final contract negotiations, ". " Hazardous Materials Response The Valley fire departments participate in a joint hazardous materials response agreement as an ad- dendum to the Twin Valley Mutual Aid Plan. Dublin's current fire provider is a member of this plan and the DRFAHazardous Materials Response Plan is essentially the Twin Valley Plan, All participat- ing agencies operate under a two-level response plan, Level One incidents are managed by local first response engine companies. All agencies including Livermore and Pleasanton have personnel trained at three levels of hazardous materials competency -- First Responder, Technician and Specialist. If the incident is beyond the capabilities of the first-due engine company, the Twin Valley Plan is acti- vated, which is a Level II Response, All participating agencies send Hazardous Materials Techni- cians and Specialists on Engine Companies to the scene. Three of the agencies operate a Hazardous Materials Apparatus - (LLNL Lab Fire, Pleasanton and San Ramon Valley FPD), one or two of which_ is also sent to the incident. Upon arrival all hazardous materials personnel operate together under a common system to mitigate the emergency, Equipment costs are billed back to the spiller by the host agency, , , ", ." .r .; '. ,. ' ", ',' :-'-, This proposal does not change the existing system. The DRFA personnel absorbed by the Twin Val- ley JPA are already trained to the technician and specialist level. Therefore, the City of Dublin will have maintained the required commitment to continue to participate in the Twin Valley Hazardous Materials Response Plan. For incidents in Dublin a Level I response with personnel assigned to the closest engine company would respond, If necessary, a Valleywide Level II activation could then be called. . ~... .,' For the purpose of this bid there is no new or increased cost to Dublin to participate in this plan, In the "Operating and Personnel" sections of the price proposal there are the necessary funds to maintain training and equipment for personnel noted in each option. w'.'. .. : -.. 11 Twin Valley Fire Proposal ;~.. '..,-- -,.- ". +" Rescue Operations All three existing Valley fire depanments today offer basic and heavy rescue services. The proposers' units, ac; well as those in DRFA, are already equipped with the necessary technical rescue equipment. All three agencies today carry the bulk of such equipment on dedicated units, such as Livermore's and DRFA's truck companies and Pleasanton's rescue squads. Additionally, all engine companies carry primary rescue tools including those necessary for basic auto accident extrication. AM person- nel are trained in a wide variety of specialized rescue skills every year. All three depanments send "specialists" to schools to learn the latest methods. These personnel return home to develop proce- dures and to train the balance of the workforce. .. ,'. For this proposal to Dublin these existing procedures would not change. All first responder engine companies would have primary rescue training capabilities and equipment. Heavy rescue units, such as truck companies, would provide heavy rescue capabilities. The joint depanment would be able to quickly merge multiple crews on-scene to handle most conceivable incidents. This would be possible due to common training, procedures and equipment. :.'- .....-- The pricing in this proposal includes this level of service, All necessary personnel, training and tech..: nical equipment costs are included in the operations pricing schedule, ....~ " Mass Casualty Incident Response All Alameda County fire departments operate under a joint Mass Casualty Plan, This plan integrates the response, command Structure used and communication systems between fire departments, ambu- lance companies, hospitals, helicopters and communication centers, All Twin Valley Fire Department personnel have been trained in and use this system. The plan also provides for several regional trail- ers, at County EMS Agency expense, that contain bulk emergency medical supplies, Pleasanton Fire Department houses the Valley equipment trailer. .:... -.+ . ...', ~-: -.. ..' . There are three factors in a mass casualty incident that affect its outcome: the speed, weight and integration of the response. A Twin Valley department provides all three.

The system is integrated because it trains and operates to~ether, Yes, fire departments do provide mutual aid, but the response is fragmented if the command staff, communication systems and person- nel are all from different agencies. No matter how hard agencies try to train to a common plan, separate agencies never execute as smoothly as an integrated one with common systems, personnel and training.

'.':' The proposers have fire prevention personnel trained to a significantly higher level and always have one Fire Prevention Officer on call to back-up the basic level findings of the fire companies and Duty Chief. If the field crews cannot determine the cause or immediately suspect arson, the duty investiga- tor is paged immediately, These Fire Prevention Investigators also have additional training in assist- ing the police and insurance investigators with criminal cases. On severe cases the Fire investigator will pair with the Police member to complete the investigation, This is the method used very success- fully by larger city arson task forces. .'. 0" -. -. ....... ,-. , , :.::.- . - .....

