Rankin, Assistant City Manager) EXHIBITS ATTACHED: Exhibit 1 : Site Plan Exhibit 2: Preliminary Layout First Floor Exhibit 3: Preliminary Layout Second Floor (Architect will have additional material and displays vailable at the meeting. RECOMMENDATION: Receive presentation by Architect and Staff; ask questions; review, and approve the proposed exterior color scheme; and direct Staff to continue working with DRFA to finalize the project. FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The project is funded entirely by DRFA Capital Fees. The current design estimate is within budget. The estimated construction cost is approximately $1 , 456, 186, including contingencies. DESCRIPTION: The Dougherty Regional Fire Authority (DRFA) is currently underway on the development of construction documents to replace the existing station in the City of Dublin. The current facility is undersized and it has structural damage which is unacceptable given the potential for an earthquake. Process The DRFA Board of Directors reviewed and approved the site layout, as well as preliminary schematic plans. Due to the City of San Ramon having administrative responsibility for DRFA, these meetings have been held in the City of San Ramon. In the typical development process, the only required review of the building design is at a Staff level. The City Staff have completed a Site Development Review and the project will conform with the recommended conditions. Since the fire station is a public building, Staff believed that it would be appropriate to have the Architect complete a presentation for interested Dublin residents and the Dublin City Council. The Architect is also interested in receiving feedback and input on the proposed color scheme recommended for the exterior treatment. Site Layout The project site will provide DRFA with an opportunity to improve on the operation of a fire station at this location, as well as lessen the impact on neighboring properties. A copy of the Site Plan is attached as Exhibit 1 . The project site includes the existing station, as well as a portion of the vacant parcel located to the south (Erik's Deli, etc) . The additional property required has already been purchased by DRFA. The proposed site layout improves access to the station by Emergency vehicles. Currently, the fire engines must back into the vehicle bay. This disrupts traffic on Donohue Drive and also results in noise in an area where the adjacent properties are residences. The new configuration will allow the truck to drive in a loop into the vehicle bay. This also provides increased safety for DRFA personnel. The site will also be improved through the installation of a precast concrete or block wall on all sides except the area adjacent to Donahue Drive. The facility will accommodate a total of 20 vehicles in the parking lot. This includes a Handicapped Parking Space required by State law. At shift change, there could be as many as 16 vehicles at the location. In order to accommodate ---------------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: Chris Ford, RRM Design Group Gordon Swanson, Acting Fire Chief ITEM N0. L30.2 CITY CLERK Olt O fr- LAC b A visitors or adminisU. eve staff at the same _ime, 20 spaces were considered by DRFA Staff to be a minimum capacity. The site layout is also designed to accommodate fire apparatus up to 110 feet in length. Although this size of vehicle is not currently in use, DRFA did not want the station construction to preclude this in the future. The fuel tank is an above ground tank which will be relocated from its current location on the site. The project will also involve removal of contaminated soil on the site. Dublin San Ramon Services District abandoned an underground tank at this site in the 1960's. The level of contamination is extremely low and DRFA will be working with appropriate County Health Officials during the removal. The Facility Floor Plans of the proposed facility are shown in Exhibit 2 (First Floor) and Exhibit 3 (Second Floor) . The facility is designed to accommodate the future service needs for a station at this location. A committee with representatives from each shift have been involved in the layout of the project. The design emphasizes the location of various uses along central corridors and stairways. Also, the various uses are clearly divided into zones (i.e. public area, kitchen/living area, sleeping quarters, etc. ) The first floor includes a public entry, as well as an office/work area for the shift captains. Located away from the public area on the first floor is the crew living/dining areas. On the opposite side of the vehicle bays is a workout room which is adjacent to an outdoor landscaped area. The second floor is devoted entirely to crew living quarters including sleeping rooms, lockers, showers, and toilets. An important part of the design of this area is the provision of privacy to accommodate the situation where male and female personnel can be working on the same shift. Exterior The proposed exterior of the building is designed as a brick veneer with portions of the second story having a stucco finish. The brick will also include accent banding created by a contrasting brick color. This is intended to break up the field color. A green preformed metal roof will accent the second story, as well as a rounded area above the public entry. The Architects have proposed glass roll-up doors on the vehicle bays. Architect Presentation The Architect will present additional information at the meeting, including color sketches and samples of the proposed exterior materials. The Architect has also prepared a video model which simulates how the building will fit in with surrounding buildings. The Architect will also be available to respond to specific questions from the City Council or members of the public. At the meeting, the Architect will present alternative brick color schemes, which they believe would work with the proposed design. The alternatives suggested differ between more of a used brick appearance or a more crisp new brick appearance for the field color. Samples will be available at the City Council meeting. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council receive the presentation by the Architect. It is also recommended that the City Council review and indicate its preferred color scheme for the exterior materials. The Architect will also be presenting the City recommended design scheme to the DRFA Board of Directors at an upcoming meeting. a:210fire.agenda#8 DRANAQECHANNe- _ 1 Q _ Q •rL AMC 'D WrJ z• 1 d � I , ayp yp � S L I r ca�icr o) r !c nc • , ,e s i / Y•c' I ' r ► s N'� s r , r. b� FUEL—.[ t o !
