RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a resolution awarding a contract to Zumwalt Construction, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $12,279,555, with a total Project Construction Cost of $12,051,237, including $228,318 in Project Contingency Costs, for Design-Build Construction Services for the Santa Teresa Fire Station Construction Project; and authorize the City Administrator to execute the agreement and all other related documents; and

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Gilroy has long planned for the addition of a fourth fire station to address

5.1. operational needs of the Gilroy Fire Department. The City determined that the Glen Loma Ranch community was the appropriate location and ultimately was conveyed a

1.36-acre parcel at the corner of West Luchessa Avenue and Miller Avenue.

Subsequently, the City hired Griffin Structures, Inc to serve as the City’s project/construction manager. Bridging architectural design and programming work was completed through LPA Architects, subcontractor to Griffin. The fire station is planned as an approximate 6,500 square foot single-story structure sited to face the existing roundabout. In April 2026, the City issued a Request for Qualifications and Sealed Proposals soliciting Design-Build Services to identify a team to develop the bridging documents into full construction drawings and complete the construction of the Santa Teresa Fire Station. Qualification Packages were received from four (4) contractors.

Following a competitive review and interview process, the Zumwalt Construction team was determined to be the best Design Build Entity to complete the Santa Teresa Fire Station.

BACKGROUND
The new Santa Teresa Fire Station will improve service coverage and response times for the residents and businesses of Gilroy and replace the current temporary station located at the Ranchside Portion of Christmas Hill Park. The proposed station will be located on a 1.36-acre city-owned parcel at the southeast corner of West Luchessa Avenue and Miller Avenue. The station will be approximately 6,500 square feet in size and include two apparatus bays, dormitory space, kitchen, offices, restrooms, and support areas, with site improvements and emergency power provisions. The station will be “all-electric” and provide vehicle charging station(s). The station is a “Critical Facility” and subject to enhanced design and construction standards. As recommended, the station will not include solar installation (see below for additional details).

The City of Gilroy entered into a Development Agreement in 2005 with the Glen Loma Group to build housing along Santa Teresa Boulevard. This agreement also required delivery of a turnkey fire station prior to the 1,100th building permit. Due to a variety of factors, the project was delayed. In November 2024, the City and developer agreed that the station would be built by the City provided Glen Loma: 1) conveyed the 1.36 acre parcel to the City; and 2) Glen Loma provides funding toward construction. The parcel was conveyed and a final payment of $3.6 million is due upon the recording of a final map covering any portion of Tentative Map 24-03 per agreement. On November 8, 2022, Gilroy voters approved a Charter Amendment to allow for Design-Build procurement process within by the City of Gilroy. Design-Build is an alternative method for delivery of public projects that provides many improvements and benefits when compared to the traditional approach of Design-Bid-Build. The Design-Build methodology allows for a few key benefits, notably:
• A single point of responsibility for both design and construction, which leads to fewer disputes or delays regarding scope, errors, or omissions. • Faster project delivery times due to phases being able to overlap.

5.1. • Costs are more clearly defined earlier in the process due to Guaranteed Maximum Prices or Fixed Based Prices being developed earlier through bridging documents.
• Reduces risk and frequency of Change Orders, which helps keep the project on budget and schedule.

In June 2025, the City issued the Request for Proposals to procure Construction Management with Master Architectural (CM-MA) services to develop program verification, bridging documents, and manage the Design-Build Entity through final design, construction, and project closeout. Griffin Structures was selected as the CMMA based on several factors, including their extensive experience delivering over 100 public safety facilities statewide, including numerous fire stations and Design-Build projects, their specialized Design-Build expertise, with Certified Construction Managers and Design-Build Institute of America professionals on staff to oversee every phase from programming through occupancy, and their demonstrated understanding of the City’s needs, schedule, and budget objectives, with an approach designed to minimize risk and ensure compliance with state and local codes. Griffin Structure's Bridging Documents are attached to this staff report as Attachment 4.

In April 2026, the City issued a Request for Qualifications and Sealed Proposals soliciting Design-Build Services to procure Design-Build Architectural and Construction Services to advance the project through design development, construction documents, permitting, and construction, while verifying all site conditions, coordinating with applicable authorities having jurisdiction, and delivering a fully integrated and code compliant facility (see Attachment 3). In a Design-Build selection process, the City selects a project team with their lead contractor and a partner architectural team. These teams are evaluated on their ability to provide the needed service (qualifications) and subsequently the cost of their proposal. Qualification Packages were received from four (4) contractor teams.