B a DISPATCH Currently, Dublin's fire provider is dispatched by Alameda County's combined Sheriff/Fire Commu- nications Center located in San Leandro, DRFA pays for this service on a per call basis of $21.40, In the current fiscal year for approximately 1,160 calls the cost is $24,824, In July of this year Pleasanton Fire Department also switched to Alameda County Dispatch in ex- change for first response service to County areas in the South 680 corridor. Pleasanton maintains a 911 and computer dispatch system for it's Police Department. " \.- ..., .... Livermore is dispatched for Police and Fire from it's 911 center, which also uses a computer-aided- dispatch system. Additionally, Livermore and Pleasanton co-own and co-operate an 800 MHz public safety radio system, Dublin was included in the FCC 800 MHz license for the Livermore Valley system, but DRFA had to go with the Alameda County, 800 MHz System, because the Valley system could not cover south San Ramon completely, For the time being, the proposers recommend Dublin stay with the Alameda County Dispatch CenteT as two of the three Valley cities use it and receive good service and fair pricing, Livermore Fire, in the short term, would also transfer to Alameda County to ensure integrated Valley fire dispatching, . , .-, .... In the future, the ultimate communication center provider to Twin Valley Fire will need careful re- search, as there are several opportunities and constraints, The current Sheriff's center. while a quality operation in term of personnel. admittedly needs to replace its older computer-aided-dispatch sys- tem, Their current location in San Leandro is close to the Hayward fault. While the County Fire Department has special district funding. the Sheriff is funded through the general fund and an over- ride tax that might not be renewed. or may become prohibited if the Jarvis Initiative is successful in November, Therefore, the financing of an upgrade to this center. or its relocation away from the Hayward fault is unknown at this time. -':::'. , 0 ", ..

':~: .'-.' 15 Twin Valley Fire Proposal ,', ", -. , Therefore. today there is not a perfect affordable dispatch solution, The best option would be for the County to make an upgrade to its system (at their capital expense) and move the center to their new offices in the County Santa Rita complex, The ongoing drawback to the County would be the time delay as the City Police 911 centers take and transfer fire and medical calls to the County fire dis- patch center. Also the city 91 1 centers would still have to serve as the Counry's disaster back-up, If Twin Valley Fire ultimately could be dispatched by either Livermore, Pleasanton or Lab Fire, it would place Valley fire dispatching in the Vallev for disaster preparedness, The dispatchers also would better know the local area, The County Center could then be a back-up for the Valley Center. Such an East and West County, twin center concept would provide the best service and redundancy. The pricing in this proposal includes dispatch services from the Alameda County Sheriff at current pricing. Any change in communication centers in the future by Twin Valley Fire would only OCcur after a careful costlbenefit analysis and the approval of all the partner cities.

Believing so strongly in public education at early ages, this year Livermore joined its Fire Department data network with Livermore Unified School District's, This provides electronic mail between all fire Captains and school personnel avoiding long rounds of phone tag, This year Livermore received a national grant to test education materials for pre-school children. This program was very well received and is being considered for expansion. Livermore also uses a "public education committee" that manages all the programs and public events and provides a group of individuals with higher training that help the fire companies or are available to speak at large events, ....

This response. based on the level of service the City of Dublin seeks, maintains its existing level of fire prevention and offers increased technical assistance to Dublin. The proposers need to stress that Dublin will be the one to set prevention policies and adopt fire codes to meet its unique needs and business climate, A brief summary of fire prevention activities for Dublin is outlined below. " , ." -.-. . ." Current delivery of fire prevention for any city is divided into two basic areas. The first is day-to-day business activities in several areas, including, but not limited to, new construction inspection. permit- ted occupancy inspections, plan check. records and permit fee systems, response to selected fire! hazardous materials incidents. community public education and response to various other fire pre- vention community needs. The second activity area is fire prevention management and code administration. These activities include technical code interpretations. design of fire prevention standards, predevelopment project planning review, oversight of code issues related to other city departments. such as Building, Plan- ning and Engineering, annual weed abatement administration, fireworks program administration" hazardous materials regulatory oversight related to the fire code, community public education pro- gram design and other management interactions normally associated with fire preventionlhazardous materials issues. -.-.- Additionally, there are overlapping areas with fire suppression/fire operations, These include fire code technical training related to inspection services. public education program delivery, hazardous materials inspection/response awareness plus fire cause and investigation protocols. .- At PreDevelopment Planning '.

