Watch Office
Good visibility into App Bay but no transition zone. Single glass storefront door from App Bay to Office, no special door seals or vestibule. Has a Murphy bed in the office. X Public Station Entry No secure separation from public entry point. X Telecomm
Radio charging. ASK CREWS WHERE CHARGING SHOULD GO. Does IT Room serve anything other than the Station. It serves it's hub for station alerting but new system is
distributed to all stations. But City has a geological
earthquake monitor. City IT owns that room.next to the
stairs off the app bay. Needs cooling fan.

Mezzanine Storage
33 turn out lockers, if don't have mezzanine then need 33 more to be alble to put wildland bag and 2nd set of turnouts all thogether. At FS 3 there's a turn out room with gear grid lockers and now pared down each person gets two lockers .
New standared is two lcokers per person. 66 lockers total for FS 1. Or a full ht locker and a two-level one between. Station 3 personnel have exctra is because of their dive equipment. Two is nice but 1.5 is doable. 50 lockers or 66 lockers.
Extra turn outs and Out-of-County bags stored here. Old EMS files in 1x10 storage cubbies.

Apparatus Bay
Add an extractor and dryer for hose and turn outs. Would prefer to be able to grab turn outs when fire fighters arrive for duty at the station to quickly put it by or on the the rig.
Propose Handwash sink before go into vestibule to house. No space available for an additional app bay. Third-party cell tower and an easement in rear apron takes up usable yard and
parking area
App Bay wide front doors, coling doors ok but have controls issues, but not sure if bifold doors work with existing bays and site access. May not be able to make turn with tiller, swing out is hard with short front apron. Would need to check turning radius first. Firefighters report concrete slabs lift when apparatus drive across sections. 2nd kitchen
refrigerator, ice machine and washer/dryer are on the App Bay floor. Should be relocated but space is not available.
Old decon shower is used as a mop sink. Best practices
would align spaces with decon process. walk in from
exterior door to a decon room. Need a restroom/shower
directly off app bay ideally,but not requried. Could go back out or in to an extractor, then go into app bay or turn out storage room, Exterior/decon entry, separate room for PPE storage, Dayroom becomes turn out room, kitchen

Dorms
High windows, not egress windows (apparently not required by AHJ at the time of design-construction)
Recent remodel of dorms created six small, single
occupancy dorm room, plus one windowless room that isn't generally used. Walls and drop ceiling replaced one shared dorm room with curtains for separation. Need double pane windows, lots of street noise, bar across the street, strong afternoon sun from the west. If two additional firefighters are added there are no dorms for them. Would need to
convert current weight room to two dorm rooms. Prefer
wardrobe lockers and bedding lockers in hallways instead of in dorm rooms
X
Note: Comments above assume that the fire station is to have an accesible path of travel throughout.
Storage Sheds
Storage sheds have generators, portable water pumps,
some EMS, and miscellaneous storage. Some storage
needs to stay at FS 1, some could go to FS 5 and free up space at rear of Station.. ConEx box on cell tower
easement. FS 1 May need to move into Fire Admin space if want to relocate EMS storage. The Station holds discarded EMS equipment and biohazards for service contractor
removal.Would be good to take out of existing shed and
provide a more formal/secure way to temporarily hold
items pending contractor pick up for proper disposal. Yard storage shed needed. Flammables locker is out in back too, Wildland gear room, by the car port, pump and tool storage room and wildland,gear., some cots and sleeping bags,
talking about moving that out to Station 4

DIMS. SF
Proposed SF Projected Need 2040
The existing Animal Shelter facility is owned by the City and operated in conjunction with the non-profit Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS). Most staff positions and programs are funded by the City as mandated under California Animal Services, Control and Protection requirements. These are considered basic services and are indicated by a "Yes" under the "Regulatory Requirement" column in the table below. In many cases FAAS contributes staffing and program funds for "enhanced" services to optimize services such as medical care, adoption and education programs and others. Current programs could not be sustained without this City- FAAS collaboration. The Space Needs shown here represents some limited functions and programs that are currently operating off-site at a local shoppibng center and some medical services that will occupy an innovative medical village constructed of shipping containers located in the North Loop area of Alameda. If City funding shifts or decreases, some operations may need to be contracted out. That results in higher operating costs for contractors, but may result in a minimal space reduction. In the future it would be most efficient to have all operations consolidated in one location, so for master planning purposes, all programs are listed here and shown in site graphics are assumed to be located together on a single site

CONCEPTUAL SPACE NEEDS SUMMARY
APPENDIX C
C - CODE, INDUSTRY STANDARDS AND
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
ANAlySiS & EvAluATiON
In addition to the Space Needs described by current
City staff in those units, facility requirements were
also developed based on building codes, and industry
and professional standards. The City’s Climate Action
and Resiliency Plan has articulated guiding principles
for the City that include sustainability, environmental responsibility, resilience, inclusion, and wellness. These codes, standards and guiding principles combined with
user needs, provide the foundation for the space needs
described in this Plan.
BUILDING REQUIREMENTS
APPLICABLE CODES AND
REQUIREMENTS
(California Code of Regulations, Title 24) “2019 Califor- nia Building Code (CBC)” :
• Part 1 – Californ
ia Administrative Code
• Part 2 – Californ
ia Building Code
• Part 3 – Californ
ia Electrical Code
• Part 4 – Californ
ia Mechanical Code
• Part 5 – Californ

