REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Cost Reimbursement Agreement with Moffett Place LLC for the Construction of Additional Improvements for the Moffett Place Public Safety Facility and Authorize the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with Motorola to Furnish and Install a Monopole at Moffett Place Public Safety Facility (new Fire Station No. 5)
Report
BACKGROUND
On December 2013, the City Council approved a Development Agreement (DA) with Moffett Place LLC (Landowner) as part of the development at 1152 Bordeaux Avenue. In the DA, dated January 22, 2014, the Landowner committed to construct an approximately 18,600-square foot public safety facility that included a three bay fire station (new Fire Station No.5) and adjoining indoor shooting range. The Landowner also agreed to fund a new fire ladder truck capable of servicing high-rise buildings. The Landowner and Department of Public Safety staff worked together to develop the project program and conceptual plans for the facility. As part of the DA, it was established that the Landowner would pay a not-to-exceed amount of $13.7 million for all the improvements, including the fire truck.
After further design refinement, staff determined that there are a number of improvements the City will require that were not part of the conceptual cost estimate or beyond the scope of the public safety facility as described in the DA. These improvements include items such as equipment that will be required for operations of the facility, including installation of a monopole to maintain regional interoperability, and have available funds within the approved budget. It is more efficient to have them included as part of the overall project than as part of a future separate project.