Management of the program includes a detailed program specification review, prepara- tion of documentation for submittal to Dublin's City Council, oversight of inspection staff. and certification following program completion. Fee Collections Integration of fee collection and receipt documentation with the proposers may be necessary. Initial system activity would be maintained by the Dublin Fire Prevention branch, including clerical sup- port. e:;'. CITY of DUBLIN 20 Twin Valley Fire Proposal Other Fire Prevention Programs ~.' ~: ,:. . The current service uses fire suppression personnel for pre-fire plan building familiarization and non-sworn fire inspectors conducting higher category permitted occupancy inspection and plan re- view, This would remain unchanged. The proposers can also provide technical support related to hazardous materials training- and fire prevention inspection practices, Livermore has on its fire prevention staff a Hazardous Materials Coordinator with a B,A. in Chemistry, Career development training in the field of fire prevention and hazardous materials inspection are available through other established programs. Fire prevention training and education programs are supported by present staff's technical expertise in plan check, inspection practices, State Fire Mar- shal certifications, proactive training and education. Economic Development Coordination ::f The proposers feel they excel at being business friendly, while maintaining appropriate engineering: education and enforcement practices. We strive to assist city Economic Development Coordinators in attracting new businesses to our Valley. We recognize fire prevention can actually assist in getting new businesses to consider the Valley, This is evidenced by Livermore and Pleasanton being increas- ingly attractive to the semi-conductor and bio-tech industry who know they need code experts to facilitate their permitting, where some cities unduly delay them with a lack of expertise. Pleasanton has a positive development review process, Pleasanton's Building Department is a key player in economic development as evidenced by high customer satisfaction results in surveys con- ducted by the City's Economic Development Committee. Pleasanton has a reputation for being willing to facilitate the timely processing of developer applications. In Livermore, the Fire Chief manages the Building Department and is currently the "Process Owner" in the second phase of a massive re-engineering effort to streamline permitting and open a true "one stop" permit center. Dublin should have no doubt that the Livermore and Pleasanton staffs have "religion" when it comes to being business friendly while using common sense and streamlined methods. Required Fire Prevention Personnel The minimum staff needed to maintain the present fire prevention program is: . Two DRFA non-sworn fire inspectors · One DRFA clerical support position, full-time · One Joint Division Chief/Fire Marshal . ~. . + '-.,~ ...~ CITY ofDUDLIN I ,,,, Twin Valley Fire Proposal 21 ":. . ~ ~ ~:: ~ :~ .-. ::," .... :-.". ,.. ..' ..'

The Division Chief/Fire Marshal will spend approximately on Dublin activities: · 2 hours/week average - Predevelopment planning meetings · 2 hours/week average - Fire prevention management supervision The base pricing plan for fire prevention includes the following estimates for Dublin specific pro- grams: · Program Specific Costs noted in the RFP response · Weed Abatement Management - 64 hours/year · Fire works Program Management - 40 hours/year · Hazardous Materials TraininglEducationlInspection Support - 2 hours/week average · Plan Check/Inspection Management Support - 2 hours/week average If a business needed special hazardous materials or fire protection systems plan review, it would be billed to the customer at $90 per hour, The base pricing for fire prevention also assumes use of Dublin city hall space for two fire inspectorS and one clerical position. The base price does not include any facilities charge by Dublin for this space. CITY of DUBLIN Twin Valley Fire Proposal 22 e e; :-+: '. '... ~. ". . E - ADMINISTRATION . +". Liaison to Ciry Manager The proposers, of course, desire a close liaison to the City of Dublin administration. We propose two levels of coordination for Dublin. The Twin Valley Fire Depanment lPA will utilize a committee of the two City Managers to provide ongoing policy linkage to and from the City Councils. We feel this is an important link in the overall management of fire operations, " ...... ".;r.,- For the City of Dublin contract, the City Manager of Pleasant on, Deborah Acosta, will be the primary '.: contact at the City Management level on an as-needed basis, ' .', .. ".

