CITY OF REDONDO BEACH BOND MEASURE (FP) PROJECT
TO REBUILD THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS
AND RENOVATE THE POLICE ANNEX FACILITY
VISION, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The City’s Measure FP Project is a voter-approved $93,350,000 general obligation bond measure to fund the reconstruction of Fire Stations No. 1 and 2 and the modernization of Police facilities, including the Headquarters and Annex buildings, in an expedient manner within the established budget in order to enhance public safety operations.
This RFQ/P is focused solely on the transformation of Police Department facilities, including the Headquarters and Annex buildings, for the Measure FP Project and the following defines the fundamental programmatic, performance and quality requirements that will guide design and construction under the PDB approach, which may be modified during Phase One (1) (Preconstruction/Design Development), subject to Owner approval, and defines the standards against which the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal will be evaluated before proceeding to Phase Two (2) (Final Design and Construction).
Vision Statement
The City envisions a unified, modern, cohesive and operationally efficient PD campus, through the selective renovation, expansion and/or replacement of existing PD facilities, which supports effective law enforcement practices, promotes excellence in policing, and enhances community/public safety.
Key Goals and Objectives
• Phased Redevelopment with Operational Continuity
As the City’s Police Department (RBPD) must remain fully operational throughout the duration of the Project, the Design-Builder will be responsible for developing a detailed phasing and transition plan that ensures the uninterrupted provision and deployment of public safety services. This includes coordination of temporary workspaces, secure access routes and vehicle parking, and utility connections, which will be critical to maintaining operations and minimizing potential disruptions to PD personnel and the public.
• Program-Driven Facility Replacement
The redevelopment effort will be guided by the City’s established programmatic needs and operational priorities, including the goal of consolidating key PD units and divisions under one roof or within a cohesive campus. The design should promote efficient circulation, functional adjacencies between units, secure access points, and adaptable spaces that support modern policing practices and take into account ever evolving, future technology needs. • Cost Effectiveness and Long-Term Value
In collaboration with the PDB team, the City aims to emphasize cost-conscious design and construction solutions; leverage open-book cost estimating, value engineering and life-cycle cost analysis; and invest in durable, low-maintenance materials and systems that extend the useful life of City assets.
2 • Integrated and Collaborative Delivery
The PDB process will require close collaboration between the City, and more specifically the Police Department, and the Design-Builder to refine design documents, validate costs, and establish a GMP aligned with the approved budget and scope. As such, the Design-Builder must demonstrate an ability to coordinate design progression with financial, permitting and construction readiness in order to minimize downtime and accelerate delivery. • Operational Efficiency and Site Functionality
The Project must balance functionality, safety and aesthetics while enhancing both operational performance and civic presence. The Design-Builder should evaluate existing facilities, site circulation and secure zones in order to propose layouts that improve workflow, enhance staff and public access, and integrate critical law enforcement functions. • Collaborative and Transparent Team Culture
The City seeks a Design-Builder with proven experience delivering public safety facilities utilizing alternative or innovative delivery models, particularly those involving phased operations and temporary facilities, in order to yield a strong, transparent and collaborative working relationship centered around communication, problem solving and trust.
LOCATION
The Project is a multi-phase initiative to reimagine, upgrade and unify the existing PD Headquarters and Annex facilities into a modern, high-performing and operationally resilient campus that meets current and future law enforcement and public safety needs. • Police Headquarters (PD HQ): 401 Diamond Street: 19,152 SF • Police Annex Building (PD AB): 200 N Pacific Coast Hwy: 11,226 SF
PROGRAM / SCOPE
Several options could be pursued and further explored to reach the highest and best use possible for PD operations based on the footprint or square feet of the existing facilities combined with any new construction, all within the budget cap/allocation.
This might encompass targeted structural upgrades for specific support functions; expansion of existing facilities based on essential versus adaptive reuse for non-essential operations; a hybrid approach of selective demolition/rebuild and renovation; and/or a phased implementation of a new PD building footprint over time.
The following are intended as general use and occupancy objectives for a combined PD HQ campus or facility, and given the City’s public and institutional zone regulations allow for building height up to fortyfive (45) feet or three (3) stories, a new PD HQ could feasibly be located adjacent to the existing footprint with a redesigned presence next to City Hall.

DESIGN CHARACTER
The redevelopment of the PD facilities should strive to maintain compatibility and continuity with the existing Civic Center site and adjacent neighborhoods.
• Core Improvements
Modernization and/or replacement of existing PD buildings should address the City’s identified programmatic needs, and improvements shall include upgrades to spaces and areas housing key law enforcement functions, and the design thereof should optimize circulation, adjacencies and workflow.
4 • Temporary Operations Support
While the City will directly procure any necessary temporary modular facilities, the PDB team will be responsible for designing and implementing any associated site improvements, grading and utility connections required to ensure the temporary facilities are fully functional and aligned with the approved construction schedule.
• Site Enhancements
Upgraded utilities, secure staff and public parking areas, pedestrian and vehicle circulation, fencing, lighting, and landscaping designed to enhance the overall PD campus functionality. Site improvements should take into account necessary, separate access points or zones based on critical law enforcement operations.
• Sustainability and Resiliency
Incorporation of durable, energy-efficient systems, inclusive of backup power generation, and design strategies that reduce long-term maintenance costs and improve building performance under emergency and post-disaster conditions.
• Future Scalability
Design flexibility to accommodate future technology integration, evolving staff needs, and the potential expansion or reconfiguration of facilities without significant operational disruption.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS / TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Structural and seismic compliance for essential services buildings with 75-year design life, and meets or exceeds standards for critical law enforcement operations as promulgated by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP).
• Functional and operational systems, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP), designed for high reliability and with redundancy.