• Part 9 – Californ
ia Fire Code
• Part 11 – Californ
ia Green Building Standards
• Code (CALGreen
)
• Part 12 – Californ
ia Reference Standards Code
The California Building Standards Code is a compila -
tion of three types of building standards from three
different origins.
• Building standards that have been adopted by state
agencies without change from building standards
contained in national model codes;
• Building standards that have been adopted and
adapted from national model codes to address
California’s ever-changing conditions; and
• Building standards, authorized by the Califor -
nia legislature, that constitute amendments not
covered by national model codes, that have been
created and adopted to address particular Califor-
nia concerns.
All occupancies in California are subject to national
model codes adopted into Title 24, and occupancies
are further subject to amendments adopto ted by state
agencies and ordinances implemented by local jurisdic-
tions’ governing bodies.
ESSENTIAL SERVICES REQUIREMENTS
In 1986, California enacted the Essential Services Build- ings Seismic Safety Act requiring that buildings providing essential services should be capable of providing those services to the public after a disaster. As noted in the California Administrative Code Section 4-207 and Cali-
fornia Building Code, fire stations are deemed Essen -
tial Services buildings and their structure and systems will be designed to continue facility operations after
extreme environmental events such as earthquakes,
floods, winds and storms. In addition to code-required
structural strengthening, the facility will contain several non-structural building systems such as HVAC, plumb -
ing, and telecommunications. Those critical systems
typically require seismic anchoring, bracing, special
seismic certifications and special inspections called
out in the Codes.
CODE REQuiREMENTS
ANAlySiS & EvAluATiON
iNDuSTRy STANDARDS
CORPORATION YARDS
The California Water Resources Board publishes Best
Management Practices for Municipal Operations to
address issues such as water discharge and environ -
mental compliance for soil management and waste
management. Other yard activities raise concerns about
noise and odor management, landscape management
for visual, sound and safety buffers to separate vehi - cle traffic and parking from the public. Site safety and security to protect employees and City property is also a priority. These guidelines are useful for planning Public Works facilities such as the Alameda Maintenance
Service Center, Fleet Services and Recreation and Parks Corporation Yard.
ANIMAL SHELTERS
Animal control shelters are regulated under the California Food and Agriculture Code and the California Civil and
Penal Code. The Association of Shelter Veterinarians, UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program and the ASPCA
have all published guidelines for animal shelter design.
FIRE STATIONS
The primary goals of Fire Departments are to provide
safe, responsive service to their communities while
providing a safe working and living environment for fire fighters. Professional fire design standards focus on
several critical factors including:
• Service area co
verage
• Organization of building spaces and functional flow
to optimize response times
• Separation of apparatus bays and clean fire house
living zones with transition spaces to promote
containment of potentially hazardous particulates
and proper decontamination facilities
• Community acce
ss and presence
• Vehicular and pedestrian safety for exiting and
returning fire apparatus
• Essential Services such as fire stations are required by law to be designed to a higher level than stan -
dard buildings. The Essential Services Act mandates
that fire station structures and building systems be
designed to continue in operation after earthquakes,
floods, winds and storms.
• Seismic Assessments were conducted by Biggs
Cardosa Structural Engineers for Fire Stations 1,
2, 4 and 5. The evaluation memos are in Appendix
H of this Report.
ANAlySiS & EvAluATiON
iNDuSTRy STANDARDS
FIRE STATIONS -CONTINUED
RESPONSE
Location is the first criteria to support response and
provide service within set standard time frames..
The circulation across the front apron and connection to roadways determines the ability for rapid response
for the apparatus once fire fighters are in the vehicle.
Clear lines of sight and traffic control at busy roadways contribute to fast response. Alerting systems with clear signalization and visual and audible direction provide
firefi ghters with the information they need to respond.
Apparatus bay doors that operate quickly and automat-
ically allow the apparatus to exit the station when the crew is ready. A plan layout of the facility should be
organized to provide firefi ghters with direct access to the apparatus bay as quickly as possible from all areas of the station. Priority should be given to the areas the firefighters may be in most such as Office areas and
living areas. Sleeping areas should be prioritized with a direct path to the apparatus bay as longer internal
response to the apparatus occurs when the fire fighters are sleeping. Areas that may need to be visited as part of response should be placed on the path to that appa-
ratus bay, such as radio charging stations and response alcoves providing information for the call.
COMMUNITY PRESENCE AND ACCESS
A fire station is a connection to the community to provide service and a destination for assistance and care for
those in danger. The fire station should be accessible
to the community. Parking and walkways to the lobby
of the station and emergency phone should follow ADA
requirements to allow all members of the community to
be able to approach the station for assistance. Alameda County Fire Stations are surrender sites under Califor - nia’s Safely Surrendered Baby Program. Station site
configuration, building orientation and exterior facade should provide a clear indication of the entry to the
facility to receive help or information.
FIRE FIGHTER SAFETY AND WELLNESS
Fire fighter health and safety is a top priority to protect them from the hazardous materials that they encounter
when fighting fires and from the vehicle exhaust from
the apparatus. Station design facilitiates the proper
decontamination process a fire fighter must follow when returning from a call. Placing the decontamination room, turnout cleaning and turnout storage along a linear and unobstructed path to the apparatus bay supports the
process of decontamination and turnout cleaning prior
to entering the app bay. The addition of hand washing
sinks and boot cleaning stations at any entrance to
the living area in addition to the decontamination zone helps fi refi ghters maintain a clean living area called the “Clean Zone” that is separated from the “Hot Zone”
of the apparatus bay and support area. A facility also
should provide an air-lock vestibule as a “Transition
Zone” at the connection points of the “Clean” and “Hot” zones to keep the vehicle exhaust from the apparatus
bay from infi ltrating the fi refi ghters’ living and sleeping quarters. Firefi ghter processes for decontamination
when returning from a call and when entering the “Clean” living area will help protect the long term health of the fire fighters living at the station. At the same time, the station layout can encourage these proper cleaning
processes to help embed healthy practices into the
culture of the department.
PUBLIC TO PRIVATE SEPARATION
Fire Stations are not only a beacon and refuge to the
community in times of emergency, they are also the
home to the fi refi ghters while on duty. A separate lobby space should be provided to allow for the public to
come to the station. This lobby should be secure and
separate from the private living area of the fire station.
Ideally, the offi ce function of the fire station should be as close as possible to the lobby so on-duty fire fighters can monitor the lobby and to provide a transition from
the public space to the public interaction offi ce area to the living area.

SECURITY
The building and site of a fire facility should be secure from theft and unauthorized visitors to protect equipment and personnel so they can perform their service to the
community unhindered. The special equipment is
a valuable asset to the community and requires special
training to operate. The rear apron provides an area to locate this equipment as well as parking of fi refi ghter personal vehicles while on duty. This area should be
protected with a security fence and vehicle gate. Visitor entry and parking can be located outside this secure
fence. The entry of the building itself should have a
lobby with a secure door that allows visitors to come to the station without having access to the fire fighter living areas. This allows fire fighters to serve the community in a safe way.
EQUITY AND INCLUSION
Traditional fire stations provided facilities that had limited privacy. This reduced the opportunity for a diverse staff by not providing equitable and inclusive accommodations.
The traditional open dorm fire station sleeping and
restroom facilities were developed based on historically all-male fire crews. In order for the fire department to be inclusive and recruit, retain and support a diverse staff, facilities need to be provided that accommodate all.
Private sleeping areas and individual private restrooms and showers allow create and maintain equitable living
conditions. This encourages diversity within the depart- ment by providing a station layout that is inclusive to all.
DEPARTMENT AND STATION CULTURE
Because the profession of fire fighting relies heavily
on the collaboration and teamwork of each crew to be
able to perform together and live together in the
fire house, the opportunities for privacy should be
balanced with spaces that foster collaboration as a team.
The apparatus bay and apparatus support spaces are
areas where fire fighters work together in daily duties on the job. The living area should be configured to encour- age informal, casual and more formal collaboration with areas for meeting, relaxing and eating together. The
kitchen, dining and day room areas should be organized
to maintain the traditional collaborative culture of the fire department, while the fire fighter sleeping areas
provide the space to allow each fire fighter to maintain a comfortable level of privacy.