Chief Gary will attend the weekly City Department Directors meetings, Chief Carlson will attend the weekly Community Development Project Review Commit- tee meetings. . - . .." ..... .. . ~ .'.- . ."" : "..;.". Records and Reports . -.- ...... The base price proposal includes offering Dublin the same data and reports it is used to receiving today, The current provider has an excellent computer records system that is tied to its dispatch provider in Alameda County. Pleasanton will probably move to this system in the coming year, Livermore uses it's aging computer-aided-dispatch System for incident reports and statistics. ~. ~ ~'': - - ..... The base pricing in this proposal assumes Dublin will keep DRFA's computer reports system" The pricing includes hardware maintenance, software license and data lease lines. The proposers will use it for the time being for Dublin specific reponing, while the other two partners probably move to Dublin's type of system. CITY of DUBLIN Twin valley Fire Proposal 23 C:..r. ':.:: :. Fireworks Administration The current program would be unchanged. The present fire prevention inspection personnel will be utilized to suppon the program as established, Fire Complaints & Public Infonnarion The current system would be evaluated and an acceptable methodology for managing complaints related to fire hazards would be established. As some are not necessarily related to fire hazards only (such as junk cars, abandoned household appliances, home business occupations, etc,) coordination with other City departments will be necessary. Close liaison with and complaint status updates will be made to the Dublin City Manager's office, Any complaint needing policy input will be reviewed by the Fire Marshal, Fire Chief and if necessary the Dublin City Manager, Dublin Corporate Identity The proposers know this is imponant to every partner city. We look forward to helping Dublin refine an image for its new provider to replace the positive image DRFA had, The Twin Valley Fire Chief' and senior staff would assist the Dublin City Manager with this process. .~ '.-" We suggest as a place to start that Dublin keep its own identity on the fire apparatus. While it is " imponant to form one workforce culturally with items like common badges, patches and titles, the '..,' pU~dliC does nbot usually notice these items, They do notice the fire apparatus that pulls up to their . ~{ reSl ence or usiness, Printed department information and education materials should clearly display Dublin City identity for Dublin clients, along with the appropriate names and phone numbers for Twin Valley Fire staff. A customer service philosophy and omwing training program is mandatory. While Dublin may have "_ an existing program the Twin Valley Fire Department could use, it would be best for the Depanment to develop a new one reflecting the needs of all three cities. Currently both Livermore and Pleasanton are evualating their customer service capabilities. Livermore is currently hiring a customer service trainer and developing programs for all city staff, Pleasanton's customer service committee is releas- ing their final report this month. Following the conclusions of both partners current efforts to develop new customer service programs, a joint program will be implemented throughout Twin Valley Fire, including personnel assigned to Dublin. CITY of D UE>1IN 24 Twin Valley Fire Proposal " . .', :;" ..,. F - FACILITIES '.- ..' ~~ -.. '. Buildings The RFP states that Dublin will probably retain ownership of the fire stations, We agree, The pricing proposal includes the normal annual cost of operating the buildings, cleaning them and doing minor repair such as small plumbing leaks, Dublin as "owner" will be responsible for the safety arid upkeep of major building systems such as the structure, roof. air conditioning and overhead apparatus doors, Dublin should also insure these buildings as owner, The actual split of responsibility can be deter- mined during final contract negotiations, Equipment A. Existing Equipment The RFP states that Dublin is unsure as to equipment ownership until the San Ramon details are worked out. The proposers recommend that Dublin maintain ownership of all capital assets including fire apparatus and capital equipment such as rescue tools and computers, The proposers will maintain this equipment, insure it and recommend a re- placement cost within our operating budget.., , ..... Maintenance: The current provider has a contract with Livermore's new modem fleet maintenance center for all vehicle repairs. DRFA has been happy with the service, Livermore has fire apparatus trained mechanics, and uses state-of-the-art computer sys- tems to schedule preventive maintenance and analyze fleet costs. For this proposal the Dublin contract vehicles would continue to be maintained by the Livermore Fleet Center, This would provide continuity of maintenance records and costs. The expense for this contract is included in the base price of this proposal, ." ~. B. Replacement Equipment In the current DRFA budget it appears there are funds for a fleet replacement "rental" or annual replacement payment. This is a good idea given the cost of capital fire apparatus. The base price proposal includes an approximated amount for this item. After the San Ramon details are worked out, the actual age and size of the fleet left to Dublin will create the final budget number. This figure can then be updated during final budget negotiations between the proposers and Dublin. Another cost saving area for Dublin is in the area of reserve apparatus. These can be shared systemwide and possibly the entire Valley reserve fleet can be reduced, producing savings for all three cities. .. Twin Valley Fire Proposal 25 G - MISCELLANEOUS Assumption of Existing Personnel . In the staffing and response options section of this proposal we use the term "Engine Cpmpany", which in this proposal is defined as a minimum of three career personnel consisting of a Captain, Engineer and Firefighter. On the basis of a service level selected by Dublin, the crew staffing could increase to include a fourth Firefighter part of the time (when there is no vacation or sick leave), or could include a fourth Firefighter full time, using overtime for vacation/sick absences, Dublin needs to make the policy choice on service levels and associated expenses, Three personnel per company is adequate most of the time, four personnel per company is of course desirable, if economics permit and the workload is present. In determining how many personnel would be absorbed from the DRFA, take the total personnel in an option, and factor in one Captain and Engineer per crew. Thus in the 24-person Option #2, there would be six Captains, six Engineers and twelve Firefighters. " - '. ' ~. .... - The proposers would of course like to assist Dublin with placing all the remaining DRFA personnel with the Twin Valley Fire Department. Depending on the level of service selected by the Dublin Council, however, as outlined in our station and staffing options, placement of all suppression per- sonnel might be difficult. If only a few fire suppression personnel are not placed, Livermore and Pleasanton currently have four to six suppression vacancies. These openings could be used to finish ." absorbing the remaining DRFA personnel, if an agreement could be reached in the next few months. We could also offer under PERS rules, early retirements to personnel Valleywide to make room in the new joint workforce. Dublin could also work with other large Alameda area fire departments such as Fremont, Alameda County and Oakland to see if they could absorb any employees that Dublin does not wish to carry forward. The proposers also desire to absorb the two Fire Prevention Inspectors for the additional Dublin workload. However, the proposers, given the options presented before, do not need the other admin- istrative staff including some clerical, Chief Officers and the Administrative Assistant. The solution with the additional overhead and support staff is for Dublin to approach them as all the cities proposed in putting together the Fire Management Functional Consolidation JPA. In that pro- posal, the overhead staff in all three agencies were to be given a job until natural attrition or early retirements available under PERS naturally downsized the joint workforce to the appropriate final SIZe. ..~ CITY of DllliLIN Dublin could also do this under a contract for service option to the Twin Valley Fire JPA. After Dublin picked a service option and partner agencies used existing vacancies to absorb what they could, Dublin then could pay for the "excess" line and/or staff positions until the Twin Valley Fire Department naturally "right-sized" itself. . 26 Twin Valley Fire Proposal --.. /: It is the intent of the proposers to form one workforce with common wages, hours and working conditions, This will be accomplished through the appropriate meet and confer process under Cali- fornia law, The three existing International Association of Firefighter's Union Locals will follow IAFF bylaws to fonn one Local, As the letter from the leadership of the Livermore and Pleasanton Locals in the Introduction indicate, the Locals are committed to this process, The end result will be expanded and common career opportunities for all personnel throughout the Twin Valley Fire Department. It is the intent of the proposers that while each City retains a sense of "corporate identity" and customized services, the workforce and management teams need to become one to offer truly seamless service. Insurance Each of the proposer cities uses a combination of self-insurance and participation in an insurance JPA for excess coverage, Currently the cities belong to different insurance JPA's. Under this proposal Dublin would continue to insure any capital assets that it retains ownership of such as fire stations. The proposers will insure the remaining equipment, personnel and operations through their current insurance resources, The proposers currently self-insure lower amounts, before turning to the JPA" coverage. If Dublin does not, then the insurance cost factor can appropriately be increased during final contract negotiations, ::,. The pricing of this proposal includes the necessary operational insurance and for some capital equip- ment. If during final negotiations, Dublin changes what it will retain ownership of, the insurance price change will be small and easily adjusted. - , . .'- ..... , . . . Training ..... Presently, fire department industry training standards require maintenance of firefighting skills and specific m~?datory training for all employees who may be exposed to dangerous environments or health risks, :..- ~: ,- . ... Typically, the highest priority training is funded in the Fire Department and other training is ad- dressed on an as-needed basis. Prioritizing training needs are described as: those that must happen because of federal and state mandates, those that need to happen to meet the Depanment's priorities, and those that happen because of community needs. Because of the number of subject areas in training, it is not possible for a single individual to have the expertise in all aspects of the fire service. Fire departments have created a cadre of specialists in various areas of skills. These specialists provide in-service instruction and manipulative training for their specialized skills, When an in-house instructor is not available for a specific area, the training program provides a qualified outside contractor to meet the requirements, '" .". . ::. .> CITY of D lIBLIN 27 Twin Valley Fire Proposal :,". ...., -, :. . ... +. ~ ~.>..' , .. -.". ...... To maintain basic fire fighting skills proficiency, an annual skills maintenance program is prescribed in quarterly maintenance requirements, The training plan is designed to require the supervising of- ficer of each fire company to be responsible for the basic skills level proficiency of each company member. When a supervising officer observes a deficient area, training of that skill is to be prescribed outside of the normal training calendar. The intent is to interpret the mandated training of basic skills as those that must meet a level of understanding and proficiency in the required area. e<. , ' The proposers follow these precepts and provide ~utstanding training to their respective departments today. It would not be difficult to increase the existing programs to cover the fire companies assigned to Dublin. Additionally, the personnel currently assigned to DRFA also have competent training and several have technical specialties that would further enhance the Twin Valley training programs, '::'. ,.' The other training component that no other provider can offer is the state-of-the-art Fire Training Center in Pleasanton. It is one of the best in Northern California and the only one of its kind in Alameda County. The center provides a training tower, live fire burn rooms, classroom with multi- media, drafting pit, driving area. confined space rescue prop and satellite television link. All multi-company training would occur at this facility, close to Dublin. As fire companies are ro- tated to the center for training, other fire companies would cover their districts. " The pricing in this proposal includes this level of service, All necessary personnel, training and tech- nical equipment costs are included in the operations pricing schedule, The tables found in the appendix outline the proposers' required training subjects and the typical annual hours spent on each competency in order to maintain proficiency. e< . , ,,- Tenn of Agreement :: .". . .' , It is the intent of the proposers to form a true partnership where all partners will benefit, instead of just treating Dublin as a "client." Towards this goal we propose multiple year agreements with op- tions for renewal. For initial contract terms, we propose a two-year initial commitment, with options for two, five-year extensions beyond that. We also feel a one calendar year notice to caned the contract would benefit both parties. The overhead rate would be adjusted, if appropriate, every two years as Livermore and Pleasant on have now gone to two-year budgeting and try for multiple year labor agreements. ....... Ow. ." The proposers are open to suggestions from Dublin during final negotiations to what works best in its other contracts. Again, we want the partnership to work for Dublin, in the best interests of all the Twin Valley Cities. eo. .,." . CITY of D lJBLIN 28 Twin Valley Fire Proposal ,.-. ,::- .

