1.1 Codes and References
The As-Built documents provided indicate the Building was designed under the 1979 Building code.

The ASCE 41-17, Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings is utilized as the reference document for the Evaluation. Due to the Essential Facility status, Occupancy Category IV, the Benchmark date for the building is set from Table 3.2, which stipulates a benchmark date of 1998.

Benchmark dates are the code threshold to where a building is deemed to comply. The Benchmark date is after the Code date use of the original design. ASCE 41 is therefore applicable. See Attachment 2 for ASCE 41 Tier 1 checklist
The evaluation methodology utilized is Basic Performance Objective Equivalent to New Building Standards. (BPON), Category IV, Immediate Occupancy.

2.0 Design Results and Identified Deficiencies
In general, the documents indicate a structure which is regular, has a logical load path, and designed in apparent conformance with the 1797 Uniform Building Code. The verification to current code standards produce a few areas where retrofit would be recommended. The building appears to be is good to excellent condition.

The ASCE 41-17 BPON seismic base shear values yield Allowable Strength Design Base Shear Levels as indicated below : (See calculations Attachment 1)
See the Shearwall Key Plan in Figure 1
V=.20 ASD Plywood Shearwall R = 6.5
The shearwalls were analyzed to current code level, and all wall shears are within permissible limits.

Overturning on grids 1 and 4 have Simpson HD 7N anchors, which have a capacity less than the calculated value. This was anticipated, the large apparatus bay doors limit the permissible length of shearwall, resulting in increased overturning. The foundation under the highly loaded piers on either side of the app bay doors is also of inadequate size.

The As-Built drawings provide information as to the anchorage of the 6” slump stone veneer located on parts of wall on all elevations. This veneer is of considerable weight and adds measurable seismic mass to the building. Of potential concern is the current longevity of the veneer anchorage system.

The anchorage is noted as (Sheet S1 Veneer Notes):

Minimum 22 Ga corrosion resistant sheet metal (1”) or is of wire shall be of min #9 wire. Anchors shall be spaced so as to not support more than 2 square feet on center horizontally. Anchor Ties shall be provided to horizontal joint reinforcement wire of #9 Ga or equivalent. Notes call for mortar to be slushed into the 1” space between the veneer and the sheathing on studs.

Heavy veneer performance in seismic events is in question. The lateral displacement of a veneer panel without control joints is generally not compatible with the ductile displacement of the plywood shear walls, with the veneer being considerably more rigid.

Current code criteria recognized the potential long term performance issues of veneer anchorage, and seismic performance, and has revised the requirements. CBC 1404.6.2 indicates masonry veneer shall be anchored per 12.2.2.11 of TMS 402 (The Masonry Society). The anchorage requirements of this

322
section is 18: o.c. max each way, maximum anchorage area 2.67 sq ft x .7 = 1.87 sq ft. n a building of this type, that would yield anchors at 16” on center horizontally and 18” o.c. vertically. The existing anchorage does not meet current code recommendations.

Figure 3 Exterior Elevations Indicating Extent of Exterior Veneer Summary of identified building lateral deficiencies:
• Grid 1 and 4, Uplift Anchors and Foundation inadequate. o The repair would be strengthening the shear components on either side of the App Bay doors, providing new foundation and retrofitted uplift mechanism Rough Order of Magnitude Retrofit Costs (ROM): $100,000

323
• Grid 1, and 4 from B to C Chord Splice inadequate for chord force. o The repair would utilize the addition of a Simpson CS strap applied to the top of the plywood sheathing, full length of the grid, with blocking below.

ROM $25,000
• Existing Masonry Veneer Anchorage
o Current code criteria has more stringent anchorage requirements. If architectural considerations permit, the building structure mass reduction and masonry anchorage inadequacies would benefit from the removal of the 6” slump stone Veneer o ROM Architect to Determine
• Diaphragms so not indicate blocking at plywood sheathing edges. Retrofit at high roof recommended.
o Add 3 x blocking and nailing at unblocked edges over App Bay. o ROM $15,000
• Miscellaneous Seismic Anchorage and Contingency
o ROM $10.00 psf @ 14,000 SF $140,000
The ROM costs are estimates of probable cost and do not include the impact to, or replacement of services and finishes required to be removed and replaced during the retrofit. We are not cost estimators, and costs shall be verified by a cost analysis professional.

In addition to the base building review, the non-structural components were visually verified. The nonstructural components include mechanical systems, architectural attachments, cabinets, piping, ceiling systems, etc. Services in the attic space were unable to be viewed due to the hard lid ceilings and limited access.

As an essential facility, there are rigid requirements for bracing of these components.

Observed items include:
• HWH is braced, no retrofit requirement (see photo 17) • Diesel Fuel Tank is bolted to the Foundation, no retrofit required. (photo 10) • Generator is bolted to foundation, no retrofit requirement (photo 7) • Roof top mechanical units are not fastened to platform, retrofit required. (photo 14,15, 16) • Air Compressor is bolted to foundation, no retrofit requirement (photo 8) • Cabinets over 6 feet in height not bolted to wall, attachment required (photo 20)) • Extractor is anchored to foundation, No retrofit required (photo 11) It appears that there is potential for a remodel of the existing facility, and the preliminary plans indicate that the South end (Area A2 in Figure 2) could receive an expansion to the east and west in alignment with existing shearwalls.

Recommendations: Minimize the impact to Grid 1 and Grid 4 existing shearwalls.

Pocock Design Solutions, Inc. has been contracted by PBK Architects to perform an assessment of the existing mechanical and plumbing systems at the Palm Desert Fire Station 33 located at 44400 Town Center Dr, in Palm Desert, CA. The primary purpose of this assessment is to review and document the condition of existing mechanical and plumbing systems, identify apparent non-code-compliant systems, and provide recommendations for future tenant improvements. A site investigation was performed on March 21, 2023.

The facility was reviewed with the following codes:

CBC 2022………………………………………... California Building Code
CMC 2022……………………………………….. California Mechanical Code
CPC 2022……………………………………….. California Plumbing Code
CEC 2022………………………………………. . California Energy Code
CAL Green 2022………………………………… California Green Building Code Existing HVAC Conditions
The fire station is primary conditioned by five (5) rooftop packaged gas/electric a/c units located on the roof. The units are not original and have been replaced at various times throughout the past eight years. All of the units are in good condition but do not currently have outside air intakes or economizers for building ventilation.

Manufacturer Model Capacity (Tons) Date Manu.

Age
(years)
Carrier 48VL 5 2017 6
Carrier 48VL 5 2015 8
Carrier 48VL 5 2022 1
Carrier 48VL 5 2018 5
Carrier 48VL 4 2015 8
All of the packaged a/c units are horizontal discharge with the supply and return ductwork routed above the roof. The rooftop ductwork appears to be original and is in fair to poor condition. The units are all sitting on roof pads with sheet metal caps. It does not appear the units are currently anchored and are just resting on the roof pads. The unit located in the mechanical well does not fit on the existing roof pad and overhangs by a couple inches.

Each AC unit is controlled by a wall mounted electronic thermostat. The thermostats vary in age and functionality with some that are very basic with limited programmability and some that are more advanced with a touch screen interface.

The restrooms are typically exhausted by ceiling mounted exhaust fans with ductwork up to roof caps. The roof caps are basic bent sheet metal hoods. The ceiling exhaust fans are in fair to good condition. There is a utility set exhaust fan on the roof which serves the existing kitchen hood. It is anchored to wood blocks with a horizontal discharge. This fan is aged and in need of replacement. The workshop has a roof mounted centrifugal exhaust fan located on a curb on the low roof. There is no permanent access to this roof and the fan is located within 10’ of the roof edge with no parapet or fall protection. The fan appears to be in good to fair condition.

14451 Chambers Road, Suite 210, Tustin, CA 92780 Phone (949) 417-3903 Fax (949) 419-1393 The apparatus bay is semi-conditioned by four (4) evaporative cooling units located in a mechanical well on the north side. The units were manufactured in 2020 and are in good condition. The evaporative media within the units is worn to the expected condition for the age of the units and will need replacement in the next year or two. The mechanical well is very congested with the units stacked on built up metal framing. Ductwork is routed in the well to sidewall supply registers on the north side of the apparatus bay. Barometric relief louvers on the south side of the apparatus bay relieve the air when the evaporative coolers are in operation. The louvers appear to be functional although the system was not running at the time of survey. The as built documents indicate the app bay once had suspended gas-fired unit heaters but it appears these have been removed.