Climate Action and Resiliency plan (CARP) first
adopted 2019 (updated april 2025)
CARP set a path for the City of Alameda to move towards a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient commu -
nity. As a foundational document, it spells out how City operations and facilities for Public Works, Recreation
and Parks, the Fire Department, and the Animal Shel -
ter contribute to climate change adaptation and hazard
mitigation while managing City resources, facilities and operations sustainably and efficiently. These strategies build upon California’s Green Building Code by providing more specifics and focus on local priorities
Alameda’s strategies for climate action and resiliency, specifically the City Leadership action item states:
CL-3: City Facilities and Operations Description The
City of Alameda will demonstrate leadership through
efforts to achieve high-performing buildings and
facilities, sustainable transportation, and more. The
City will implement a series of actions that will both
reduce carbon emissions from municipal operations
and enhance resiliency. These actions include energy
and water efficiency upgrades for City facilities, parks, managed landscapes, sustainable new construction,
the electrification of existing buildings and fleet vehicles, supporting electric vehicle adoption through charger
installations, and the installation of resilience measures including solar plus storage projects. These actions will not only reduce emissions but create community bene-
fits by ensuring the continuity of operations through
emergencies and leading by example. CARP Page 26
Strategies: Municipal building upgrades, decarbonization for new and renovated facilities, explore opportunities for new backup power systems using carbon-free energy
sources such as lithium-ion batteries or solar where
feasible. Explore fleet bidirectional charging for back-up power where feasible. Low global-warming refrigerants.
Water use reductions via low water-use plumbing, irri - gation and plantings, identify opportunities to install rainwater capture systems and fleet electrification.
RESILIENCE
CLIMATE ADAPTATION-HAZARD MITIGATION
Resilience is the ability of a community to prepare for disruptions, to adapt to changing conditions, withstand and rapidly recover from shocks and stresses, and to
adapt to future change. (CARP 2025 Update, Page 14)
The Fire Department, Public Works, Recreation and
Parks Maintenance and the Animal Shelter have big
roles to play in the City’s preparations for disruptions and disaster response. For Alameda the hazards of
greatest concern include earthquakes, flooding, and
sea level rise.
Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Strategies
identified in the CARP directly apply to new and rede - veloped facilities for Public Works, Recreation, the Fire Department and Animal Shelter as project designs
should prioritize the need to:
• Prepare for impacts of rising groundwater levels
on public property
◦ Design for flood
ing (raise finished floor levels,
design for sea level and associated ground -
water rise)
• Seismic Issues are identified in the Structural
Assessments for Fire Stations 1, 4 and 5. New
Fire Stations will be law be designed to the higher
Essential Services level. Public Works, Recreation
and Animal Shelter facilities will meet current Cali-
fornia Building Code requirements.
• Cool/Green B
uildings
◦ Identify opportunities for onsite renewables
including Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
and battery installation where feasible
◦ Employ Urban Greening techniques to eliminate
heat island effect from site paving and roofs
and by adding trees to the cityscape.
• Utilize Water Efficiency and Water Conservation
measures
• Become Carbon Neu
tral by 2045
◦ Carbon neutral: Carbon neutral, or achieving
zero net emissions, means having a balance
between emitting carbon and absorbing carbon
from the atmosphere in carbon sinks.
◦ Building and
fleet electrification with the foun-
dation provided by Alameda Municipal Power’s

New and redeveloped facilities and sites need to
consider these potential hazards.
• Soil Contamina
nts - CARP identifies the possibility
of contaminants brought to the surface by emergent
groundwater as a potential future hazard requiring
more study. As groundwater brings contaminants
to the surface, there may be unacceptable levels
of exposure to humans and wildlife. Report on “The
Response of the Shallow Groundwater Layer and
Contaminants to Sea Level Rise, September 2020.”
Refer to the Civil Engineering discussion of sea level
rise in the Appendix.
INCLUSION
As articulated in the CARP, Alameda seeks
• “to prioritize the needs of frontline communities
when prioritizing public investments and improve -
ments to address climate change.”
• The Plan acknowledges that “Vulnerable communi-
ties are those that have both social vulnerability (i.e. renter, children, disabled, single parent households,
lack transportation, people of color, low level of
education, very low income), and exposure to envi-
ronmental burdens and climate impacts.
Redevelopment and new construction of future City
facilities must consider ways to minimize the impact
on those population groups. The CARP also highlights
Equity and Environmental Justice considerations that
may be enhanced because “Improving the operations of
city facilities means they can better serve all Alamedans.
Though there are upfront costs to make upgrades, they
can save money in the long term that can be reinvested
back into the community.” (CARP, Page 27)

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
In 2023, AP Triton completed a Community Risk Assessment and Standard of Cover (CRA/SOC) document for the Alameda Fire Department (AFD), City of Alameda, California. In general, the AFD is adequately staffed and deployed efficiently. However, the study identified a few challenges, including the usefulness of Stations 2 and 5. Additional concerns focus on adequate and timely coverage, particularly in the response road network in certain areas and some response areas. Most of the challenges identified pertain specifically to the island portion of the city, with a predominant focus on the Alameda Point development area. This is the portion of the city with the most drastic changes expected in the near future. This study, in part or in full, attempts to address some of these challenges.
This study was commissioned to evaluate the effects and potential benefits of opening a station, relocating crews, and potentially adding a crew to service delivery. The fire department asked AP Triton to evaluate seven distinct scenarios:
• Scenario One: Open Station 5.
▪ Option 1A: Add an engine company to this location.
▪ Option 1B: Add an engine company and move Truck 2 to this location. • Scenario Two: Build a new station near Atlantic and Main Street, closing Station 2. The site chosen was the open land area near the static Corsair aircraft display. ▪ Option 2A: Relocate the Station 2 crew and apparatus to this new station. ▪ Option 2B: Add an engine company to this location and relocate the Station 2 crew and apparatus to this new station. This is known as the “Super Station” concept. • Scenario Three: Build a new station at Neptune Park, closing Station 2. ▪ Option 3A: Relocate the Station 2 crew and apparatus to this new station. ▪ Option 3B: Add an engine company to this location and relocate the Station 2 crew and apparatus to this new station. This is known as the “Super Station” concept. • Scenario Four: Build a new station at Neptune Park, and relocate the Station 2 crew and apparatus to this new station, subsequently closing Station 2. Open Station 5 and place a new engine crew in service.
• Discuss the optimal location for Station 5.
During the evaluation phase of the different models, another option became apparent: opening a site near the chosen Atlantic or Midway and Main site, designated as Station 5. This opinion will be discussed as part of the best location for Station 5.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T iv
Upon creating and validating computer travel time and coverage models, each option was evaluated using the same criteria. It became clear that the Neptune location would not be a suitable choice for coverage or deployment, regardless of whether Station 5 is opened. Opening Station 5, either at its current location or near the new Midway or Atlantic station sites, with an additional crew, is the best option for improved coverage. This is true whether or not the Truck 2 crew is moved. The following figure illustrates the expected performance relative to each model's historical performance and the option's historical performance.