CONCLUSION The proposers know this is a difficult. yet exciting time for Dublin to decide its future for fire protec-. tion delivery. Dublin is in a good position to build on the work already developed over the last three years on the functional consolidation of Valley city fire service management. We continue to ac- knowledge the need for efficient. effective consolidation of fire service delivery. The rea,sons to do this are not just cost containment, but the improved operations a joint effort would bring, While consolidation is a good idea, the size of it must be carefully considered regarding political oversight and the size of the operation, Large organizations can also grow inefficient with layers of overhead and support services. A subregional consolidation would be the most effective and efficient in meeting the Valley's unique geographical and political needs, Livermore and Pleasanton do be- lieve that the three Valley Cities can share fire services very effectively in the proposed subregional consolidation, We recognize that Dublin may be concerned the Twin VaIIey Joint Powers Fire Agency is not yet fuIIy formed, However, we consider this a unique opportunity rather than a detriment. Dublin wil' have the advantage of helping to define the new organization as either a member JPA panner or as an agency to which Contract service is provided. Under either option, the Twin Valley Joint Powers Fire Agency is committed to completing all the necessary work to fonn the agency by January 1997, Should Dublin choose to panner with Livermore and Pleasanton either in a contract option or a IPA, these are the key benefits: . · Local control by Valley elected officials and staff to best determine appropriate service levels, · Local control of costs, including support and overhead. · Fire resources would serve the panner cities' approximately 150,000 residents first, without being drawn away from the cities for other pressing Alameda County concerns, · Quality local personnel who know these cities, and have spent much of their careers here. The Chief Officers all live in the Valley cities and respond to major emergencies immediately. " , .', · There are three factors in an emergency incident that affect its outcome: the speed, weight and integration of the response, A Twin Valley Department provides all three. We would be able to quickly combine 12 Engines, two Trucks, one Light/air unit and two Duty Chiefs in an integrated system from within the Vallev. · The Twin Valley Fire Depanment would not rely on resources from the West County over increasingly congested 1-580, that can be significan_ tly impacted and even closed during a disaster, . " ' 30 Twin Valley Fire Proposal ~>. The system will be integrated because it trains and operates together across all three cities. Yes, fire departments do provide mutual aid. but the response is fragmented if the command staff. communi- cation systems and personnel are all from different agencies, No matter how hard agencies try to train to a common plan. separate agencies never execute as smoothly as an integrated one with common systems, personnel and training. A professional sports or military team does not field the offense and defense from different partners. so why should the Twin Valley cities? . ;'.''- ,','. .' . .' .". ... '-' -.- .