The apparatus bay has a Plymovent vehicle exhaust system with piped intakes routed to a utility set fan on the roof. The exhaust fan looks aged and in need of replacement.

There is a generator room adjacent to the app bay that is naturally ventilated with high and low louvers at the exterior wall. The generator exhaust pipe is routed out through the wall to the north.

A clothes dryer located in the workshop is vented through the exterior wall with flexible aluminum duct. Another dryer located in the central mechanical room is vented up through an existing ceiling register and then through the roof.

Recommendations
Single zone packaged a/c units controlled by a single thermostat have gone out of favor for this building application due to limited controllability of temperature from room to room. However, the existing packaged a/c units are in good condition with likely 10+ years of useful life remaining. If the layout of the interior of the building is to remain relatively unchanged, then the existing systems can remain as is. The existing ductwork on the roof is aged but can remain with minor clean and repair as required. It is recommended the existing a/c units be retrofitted with new economizers for improved indoor air quality and energy savings. Economizers are required per current energy code requirements. Recommend cleaning and resealing existing to remain ductwork within the building and replacing duct insulation. It is recommended all units to remain be anchored to the roof at the existing roof pads. If the building is to be re-roofed, it is recommended to remove the existing a/c units and reinstall them on new built-up roof curbs for improved weatherproofing.

If the interior of the building is to receive an extensive remodel with a modified floor layout or if the department is currently unhappy with the temperature control of the existing systems, then brand-new AC systems can be provided. All existing ductwork and systems would be removed and a completely new system would be provided. VRF systems with heat recovery are recommended which would include fan coil units throughout the building for complete independent temperature control from room to room.

The VRF system would include roof mounted condensing units and a central controller.

The existing evaporative coolers are in good condition and have significant useful life expectancy remaining. The interior media will need replacement in the next year or so which is typical for these units.

The existing ceiling exhaust fans are in good condition and can be cleaned and remain. If the building is to be re-roofed, it is recommended the existing roof caps be removed and replaced with new curb mounted caps for improved weatherproofing and durability.

The plumbing infrastructure appears to be original to the building and is approximately 42 years old. Domestic water piping within the building was observed to be copper and waste/vent piping observed to be cast iron. Per the as-built drawings, the existing domestic water service is 1-1/2” and the existing sewer lateral is 4”.

Plumbing fixtures within the building include tank type water closets, flush valve urinals, and lavatories with manual faucets. Fixtures appear to be in good condition.

The existing domestic hot water system consists of a central gas-fired instantaneous high-efficiency water heater and 99-gallon storage tank. The water heater was manufactured around 2015 and is in good condition. The system includes a circulating pump with timeclock and expansion tank. The expansion tank is currently supported by the piping it is connected to on the bottom. The water heater flue thru the roof terminates at a location that is within 10’ of an existing a/c unit. Although there is no current outside air intake at this unit, if one is to be added, the existing flue termination will need to be relocated.

The building is provided natural gas from the meter located on the north side of the building. Gas piping is black iron and mainly routed below the roof then stubbed up to the a/c units.

The apparatus bay includes area drains which are routed through an existing grease trap located below grade adjacent to the building.

Makeup water is provided to the evaporative cooling units located in the mechanical well through individual copper lines with angle stops and a central gate valve. A backflow prevention device was not observed on the water line feeding these units.

A hose bib could not be located on the roof near the mechanical units.

A generator and air compressor are located in a room adjacent to the apparatus bay. The air compressor is piped to outlets in the workshop. The compressed air piping was observed to be copper.

The kitchen includes a commercial gas range and hood which appear to be in good condition. It does not appear the building has a control station with gas shutoff valves connected to the emergency call system.

Plumbing Recommendations
The existing 1-1/2” cold water line is likely adequate for any tenant improvement scope but will continue to require the use of flush tank water closets in lieu of flash valve type.

The existing 4” sewer line is likely adequate for any tenant improvement scope. It is recommended the existing underground waste piping be inspected with a camera system to confirm there are no obstructions or broken pipes.

Any tenant improvement scope that requires removal of existing plumbing fixtures, will also require installation of new plumbing fixtures which are low-flow and compliant with current Cal Green requirements.

The existing domestic water heater and storage tank are in good condition with useful life expectancy remaining. This system can remain and be reused for any future tenant improvement scope. Recommend reinstalling the existing expansion tank with proper support and attachment per code requirements.

It is recommended new hose bibb with vacuum breakers be provided on the roof for cleaning purposes.

Recommend providing new backflow preventer in existing domestic cold-water line that is feeding the evaporative cooling units in the mechanical well per code requirements.

Recommend installing new gas control station with automatic shutoff solenoid valve to kitchen with connection to the emergency call system.

The existing water heater flue termination will need to be relocated further than 10’ away from the new recommended outside air intake on the existing a/c unit on the roof.

Mr Needham,
The following is our evaluation of the electrical systems at the aforementioned fire station:

Existing Conditions:

Lighting
Building interior lighting consists primarily of fluorescent 2x4 and 1x4 light fixtures, incandescent downlight fixtures, wall mounted reading lights in the dorms, and H.I.D. fixtures in the Hose Tower. The fixtures appear to be in fair condition.

The 2x4, 1x4 and H.I.D. light fixtures do not have dimming capabilities and cannot meet current dimming requirements of the 2022 Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24) Light fixtures using incandescent lamps with screw-in bases do not comply with the high efficiency requirements of Title and must be replaced.

The Kitchen downlights and the lights in the newly remodeled restroom are controlled by occupant sensor. All other lighting controls consist of standard toggle switches that provide bi-level switching. The bi-level switching consists of two switches, configured in the traditional “a/b” configuration, that allows the occupant to turn “on” or “off” half the fixtures in the room. In addition to bi-level switching, the Corridor, Open Office, and Dayroom have 3-way switching.

The lighting controls do not meet the dimming and automatic shut-off control requirements of Title 24.

Switches connected to emergency circuits are not “red” in color, do not have “red” wall plates and are not identified as being connected to emergency circuits.

Lighting circuits are protected by standard thermal magnetic type circuit breakers. The circuit breakers cannot provide the arc fault circuit interrupter functions required by current codes.

Building exterior lighting consists of downlights recessed in the overhangs and soffits, wall mounted residential style dual head incandescent security flood light fixtures at the patio/BBQ area, wall pack fixtures at the return drive, and wall mounted floodlights at the response drive. The fixtures appear to be in fair to good condition. Wall pack and floodlight type fixtures are not shielded , therefore, not T24 compliant.

Riverside Co. Fire, Station #33
Palm Desert, CA
The building exterior light fixtures are controlled by time clocks located above panel A in the corridor leading to the App Bay from the Dayroom. The time clocks are not astronomical time clocks with daylight savings functions, therefore, do not meet current Title 24 requirements.

Site/Parking lot lighting consists of pole mounted fixtures, with H.I.D. lamps, mounted at approximately 10’-0” above grade. H.I.D. lamps do not meet current dimming and automatic control requirements. The site lighting fixtures are controlled by a time clock located above panel C in the Storage room adjacent to the generator room. The time clock is not an astronomical time clock with daylight savings functions, therefore, do not meet current Title 24 requirements.

The utility service is 600 amps and operates at 120/208V, 3 phase, 4 wire. The rating of the service is capable of serving the 200 Amps building demand load with 65% spare capacity for expansion.

The main service switchboard was manufactured by Square-D and uses Square-D “QMB” style fused switches as overcurrent devices. The switchboard is 30 plus years old, in fair condition, and replacement switches are available. One switch in the “off” position is labeled “Bad” and must be replaced. The switchboard does not have space to install additional 100A or larger switches and there is no space in the room to expand the gear, thus, restricting the addition of switches required to support the installation of panels for EV chargers and a PV power plant.

The main switchboard is located in the main Electrical room. The electrical room is compliant with the utility company requirements.

Branch circuit panels consist of commercial grade branch circuit panels and one residential grade load center. Panels A, B and C are commercial grade, in good condition, and replacement circuit breakers are readily available. The unmarked/not labeled residential grade load center is sub-fed from panel C and is part of the emergency power distribution system, it is in good condition and replacement circuit breakers are readily available. Emergency panel C is a 225A. panel and cannot carry the full load of the 100kW (300 Amps) generator.

Emergency panel C and the unmarked load center are not labeled or identified as emergency panels.

There are no arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) circuit breakers in the panels, AFCI circuit breakers are required to protect circuits serving the residential areas of the building.

The main switchboard and panels do not have Arc flash labels.