CHALLENGES
The first identified concerns are the physical layout of the community, specifically the island community. Some of the identified challenges include access, buildings, and the expected growth.
CRA/SOC IDENTIFIED CONCERNS
—
ACCESS
This report is not intended to repeat or expand on the risks and performance issues identified in the 2023 AFD CRA/SOC document. However, it is essential to address a few key concerns identified regarding stations and staffing. These include risk types and geography specific to the Alameda community, as well as facilities and expected growth and population density increases.
One of the first issues unique to the Alameda community is the potential lack of readily available mutual aid units on the island. With four bridges and two tunnels serving as the access points to the island portion of the community, AFD must be prepared to handle expected emergencies with the resources available on the island. As noted in the CRA, there is a history of access points to the community being blocked or drawbridges being stuck open. Additionally, the limited number of lanes and restricted access through the tunnels can reduce the availability of mutual aid units due to traffic congestion. This same issue may also affect Station 4 crews' ability to respond. If the Bay Farm Bridge access is cut off, the travel distance to the island increases from a little over one mile to over ten miles.
While this is a worst-case scenario, it is prudent for the agency, city, and its citizens to plan for and staff for this historically proven possibility. The following figure illustrates the potential choke points and access limitations for responding mutual aid units.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 3 Figure 2: Bridges & Tunnels
Another access issue is the limited access of some units to particular areas on the island. Smaller, dead-end streets with water surrounds and the built-up areas may make travel times to certain areas difficult in themselves. This access problem was highlighted earlier in 2025, when a wind-driven event prevented additional units from approaching a multi-building fire. This report will not be able to address these particular issues, which are more community planning issues. However, the speed and ferocity of the wind-driven fire highlight the need for a rapid response from sufficient units to handle a small problem before it becomes a significant issue, as seen on Maui in 2024.
This type of limited access can be especially concerning, given some of the island's more hazardous conditions. As reported in the CRA/SOC, there is a high potential for seismic shaking on the island and a significant flooding hazard. Since none of the bridges meet the lifeline standard, an earthquake or large volumes of water may make them impassable. Several flood-type concerns have been identified, including the probable FEMA tsunami hazard scenario and the less likely but potentially more hazardous USGS tsunami prediction.

FACILITIES
One major issue identified in the CRA/SOC is the size and layout of Station 2, as well as the significant facility-maintenance needs at Station 5. Station 2 is not designed with the safety and operational requirements of a modern fire service in mind. When the station was built, little was known about the carcinogenic nature of firefighting or the evolving risks associated with petroleum-based products, whether from vehicle exhaust or from the products
themselves when burned. There was also concern about
the firefighters' health and fitness. Station 2 lacks adequate decontamination facilities, separation of contaminated
equipment and uniforms from living quarters, and sufficient shower facilities for firefighters after exposure to these contaminants. It is also crowded with personnel and
equipment, forcing the ambulance to exit the building in a complex and inefficient manner.
Station 5, built as a pre-World War II military fire station, is similarly inadequate. It also needs significant upgrades and maintenance to provide a living environment for firefighters. Plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning were all found to be inadequate.

GROWTH
One final identified concern with the physical properties of the island community is the intense growth and changing dynamics of the buildings and layout. Adding higher, multi-use, and more densely packed housing in downtown areas, as well as the development of the old Alameda Naval Air Station (NAS), now known as Alameda Point, will put pressure on the fire department's ability to respond effectively. While changes to this area are evolving, it can be assumed that it will eventually experience growth, along with increases in population and visitors.
Before the NAS closed, the city enjoyed assistance from the Department of Defense (DoD) fire department. Additionally, it did not have to worry about responding to the area. With the removal of DoD personnel and the assumption of the land, the AFD's responsibility grew. However, the station deployment did not change to meet that additional requirement. Much of the discussion in this study is directly related to the Alameda Point community. The following figure shows the island's city zoning, with the highest-growth area, Alameda Point, highlighted.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 6 Figure 5: Alameda Zoning
This growth in area, along with the expected increase in visitors, places stress on one of the busiest stations in the system. While additional staffing may not be required, AFD resource deployment and addressing the build-out to the Alameda Point area will become increasingly urgent.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 7 RESPONSE COVERAGE
CHALLENGE
S
The AFD attempts to meet the National Fire Protection Association's response time performance goal found in standard 1710. This standard identifies the types of units, the order, and the response and performance times that fire departments should adopt for the most effective deployment. This report will not repeat the thorough evaluation found in the CRA/SOC. However, some of the more pertinent studies are repeated here using more updated information.
INCIDENT DENSITY
One goal of proper deployment is to place the fire stations closest to the areas of greatest need. The community incident density is highest in the areas closest to Stations 1 and 2. This is particularly concerning, as the area with the least coverage places additional stress on Station 2 crews. AFD responds primarily with an engine for all incidents and an ambulance for EMS incidents, with an extra engine or truck as required. AFD has also deployed a specialty unit to address the needs of individuals with mental health, general poor health, or substance abuse problems. The following figure illustrates the relational emergency incident density for the island.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 8 Figure 6: 9-1-1 Incident Density per Square Meter
Another way to visualize the data is to examine incident density, binned by volume. Binning is the process of aggregating incident counts and grouping them into geographic areas of equal size and shape. This is different from the mathematical process in the relative density map. The relative density map shows hot and cold regions across the entire incident volume. The binning enables a more precise count by location. The following figure shows the incident count by specific areas rather than a density evaluation.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 9 Figure 7: Incident Heat Hex Bin
While the incident density map shows a relative density primarily around Stations 1 and 2, the binning map indicates that incident density is already increasing in the Alameda Point area. This trend is likely to continue as the area develops and more people begin to work, visit, and live there.
Interestingly, the heavier volume can be directly correlated with certain healthcare-related occupancies. The city has several facilities dedicated to those with health-related issues. These include assisted living facilities, hospitals, outpatient clinics, and other healthcare occupancies. The following figure overlays the incident binning analysis. The following figure achieves this by overlaying healthcare-related occupancies on the incident binning data.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 10 Figure 8: Incident Heat/Hexbin with Outpatient Facilities
There is no direct evidence that these types of occupancies are causal; however, there is strong evidence of a correlational relationship between these types of occupancies and incident volume. In the industry, there is also a correlational relationship between occupancies, such as senior living housing, high-density housing, public assistance housing, correctional institutions, and areas with high crime rates. There is little direct evidence proving why these occupancies or their occupants are associated with incidents; instead, there are likely a wide variety of reasons for this type of correlation.