These maps clearly show the outstanding coverage of the three cities when all the resources are pooled for immediate, coordinated coverage. Map #1: This exhibit shows existing stations in Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton. Currently two stations house two companies each: Pleasanton #1 (l20l on map) and Livermore Station #2 (1302 on map). Map #2: This exhibit is the same as Map #1 . the southern station in San Ramon is displayed, showing it's coverage into Dublin. San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District has offered Dublin the continued use of this resource on an automatic aid basis, which is especially beneficial for medical emergencies. .... Map #3: . ..... -;.' This exhibit adds to the stations displayed in the fIrst two maps the future relocations of two stations. The second company at Pleasanton Station #1 is moved to the northeast as Station #4 (1204 on the map). Also Pleasanton Station #1 is shown relocated southwest of the current downtown site into the new San Francisco land development The map also shows Livermore relocating it's Company #5 to Airway Boulevard and 1-580 (1305 on the map). ... . , " Both Maps #2 and #3 show not only excellent first-due unit coverage in the core of all three cities, but also good overlap coverage in all three core areas, which shows the excellent multiple unit coverage Twin Valley Fire has for First Alann assignments and the handling of simultaneous calls for service. .

Twin Valley Fire Department DATE: September 9, 1996 TO: Richard Ambrose, Dublin City Manager Stewart Gary, Fire Chief ~ Respome and Clarifications to Twin Valley's Fire Proposal FROM: SUBJECT: TI1is document serves to fonnally amend the Twin Valley Fire proposal dated August 15, 1996, as discussed in our meeting of September 6, 1996, in which Dublin proposed a variation of Twin Valley service Option Two. Unless otherwise noted in this addendum, all other details in the August 15th proposal remain for Dublin's consideration. L Station Staffing Dublin would pay for a total of 24 line personnel in three fire stations distributed as follows: A. Dublin Station One - Donohue Drive One (1) Four person Eneine Company with Air and Light Unit per day requiring: 3 Captains 3 Engineers 3 FirefighterlParamedics 9 Total personnel funded by Dublin 3 Firefighters (Provided by Twin VaUey Fire) 12 Total personnel assigned to this station B.