Receptacles are standard duplex grounding type and receptacles near the kitchen and bathroom sinks are GFI type.

However, the receptacles do not comply with current codes. Receptacles in residential (R Occupancy) areas must be tamper proof and either AFCI type or protected by an AFCI circuit breaker at the panel. Administrative (B Occupancy) areas, such as offices, conference rooms, lobbies, breakrooms, must have controlled receptacles within six feet of a standard receptacle, the controlled receptacles must be clearly identified and controlled by the room’s occupant sensor. All kitchen 120V. 15 or 20 amp receptacles must be GFI and protected by an AFCI circuit breaker. The Laundry room and App Bay receptacles must be GFI type.

Receptacles do not comply with current ADA mounting height requirements. ADA requires receptacles to be mounted at +48” maximum to the top of the box and +15” minimum to the bottom of the box, and +46” maximum to the top of box when located above counter tops.

Receptacles connected to emergency circuits are not “red” in color, do not have “red” wall plates and are not identified as being connected to emergency circuits.

Outdoor receptacles are GFI type. However, the covers are not U.L. listed for use in wet locations when “in-use”, therefore, do not meet code.

The 100kW (300 Amps) Caterpillar emergency generator, located in the Hose Tower room, is 40 plus years old and provides emergency power to the station upon loss of utility power. The station’s emergency power distribution system is designed to provide emergency power for life safety equipment and selected building loads, the system does not provide emergency power to the entire station.

The Zenith automatic transfer switch (ATS) appears to be the same vintage as the generator, is located in the main electrical room and remote from the generator. The ATS is obsolete, and in fair to good condition.

The Hose Tower room was not designed to house a generator. The room’s construction must be reviewed by a Structural Engineer to confirm the 2 hours fire rating requirement. The ventilation system and engine exhaust system must be reviewed by a Mechanical Engineer for compliance with current codes. The compressor located in the Hose Tower room must be relocated, only equipment related to the generator can reside in the generator room.

Fuel to the generator is supplied from a remote aboveground fuel tank.

Communications
The alerting system/base radio is operational and in good working condition. The system includes a Kenwood base radio with power supply, a Comtronix station control interface that manages the signaling and audio systems, a printer, a microphone, an amplifier, a stereo tuner, a media selector, and speakers throughout the station. The system is outdated and the Comtronix controller is obsolete. The equipment is located in the corridor leading to the App Bay from the Dayroom.

The telephone service enters the building underground and terminates on a backboard located in the main electrical room (north side of the App Bay). City/FD owned telephone cable is routed between the telephone company main point of entry (MPOE) in the electrical room Palm Desert Fire Station 33 & 71 Assessments Page 67

and the telephone switch in the Storage room located in the main building (south of the App Bay). Due to the nature of the Storage room, access to the terminals and telephone equipment may be obstructed by stored materials. The equipment should be relocated to a secure location accessible to only to authorized personnel.

There is no 911 phone at the front of the station.

The cable TV (CATV) service enters the building aboveground. From an underground utility box, located in the turf area near the west wall of the old hose drying area, the service cable transitions to aboveground and runs exposed along the wall of the building and enters the electrical room through a plastic sleeve in the wall and terminates in a terminal cabinet in the electrical room. CATV lines are distributed to the TV monitor in the Conference room and Dayroom. No other CATV line or drop was found during the site visit.

The entry doors to the station are equipped with entry keypads and a door bell push button that alerts FD personnel of visitors at the entry doors.

The data/computer network system consists of a router located in the Storage room. The system provides service to wall mounted station outlets and two wireless access points. Due to the nature of the Storage room, access to the network equipment may be obstructed by stored materials. The equipment should be relocated to a secure location accessible to only to authorized personnel.

Areas of the station, accessible to the public, did not have fire alarm coverage. The corridor leading to the dorms was equipped with a smoke detector. The dorms did not have smoke detectors, and there were no CO detectors.

Recommendations:

Lighting:

Replace all interior light fixtures with new high efficiency LED fixtures with dimming drivers.

Provide dimers in each room to control the new LED fixtures. Mount dimmers at ADA compliant mounting heights. Dimmers connected to emergency circuits are to be provided with “red” wall plates. The serving panel and circuit number should be engraved on the wall plate.

Provide ceiling mounted or wall switch type occupant sensors for perform the T24 required automatic building shut-off functions. Sensors in the non-residential areas of the station are to operate in “automatic” mode. Sensors in the residential areas of the station are to operate in “vacancy” mode. The vacancy setting ensures that lights do not automatically turn on when motion is detected, lights must be physically turned on and will shut off automatically.

Replace all building exterior light fixtures with new high efficiency LED fixtures with dimming drivers. Wall mounted fixtures are to be shielded to prevent light spill.

Replace the H.I.D. area/parking lot fixtures with new high efficiency LED fixtures. For compliance with current Title 24 requirements the fixtures are to be provided with a dimming driver and integral motion sensor that will allow the illumination levels to automatically dim to 50% when the surrounding area is unoccupied. Additional fixtures may be required to comply with the IES recommended foot-candle levels for security and safety purposes.

Replace the time clock with a new astronomical time clock and compatible photocell.

Provide AFCI circuit breakers for all lighting circuits serving the residential areas of the station.

Power:

Replace the main service switchboard, with a new switchboard that utilizes circuit breakers, to increase circuit capacity and facilitate the connection of the new generator for whole building back-up power, provide power to existing panels, HVAC equipment, the compressor and have space for circuit breakers to provide power for EV charging stations and a 40kW PV power plant. Replacement of the main service switchboard will require SCE to confirm the existing utility infrastructure is adequate to support the new service.

Remove the ATS from the electrical room and designate the vacated space for the installation of a solar AC disconnect switch and SCE meter.

Replace the panels with new commercial grade branch circuit panels and provide the panel with AFCI circuit breakers for circuits serving the residential areas. Trace all existing circuits and update the panel directories If existing panels are re-used, replace existing circuit breakers serving circuits in the residential areas of the station with AFCI circuit breakers.

Provide a new panel for EV charging stations.

Perform a short circuit and arc fault study to ensure panels are rated to withstand the available fault currents and to identify the arc flash boundaries. Provide arch flash labels for all panels Replace the receptacles in the residential areas with tamper proof receptacles. If AFCI circuit breakers are not provided, the new receptacles must be tamper proof AFCI type.

Provide controlled receptacles in offices, conference rooms, lobbies and breakrooms. The installation of controlled receptacles must be coordinated with the installation of occupant sensors.

Replace all kitchen receptacles with GFI receptacles. If AFCI circuit breakers are not provided, the new receptacles must be combination GFI/AFCI type.

Relocate receptacles as required to meet the ADA mounting height requirements.

Identify a new location for the compressor and reconnect to the serving panel.

Provide a new 180kW generator to provide stand-by power to the entire station. The 180kW generator would be capable of sustaining the existing 57.5 kW load (46kW demand + 25% per CEC Article 220.87) and have sufficient capacity for future EV chargers.

Assuming the Hose Tower room construction meets code, locate the new generator in the Hose Tower room in place of the removed generator and connect the new generator to the existing fuel lines. The fuel lines must be verified as being capable of providing the required fuel to the generator. Upgrade the ventilation system as required to meet the requirements of the new generator.

Locate the new ATS in the generator room and provide required interconnection between the ATS and the new switchboard, and the ATS and the generator.

Should the City decide not to provide stand-by power for the entire station and opt to maintain the current partial station stand-by power model, the minimum size of the new generator should be no less than 100kW, to match existing, and consideration should be given to increasing the size of the emergency power panel from 225A. to 400A. to ensure the station can accesses the full 347 Amps output of the new generator and accommodate the installation of future truck/apparatus electric vehicle chargers.

Where the current emergency power configuration is maintained, receptacles connected to emergency circuits must be replaced with “red” devices and wall plates. The serving panel and circuit number should be engraved on the wall plate.

Communications:

Construct a communications room or convert the Storage room, currently housing the various communications and alarm systems, into a communications room to house the base radio, alerting system head-end equipment, telephone equipment, CATV equipment and data/network equipment. Converting the Storage room into a communications room would minimize or eliminate the need to rewire the station outlets to terminate the systems cables at the new communications room.

Provide a new alerting system to work in conjunction with the base radio.

Relocate wall mounted telephone outlets as required to meet the ADA mounting height requirements.

Provide a 911 phone at the front of the station.

Rework the CATV service cabling to provide physical protection for the aboveground cable run. Contact the CATV company to discuss available options.