ANALYSIS
The City received four Statements of Qualifications, which were reviewed by an internal evaluation committee in accordance with the published criteria. The evaluation committee evaluated and scored the Qualifications and advanced all four firms to the Sealed Cost Proposal evaluation. Following review and scoring of the Sealed Cost Proposals, the committee determined that all four teams warranted the opportunity to interview. Staff requested Best and Final Offers from each team following the interviews. Following the Interviews and review of Best and Final Offers, the internal committee provided a unanimous recommendation for Zumwalt Construction teamed with Teter Architecture to be the Design-Build Entity for this project. The Zumwalt team received the highest average score during the interview process. Their team also submitted the lowest cost Best and Final Offer. Their Qualifications and Best and Final Offer are attached to this staff report as Attachment 1.

5.1. The selection of the Zumwalt Construction team was based on several factors, including Zumwalt Construction’s and Teter Architecture’s extensive experience delivering public safety facilities statewide, including numerous fire stations and Design-Build projects, their specialized Design-Build expertise, and their demonstrated understanding of the City’s needs, schedule, and budget objectives, with an approach designed to complete the project on schedule and on budget, while minimizing risk and ensure compliance with applicable state and local codes. It was evident in the interview process that Zumwalt Construction and Teter Architecture staff had a strong professional relationship and that would limit design and construction conflicts. Their public safety projects completed include: CAL Fire Station No. 72 in Friant, which was completed on budget and two months ahead of schedule, and Fire Station No. 83 in Farmersville, which was completed under budget with minimal delays. Zumwalt is also in construction for three additional CAL Fire stations in Fresno County, specifically Hart Flat Fire Station No. 11, Cantua Creek Fire Station No. 92, and Fresno Fire Station No. 95, respectively. For all these projects, Zumwalt utilized architectural services from Teter, who will be the architect of record for Santa Teresa Fire Station. Zumwalt and Teter have a long history of partnering together on Design-Build projects. Pricing was a factor in the review committee’s evaluations, with Zumwalt Construction’s Best and Final Offer being the overall lowest total cost of the four received.

As part of the solicitation, the City requested bids for two additives: 1) extension of utilities to the “future use area” to the rear of the site; and 2) the addition of covered solar parking. Staff is recommending the inclusion of the utility extension at a cost of $66,285 due to the likelihood of future use and the challenge of extending the utilities after-the-fact. Staff is not recommending the inclusion of the covered solar parking at a cost of $416,585. While we recognize the desire to integrate sustainability, staff believes that absent the inclusion of battery storage, the benefits of the solar are limited, particularly given the 24-hour nature of a fire station. Staff has inquired about grant funds and have not identified any available for this purpose at present. Shifts in federal priorities and State budget challenges appear to be limiting new grant opportunities.

Covered solar is an item that could be readily be added later to the site. Zumwalt has proposed the inclusion of an additional $163,500 allowance for PG&E related work. This is an allowance and only payable if needed and authorized by the City. Given that PG&E approvals and work is a significant risk to schedule, staff is recommending inclusion of the allowance.

The cost of full Design-Build Services, as recommended, is $12,051,237, plus a Project Contingency in the amount of $228,318, with a total project cost of $12,279,555.

The contract will use the City’s new Design-Build form of agreement, and the scope of work and milestone schedule will be based on the proposal’s response timeframe and project phasing. The design and construction timeframe is anticipated to extend approximately 23 months, ending in May 2028. Zumwalt’s proposed schedule is attached to this staff report as Attachment 2. The schedule reflects a conservative

5.1. approach to wet weather considerations to start construction.

Proposed Project Schedule (in summary):

Phase 1 – Preconstruction – July 2026 through March 2027, approximately 9 months Phase 2 – Construction – April 2027 through April 2028, approximately 12 months Phase 3 – Project Closeout – April 2028 through May 2028, approximately 2 months Phase 4 – Santa Teresa Fire Station Opening – anticipated for June 2028

ALTERNATIVES

1. The City Council may choose to proceed with approval absent the utility extension additive and PG&E allowance. This alternative is not recommended for the reasons noted in the staff report Analysis section.

2. The City Council could include the covered solar parking additive. This is a policy decision for the City Council. Staff provided their rationale for not including within the Analysis section of the staff report.

3. The City Council could choose not to authorize the contract with the Zumwalt team. Staff does not recommend this option given the need for a new permanent fire station, the investment in process, the identification of a quality Design-Build Entity and the committed delivery price.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
This agreement with Zumwalt Construction is for an amount not to exceed $12,051,237 for Design-Build Services, plus $228,318 for Project Contingency, for a total project cost not to exceed $12,279,555.

