SUBJECT: City of Dublin and Alameda County Fire Joint Use Projects — Conceptual Designs
Prepared by Herma Lichtenstein, Parks and Facilities Development Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On June 19, 2012, the City Council approved Facility Use Agreements with the Alameda County
Fire Department for their Maintenance Facility as well as their tenancy in the City's Public Safety
Complex. The ACFD Maintenance Facility will be co-located along with the City's new
Corporation Building on the site of the City's Corporation Yard at the east end of Scarlett Court.
Staff has completed the conceptual designs for all three facilities and will present the building
elevations for City Council review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
• The 2012-2017 Capital Improvement Program includes sufficient funding to approve the
conceptual designs for both projects and move forward with the construction documents.
RECOMMENDATION:
•
Staff recommends that the City Council receive the Staff presentation and approve the
conceptual design for the projects and direct staff to waive the LEED Silver certification
requirement for the combined corporation yard and maintenance facility.

function and design. All parties have committed to a fast track timeframe in order to facilitate
completion of the projects.
The following are brief descriptions of the various buildings. A full presentation will be provided
at the City Council meeting.
Alameda County Fire Maintenance Facility
The proposed improvements include: removing and replacing all exterior metal cladding,
including the roof; repairing minor structural issues; and upgrades to the electrical service. The
site work will include: new entrance fencing and gate; parking lot restriping inclusive of ADA
requirements; and space for apparatus prep prior to maintenance. The elevations (Attachment
1) are based on the designs originally approved for the City Corporation Yard.
Dublin Corporation Yard
The proposed improvements include: construction of a new metal clad building with training and
muster space, workshops and storage areas to consolidate City files now stored in leased
space. The facility will also have upgrades to the electrical service. The site work will include:
new entrance fencing and gate; additional staff parking inclusive of ADA requirements; and
outdoor materials storage for city wide operations. Both the City building and ALCO
Maintenance building are intended to complement one another and appear as a single campus.
The elevations (Attachment 2) are based on the designs originally approved for the City
Corporation yard.
Public Safety Complex - Alameda County Fire Administrative Offices
The proposed improvements include: demolition of all existing interior improvements and
selected site work; installation of temporary maintenance facilities for the City of Dublin and
Alameda County Fire Maintenance; and construction of fourteen thousand square feet of office
space for Alameda County Fire Administrative Offices. The proposed elevations have been
included as Attachments 3 and 4.
The combined corporation / maintenance facility will fall under the City's Green Building
Ordinance, which requires City projects in excess of $3,000,000 to be designed to a LEED
Silver standard. However, the City Council does have the discretion to set this requirement
aside and Staff is recommending that due to the nature of the building's use (maintenance
within open bays and large areas of the site dedicated to paved surfaces) that this requirement
be waived. To satisfy the spirit of the ordinance, Staff has included best management practices
on such items as: the demolition and recycling of the existing cladding; higher levels of
insulation and passive energy use reduction in reflective roofing and increased natural day -
lighting; and the inclusion of conduits and electrical room space for future photovoltaic
connections.
In the case of the Corporation / Maintenance Yard Project, the metal building cladding will be
specified with recycled content of 34% which is one of the highest available in the industry. For
the Public Safety Complex (Alameda County Fire Administrative Offices), the City is working
with Chevron to reallocate funds originally earmarked for swim center modernization to replace
the mechanical systems to a higher efficiency. In addition, Staff is researching the option of a
modular interior wall system that can be relocated when the future phase is authorized. This
system has a reduced material footprint and can be installed faster than a traditional framed wall
system.