-
TIME PERFORMANCE

FIRST DUE
First due travel responses are a function of the distribution of resources and stations. The engine company is the most flexible unit in the inventory. It is equipped to address almost all hazards and incident types that AFD faces. They are typically the first unit from a station to respond. During the more hazardous incidents, such as a structure fire, multiple units are needed to address the emergency.
AFD has adopted the NFPA 4-minute travel time for the first due engine company as its performance goal. Travel time can be affected by factors such as road conditions, distance, speed limits, road type, and proximity to an incident. Because the City of Alameda has adopted a 25 MPH speed limit throughout the city and the potential for extreme traffic congestion, the models presented here have adopted a 25 MPH road speed for all response areas. The following figure shows the 4-minute predicted travel time for the current AFD unit deployment from their stations.
Figure 9: Current Deployment 4 Minute Travel Time Model
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 12 Because the travel time is of primary importance to this study, particular care was taken to validate the model. The agency provided several years of travel time data for analysis, and those were layered onto the 4-minute travel map to determine whether historic performance matched the model. In addition to the time, performance, type, and priority levels of the incidents, the latitude and longitude from which the apparatus responded were also provided. Because AFD used the closest unit dispatch with automatic vehicle location (AVL), travel times were evaluated from stations where the responding unit was within 10 meters of a specified station. This allowed actual travel times from stations to be considered, rather than just the unit travel time. The incident data provided included response priority (emergency versus non-emergency) and included scheduled transport events. For this analysis, incidents were filtered to show only unscheduled emergency incidents, capturing those in which travel time has the most significant impact. The following figure illustrates that the model generally aligns with historical response data.
Figure 10: Current 4-Minute Travel/Historical Travel Comparison
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 13 As the previous figure illustrates, the model generally aligns with historical information. While some travel times do not match the model, the analysis aimed to determine whether the 4-minute model's borders typically align with historical information. This appears to be the case, and the travel model seems valid, if not slightly conservative. This cautious approach to travel models is preferable to more aggressive ones, as encouraging unsafe travel practices or speeds can have tragic consequences.
Once the model was confirmed, it became crucial to understand which parts of the community were served during this timeframe. This becomes the statistical measure of the new station and deployment options presented in the next section.
Addresses Covered
The city provided a list of address points within the city limits. These were evaluated to see how many address points fell within the 4-minute travel time. Of the 38,469 address points, 4,939 fell outside of the 4-minute travel time. This means currently 87.2% of all address points fall within a 4-minute travel time of a fire station. The following figure shows the scorecard for the addresses covered within the time limit.

Similar to the address points, each historical incident included all computer-aided dispatch records from January 1, 2023, through June 30, 2025, which were also clipped and evaluated. Of the 22,631 incidents in the record,6,952 fell outside the 4-minute travel distance. Unlike the travel time analysis, which focused only on emergency unscheduled incidents, this record set included all incidents within the dataset. The following figure shows the scorecard for the incident points covered within the time limit.

It should be noted that this is a historical evaluation and does not necessarily guarantee future performance or call volume. Incident density and calls for service are likely to be distributed slightly differently, especially as the Alameda Point area develops. However, given the significant volume, this analysis is expected to be representative of future performance, if not exact.
Population & Demogra
phics Served
The individuals being served are of special interest to the city and the fire department. Therefore, an additional level of analysis was performed using 2023 and 2024 population information by census tract. There were three different variables evaluated. First, the total Population is based on the 2024 annual community survey (ACS) estimates from the U.S. Census. Next, an evaluation of households below the poverty level was calculated using 2023 ACS data. Finally, households with one or more individuals with disabilities were also evaluated using the 2023 ACS data.
These three levels were selected as those with disabilities, and lower-income individuals are considered at risk. People with disabilities are at risk because they may require more assistance in an emergency and may need more help in general. The risks associated with poverty are primarily driven by access to wellness care and insurance. The total population is self-explanatory. The following figure lists the statistics for these demographics within the current deployment model.

The daily minimum firefighter staffing available to the community is 29, 24 of which are located on the island. The fire department staffs four engine companies, two trucks, four ambulances, one battalion chief, and one Community Assessment Response & Engagement (CARE) team specialty unit. The battalion chief operates independently; the engines and trucks are supervised by a captain or equivalent, a qualified apparatus operator, and one firefighter. The ambulances and CARE team are both minimally staffed by a firefighter and a firefighter-paramedic. All firefighters are fully trained in all- hazard mitigation and possess the necessary personal protective equipment to operate effectively in any fire department incident.
The current deployment features an engine and ambulance at all stations, a truck at Stations 1 and 2, a CARE team at Station 3, and a battalion chief based at Station 1. The department cross-staffs and operates a fireboat from the marina, a rescue boat and trailer at Stations 1 and 2, a rescue unit from Station 3, and a water tender at Station 4. Station 4 is on the peninsula east of the Oakland Airport and, unlike the island, will not be cut off from mutual aid companies if the bridges are unavailable. The AFD can support Station 4, typically by approaching across the Bay Farm Bridge. The following figure shows the current staffing distribution.

This staffing level is sufficient to handle the most likely hazard levels faced by the AFD, even if access to the island is cut off from outside resources. While staffing levels are adequate, as discussed above, the distribution of resources creates some challenges.