Previously, the City Council approved an agreement with Griffin Structures for construction management and master architectural services not to exceed $1,163,000 related to the new Santa Teresa Fire Station, including assisting with design-build procurement, development of bridging documents, budget oversight, and project management.

This capital project is included in the adopted FY26-27 CIP as CIP Project 800290 in the Capital Projects Fund (400), with a total budget of $13,000,000, including CM-MA services and the design-build services. The combined project cost is $13,442,555, and additional appropriations of $442,555 is being requested to fully fund the project. A budget amendment is included as Attachment 5 for Council approval that pulls forward $11,500,000 from FY27 to FY26 and appropriates an additional $442,555.

The table below summarizes the total project cost and the funding sources.

5.1. The General Fund (100) and the Facilities Fund (615) have adequate fund balances to support the interfund loans and will be reimbursed upon receipt of funds from the Glen Loma Ranch development project, which is responsible for providing the final $3,610,757 toward the construction of the fire station pursuant to the applicable development agreements. Receipt of these funds is anticipated following approval and recording of the final maps for the remaining neighborhoods, which are currently scheduled for City Council consideration in August 2026, thus the interfund loan is expected to be temporary in nature.

Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) is not included in the project budget and will be funded separately through the upcoming biennial operating and capital budget development process and is currently estimated to be around $500,000.

4. Project Understanding and Approach
Zumwalt Construction understands that the Santa Teresa Fire Station is more than a building project; it is a critical public safety facility intended to improve emergency response capabilities, support firefighter wellness, and serve the City of Gilroy for decades. The project must deliver a modern, durable, code-compliant, and operationally efficient fire station while maintaining cost control, schedule discipline, and alignment with the City’s established program and performance criteria.

The City’s bridging documents provide a strong basis of design, but successful delivery will require an experienced design-build team that can quickly validate the documents, identify gaps or coordination issues, confirm constructability, and advance the design through permit-ready construction documents without losing sight of the City’s budget, schedule, and operational priorities. Our approach is built around early alignment, transparent communication, and disciplined design-to-budget management.

Zumwalt recently received the award for the Hart Flat Fire Station 11 project with Kern County, which utilizes the same bridging document approach to design-build delivery. That experience is directly relevant to Santa Teresa Fire Station. On Hart Flat, our team was selected to take County-provided bridging documents and advance them through design development, permitting, value analysis, constructability review, and final construction pricing. This recent award demonstrates our understanding of how to manage the transition from owner-defined criteria to a coordinated, permitready design while protecting the owner’s intent, budget, and schedule.

Our approach begins with a structured project kickoff involving the City, Griffin Structures, the design team, key trade partners, and applicable agencies. We will confirm project goals, decision-making protocols, schedule milestones, reporting requirements, and design review expectations. Early in the process, we will prepare a responsibility matrix, design milestone schedule, permitting roadmap, long-lead procurement log, and risk matrix to ensure the team is aligned before design advancement begins.

Because this project is being delivered from 100% schematic-level bridging documents, our team will perform an immediate constructability and scope-gap review. This review will focus on code compliance, site grading and drainage, utility coordination, apparatus access and circulation, structural and MEP system integration, fire station alerting, essential services requirements, long-term durability, and maintainability. Any questions or potential conflicts will be elevated early so they can be resolved before they create cost or schedule impacts.

Cost control will be managed continuously as the design advances. We will track design decisions against the established GMP, provide milestone cost updates, identify budget trends early, and present value-conscious options that preserve the City’s program and performance requirements. Our goal is not to redesign the project, but to refine it into a coordinated, constructible, and cost-effective solution that meets the City’s operational needs.

Zumwalt will also prioritize agency coordination. We understand the DBE is responsible for advancing the project through permitting and coordinating with authorities having jurisdiction, utility providers, and City departments. Our team will establish an agency coordination log and proactively manage plan check comments, utility applications, fire department requirements, stormwater requirements, and inspection expectations to minimize delays.

Communication will be consistent, transparent, and action-oriented. We anticipate weekly project meetings during design and preconstruction, monthly schedule and cost reporting, clear meeting minutes, updated decision logs, and early escalation of items requiring City input. Our experience on fire station and public agency work has shown that timely decisions, clear documentation, and early trade involvement are the keys to maintaining momentum.

Ultimately, our approach is to function as a true design-build partner: protect the City’s program intent, advance the bridging documents into a complete and coordinated design, maintain budget and schedule discipline, and deliver a highquality fire station that supports Gilroy’s firefighters and the community they serve.

5. Schedule and Delivery Capacity
Zumwalt Construction understands that schedule performance is a key priority for the Santa Teresa Fire Station project.