Provide additional ceiling mounted wireless access points (WAP) to ensure complete station coverage.

Dear Mr. Needham,
Per the request of PBK, our firm has performed a seismic assessment for the existing Palm Desert Fire Station 71. The assessment included a review of available as-built documents, a preliminary ASCE 41 evaluation and a field visitation, performed March 3, 2023. The filed visitation was provided to visually verify accessible structural components.

The as-built documents provided, where limited in completeness as it pertains to the original Structural design. The documents included:
1985 Original Building Plans - Sheets A1, A3, and M1.

John Outcault Architect, Palm Desert
2018 Plans, Enlargement of App Bay Doors – Sheets S1, S1.1, S1.2, S2- S5 Structural Calculations pertaining to the added Moment Frame BG Structural Engineering, Brian Gottlieb, Civil Engineer, Palm Desert

1.0 Project Description
The facility is a single-story building of approximately 5500 square feet, with a conventional wood frame system. The building utilizes a plywood horizontal diaphragm and plywood shearwall lateral system. The system is reasonably regular, possesses an apparent logical lateral load path. The original 1985 plywood shearwall layout is as identified Figure 1. The shearwall designations are indicated on the plan, but referenced to Sheet A6, which was not made available.

The 2018 Moment Frame added at the Apparatus Bay Door, is shown in Figure 2.

Roof framing at the low roof over Eastern side of the facility were visually verified as 2 x rafters at 24” o.c.

Visual verification was possible above the suspended ceiling for this portion, with the plywood shearwalls evident on the exterior walls and the East and North corridor walls as highlighted in Figure 1.

The roof over the Apparatus Bay is apparently framed with open web wood chord trusses, as indicated on the 2018 framing plan for the Apparatus Bay widening project (Figure 2) This was not able to be independently verified due to the hard lid ceilings, and the absence of a roof framing plan in the As-Built Documents.

The foundation system is concrete slab on grade with an assumed conventional used of concrete cast in place continuous and pad footings.

1.1 Codes and References
The Document preparation date of 1985 for the original construction, would suggest the potential use of the 1982 Uniform Building Code, but adoption of that edition of the UBC was irregular between Jurisdictions, and it is likely that the facility was designed under the 1979 Uniform Building Code. There was no identification of the utilized code identified on the few available as-built documents during our review.

The Apparatus Bay door enlargement project, prepared by BG Structural Engineering, was designed under the guidelines of the 2016 California Building Code, and includes current and applicable code criteria.

The ASCE 41-17, Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings is utilized as the reference document for the Evaluation. Due to the Essential Facility status, Occupancy Category IV, the Benchmark date for the building is set from Table 3.2, which stipulates a benchmark date of 1998.

Benchmark dates are the code threshold to where a building is deemed to comply. The Benchmark date is after the Code date of either 1979, 0r 1982.

The evaluation methodology utilized is Basic Performance Objective Equivalent to New Building Standards. (BPON), Category IV, Immediate Occupancy. The ASCE 41 Tier 1 (Seismic Review) checklist may be found in enclosure 2.

2.0 Design Results and Identified Deficiencies
The ASCE 41-17 BPON seismic base shear values yields values noted below: (Ref calculations Attachment 1)
See the Shearwall Key Plan in Figure 3
V=.20 ASD Plywood Shearwall R = 6.5
V= .37 ASD Moment Frame Direction R = 3.5
R= Response modification factor, a value used in the base shear derivation with consideration to the expected performance of the chosen system. R 3.5 (Ordinary Moment Frame) results in a base shear 87% higher than the plywood shearwall base shear.

The 2018 Moment Frame addition created a non-compliant issue with the introduction of the Ordinary Moment Frame on the South Apparatus Bay door. The code requires (ASCE 12.2.3.3) the lower R value to be used for the systems in that “same direction”. The North end of the building is subject to the increased base shear due to this requirement. The code exception which permits the treatment of individual lines in the same direction is limited to flexible diaphragms, which is applicable in this case, but also only permitted in Category I and II buildings. A Fire Station is a Category IV Building.

The preliminary analysis performed for our evaluation used the higher R = 6.5 for plywood shearwall as a basis for design. This is comparable to the seismic level of the original construction, and does not initially consider the increase shear generated by the ASCE 12.2.3.3 requirement. These nonconservative results indicate the shearwalls on Gridline 4 and 3, are overstressed. Factoring the shear values generated from the higher base shear associated with R= 3.5, yields a grossly overstressed condition. In this example, the existing condition is over stressed without the additional R value penalty.

In addition, there is no drag component for gridline 4 and 5 from the Apparatus Bay roof to east portion roof, to assure deformation compatibility.

441

2.1 Summary of identified building lateral deficiencies:
• Grid 3, shearwall inadequate, retrofit required
o The repair would include adding additional interior East West shear elements to reduce the demand on grid 3. Potential to add drag tie and transfer load to existing frame.

Rough Order of Magnitude Retrofit Costs (ROM): $50,000
• Grid 4, Shearwall inadequate, retrofit required
o The repair would require the introduction of a New Ordinary Moment Frame on grid 4, similar to the Frame that was added to Grid 5 in 2018
ROM $200,000
• Drag ties required at grids 4 and 5
o ROM $15,000
• Verification of existing conditions and potential retrofit of anchorage, overturning issues, foundations, etc.
o ROM 5500 sf x $60.00 psf $330,000
If possible, providing the missing sheets in the As-built set would be beneficial to the project, and add clarity to square foot seismic upgrade costs. Confirmation of the shearwall overstress levels can be confirmed with additional information.

The ROM costs are estimates of probable cost and do not include the impact to, or replacement of services and finishes required to be removed and replaced during the retrofit. We are not cost estimators, and costs shall be verified by a cost analysis professional.

In addition to the base building review, the non-structural components were visually verified. The nonstructural components include mechanical systems, architectural attachments, cabinets, piping, ceiling systems, etc.

As an essential facility, there are rigid requirements for bracing of these components.

Observed items include:
• HWH is braced, no retrofit requirement (see photo 12) • Suspended ceiling lateral bracing non-conformant, no compression struts. Retrofit (photo 19) • Bracing requirements for Sprinkler piping not met, bracing required. (photo 7) • Generator is bolted to foundation, no retrofit requirement (photo 13) • Roof top mechanical units are not fastened to platform, retrofit required. (photo 14, 16) • Air Compressor is bolted to foundation, no retrofit requirement (photo 15) • Cabinets over 6 feet in height not bolted to wall, attachment required (photo 17, 20, 21,22) • Turnout lockers in App Bay are fastened to wall, no retrofit requirement (photo 18, 19) Photos may be found in Enclosure 3

442

2.2 Commentary on Proposed Remodel Plans
It appears that there is a proposed or potential remodel of the existing facility, and the preliminary Architectural plans indicate the wall on grid 1 and 2, are proposed to receive new openings for the individual dorm facilities. The walls are primary plywood shearwalls, and would require retrofit if openings are created.

The plan reconfiguration required in the remodel will require a seismic upgrade to the existing structure.

All identified seismic upgrade potential retrofit items may be combined into the remodel efforts.

Sincerely,
Miyamoto International, Inc.

Pocock Design Solutions, Inc. has been contracted by PBK Architects to perform an assessment of the existing mechanical and plumbing systems at the Palm Desert Fire Station 71 located at 73995 Country Club Dr., in Palm Desert, CA. The primary purpose of this assessment is to review and document the condition of existing mechanical and plumbing systems, identify apparent non-code-compliant systems, and provide recommendations for future tenant improvements. A site investigation was performed on March 21, 2023.

The facility was reviewed with the following codes:

CBC 2022………………………………………... California Building Code
CMC 2022……………………………………….. California Mechanical Code
CPC 2022……………………………………….. California Plumbing Code

The fire station is primary conditioned by two (2) rooftop packaged gas/electric a/c units located on the roof in a mechanical well. The units were manufactured in 2006 and 2017 and are in good condition. The unit manufactured in 2006 is nearing the end of its useful life expectancy but the unit manufactured in 2017 has 10+ years of life expectancy remaining. Both units do not have outside air intakes or economizers for building ventilation.

The packaged a/c units are horizontal discharge with the supply and return ductwork routed through the wall of the mechanical well. The rooftop ductwork appears to be in good condition. The units are sitting on roof pads with sheet metal caps. It does not appear the units are currently anchored and are just resting on the roof pads.

Each AC unit is controlled by a wall mounted electronic thermostat. The thermostats are aged with limited programmability and function.