TIME PERFORMANCE

EFFECTIVE RESPONSE FORCE
While the first due unit is of primary importance, NFPA 1710 also directs that a total effective response force (ERF) should arrive promptly. NFPA indicates that the first unit should arrive in 4 minutes, the second unit in 6 minutes, and a full ERF in under 8 minutes. AFD used the total number of responders as its judgment of when a full ERF is fulfilled for each service type and risk category. The CRA/SOC identifies each ERF, and Figure 182 from that document is reproduced below.
Figure 15: AFD ERF Staffing Levels by Type and Risk
Incident Type Maximum
Risk High Risk Moderate
Risk Low Risk
Fire 34 24 17 3
Emergency Medical 24 12 6 2
Technical Rescue 29 21 6 4
Hazardous Materials 30 21 6 3
To determine whether AFD meets the ERF, a concentration analysis is performed. The concentration evaluates the total number of firefighters available to respond to specific areas based on station staffing. This analysis is also completed in the CRA/SOC; however, because the concentration deployment is a function of station staffing and station locations, which are part of this evaluation, it is repeated here for clarity. Each model will be evaluated similarly to understand the changes in this performance metric when the station location and staffing are altered.
To understand the effect of distribution on the concentration of an effective response force, it is essential to grasp the concept clearly. Each station is staffed by a specific number of personnel and apparatus types as listed in Figure 14. NFPA 1710 indicates that the first unit should arrive within 4 minutes of travel time, while the entire effective response force should arrive within 8 minutes of travel time. AFD calculates the effective response force based on the total number of firefighters and officers who arrive. Therefore, to calculate the projected effective response force, each station, with its associated number of responders and estimated 8-minute travel time, is aggregated and grouped. The following figure shows the four current stations and their respective 8-minute travel times to the nearest station.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 17 Figure 16: Individual Station 8 Minute Travel Times
Once these 8-minute travel time areas are identified, the total number of responders expected within each region is summed to create a single 8-minute travel map, with the number of responders associated with each layer. The following shows the total number of responders expected to be gathered in an area within 8 minutes, assuming everyone is available and responds from their quarters.

As expected, due to the station distribution, the area between Stations 1 and 2 has the heaviest coverage. The Bay Farm area can expect its own station and Station 1 within approximately 8 minutes.
The Alameda Point area can expect the total for Station 2, but Stations 3 and 1 will take longer. Station 4 plays a minor role in assembling a timely response force at Alameda Point.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 19 CURRENT CONDITION
CONCLUSION
AFD's current situation is not necessarily dire, but some areas could be improved. There are sufficient personnel and equipment on the island to address most incident types and risk levels, even if the island is cut off from external support. The Bay Farm area has access to mutual aid agencies, regardless of the island's firefighters' ability to respond. The workload is unevenly distributed, but manageable at this point.
GAP ANALYSIS
Certain areas require improved coverage to enjoy the same level of service as the rest of the city. While there are a few pockets of underserved locations, the most significant area is along the western portion of the island. As stated in the CRA/SOC, the Alameda Point area lacks sufficient coverage, given the 4- minute NFPA first-unit travel time and the Insurance Service Office 1.5-mile road-mile standards.
Overall service delivery is adequate, but the current first-due travel time performance of 5 minutes, 1 second or faster 90% of the time could be improved by addressing station distribution.
As identified in the CRA/SOC, Engine 2 is approaching a cautionary usage rate of 10%, which may render it a less effective response resource. The most recent three-year average unit hour utilization, 2023 to 2025, is 9.2%. This is slightly higher than the four-year average CRA/SOC usage rate for 2019 to 2022, which was 8.45%. The general trend for Engine 2 is an increased annual usage percentage.
Station 2, as used, is in a great location to support the surrounding area and areas to the east.
However, it is not an adequately sized or designed station for the current deployment needs. With an engine, a truck, an ambulance, and eight firefighters on duty daily, it is stretched to capacity. It also needs system and design updates to meet modern firefighting safety standards.
SCORE CARD
Each model will be evaluated against the current conditions and coverage. It will be grouped by staffing, relative costs, and demographic coverage. Staffing is the sum of all daily emergency personnel staffing. Next is a relative cost comparison. The last evaluation is a relational analysis of the 4-minute response coverage across five segments. Those five segments will be the bottom part of each scorecard.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 20 Staffing is a straightforward count and needs no definition. Demographic coverage can be shown as percentage coverage relative to the total city data and the data points covered by the different mapping models. Financial comparison is the column in the scorecard and is the most generalized analysis.
While it is outside the scope of this report to assess actual costs, a relative fiscal implication can be presented.
The financial analysis is based on a comparison of the current situation and the likely costs required to maintain the current deployment. Costs were determined based on current operational personnel costs, divided by the total number of operations personnel. New facility costs were estimated following recent recommendations to other coastal fire departments, but it is only an estimate. The remodel cost is estimated at 25% of a new building's cost. It must be emphasized that this is a generally accepted concept. However, there is every indication that remodeling Station 5 will be much more expensive. AFD should have a qualified builder provide a quote for actual costs before making a financial judgment.
The financial indicators evaluated are the current fixed and short-term obligations resulting from changes in the AFD deployment. The current fixed costs include operating the stations, firefighter labor costs, equipment, supplies, and replacement costs for apparatus. It is also assumed that upgrading and repairing Station 2 will be accomplished if that station remains in service, regardless of whether the AFD makes any changes or follows one of the future models. Short-term relative costs are the relationship between each potential model and the current fixed costs, and are presented with the following graphics:
▪ $ = Current situation costs, including the remodeling and repair of Station 2. ▪ $$ = Remodeling Station 2 and adding a crew and apparatus. ▪ $$$ = Closing Station 2, building a new station, and not adding any crew or apparatus. ▪ $$$$ = Closing Station 2, building a new station, and adding a new crew and apparatus. ▪ $$$$$ = Closing Station 2, remodeling a station, building a new station, and adding a new crew and apparatus.
▪ $$$$$$ = Remodeling Station 2, building a new station, and adding a new apparatus and crew.
Differences in long-term costs are driven by the number of apparatus and firefighters. A three-person crew staffed 24 hours a day, every day, is the sum of the salaries of three captains, three apparatus engineers, three firefighters, taxes and benefits, and the overtime costs to maintain a three-person minimum staff. The current staff cost estimate ranges from $1.5 million to $1.9 million annually.
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 21 The combination of demographics, staffing, and relative costs forms a scorecard. The following figure illustrates the baseline scorecard for the current deployment model.