The City’s RFQ/P specifically evaluates each Design-Build Entity’s ability to deliver projects on or ahead of schedule, manage project schedules, overlap design and construction activities, identify schedule risks, and procure long-lead items early to support expedited delivery. The project also requires the DBE to advance the City’s 100% schematic-level bridging documents through permitted construction documents while maintaining cost control, schedule discipline, and alignment with the established GMP.

Zumwalt has a proven history of meeting project milestones. In the history of our company, we have never been assessed liquidated damages. We have consistently delivered projects on time or ahead of schedule by establishing realistic baseline schedules, identifying critical path activities early, maintaining frequent communication with owners and design teams, and proactively resolving issues before they affect the completion date.

Our schedule approach begins during preconstruction. Immediately after award, we will develop a comprehensive project schedule that incorporates design advancement, agency review, permitting, procurement, early construction opportunities, inspections, commissioning, closeout, and City occupancy milestones. This schedule will be supported by a detailed submittal log, procurement log, agency coordination log, and risk matrix. We will update the schedule regularly and use weekly look-ahead schedules with our subcontractors and design partners to maintain accountability at the field level.

Zumwalt recently demonstrated this approach on the completed Fire Station 72 project in Friant, California. Fire Station 72 was a design-build public safety project with an extremely tight timeline. To accelerate delivery, our team worked closely with the County of Fresno to obtain early permits for at-risk grading, the building pad, and site utilities while the design team completed the remaining permit documents and building permit review. This overlap of design, permitting, and construction activities saved approximately two months from the overall project duration and allowed the project to maintain momentum without compromising quality or coordination.

We will apply the same fast-track mindset to Santa Teresa Fire Station. Where appropriate, we will evaluate opportunities for early procurement and early construction activities, such as grading, utility coordination, long-lead electrical equipment, generator procurement, mechanical equipment, apparatus bay doors, fire station alerting systems, and other schedulesensitive scopes. The RFQ/P allows early and incremental construction activities to be evaluated and presented to the City for approval when beneficial to the schedule.

Our team also understands that schedule success on this project will depend heavily on early agency and utility coordination. We will proactively coordinate with the City of Gilroy, Griffin Structures, the Building Division, Fire Department, utility providers, testing and inspection agencies, and applicable authorities having jurisdiction. Our objective is to reduce surprises during plan check, resolve utility and permit issues early, and maintain a clear path from design completion to construction start.

Zumwalt’s schedule approach is built on planning, communication, and accountability. We do not wait for problems to become delays. We identify risks early, assign responsibility, track decisions, and keep the City informed with clear schedule updates and recovery strategies when needed. This disciplined approach, combined with our proven designbuild fire station experience, gives the City confidence that Zumwalt can deliver the Santa Teresa Fire Station efficiently, collaboratively, and on schedule.

6. Project Controls and Risk Management
Zumwalt Construction understands that effective project controls and risk management are essential to the successful delivery of the Santa Teresa Fire Station. The City’s RFQ/P identifies cost tracking, budget management, and the identification and management of project risks as the primary evaluation considerations for this section. Our approach is built around early visibility, disciplined documentation, transparent communication, and proactive issue resolution.

From the outset, Zumwalt will establish a clear project controls framework that allows the City, Griffin Structures, the design team, and key trade partners to understand where the project stands at all times. Our team will use Procore for project documentation, RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes, cost events, change management, document control, and field reporting. This creates a single, organized platform for tracking decisions, maintaining accountability, and preserving a clear project record.

Cost control will begin immediately after award. Because the project will be advanced from the City’s 100% schematiclevel bridging documents into final construction documents, Zumwalt will continuously track design development against the established GMP. At each design milestone, we will review scope changes, drawing evolution, constructability items, material selections, and subcontractor input to identify any cost trends before they become budget issues. When a potential variance is identified, our team will present the City with clear options, including cost impacts, schedule impacts, life-cycle considerations, and recommendations for maintaining alignment with the project budget.

Risk management will be handled through a living risk matrix that is created at project kickoff and updated throughout design, permitting, procurement, and construction. The risk matrix will identify each issue, responsible party, potential cost or schedule impact, mitigation strategy, and required decision date. Typical risks we will monitor include bridging document gaps, utility coordination, plan check comments, long-lead equipment, site conditions, stormwater requirements, essential services requirements, subcontractor availability, escalation, and owner decision points.