The restrooms are exhausted by a ceiling mounted exhaust fan with ductwork up to a roof cap. The roof cap is a basic bent sheet metal hood in which the cover is currently disconnected and the exhaust duct is open to the sky. The ceiling exhaust fan is in good condition. The kitchen hood is a small residential type with an integral exhaust fan and ductwork to a vent in bottom of the roof overhang. It appears to be in good condition.

The apparatus bay is semi-conditioned by two (2) evaporative cooling units. There is one installed in each of the two mezzanines on opposite sides of the building. The mezzanines are accessible through a ladder down to the space below. The units were manufactured in 2020 and are in good condition. The evaporative media within the units is worn to the expected condition for the age of the units and will need replacement in the next year or two. Ductwork is routed to sidewall supply registers in two corners of the apparatus bay. There does not appear to be any relief openings in the apparatus bay.

The apparatus bay includes a Plymovent vehicle exhaust system with intake pipes routed to an exhaust fan mounted on the exterior of the apparatus bay.

There is a generator room adjacent to the apparatus bay that is naturally ventilated with high and low door louvers. The generator has a ducted air intake to the radiator from an exterior wall louver. The generator exhaust pipe is routed out through the exterior wall.

Recommendations
Single zone packaged a/c units controlled by a single thermostat have gone out of favor for this building application due to limited controllability of temperature from room to room. One of the existing packaged a/c units is in good condition with likely 10+ years of useful life remaining while the other unit is getting to the end of its useful life expectancy.

If the layout of the interior of the building is to remain relatively unchanged, then the existing systems can remain as is with replacement of the one a/c unit as required. The existing ductwork on the roof can remain with minor clean and repair as required. It is recommended the existing a/c units be retrofitted with new economizers for improved indoor air quality and energy savings. Economizers are required per current energy code requirements. Due to the close proximity of the a/c units the mechanical well wall and relatively short lengths of ducts on the roof, it may not be possible to provide new economizers without relocating the existing a/c units.

Recommend cleaning and resealing existing to remain ductwork within the building and replacing duct insulation. It is recommended all units to remain be anchored to the roof at the existing roof pads. If the building is to be re-roofed, it is recommended to remove the existing a/c units and reinstall them on new built-up roof curbs for improved weatherproofing.

If the interior of the building is to receive an extensive remodel with a modified floor layout or if the department is currently unhappy with the temperature control of the existing systems, then brand-new AC systems can be provided. All existing ductwork and systems would be removed and a completely new system would be provided. VRF systems with heat recovery are recommended which would include fan coil units throughout the building for complete independent temperature control from room to room.

The VRF system would include a roof mounted condensing unit and a central controller.

The existing evaporative coolers are in good condition and have significant useful life expectancy remaining. The interior media will need replacement in the next year or so which is typical for these units.

The existing ceiling exhaust fans are in good condition and can be cleaned and remain.

The existing roof cap needs to be repaired to prevent water from entering the exhaust duct at the roof. If the building is to be re-roofed, it is recommended the existing roof cap be removed and replaced with a new curb mounted cap for improved weatherproofing and durability.

Recommend replacement of the existing Plymovent exhaust fan based on apparent condition and to relocate it to an accessible location on the roof. Existing vehicle exhaust ductwork can remain and be reused and extended to the new exhaust fan location.

The plumbing infrastructure appears to be original to the building and is approximately 38 years old. Domestic water piping within the building was observed to be copper and waste/vent piping observed to be cast iron. Per the as-built drawings, the existing domestic water service is 1-1/2”. We are not able to determine the existing underground sewer lateral size based on the as builts but it is anticipated to be either 3” or 4”.

Plumbing fixtures within the building include flush valve type water closets, flush valve urinals, and lavatories with manual faucets. Fixtures appear to be in good condition.

The existing domestic hot water system consists of a central gas-fired tank type water heater. The water heater was manufactured around 2019 and is in good condition. The system does not have a recirculating loop or an expansion tank.

The building is provided natural gas from the meter located on the north-west side of the building. Gas piping is black iron and mainly routed below the roof then stubbed up to the a/c units.

Makeup water is provided to the evaporative cooling units located in the mechanical mezzanines through individual copper lines. A backflow prevention device was not observed on the water line feeding either of these units.

A hose bib could not be located on the roof near the mechanical units on the roof.

The air compressor is located in the central mechanical room adjacent to the apparatus bay. The air compressor is piped to outlets in the workshop. The compressed air piping was observed to be plastic.

The kitchen includes a small residential style gas range and hood which appear to be in good condition. It does not appear the building has a control station with gas shutoff valves connected to the emergency call system. There is also a gas barbeque on the exterior patio that is connected to the building natural gas system.

Condensate piping from the a/c units on the roof was observed to be PVC. The piping is missing a code required p-trap and currently discharges to a roof drain.

The building is fully sprinklered with an automatic fire sprinkler system. The riser is 2-1/2” and located in the south-east corner of the apparatus bay. There is FDC, PIV, and vault which is assumed to have a backflow preventer on the north side of the site.

Plumbing Recommendations
The existing 1-1/2” cold water line and existing sewer line are likely adequate for any tenant improvement scope. It is recommended the existing underground waste piping be inspected with a camera system to confirm there are no obstructions or broken pipes.

Any tenant improvement scope that requires removal of existing plumbing fixtures, will also require installation of new plumbing fixtures which are low-flow and compliant with current Cal Green requirements. Generally, a 2” water line is required for flush valve water closets. Any new water closets are recommended to be tank-type to avoid potential issues with lack of water pressure.

The existing domestic water heater is in good condition with useful life expectancy remaining. Recommend installing a new expansion tank per code requirements. If the time to receive hot water is excessively long at the furthest fixtures, recommend installing a return line and recirculating pump with timeclock and aquastat.

It is recommended new hose bibb with vacuum breakers be provided on the roof for cleaning purposes.

Condensate piping will be rerouted from the non-compliant roof drain termination to a compliant location within the building just as a service sink or sink tailpiece.

Recommend providing new backflow preventer in existing domestic cold-water line that is feeding the evaporative cooling units in the mechanical mezzanines per code requirements.

Recommend installing new gas control station with automatic shutoff solenoid valve to kitchen and outdoor barbeque with connection to the emergency call system.

All future tenant improvement work will require relocation and extension of the existing automatic sprinkler system per NFPA 13 requirements.

Mr. Needham,
The following is our evaluation of the electrical systems at the aforementioned fire station:

Existing Conditions:

Lighting
Building interior lighting consists primarily of fluorescent 2x4 and 1x4 light fixtures, incandescent downlight fixtures, decorative pendant fixtures in the kitchen, and wall mounted reading lights in the dorms. The fixtures in the offices and living areas appear to be in fair condition. The fixtures in the showers, utility rooms and the App Bay are in poor to fair condition. The pendant fixtures in the kitchen appear to be in good condition.

The 2x4 and 1x4 light fixtures do not have dimming capabilities and cannot meet current dimming requirements of the 2022 Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24).

Light fixtures using incandescent lamps with screw-in bases do not comply with the high efficiency requirements of Title 24 and must be replaced.

The Equipment Room lights are controlled by an occupant sensor. All other lighting controls consist of standard toggle switches that provide bi-level switching. The bi-level switching consists of two switches, configured in the traditional “a/b” configuration, that allows the occupant to turn “on” or “off” half the fixtures in the room. In addition to bi-level switching, the Corridor, App Bay, and the Men’s Dorm have 3-way switching.

The lighting controls do not meet the dimming and automatic shut-off control requirements of Title 24.

Switches connected to emergency circuits are not “red” in color, do not have “red” wall plates and are not identified as being connected to emergency circuits.

Lighting circuits are protected by standard thermal magnetic type circuit breakers. The circuit breakers cannot provide the arc fault circuit interrupter functions required by current codes.

Building exterior lighting consists of downlights recessed in the overhangs and soffits, wall pack fixtures at the Hose Rack, one wall pack fixture at the return drive, a residential style dual head incandescent security flood light at the response drive, and a single head flood light Palm Desert Fire Station 33 & 71 Assessments Page 182

at the BBQ. The fixtures appear to be in fair to good condition. Wall pack and floodlight type fixtures are not shielded , therefore, not T24 compliant.

The building exterior light fixtures are controlled by a time clock located in the Equipment room. The time clock is not an astronomical time clock with daylight savings functions, therefore, does not meet current Title 24 requirements.

Site/Parking lot lighting consists of pole mounted LED fixtures mounted at approximately 20’-0” above grade. The fixtures do not have motion sensors, thus, do not meet current dimming and automatic control requirements.