S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 23 SCENARIO 1:
OPEN STATION 5
Two options are under discussion for opening Station 5. The first option is to update Station 5 and staff it with a new engine company. The second option identified is to remodel and open Station 5 with an engine company and move Truck 2. Both have similar overall 4-minute coverage, which will be evaluated together. The scorecard is driven by the distribution of fire apparatus within a 4-minute travel radius. Additionally, the concentration, in terms of an effective response force, will be discussed. 4 -
MINUTE COVERAGE
Interestingly, when the stations were finalized and built in the 1930s, the location was generally well thought out. Considering the development plan for the Alameda Point area, with most of the runway area designated for wilderness, the buildings will be well within a 4-minute travel time. The following figure illustrates the incidents, address points, and 4-minute travel times when Station 5 is staffed.
Figure 19: Current & Station 5 Travel Times
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 24 DISCUSSION & SCORECARD
Potentially the least expensive option with the best distribution effect is to remodel Stations 2 and 5 and add an engine. Expenses may skyrocket depending on the cost of renovating the Stations. The assumption was that a remodel may be 25% of a new station, but the cost of Station 5 may be notably higher. Station 5 is of wartime construction, which could significantly increase the cost of a remodel.
Leaders should consider this before relying on the relative cost analysis presented here.
This deployment allows for the second-best distributed coverage. However, both Stations 2 and 5 require capital investment. A significant amount of updating and remodeling is necessary to improve these two buildings. Additionally, although well thought out, the station's location is not perfect. As discussed in the optimal station site section, an ideal location is not far away, potentially just a few blocks. Adding Station 5 to the current stations will enhance the 4-minute incident response and improve overall demographic service provision. The following figure is the 4-minute scorecard for adding Station 5 to the current lineup.

As stated in the opening of this section, there are multiple staffing possibilities for Station 5. AFD will likely add an engine, thereby improving overall capabilities in the Station 5 area. However, AFD may decide to move Truck 2 to Station 5 to reduce the staffing and apparatus impacts on Station 2. The agency indicated that these were the likely choices, and the ERF analysis was completed using those rules. The following figure shows the staffing deployment by station if Station 5 is staffed with an engine.

With this deployment, the ERF towards Alameda Point is improved without any changes to areas east of Station 2. The following figure shows both the current deployment and the addition of an engine to the Station 5 deployment ERF.

S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 26 The other option being discussed was to add an engine and relocate Truck 2 to Station 5, thereby enhancing the usefulness of Station 2. In this deployment, Station 5 is staffed with 6 instead of three.

This distribution model moves some of the ERF away from the eastern half of the city and covers the western half, including Alameda Point, more aggressively.

MAIN STREET
,
CLOSING STATION 2
The concept for this scenario was to replace the aging Station 2 with a new station further west on Atlantic, between Main Street and Ferry Point. On the surface, this seems to meet many of the requirements for station distribution. It would provide more westward coverage and allow Station 3 to pick up a little more work. However, upon evaluation, it was found that it did not improve coverage and was actually the second-worst statistical coverage model. 4 -
MINUTE COVERAGE
Moving Station 2 further west to the Atlantic and Main area leaves a large portion of what would have been covered by the old station uncovered. While this does improve performance at Alameda Point, it decreases the overall performance that Station 2 previously achieved, regardless of whether an engine is added. The following figure shows the 4-minute travel time after Station 2 is moved.

The scorecard shows that the actual coverage of the demographics has been reduced compared to leaving Station 2 intact. Total historic incidents improved markedly, but the overall address and population demographics decreased. The households under the poverty line remained consistent, with Station 2 remaining intact.

EFFECTIVE RESPONSE FORCE OPTIONS
The first option for the total response force is to move the current crew and apparatus from Station 2 and close that house. This results in the same total number of responders on the island, which is why the cost is slightly lower. However, as the ERF maps indicate, the shift in current ERF performance improves overall performance in the Alameda Point area. Still, it worsens the overall ERF to the east, most notably near Station 1. The following figures illustrate the staffing distribution and ERF performance, compared with current performance, if Station 2 were relocated to the Atlantic location.

The second option was to add an engine to cover the area and reduce some of the volume pressure on Engine 2. This added engine classifies the new station as a "superstation," a larger building that houses more on-duty crews and more apparatus. While increasing overall staffing levels to 32, the maps show that it improves Alameda Point performance, but not in the center section near Station 1. The following figure illustrates the staffing distribution after building the new station, relocating the Station 2 crew and apparatus, and adding an engine with a three-person crew.

BUILD A STATION AT NEPTUNE PARK
Two deployment options are discussed for building a new station at Neptune Park. The first deployment involves relocating the Station 2 crew to create a new station at this location. The second deployment would be to add an additional engine to relieve some of the response duties of an already busy engine company. The only difference between these two options is the change in the 8-minute ERF studies. This option proves to be the worst in terms of 4-minute coverage. Moving the station too far north leaves much of the southern portion of the island uncovered. Adding the engine company improves the 8-minute ERF, but it still does not address coverage in the south. 4 -
MINUTE COVERAGE
Moving Station 2 to the new Neptune station proves to be the worst in terms of area covered in a 4- minute travel time. The following figure illustrates this challenge.

S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 32 DISCUSSION & SCORECARD
The general concept is to replace Station 2. Unfortunately, neither option increases coverage for the island, leaving much of the southern central portion outside the 4-minute response zone. While this addresses the much-needed updates at Station 2, it does not facilitate the deployment of firefighting forces. As the scorecard illustrates, coverage for all addresses and demographics is worse. Historical incident coverage was better, but not as good as the improvement seen by moving to the Atlantic location. The following figure shows the scorecard for this option.

A slight difference between this option and moving Station 2 to Atlantic is that the move does not impede ERF performance to the east. Like the Atlantic option, two options were evaluated. This included relocating the Station 2 crew and apparatus, as well as a second option that adds an engine.

BUILD A STATION AT NEPTUNE PARK &
OPEN STATION 5
Similar to Scenario 3, the following scenario is designed to improve coverage to the west by updating and opening the additional engine company at Station 5 and moving Station 2 to Neptune Park. While this does improve the northwest and northeastern 4-minute coverage, it has little impact on the southern performance. Additionally, it reduces the 8-minute coverage to the southeast of Station 5 compared with leaving Station 2 in service.
4 -
MINUTE COVERAGE
While the addition of Station 5 to the Station 2 to Neptune Park model improves overall first-due performance in the Alameda Point area, it does little to alleviate gaps in coverage to the south of the station. The following figure shows the 4-minute travel time if Station 2 is moved to Neptune Park and Station 5 is opened.