One (1) Three person I.ol&k Company per day requiring: 3 Captains 3 Engineers n Total personnel funded by Dublin 3 Firefighters (Provided by Twin Valley Fire) 2 Total personnel assigned to this station D. Re&ponse EQuipment 1. Pleasanton Air & Light unit would be relocated to Dublin Station One and staffed by one"Firefighter for structure fire responses in the West Valley. 2. DRFA Truck Company would be relocated to Pleasanton Station Two and jointly staffed by Dublin and Twin Valley Fire. 3. Each Dublin station would also house one Patrol Unit for wildland responses. 4. Equipment Costs - . · Pleasanton would negotiate a "buy-in" for the DRFA Ladder Truck based on the remaining useful life of the unit · Dublin would negotiate a "buy-in" for the Pleasanton Air and Light Unit based on the remaining useful life of the unit 5. The Twin Valley Proposal assumes that Dublin will provide at a minimum the following DRFA equipment: 2 - Type I Engine I . 1995 Ladder Truck 1 - 1986 Patrol 1 - 1996 Type ill Engine 2 - Inspector Vehicles 1 - 1994 Command Vehicle . CITY of DUBLIN 2 Twin Valley Fire PropDsal . . Response and Clarifications to Twin Valley's Flte Proposal September 9, 1996 The remaining equipment will be looked at for absorpation by Twin Valley mechanics in lieu of existing reserves. If the equipment is not negotiated over to Twin Valley, Dublin can of course sell it. It would appear that at a minimum Dublin will not need one Type I Engine. the reserve ladder truck and some support vehicles. E. Overtime for Minimum Staffine and Emer~ency Call-Back Dublin will pay for it's share of overtime based upon Dublin's share of line positions (24) to the total number of line staff in Twin Valley Fire. F. Assumption of DouehertY Reeional Fire Authority CDRFA) Personnel Dublin would fund 24 line positions through it's contract with Twin Valley Fife. Cur- rently. Twin Valley Fire has at least six (6) line vacancies. These openings will be offered to DRFA personnel. While exact details are subject to Meet and Confer. this offer will take into account the seniority time. vacation and sick leave balances of the DRFA per- sonnel transferring to Twin Valley Fire either by Dublin contract or Twin Valley vacancy absorption. During fmal contract negotiations. a fair formula will be developed for Dublin to cover the unfunded liability for sick balances. vacation balances and open worker's compensation cases for all DRFA personnel transferring to Twin Valley Fire. .. .. ' Thus. 3D of the current J2 DRFA line personnel can be taken from DRFA (Dublin). plus the two Fire Inspection and one Clerical positions listed in the August 15th RFP response. For the two remaining line personnel. Dublin will carry their total compensation expense until such time as Twin Valley Fire has openings for them. During the "carry" period. Dllblin will be given a credit for the overtime saved by using these two positions as vaca- tion and sick relief. The "carry" time for Dublin should not be long. Twin Valley has two other medical cases pending (which could be resolved by June 30.1997) with line person- nel and several other personnel are over age 50 and close to retirement. ':>'. .-", " \.~. G. Emereency Response Schedule The Appendix Table in the August I Sth Twin Valley proposal shows the units dispatched to different calls for service. including Chief Officers. The basic response to a medical incident is one Engine Company and to a structure fire three Engine Companies. One Truck Company and one Duty Chief. The operational concept that decides which unit responds to any call for service is that of closest unit. That is. city limits do not determine which Company responds to any inci- dent in Twin Valley Fire's service area. Any call for service will receive the closest avail- able Twin Valley Fire unit or a closer unit from an automatic aid partner agency such as San Ramon Valley Fire Department.