Power
The utility service is 400 amps and operates at 120/208V, 3 phase, 4 wire. The rating of the service is capable of serving the 113 Amps building demand load with 70% spare capacity for expansion.

The main service switchboard was manufactured by Square-D, it is 30 plus years old, in good condition, and replacement circuit breakers are readily available. However, based on the arrangement of the circuit breakers, there does not appear to be space to install additional 100A or larger circuit breakers, thus, restricting the addition of circuit breakers required to support the installation of panels for EV chargers and a PV power plant.

The main service switchboard is located in the Equipment room and alongside telephone equipment and alarm panels. The meter location and its proximity to building alarm panels do not meet current utility company requirements.

Branch circuit panels are commercial grade, in fair to good condition, and replacement circuit breakers are readily available. There are no arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) circuit breakers in the panels, AFCI circuit breakers are required to protect circuits serving the residential areas of the building.

The main switchboard and panels do not have Arc flash labels.

Receptacles are standard duplex grounding type and receptacles near the kitchen and bathroom sinks are GFI type.

However, the receptacles do not comply with current codes. Receptacles in residential (R Occupancy) areas must be tamper proof and either AFCI type or protected by and AFCI circuit breaker at the panel. Administrative (B Occupancy) areas, such as offices, conference rooms, lobbies, breakrooms, must have controlled receptacles within six feet of a standard receptacle, the controlled receptacles must be clearly identified and controlled by the room’s occupant sensor. All kitchen 120V. 15 or 20 amp receptacles must be GFI and protected by an AFCI circuit breaker. App Bay receptacles must be GFI type.

Receptacles do not comply with current ADA mounting height requirements. ADA requires receptacles to be mounted at +48” maximum to the top of the box and +15” minimum to the bottom of the box, and +46” maximum to the top of box when located above counter tops.

Receptacles connected to emergency circuits are not “red” in color, do not have “red” wall plates and are not identified as being connected to emergency circuits.

Outdoor receptacles are GFI type. However, the covers are not U.L. listed for use in wet locations when “in-use”, therefore, do not meet code.

The 30kW (104 Amps) Generac emergency generator with subbase fuel tank, located in the generator room, is 30 plus years old, is out of commission and is not capable of providing emergency power to the station. At the time of the site visit a 30kW temporary generator was being used to provide emergency power to the station.

The temporary generator has been connected to the existing ATS and will provide emergency power to the station upon loss of utility power. The station’s emergency power distribution system is designed to provide emergency power for life safety equipment and selected building loads, the system does not provide emergency power to the entire station.

Communications
The alerting system/base radio is operational and in good working condition. The system includes a Kenwood base radio with power supply, a Comtronix station control interface that manages the signaling and audio systems, a printer, a microphone, an amplifier, a stereo tuner, lighted speakers in the dorms and standard speakers in all other locations. The system is outdated and the Comtronix controller is obsolete. The head-end equipment is located in a below counter cabinet and should be relocated to a secure location accessible to only to authorized personnel (i.e. Communications room).

The telephone service enters the building underground and terminates on a backboard located in the Equipment room. Due to the nature of the Equipment room, the telephone terminals and equipment are subject to dust and other contaminants. Most wall mounted telephone outlets, other than those located at workstations/desks, are mounted above +48” and are not ADA compliant.

There is no 911 phone at the front of the station
The cable TV (CATV) service is located outside of the building, on the other side of the Dayroom wall where the TV is mounted. The service cabling is exposed and not housed in a weatherproof box. No other CATV line or drop was found during the site visit.

The entry doors to the station are equipped with entry keypads and a door bell push button that alerts FD personnel of visitors at the entry doors.

The data/computer network system consists of a PC and router located under a desk in the Reception room. There system provides service to wall mounted station outlets and one wireless access point. The equipment and cabling under the desk is in disarray, subject to damage, and should be relocated to a secure location accessible to only to authorized personnel (i.e. Communications room).

Areas of the station, accessible to the public, did not have fire alarm coverage. The dorms and corridors leading to the dorms are equipped with smoke detectors. However, the Men’s Dorm only has one smoke detector and due to the placement of the detector (east side of the room) there is insufficient coverage for the west side of the room. Furthermore, the detectors in the corridors are not combination CO/smoke detectors.

Recommendations:

Lighting:

Replace all interior light fixtures with new high efficiency LED fixtures with dimming drivers.

Provide dimers in each room to control the new LED fixtures. Mount dimmers at ADA compliant mounting heights. Dimmers connected to emergency circuits are to be provided with “red” wall plates. The serving panel and circuit number should be engraved on the wall plate.

Provide ceiling mounted or wall switch type occupant sensors for perform the T24 required automatic building shut-off functions. Sensors in the non-residential areas of the station are to operate in “automatic” mode. Sensors in the residential areas of the station are to operate in “vacancy” mode. The vacancy setting ensures that lights do not automatically turn on when motion is detected, lights must be physically turned on and will shut off automatically.

Replace all building exterior light fixtures with new high efficiency LED fixtures with dimming drivers. Wall mounted fixtures are to be shielded to prevent light spill.

Replace the time clock with a new astronomical time clock and compatible photocell.

For compliance with current Title 24 requirements, replace existing LED area/parking lot fixtures with fixtures containing dimming drivers and motion sensors that will allow the illumination levels to automatically dim to 50% when the surrounding area is unoccupied.

Additional fixtures may be required to comply with the IES recommended foot-candle levels for security and safety purposes.

Provide AFCI circuit breakers for all lighting circuits serving the residential areas of the station.

Power:

Replace the main service switchboard to facilitate the connection of the new generator for whole building back-up power, provide power to existing panels, HVAC equipment, the compressor and have space for circuit breakers to provide power for EV charging stations and a 20kW PV power plant. Locate the new service switchboard outdoors or in a room with exterior access and in compliance with SCE requirements. Replacement of the main service switchboard will require SCE to provide engineering and design services for the new infrastructure required to support the service rework.

Dedicate space near the main switchboard for the addition of a solar AC disconnect switch and SCE meter.

Replace the panels with new commercial grade branch circuit panels and provide the panel with AFCI circuit breakers for circuits serving the residential areas. Trace all existing circuits and update the panel directories If existing panels are re-used, replace existing circuit breakers serving circuits in the residential areas of the station with AFCI circuit breakers.

Provide a new panel for EV charging stations.

Perform a short circuit and arc fault study to ensure panels are rated to withstand the available fault currents and to identify the arc flash boundaries. Provide arch flash labels for all panels.

Replace the receptacles in the residential areas with tamper proof receptacles. If AFCI circuit breakers are not provided, the new receptacles must be tamper proof AFCI type.

Provide controlled receptacles in offices, conference rooms, lobbies and breakrooms. The installation of controlled receptacles must be coordinated with the installation of occupant sensors.

Replace all kitchen receptacles with GFI receptacles. If AFCI circuit breakers are not provided, the new receptacles must be combination GFI/AFCI type.

Relocate receptacles as required to meet the ADA mounting height requirements.

Provide a new 125kW generator with subbase fuel tank to provide stand-by power to the entire station. The 125kW generator would be capable of sustaining the existing 32.5 kW load (26kW demand + 25% per CEC Article 220.87) and have sufficient capacity for future EV chargers.

Locate the new generator outdoors and in near proximity to the generator room. Locate the new ATS in the generator room and provide required interconnection between the ATS and the new switchboard, and the ATS and the generator.

Should the City decide not to provide stand-by power for the entire station and opt to maintain the current partial station stand-by power model, the minimum size of the new generator should be no less than 30kW, to match existing, and consideration should be given to increasing the size to accommodate future truck/apparatus electric vehicle chargers.

Where the current emergency power configuration is maintained, receptacles connected to emergency circuits must be replaced with “red” devices and wall plates. The serving panel and circuit number should be engraved on the wall plate.

Communications:

Construct a communications room to house the base radio, alerting system head-end equipment, telephone equipment, CATV equipment and data/network equipment. Rewire the station outlets as required to terminate the systems cables at the new communications room.

Provide a new alerting system to work in conjunction with the base radio.

Relocate wall mounted telephone outlets as required to meet the ADA mounting height requirements.

Provide a 911 phone at the front of the station.

Move the existing CATV service equipment indoors or provide a secure, weatherproof cover, for the equipment. Contact the CATV company to discuss available options.

Provide additional ceiling mounted wireless access points (WAP) to ensure complete station coverage.

