Request for Qualifications
•On October 15, 2021, the City released
the Request for Qualifications for
Design-Build Entity (DBE) teams. This
process resulted in five submittals to the
City. The City’s owner’s representative
and staff committee evaluated the
proposals and made a recommendation
for the top three firms.
Site Preparation
•940 Bello-The City was able to successfully acquire the property at 940 Bello, immediately south of the Fire Station/Police Station to expand the existing site. Following acquisition, the site was demolished, and the property cleared. Staff will continue to ensure that the property is maintained and free of weeds or other debris that may negatively impact the community.
•Soils Report and Site Survey-This preliminary step provides the City with additional information on the scope and scale of foundation work that will be required during the construction. The site was also surveyed to provide our current architects with site limits, elevations, and the necessary data for their evaluation on options for the site. Based on the preliminary result of the soils report, we are preparing cost estimates on the work that would be required given the higher construction requirements for seismic compliance of an essential services facility.
Point Cloud Scan
•Point Cloud Scan-This scan serves the dual purpose of providing our architect team (and DBEs) with a pixel-by-pixel scan of the building at scale and the work product can also serve as historic documentation of the current condition.
•When combined with photography, provide an enhanced level of detail to the intricacies of the building, and chart the exact position of each individual brick, which will be used to put the façade back together.
Criteria Documents/ Façade Shift
•During the evaluation it was found that there were deficiencies in the 2018 work product that resulted in an increase to the overall size of the project.One such deficiency would have resulted in the apparatus bay not being of sufficient size for the equipment that the City would anticipate being utilized in the near future.Additionally,there is need to provide modern decontamination zones to prevent harmful chemicals and off-gassing from entering the living and workspaces of the Public Safety Facility.
•Based on the work product completed by the City’s architect team,staff will be putting together concept box diagrams to illustrate the three work areas to receive feedback from the Council.The three work areas are Fire Station,Police Station,and Combined Space/Community use.
