AGENDA TITLE: Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Schematic Design Contract for the New
Police Building, 200 Block of West Elm Street
MEETING DATE: October 20, 1999
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract
with George Miers & Associates, of Moraga, for the schematic design of
the new Police Department building, and to execute contract change
orders, as needed, for this project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its September 2, 1998 meeting, City Council authorized the
City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with
George Miers & Associates to establish a master plan and space
needs evaluation of the existing Public Safety Building. This work
has been completed.
At a special City Council meeting August 25, 1999, Council directed staff to move forward with the design
process for a new police building on the North side of Elm Street. The first step in this process is
schematic design. Schematic design establishes the scope of the project, including the site plan, floor
plans, layout, building elevations and design sections, written description of site and building systems
(electrical, mechanical, security, etc.) and an associated "framework" project cost estimate.
FUNDING: The estimated cost for this work is $131,530. Funding is available from previous
appropriations for the project.