Essentially, this adds a new station for Station 2, reducing coverage in the southern portion. However, with the addition of Station 5, the coverage statistics remain very close to the current deployment situation. This is a costly option that does not add to overall performance. Historical incident coverage improves, but the other markers are either similar to current conditions or worsen slightly. The improved incident coverage is driven by the additional station. The following figure shows the scorecard if Station 2 is relocated to Neptune Park and Station 5 is established with an engine company.

Moving the Station 2 crew and apparatus alleviates the need to reassign the truck company to a new location. This is a preferred method, as keeping the apparatus centered helps the entire island more than moving it further west. Adding the engine at Station 5 improves overall western performance, especially in Alameda Point. From an ERF perspective, this is an effective option. The following figure illustrates the staffing distribution of relocating Station 2's crew and apparatus to Neptune Park, as well as adding an engine to Station 5 with a staff of three.

OPTIMAL LOCATION
One question initially asked of AP Triton was to identify the best location for Station 5 based on the development of Alameda Point. Simple geographical rules were used to determine the optimal location for Station 5. The first step was to establish the outside points of the area that needed coverage. Since the eastern region is largely set, depending on the options selected by leadership, only the western area was marked. This was done based on the likely build-out of Alameda Point but did not include the potential Veterans Administration building to the northwest.
The second step was to determine an approximate service ring rather than run multiple road-mile models. For AFD and the set speed limit of 25 MPH, it was found that a one-mile ring was analogous to a 4-minute travel time. The following figure shows the simple proof of the one-mile ring assumption by overlaying a one-mile circle over the Station 2 4-minute travel model.
Figure 41: 1-Mile Ring with 4-Minute Travel for Reference
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 39 This allowed the analysis to continue by anchoring the two western points of the city, located in the north and south corners, and drawing a one-mile ring around those points. The theory suggests that the intersection of the two rings provides the optimal location for a 4-minute distributed travel time. This placed the dot on Rainbow Court between Midway Avenue and Stardust Place. As it turns out, this is equally about 4 tenths of a mile from the current Station 5 location and the new station site on Atlantic, and three tenths of a mile from another available location at Midway and Main. The following figure shows the ring method used and the proximal location of the intersecting circles.
Figure 42: Station 5 Center Location
S T A T I O N L O C A T I O N S T U D Y | C I T Y O F A L A M E D A F I R E D E P A R T M E N T 40 Much of the area designated as a suitable location is already under development and unavailable for a new station. However, the planning and fire departments may be able to identify an available area near this center, such as a potential location at Main and Midway. In addition to the theoretical best location, it introduced the concept that the Atlantic location could replace Station 5 rather than Station
2. Both the Atlantic and Midway sites would provide Alameda Point coverage and complement Station 2 well. This would allow the new location to move the truck, thus alleviating the crowding at Station 2.
The following figure shows the estimated travel ring at the Rainbow Court location, along with the 4- minute travel time from Station 2, for reference to ensure complete coverage.

SCENARIO
A
:
BUILD STATION 5 AT
MIDWAY
AND MAIN
, LEAVING STATION 2 OPEN
After consultation with other city departments, the Fire Chief found that the parking area and surrounding land at Midway and Atlantic may be available for city development. As this is very close to the optimal center coverage for Station 5, this first scenario proposes building a new station at Midway and Main, adding an engine, moving Truck 2 to the new location, and leaving Engine 2 and Medic 2 at Station 2.
4 -
MINUTE COVERAGE
The overall coverage is very similar to opening Station 5, with the added benefit of creating a structure that adds coverage to the core of the city. The following figure illustrates the 4-minute coverage of keeping the current stations and building a new station on the Midway site.

Like opening Station 5, the overall score shows an improvement in coverage. The relative cost is higher, but the overall score is the best of all the models. The following figure shows the scorecard if this station were to replace Station 5, with Station 2 remaining in service.

As will become evident, the performance statistics for this performance and bonus scenario B are very similar. This means that, using historic information, either location provides approximately the same coverage. Although this location offers a little more coverage in the northern portion of the island, the southern area is likely to change its demographics as construction progresses. Therefore, the planning, building, and fire departments must discuss how the locations will be built out and which of the two bonus scenarios will best serve the city's future needs.

SCENARIO

:

NEAR MAIN STREET, LEAVING STATION 2 OPEN
The second option is to replace Station 5 with a new building at the Atlantic site. This would leave an engine and a medic at Station 2, and a new engine and Truck 2 at the new Atlantic Station 5 location.
Station 2 will still need maintenance and upgrades as previously discussed. 4 -
MINUTE COVERAGE
Given that the best location for Station 5 is so close to the Atlantic location, the overall coverage is very similar to what it would be with Station 5 open. This option provides the added benefit of a station that slightly better covers the city's core. The following figure illustrates the 4-minute coverage of keeping the current stations and building a new station on the Atlantic site.

It is essential to illustrate the changes in ERF for each potential new station location. Therefore, the following series of figures will compare current ERF coverage with both options and compare the two options to each other. Both options yield results like having Station 5 staffed and moving Truck 2 there; these new station locations maintain a solid ERF for Alameda Point while protecting the ERF to the east.
The following figure illustrates the ERF study comparing the current situation, opening the Midway location as Station 5, and relocating Truck 2.

mack5 was requested to carry out a Cost Plan for the Alameda City Facil
ities Master Plan.
The first part of the Report contains the basis of the report, the assumptions made, description of the project scope, and exclusions to the costs which contain items that have potential to impact cost at some point in the future.
The Overall Summary section contains a Summary of Gross Floor Areas, an Overall Project Summary, and Component and Trade Cost Summaries with Graphs.
Each section contains Control Quantities, a Cost Summary and Graph, and a Detailed Breakdown of Costs.
Nine major City facilities were identified as requiring in-depth space planning as well as siting and feasibility analysis. The high priority was applied to facilities that are old and are out-of-step with professional or technical standards and practices, building code requirements, a growing demand for services and finally, encroaching residential uses.
RRM Team evaluated facilities for Public Works at their Fleet Services Building and Maintenance Service Center.
The Alameda Fire Department facilities at Fire Station 1 including Fire Administration, Fire Station 2, Fire Station 4, Fire Station 5 and the Training Facility.
The Animal Shelter operated by the City in partnership with the non-profit Friends Of The Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS) was also reviewed.