Zumwalt’s risk management philosophy is simple: identify early, communicate clearly, and solve collaboratively. We do not allow issues to linger until they become change orders or schedule delays. Our project manager and superintendent will work closely with the City and design team to resolve questions quickly, document decisions, and keep the work moving. Weekly meetings will include review of RFIs, submittals, procurement, cost trends, schedule risks, and upcoming decisions required from the City.

During construction, Zumwalt will maintain tight control of field production, quality, safety, and cost exposure. Change events will be documented promptly and reviewed for entitlement, pricing, schedule impact, and available mitigation before proceeding. Subcontractor performance will be monitored through weekly coordination meetings, look-ahead schedules, manpower reviews, and field inspections. This ensures that risks are managed in real time rather than after they affect the project.

Our experience delivering public agency and design-build projects has reinforced the importance of disciplined project controls. For Santa Teresa Fire Station, Zumwalt will provide the City with a transparent, accountable, and proactive management process that protects the GMP, reduces surprises, supports timely decisions, and delivers a high-quality public safety facility with confidence.

As an example of our project controls process, Zumwalt has included a sample risk matrix prepared for the SCCCD New Police Station and Data Center project as an attachment to this SOQ. This matrix demonstrates how our team identifies, categorizes, tracks, and manages project risks from the earliest stages of design and preconstruction.

7. Subcontractor Strategy and Market Approach
Zumwalt Construction understands that the City will evaluate this section based on the identification of key subcontractors and trade partners, as well as the approach to subcontractor procurement and management. Our strategy is to engage qualified design consultants, engineers, and key trade partners early so the project benefits from real-time constructability input, accurate market pricing, value engineering, and early identification of long-lead items.

For the Santa Teresa Fire Station, Zumwalt has selected and prequalified the following design consultants, engineers, and subcontractors:

Team Member Scope
TETER Architects Architectural, Structural, Interior Design MVE Civil Engineering
Designlab252 Landscape Design
Fire Systems Solutions Fire Sprinkler and Fire Alarm Design Tarrar Utility
Consultants
PG&E Electric Design/ Joint Trench Utility
Coordination
Fresno Plumbing Plumbing
Patton HVAC
Rex Moore Electrical/ Low-Voltage

This team was selected because of its relevant fire station and public safety experience, available horsepower to support an expedited design schedule, and proven ability to contribute meaningfully during preconstruction. Each partner understands that success on a design-build fire station requires more than preparing drawings or providing a bid. It requires active participation in scheduling, constructability reviews, design-to-budget decisions, value engineering, utility coordination, and long-lead procurement planning.

A key component of our market and schedule strategy is the early involvement of Tarrar Utility Consultants. Tarrar provides a significant schedule and coordination benefit by advancing the applicant-side utility design rather than waiting for PG&E or other utility providers to drive the process from start to finish. Their scope includes PG&E electric design, joint trench composite design, preliminary routing, transformer and service location coordination, utility applications, lowvoltage provider coordination, trench details, bid documents, and support through utility review and approval.

By engaging Tarrar early, our team can identify utility conflicts, service routing requirements, tie-in points, clearance issues, and cost impacts during design instead of discovering them during construction. This proactive approach helps compress the front-end utility design timeline, reduce redesign and resubmittals, improve bid clarity, and protect the overall project schedule, while still allowing PG&E and other utility providers to complete their required reviews and approvals.

Our selected design and trade partners will be engaged immediately following award to review the City’s bridging documents, validate assumptions, identify scope gaps, and help advance the project toward a coordinated permit-ready design. Their early involvement will allow Zumwalt to provide the City with practical recommendations that balance operational functionality, durability, cost, schedule, and long-term value.

Zumwalt also utilizes BuildingConnected for subcontractor procurement and bid management throughout the preconstruction process. BuildingConnected allows our team to organize bid packages, distribute documents, manage bidder communication, track subcontractor interest, issue addenda, compare proposals, and maintain a transparent procurement record. This process improves bid coverage, reduces missed scope, supports competitive pricing, and allows our estimating team to maintain clear documentation of the market response.

For scopes that are not already identified as part of the proposed DBE team, Zumwalt will follow applicable public works and design-build procurement requirements. We will establish clear scopes of work, reasonable qualification criteria, bid due dates, and evaluation procedures to ensure subcontractors are qualified, responsive, properly licensed, DIRregistered, and capable of meeting the project’s schedule and quality expectations.

During construction, subcontractor management will be handled through weekly coordination meetings, short-interval schedules, submittal and procurement tracking, manpower planning, quality control inspections, and safety oversight.

Zumwalt’s project manager and superintendent will work directly with each trade partner to ensure field installation is properly sequenced, coordinated, and aligned with the approved construction documents.