Add a single station smoke detector to the west end of the Men’s Dorm room to provide full room coverage. Provide combination CO/smoke detectors in the corridors leading to the dorms. The detectors must be interconnected to ensure the audible device in all smoke and combination CO/smoke detectors activate whenever one detector in the system goes into alarm.

For areas accessible to the public, add a manual pull station at the exit door, a combination horn/strobe in the lobby, a strobe in the restroom, and a control panel to supervise the devices.

Please call if you have questions or require additional information.

approvals of whatever nature that are legally required to perform the Services, and that such licenses and approvals shall be maintained throughout the term of this Agreement.

(D) City’s Rights of Enforcement. In the event any policy of insurance required under this Agreement does not comply with these specifications, or is canceled and not replaced, City has the right, but not the duty, to obtain the insurance it deems necessary, and any premium paid by City will be promptly reimbursed by Consultant, or City will withhold amounts sufficient to pay premium from Consultant payments. In the alternative, City may terminate this Agreement.

(F) Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance coverage maintained or procured pursuant to this agreement shall be endorsed to waive subrogation against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, volunteers, and representatives or shall specifically allow Consultant or others providing insurance evidence in compliance with these specifications to waive their right of recovery prior to a loss. Consultant hereby waives its own right of recovery against the City, its elected or appointed officers, agents, officials, employees, volunteers and representatives and shall require similar written express waivers and insurance clauses from each of its subconsultants.
(G) Enforcement of Contract Provisions (non estoppel).

Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any requirement imposes no additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights hereunder.
(H) Requirements Not Limiting. Requirements of specific coverage features or limits contained in this Section are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance.

Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the Consultant maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, the City requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the Consultant.

BBK 72500.00001\32374915.1
representatives shall be additional insureds with regard to liability and defense of suits or claims arising out of the performance of the Agreement, under such policies. This provision shall also apply to any excess/umbrella liability policies.
(K) Prohibition of Undisclosed Coverage Limitations. None of the coverages required herein will be in compliance with these requirements if they include any limiting endorsement of any kind that has not been first submitted to City and approved of in writing.
(L) Separation of Insureds. A severability of interests provision must apply for all additional insureds ensuring that Consultant’s insurance shall apply separately to each insured against whom claim is made or suit is brought, except with respect to the insurer’s limits of liability. The policy(ies) shall not contain any cross-liability exclusions. (M) Pass Through Clause. Consultant agrees to ensure that its subconsultants, subcontractors, and any other party involved with the Project who is brought onto or involved in the Project by Consultant, provide the same minimum insurance coverage and endorsements required of Consultant. Consultant agrees to monitor and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with subconsultants, subcontractors, and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to City for review.
(N) City’s Right to Revise Specifications. The City and the City’s Risk Manager reserve the right at any time during the term of the Agreement to change the amounts and types of insurance required by giving the Consultant ninety (90) days advance written notice of such change. If such change results in additional cost to the Consultant, the City and Consultant may renegotiate Consultant’s compensation. If the City reduces the insurance requirements, the change shall go into effect immediately and require no advanced written notice. (O) Self-Insured Retentions. Any self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by City. City reserves the right to require that self-insured retentions be eliminated, lowered, or replaced by a deductible. Self-insurance will not be considered to comply with these specifications unless approved by City. (P) Timely Notice of Claims. Consultant shall give City prompt and timely notice of claims made or suits instituted that arise out of or result from Consultant’s performance under this Agreement, and that involve or may involve coverage under any of the required liability policies.

Re: Preliminary Fee Proposal
Fire Stations 33 and 71
City of Palm Desert
Dear Ms. Perry:

Attached please find our Preliminary Fee Proposal for the above referenced project. With our unique type of experience and our local presence, your new project is of special interest to our firm.

In that architecture is a professional service as opposed to a commodity, we believe that the selection of an architect is not only about fee, but about the relationship between the design team and the City. This proposal is intended as a starting point to begin more in depth discussions regarding program and project scope. It is not our intention to create a fee that is more or less than our professional colleagues, but to work with you to create the best possible project for the funds available.

The fees attached are not intended to be a “take it or leave it” offer and should be understood to be the beginning of a negotiation to determine the best value for your needs and budget.

Ms. Perry, thank you again for this opportunity. If you should have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.

Very truly yours,

LISA COX, AIA
Principal, Architect

CITY OF PALM DESERT
CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: July 11, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From: Anthony J. Mejia, City Clerk
Subject: City Council Meeting of July 11, 2024
Below you will find questions received from the Mayor or Councilmembers and answers provided by City staff regarding tonight’s City Council meeting:

ITEM 2a: STUDY SESSION: IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT’S ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE

PARTNERSHIP
Q1: Regarding the IID substation, is it correct that we will not be liable for the $5 million in bonds, as we will either be reimbursed by other property owners or indirectly through increased sales tax revenue over several years
A1: The City would front the initial cash outlay to get the substation underway and then require payback agreements prior to the landowners developing their properties. The City may be out $1- $3 million over the next decade or two depending on the speed of development. Without the substation, the property owners are frozen out.

ITEM 13a: APPROVAL OF CITY COUNCIL, SUCCESSOR AGENCY, AND HOUSING AUTHORITY

MINUTES
After further review, the City Clerk recommends the approval of the June 27, 2024, City Council Meeting minutes with the following revision:
15a. APPEAL OF THE BUILDING BOARD OF APPEALS DETERMINATION OF THE CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL’S APPLICATION OF THE 2022 CALIFORNIA RESIDENTIAL CODE, SECTION R310.1 (EMERGENCY ESCAPE AND RESCUE)
Dylan Guzel, provided closing remarks on behalf of the City, asserted that there are regulations that businesses are required to follow that homeowners do not in order to protect the public; asserted that this action is not considered a regulatory taking as the City stated the room was never intended to be a bedroom, the City did not sell or advertise the unit, and the City upheld the Code at the time of construction.

Dylan Guzel, Deputy City Attorney, provided closing remarks on behalf of the City; pointed out that a vacation rental is a commercial endeavor which is subject to regulations similar to other businesses; noted these regulations are in place for the public health and safety during emergencies; asserted that the County Assessor’s Office statements regarding the number of bedrooms are based on a visual floorplan inspection without comparison to the California Building Codes and pointed out these representatives are not official building inspectors, architects, engineers, or professionals in that capacity; opined that the City’s actions are not a regulatory taking as the City has consistently applied the building code standard that dens cannot be used as a sleeping room and had no role in the advertising or marketing of the property. 577
06/27/2024 Question & Answer Memo

Carrie Kropfl, Appellant, provided closing remarks; stated she represents the innocent victims; urged the City prepare a disclosure form for short-term rental operators and renters, and send a cease and desist letter to Monterey Country Club property management.

Carrie Kropfl, Appellant, provided closing remarks; voiced support for allowing potential renters to sign a disclosure form regarding the use of a den as a sleeping room; asserted that other communities have advertised dens attached to an atrium as bedrooms and that Coachella Valley cities need to address false advertising, including the City of Palm Desert issuing a cease and desist letter to the Monterey County Club management; opined that the City’s interpretation will impact not only vacation rental owners but also all properties with a similar floorplan, leading to a reduction of a bedroom and decreased property values.

ITEM 13b: APPROVAL OF WARRANT REGISTERS
Q1: Where is the $13 million coming from to buy the parcels? (Page 43) A1:The sale of the property at Desert Willow (DW) is $4.6 million. That’s the only amount coming from the City. There are a few transactions happening in this one register:

1. The City is buying the property (DW Parking Lot) from the SARDA at Fair Market Value ($4.6M) from our Golf Amenity Fees - Capital Funds (441) with the first wire - #57353787.

2. The 2nd and 3rd wires are a result of staff reaching out to the County due to a stale dated check.

The County of Riverside lost the SARDA check ($4.4M) related to the sale of land from SARDA to Vitalia/Pacific West for affordable housing, so we canceled payment and reissued wire #71465195. The additional $16k, was a separate part of that transaction as well - #71465387.

3. The SARDA then sent the $4.6M proceeds (DW Parking Lot) to the County of Riverside for distribution to the various taxing entities - #72032577.

Ultimately, the City (as a taxing entity) will receive a small apportionment from each of these transactions. Those proceeds are then deposited into the Economic Development Fund upon receipt.

