PROPOSAL for the "PROGRAMMING and CONCEPTUAL DESIGN 
/ BUDGETING" PHASES of the FIRE STATION REMODEL
 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #99-610 by the RRM DESIGN GROUP, 
an ARCHITECTURAL and ENGINEERING FIRM

 

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended by the Hermosa Beach Fire Department that City Council approve the proposal for the "Programming and Conceptual Design / Budgeting" phases of the Fire Station remodel - Capital Improvement Project #99-610 by the RRM Design Group, an architectural and engineering firm.

 

BACKGROUND

The original fire station was built in 1954 and, in 1989, a second story was added to provide needed sleeping and bathroom spaces for firefighters working 24-hour shifts. Increased demands on the department along with the advent of female firefighters and other industry mandates require attention to the renovation and remodel of existing facilities. Project goals include the addition of square footage to the second floor for additional sleeping areas, bathroom(s), improved office spaces, storage, and to provide a more efficient work environment, meeting the changing operational demands of the department while bringing it into conformance with ADA requirements and OSHA regulations.

 

PROJECT WORK PLAN and STRATEGY

A Project Management Plan will be used and developed from research and discussions with the Fire Department Design Committee. This report will focus on project goals and procedures including: budget, time, aesthetics, and functionality.

The architectural team will produce one (1) conceptual building layout and design including a site plan and exterior sketch perspective showing the massing of the existing building with its addition / renovation. Based on the project programs and site analysis a conceptual study will be used to identify the operational priorities of the department as they affect the cost of the project. The goal of this study is to determine the basic operational demands of the department, apply them spatially to the existing facility and to determine levels of costs for improvements.

A Comprehensive Project Budget will be developed with three (3) alternative budgets presented addressing both current and future needs of the department developed through short and long range planning efforts.

 

FISCAL IMPACT

The proposal fee of $27,505.00 includes the architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering services to accommodate the Programming and Conceptual Design and Project Budgeting phases for the Fire Station Capital Improvement Project.