Our subcontractor strategy is built on early engagement, disciplined procurement, and proactive management. By combining a prequalified design-build team with structured market outreach through BuildingConnected and early utility design support through Tarrar, Zumwalt will provide the City of Gilroy with a strong, responsive, and accountable team capable of delivering the Santa Teresa Fire Station efficiently and successfully.

RE: Zumwalt Construction, Inc. – Five (5) Year Experience Modification Rating (EMR) History Adjusted for Field Only / Non-Clerical Loss
The purpose of this letter is to verify and explain the experience modification rating (EMR) factors developed specifically for Zumwalt Construction, Inc.’s Construction & Field Employees, not including those factors from claims involving clerical or sales employees.

EMR Effective Date EMR Factor Field-Only
Adjusted EMR Factor
9/1/26 – 9/1/27 0.86 0.86
9/1/25 – 9/1/26 0.84 0.84
9/1/24 – 9/1/25 1.29 0.97
9/1/23 – 9/1/24 1.05 0.77
9/1/22 – 9/1/23 1.01 0.83
Five (5) Year Average 1.01 0.85
As noted in the table, Zumwalt Construction, Inc.’s historical Field-Only Adjusted EMR is exemplary and averages over 15 points below the common industry thresholds of 1.00-1.05.

The overall “safety” rating of a contractor is important in determining a company’s safety environment at their construction sites. The Field-Only Adjusted EMR is far more representative of the practical, site-safety and projected losses applicable to future work and is becoming a much more common tool in project prequalification.

The Adjusted EMR factor is calculated by using the exact same EMR Calculation Model used by the California WCIRB in calculating their factor.

RFQ/P OVERVIEW
Introduction
The City of Gilroy is a charter city located in southern Santa Clara County with a population of approximately 60,000. The City is a council-administrator form of government with the mayor elected at large for a four-year term and six City Councilmembers who are elected at large for four-year terms. Development activity in the original Gilroy town site dates back to the early 1800’s, with the City formally incorporating in 1870. Since then, the City has experienced several annexations and growth periods throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

Information regarding the City and its organization, such as government structure, services provided, the current Operating and Capital Budgets, Annual Financial Reports, and the most recent Comprehensive Fee Schedule, is available on the City website at www.cityofgilroy.org.

The Santa Teresa Fire Station Construction Project (Project) will establish a modern, highperforming hub for fire and emergency response services in the City of Gilroy, advancing the City’s public safety capabilities through a thoughtfully phased, design-build approach. Located at the southeast corner of West Luchessa Avenue and Miller Avenue, the project will deliver a codecompliant, resilient facility designed to support fire personnel with efficient operations, durable infrastructure, and long-term adaptability. The Santa Teresa Fire Station is intended to serve Gilroy’s growing community by strengthening emergency response capabilities and enhancing public safety services for decades to come.

The City of Gilroy is seeking interested and qualified contractors to submit statements of qualification about your firm’s ability to provide Design-Build Construction Services to the City for the construction of the new Santa Teresa Fire Station, and a separate sealed Cost Proposal to be evaluated if your firm advances through the Qualifications Evaluation. The Project will be delivered using a Design-Build delivery method under a single Agreement between the City and the Design-Build Entity (DBE). A Notice to Proceed will be issued upon the City’s acceptance of the Guaranteed Maximum Price, agreement on the Project Schedule and Completion Date, and execution of an Agreement confirming these terms. All work products and electronic files produced by the DBE shall become the property of the City and may be used by the City for any purpose, including continuation of the Project with another DBE should the need arise.

The City intends to select a DBE consisting of a general contractor, architect, key sub consultants, and key trade contractors (collectively the Design-Build Entity or DBE) based on the evaluation process outlined in this RFQ/P. Your submission should clearly demonstrate how your firm’s resources and expertise can meet the construction needs of the City’s project. This Request for Qualifications and Proposal (RFQ/P) outlines the general scope of the City's project construction needs.

v
Overview-Intent and Selection Process
The intent of this RFQ/P is as follows:
• To evaluate and select up to four DBE, based on Statement of Qualifications, to move into the Cost Proposal evaluation.
• To evaluate and select one DBE from the Cost Proposals to be recommended to City Council for contract award to provide Design-Build Services for the Santa Teresa Fire Station Construction Project.

The RFQ/P for the Santa Teresa Fire Station Construction Project will follow a two-step process.