Response and Clarifications to Twin Valley's rue Proposal September 9, 1996 ID. Other Tenns, Conditions and Understandings A. Actual Costs It is agreed that Dublin will pay actual costs for all service areas, including unforeseen contingencies and emergencies, except for the allocated personnel areas in the Fire Pre- vention section and for overhead charges. If, during final contract negotiations or later, an accounting system is developed and agreed to, these areas can also be direct expensed. B. Employee Hirin~ As stated in our RFP response, all DRFA personnel crossing over to Twin Valley Fire will .,- be employed by one employer and be part of one workforce with equal employment rights and career opportunities. C. Future Ability to Join Twin Valley Joint Powers Authority The Twin Valley partners agree that the City of Dublin can reserve the right to join the Twin Valley Fire Department Joint Powers Authority during the term of it's first contract with Twin Valley Fire. At that time Dublin's buy-in, if any, and it's cost allocation formula will be negotiated in good faith. D. Term of A~reement ". ~ The Twin Valley partners agree to a first contract term of five years with Dublin, with options for two five year renewals. During final contract negotiations for the first contract, an acceptable re-opener clause will be agreed to by the parties. E. DRFA Battalion Chiefs The Twin Valley Fire partners would absorb the existing DRFA Battalion Chiefs, if it were feasible. However, we do not have Chief Officer openings at this time. It is unknown how many openings will exist in the near term. While we have a number of Chief Officers close to retirement, we intend to continue towards the final organization chart proposed in the Valley Fire Chiefs Consolidation Report of late 1995. Therefore, even if some Valley Fire Managers retire, all positions may not be replaced, or be replaced with Chief Officers. CITY of DUBLIN 5 Twin Valley Fire Proposal Response and Clarifications 10 Twin Valley's rue Proposal September 9, 1996 Therefore, if Dublin desires continued employment for their Chief Officers, they need to fund those Chief Officers until such time as they can be absorbed by Twin Valley. During this period that Dublin "carnes" these Chief Officer positions, if Twin Valley Fire needs a Chief Officer, it will hire one or more of the remaining DFRA Chief Officers from Dublin. . .:.". F. lime to Complete A~reements Livermore and Pleasanton agree to complete all necessary labor agreements and obtain final City Council approvals of the Joint Powers Authority by February I, 1997 in order for Dublin to be assured that contract fire service can commence by July I, 1997. IV. Requested Clarifications to Twin Valley RFP Response A. Wildland - Brush Response Covera~e The response to this type of incident will be the same throughout Twin Valley Fire Department's service area. Each Fire Station will house one Patrol unit or Type m Wildland Engine for grass response. Patrol units respond with two personnel and Type m Engines with three personnel. The Response Matrix chart irl Twin Valley's RFP Appendix shows the amount of equip- . ment dispatched for each incident type. Anywhere in Twin Valley, including Dublin, a minimum of one Patrol and one Engine will be dispatched to small grass fire incidents. This response will be upgraded to include additional units based on location of incident, size of the fire as initially reported and weather hazards. For example, a fire reported in the city core or foothills area would receive the closest fire station including both the Engine and Patrol Units. Upon anival, the crew can use the Engine for structure protection or the Patrol for direct fJre attack in the grass area. During hazardous weather days or based on the initial size of the fire, from one to four of the closest stations will be initially dispatched. Of course Twin Valley Fire will have mutual and automatic aid agreements with all surrounding agencies including the California Division of Forestry. Through these agreements which all agencies in Eastern Alameda County belong to today, special- ized equipment and additional resources can be brought in for major wildland inci- dents. . CITY of DUBLIN 6 Twin Valley Fire Proposal . . . ~ CITY ofDUE>LIN Response and Clarifications to Twin Valley's Fue Proposal September 9, 1996 B. Duty Chief Covera~e The Response Matrix chart in Twin Valley's RFP Appendix shows the amount of equip- ment dispatched for each incident type, including Duty Chief Officers. It is important on serious incidents to immediately and simultaneously dispatch a command officer. Duty Chiefs provided the necessary command and safety link when multiple Fire Companies are operating. At a minimum then a Duty Chief is part of the initial dispatch on structure fires, heavy rescues, brush fires, aircraft emergencies (Livermore Airport - on or off the field), mutual aid responses and hazardous materials incidents. Chiefs can be special called anytime by an Engine Company and more Chiefs are always dispatched as incidents require addi- tional alanns of companies, In Twin Valley Fire, Division or Battalion Chiefs work a modified 40 hour work week schedule. A Chief is assigned to each one of the three line platoons - A, B and C. On the day their platoon is on duty, including weekends and holidays, the Chief works a 10 hour day in the office and fire stations. The Chief takes home a marked emergency response vehicle at the end of the office day and dispatch pages him to respond at the same time as the companies. In between "duty days", the Chief works an 8 hour administrative day on assigned projects and programs under their management areaS of responsibilities. Currently in Livermore and Pleasanton there are ten (10) Chief Officers including the two Fire Chiefs who all live within the city limits of the two cities. There is always a back-up Duty Chief on call with a vehicle. On major emergencies the Deputy Chief and Chief of Department respond. Therefore during the day or evenings and weekends it is not a prob- lem to immediately dispatch enough- Chief Officers for command and control. Given the Chiefs' office locations and residency in the cities of Livermore and Pleasanton, Dublin will receive the first Chief Officer within nine (9) minutes 80% of the time. 7 Twin Valley Fire Proposal . . .

CA 94550 Dear Chief Gal)', As per your request, this letter is intended to communicate the District's position on automatic aid (auto. aid) , to the Oty of Dublin fire provider, after OUT annexation process is c.ompJeted, As you are aware. this District will be occupying the Fircrest station July 1, 1997. As previously stated. this District is willing to enter into an auto-aid agreement that ' would provide service to that area immediately adjacent to tbat station. This area is identified in the agreement with Alameda County Fire as part of their response to the City of Dublin's R.F.P.. By direction from my Board of Directors. this agreement is to be an, "as availabIs agreement". based on humanitarian needs. That is. if our quieter response can significantly impact the emergency situation and provide vital assistance to those in need. then our units will re.spond. Other assistance can be:. provided through nonnal mutual aid agreements. ne agency pt'cMcting fire protection to the City of Dublin must be willing and able to respond, in kind, to the needs of our agency as well. I hope this communicates our position adequately. Obviously. if the City of Dublin selects an agency other than Alameda County Fire, agreements will have to be drawn up and signed with that agency, but the bas:is of the agreements will remain the same. If you have any questions, please give me a call. ~e flllIY'/) .~k ill DU cher Fire Chief TOTAL P.132 . .