ITEM 13g: ADOPT RESOLUTION OPTING INTO SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WITH

DISTRIBUTORS OF OPIOIDS, GROCERY CHAIN KROGER, AND FUTURE PROPOSED

OPIOD SETTLEMENTS
Q1: What is the estimated amount that the City is expected to receive from this settlement? A1: Based on the amount awarded to the State of California and our other settlement allocations, an estimate could be around $40,000 disbursed over 11 years. 578
06/27/2024 Question & Answer Memo

ITEM 13j: AWARD CONTRACT TO PBK ARCHITECTS, INC., FOR ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SERVICES OF FIRE STATION 33 AND 71 (CFA00017 & CFA00019) Q1: This item includes the recommendation to demolish and rebuild Station 71. Is this item intended to approve that recommendation? If so, could you provide more information on the following aspects:
a. What is the justification for this recommendation given that a rebuild costs $1,272,905 more than renovation?
b. What is the plan for timing and provision of services during the demolition and rebuild process?
c. How will service disruptions be managed, considering that renovations can be done in stages to minimize disruptions, whereas demolition and rebuild inherently include delays? A1: Staff estimates that the construction will take approximately 12-14 months. The current plan involves setting up temporary housing for both Fire Stations during this period to minimize impacts on response times. We considered moving staff to other Fire Stations and having FS 102 assist with calls from FS 67. However, current trends indicate that assistance from FS 102 to FS 71 will be limited. CalFire Chiefs support the recommendation for temporary housing.

FS 33 has ample space to accommodate a temporary site. However, FS 71 is located on a small parcel, making it impossible to host temporary housing and construction activities simultaneously.

Therefore, staff is exploring nearby city-owned lots for temporary housing, bays, and equipment during construction. The goal is to minimize impacts on response times as much as possible. Staff will continue to adjust this plan as the design progresses.

The renovations will involve the demolition and structural reconfiguration of the building's interior, making it unsafe for Cal Fire staff to work in the building during construction.

ITEM 13k: AWARD ON-CALL CONTRACTS TO MULTIPLE VENDORS FOR PARK AND

FACILITIES REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
Q1: What has been the budgeted dollar amount for these CIP projects in previous years? This year's budget is $5.3 million.

A1: Although the on-call facilities maintenance and repair agreements can be utilized to complete task orders for capital projects, staff primarily utilize the agreements to accomplish updates on deferred maintenance or minor repair projects as needed. The budget for these agreements includes both capital and operations funding.

Previous fiscal years’ Park and Facilities CIP project budgets are below:
• Fiscal Year 24/25 $5.3 Million
• Fiscal Year 23/24 $4.0 Million, increased to $5.7
• Fiscal Year 22/23 $3.5 Million
• Fiscal Year 21/22 $2.0 Million
579
06/27/2024 Question & Answer Memo

ITEM 13l: AWARD CONTRACT NO. C47680 TO JACOBSSON ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION, INC., FOR THE EL PASEO CURB RAMP MODIFICATION PROJECT (PROJECT CST00025)
Q1: Can you provide the additional cost of undertaking this project as a standalone effort compared to incorporating it into the overall repaving scheduled for 2025? A1: Staff did not anticipate additional costs would be incurred by the City from splitting the project into two phases. The concrete work that will be constructed in Phase I of the project is typically performed by a subcontractor and the prime contractor marks up the subcontractors bid 10-15% to cover administration expenses related to the subcontract. By bidding the concrete work and the asphalt work separately staff expects the markup will be eliminated.

Q2: This item refers to curb and gutter work intended to be completed "in the summer of 2024." As it is now July 10th, could you please provide an updated timetable for this work? Given the current date, is it still feasible to complete the project within the summer timeframe? A2: The project will begin construction by August 1, 2024, and will be completed by September 15, 2024.The intent is to complete the project before the beginning of the busy season.

ITEM 13n: REJECT ALL PROPOSALS SUBMITTED FOR COURTESY PATROL SERVICES AT THE

HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES
Q1: Why did Courtesy Patrol Services decline to renew their contract? A1: The current service provider indicated that they are facing difficulties in securing the necessary insurance coverage, which has been an ongoing issue.

ITEM 13o: REJECT ALL BIDS, APPROPRIATE FUNDS, AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO

AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE CIVIC CENTER PARKING LOT REHABILITATION PROJECT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $600,000
Q1: is this project for repaving or resealing/slurry?
A1: The entry/exit drive at Fred Waring is a re-pave, while the rest of the parking lot will be repaired as needed and slurry sealed. There is also a crosswalk near the Desert Recreation building that will be replaced with concrete. Please reference the “Area of Work Aerial” for further clarification.

ITEM 13s: APPROVE CONTRACT WITH FEHR & PEERS FOR THE PREPARATION OF A

GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE MOBILITY ELEMENT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $139,076 AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS
Q1: Can the language of the deliverables in Task 6 be revised to align with the broader scope described in the staff report, ensuring it includes collaboration with SunLine Transit Agency for a variety of public transit solutions, not just the evaluation of existing and proposed bus lines?
A1: This action will be included in Task 6 of the Scope of Work found in Exhibit A of the Professional Services Agreement. The formatting and text of the agreement for Task 6 has been revised to add a new bullet point for "Collaboration with SunLine Transit Agency ("STA") for a variety of public transit solutions". This will be in addition to the deliverable item for evaluation of existing and proposed bus lines. Staff has also revised task 3.1 to require collaboration with STA. 580
06/27/2024 Question & Answer Memo

ITEM 14d: CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF A PORTION OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY (EXPLORER DRIVE) IS “EXEMPT SURPLUS LAND” PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54221
Q1: Is this decision consistent with our previous surplus land/right-of-way decision that we voted on in South Palm Desert a few months ago?
A1: There is a small sliver of property that was missed in the original land sale to Refuge that needs to be addressed. Therefore, this portion of the city right-of-way was not in the City’s Central Inventory. The process will be consistent with the Surplus Land Act (SLA) requirements. Once the SLA process is cleared, the same per square foot charge will be applied to this property as was used in the initial sale.

ITEM 14e: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL TRACT MAP NO. 38434-1 AND

AGREEMENTS
Q1: Could you provide the zoning rules that applied to the vacant land at the time when the property was developed and homes were sold on the south border of this development? Specifically, what was the maximum allowable height? Additionally, if there have been any changes to these zoning rules, when did they occur?
A1: In October 1995, during the original approval of residential Tract 28258, the vacant land ("Refuge Site") was designated PR-5 (Planned Residential 5 dwelling units/acre). The PR zoning designation allowed buildings up to two-stories with a maximum height of 24', with a minimum setback of 100' from the project perimeter for all two-story, detached, single-family structures.

In June 2012, as a requirement of State Housing Element law, the City approved a change of zone for a 38-acre portion of the Refuge Site from PR-5 to Planned Residential 20 dwelling units per acre (PR-20). The development standards for the PR zoning district did not substantially change until 2017.

In August 2017, as a part of a general plan consistency update, the City approved a change of zone for the entire vacant Refuge Site to PR-20 and amended the PR zoning district to allow threestory buildings with a maximum height to 40'-0", with a minimum setback of 100' from the project perimeter for all two-story, detached, single-family structures. 581

Should a Force Majeure Event occur, the non-performing Party shall, within a reasonable time of being prevented from performing, give written notice to the other Party describing the circumstances preventing continued performance and the efforts being made to resume performance of this Agreement. Force Majeure Events and/or delays, regardless of the Party responsible for the delay, shall not entitle Consultant to any additional compensation.

The consultant will prepare a draft background technical report and submit it to the City for one round of consolidated comments.

Task 2.3: Safety Assessment
The consultant will analyze publicly available collision information to summarize roadway collision trends that will assist in identifying a High Injury Network (HIN) as required by SB 932. This HIN network will be used to supplement and inform policies in this element update. The consultant will also work with the City to better understand and reference the City’s Vision Zero Strategy study.

These findings will be provided in a series of charts that will be included in the existing conditions background technical report.

Task 2.4: Update Travel Demand Model
The consultant will utilize either the latest version of the RIVCOM travel demand model or the previously developed City model for this effort. Next, any proposed changes in land use and the roadway network will be updated in the model. The model will be used to compare the Adopted General Plan Circulation Element and the proposed Circulation Element Update with any associated land use changes.

It is anticipated that this traffic model will be employed for the following purposes:
•Testing roadway network and classification alternatives •Analyzing the level of service at study roadway segments •Forecasting VMT for the City using a couple of different methods. This can be used to better understand how VMT can/should be incorporated into the City’s policy document and to help inform VMT guidelines for the City.

Task 2 Deliverables:

1.List and map of study segments for Streetlight data collection