Any interested DBE will submit two separately sealed proposals. The first proposal will be your Statement of Qualifications. The City will evaluate each interested DBE’s specific qualifications and experience in construction of Design-Build projects and select up to four of the best qualified firms to advance into the second round of review. The selected firms will be notified of their advancement into the Design-Build Construction Services Proposals Evaluation Process by the City. The City and its consultant team will review the sealed Cost Proposals for evaluation and scoring. Following initial review and scoring, interviews will be held with the pre-approved firms.

The City will select one of the pre-approved firms to be recommended to the City Council for the Design-Build Agreement (Agreement).

The Agreement is subject to approval by the Gilroy City Council, and the Council reserves the right to not award any such Agreement. The City also reserves the right to select a non-preapproved firm through a separate selection process if it determines that the needs of the City are best served by doing so.

Project Needs and Core Objectives
The City of Gilroy is seeking a qualified and collaborative Design-Build Entity (DBE) to deliver the Santa Teresa Fire Station in a manner that advances the City’s long term public safety goals while remaining cost effective, innovative, and responsive to the community. The City, through its project management consultant, Griffin Structures, Inc., will be involved in managing the project, attending pre-construction and periodic construction status meetings, as well as problem solving and approving change orders. The City will rely on the DBE for daily management of the Project. The selected DBE will be expected to align with the following core objectives:

1. Expedited Delivery
A primary objective of the project is timely delivery. The DBE is expected to mobilize promptly, proactively coordinate design and construction activities, and sequence work efficiently to bring the Santa Teresa Fire Station online as early as practicable.

2. Cost Effectiveness and Ingenuity
The City is committed to delivering a high-quality facility within available funding. The DBE should propose creative and cost-conscious solutions that maintain operational functionality, durability, and constructability while identifying opportunities for long term value and lifecycle cost savings. Value based decision making and efficiency in delivery are strongly encouraged.

3. Integrated Design and Construction Schedule

vi
The project will be delivered using a design build approach. The DBE will receive 100 percent schematic level bridging documents and associated performance criteria, which are provided as Attachment 2, and will be responsible for advancing the project through design development, construction documents, permitting, and construction. A coordinated and proactive schedule that advances design and construction concurrently is critical to achieving project goals. The DBE shall also be responsible for coordination, design, and delivery of all required utility services, including off-site improvements and coordination with applicable agencies.

4. High Quality, Functional, and Future Ready Design
The completed facility must support the operational, safety, and wellness needs of today’s fire personnel while allowing for future adaptability. This includes efficient space planning, durable and low maintenance materials, and thoughtful design strategies that enhance response times, resilience, and long-term performance.

5. Collaborative and Transparent Delivery Approach
A strong and integrated working relationship among the DBE, the design team, and City stakeholders is essential to project success. The DBE must demonstrate a collaborative team structure, clear and proactive communication practices, and a proven track record delivering public sector design build projects, particularly fire stations or other public safety facilities.

A draft schedule for this RFQ/P is given below. Please keep in mind that schedules are subject to change.

DESIGN-BUILD AND PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY AND GUIDELINES
A Contractor that enters into an initial contract to perform pre-construction work for a Design-Build Project may be considered an “officer” of the City and thus may have an organizational conflict-ofinterest with respect to subsequent contracts for the same project. (Government Code section 1090) A Contractor may be considered a City officer if they engage in or advise on the making of the subsequent contract. For example, a Contractor may be considered a City officer if they prepare or assist the City with a portion of the City’s request for proposals, request for qualifications, or other solicitation regarding a subsequent contract with the City.

A Contractor that participated in the making of a subsequent contract is prohibited from submitting a proposal for a project that pertains to that subsequent contract, either individually, or by joining a project team, unless the Contractor’s participation falls within one of the exceptions defined in Government Code section 1097.6. That section provides in part as follows, and the entire section is incorporated into this document by reference:
(a) (1) For a public entity that has entered into a contract with an independent contractor to perform one phase of a project and seeks to enter into a subsequent contract with that independent contractor for a later phase of the same project, the independent contractor is not an “officer” under this article if the independent contractor’s duties and services related to the initial contract did not include engaging in or advising on public contracting on behalf of the public entity. (2) For purposes of this section, “engaging in or advising on public contracting” means preparing or assisting the public entity with any portion of the public entity’s preparation of a request for proposals, request for qualifications, or any other solicitation regarding a subsequent or additional contract with the public entity.
(b) (1) If an independent contractor is an officer under subdivision (a), then it is not a violation of this article for the public entity to enter into a subsequent contract with that independent contractor for a later phase of the same project if the independent contractor did not engage in or advise on the making of the subsequent contract during its performance of the initial contract. (2) For purposes of this section, an independent contractor does not “engage in or advise on the making of the subsequent contract” by participating in the planning, discussions, or drawing of plans or specifications during an initial stage of a project if that participation is limited to conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications and all bidders or proposers for the subsequent contract have access to the same information, including all conceptual, preliminary, or initial plans or specifications.

