RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council adopts a Resolution (Attachment II) approving the plans and specifications for the construction of Fire Station 6 and the Fire Training Center and calls for bids after approval from FAA and DSA. Council’s approval of the plans and specification is with the assumption that any changes related to FAA and DSA’s final approval comments would be minimal; otherwise, staff will bring this project back to Council for further review.
SUMMARY
In 2014, the voters of the City of Hayward approved Measure C, which authorized the City to increase the sales tax rate by one-half cent for, among other things, the restoration and maintenance of City services and facilities, including firefighting/emergency medical services. City staff and the design team have been working on completion of the design and various approvals of this project for a number of years. This project includes a partnership with the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (District) for the shared use of the Fire Training Center. The construction documents are nearly completed, and staff seeks Council’s approval of the plans and specifications. The project is in its final stages of review by FAA and DSA. Once the project receives approval from FAA and DSA, and when the final construction documents are completed, staff will proceed immediately with a call for bids.