A Contractor that has been awarded a contract, prior to entering a contract with other agents or subcontractors, shall ensure that its agents and subcontractors do not have a conflict-of-interest pursuant to Government Code section 1090 or this Conflict of Interest Policy.

2 If a conflict-of-interest is discovered after a contract award, the Contractor must make an immediate and full written disclosure to the City. Resolution of any conflict or potential conflict will be at the sole discretion of the City. Every contract or subcontract made in violation of Government Code section 1090 or this Conflict of Interest Policy may be voided. (Government Code section 1092) If the contract is voided, terminated, amended, or cancelled, the City assumes no obligation, responsibility, or liability to reimburse all, or part of the costs incurred or alleged to have been incurred by the Contractor. Additionally, the City shall be entitled to recover any and all payments made to the Contractor subsequent to the date when the Contractor became aware of or should have become aware of the existence of the conflict-of-interest.

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE
This Conflict of Interest Policy shall be incorporated by reference into and included as part of all City of Gilroy Design-Build project requests for qualifications and requests for proposals, and all City of Gilroy Design-Build contracts.

One double detector check assemblies with a 2-way fire department connection (FDC ) will be installed.

One fire hydrant with 1-4” and 2 -2.5” outlets is also proposed. Fire water pipes shall be C900 PVC (DR -14).

3. Sanitary Sewer System
A new sanitary sewer service lateral will be connected to the existing 4-inch sewer lateral behind the sidewalk in Luchessa Avenue. It is assumed that this existing sewer has the capacity to receive sewer flow generated from the proposed development and is deep enough so that gravity flow can be maintained.

The roofed trash enclosure runoff will be directed to the onsite sanitary sewer system.

Wash water from the exterior vehicle washdown area will be directed to a sand/oil separator before discharging in to the onsite sanitary sewer system via a Fox Drain system .

Sanitary sewer pipes shall be PVC (SDR 35) installed with slopes equal to or greater than 1 percent minimum. Sewer cleanouts shall be installed at changes in pipe direction and at intervals of 100 feet maximum.

4. Storm Drain System
Stormwater treatment shall comply with the City of Gilroy requirements and C.3 Stormwater Handbook .

Hydromodification is anticipated because of the increase in impervious areas from the existing condition.

Since i nfiltration is feasible based on the percolation test results shown in the Geotechnical Report , bioretention basins without underdrains are proposed to allow some storage and infiltration into the native soil. Location of these basins such as setbacks from the Right -of-Way, Structure’s footing etc., has to be reviewed and approved by the Geotechnical Engineer . Other infiltration BMP s such as subsurface infiltration systems utilizing underground pipes or vaults to store and infiltrate runoff can also be an a lternative.

The proposed development will capture the majority of the storm runoff through drain inlets and catch basins. Drain inlets/catch basins will be installed at various locations in the landscaped areas.

Runoff will be treated through infiltration BMPs before discharging into the existing public storm drain system in Luchessa Avenue.

Basis of Design Narrative | City of Gilroy, Santa Teresa Fire Station | April 3, 2026 LPA Project No.: 33236 | Page 8

Storm runoff from the exterior vehicle washdown area will be directed to the onsite storm drain system with a Fox Drain system.

Onsite storm drain conveyance shall be PVC SDR 35 for pipe sizes 4” to 10” and HDPE for pipe sizes 12” and up. Drain inlets shall be precast concrete or HDPE and will range from 6 -inch round to 24” square grates. Planter drains shall be 4 -inch or 6 -inch round black atrium drains. Storm drain cleanouts shall be installed at changes in pipe direction and at intervals of 100 feet maximum. Drain basins shall be installed in lieu of cleanouts for pipes larger than 12”.

F. EROSION CONTROL
BMP’s (Best Management Practices) and erosion control requirements will be stipulated on the Erosion Control Plan, to be prepared by the design consultant.

Since the limits of disturbance exceed 1 -acre, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required, to be prepared by the design consultant.

The Design -Build Entity shall be required to employ the services of a Qualified SWPPP Practitioner (QSP). The QSP shall be required to download copies of the approved SWPPP from the State and will be responsible for implementation and enforcement of the SWPPP and the Erosion Con trol Plan during construction.

Within 90 days of construction completion, the Design -Build Entity 's QSP shall electronically file a Notice of Termination, NOT, to the State Water Board's SMARTS system.
