Project Background

The pier was constructed in 1970s as part of DWR research facility. The construction of the park and picnic and restroom facilities was provided by DWR in return for use of City property for research pier. The facilities are now old and in need of an overhaul.

 

 

Project Objectives

Continue to provide fishing access for the public, and integrate into future waterfront facilities.

 

 

Existing Condition

The fishing access area needs to be upgraded to accommodate additional use and meet accessibility needs. It needs to be repaired and maintained properly.  Support facilities such as park area, picnic tables and restrooms have deteriorated over time. The area needs to be designed to fit in with proposed waterfront improvements (trail, etc.).

 

Fiscal Implications

The cost of the pier was estimated during the waterfront planning process several years ago at approximately $80,000.  However, no specific design or cost estimation was done.  Additional programming and design is needed.  This project needs to be considered as part of Waterfront Specific Plan process.  Potential funding sources are grant funds, State participation as before, and/or possible Redevelopment funding.  The operation and maintenance should be considered.  Consideration should be as to a charge for access (user fee) as source of operating revenue?

Project Background

 

Crescent Park is a 0.2 acre park located on North Crescent Drive near downtown.  This neighborhood park is currently comprised of a turf area with playground equipment.  The equipment contained in this park has never been replaced.  The current playground is in need of replacement to meet the Americans with Disabilities Acts and State safety standards.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

The objective of this project is to completely rehabilitate the park.  The items to be installed/constructed are:  new turf; concrete entry into the park; a modern playground; structure for children 2 to 12 years old, with an ADA transfer station; a sports court with a youth size basketball hoop, and postholes for badminton or volleyball play; directional park lighting, a mushroom water feature, a covered picnic area with four (4) concrete picnic tables and two (2) BBQ grills, and an irrigation system.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Crescent Park is a building lot that was developed to provide the residents of this neighborhood with a small, convenient tot lot and playground.  The playground equipment at this park is very old, has very uneven turf, an unattractive chain link fence, no lighting and no access for disabled individuals, and is not very inviting.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The Crescent Park Rejuvenation Project is eligible for funding under the RZH Non-Urbanized Competitive Grant Program.  An application was submitted by the City on December 10th, 2004.  The City is required to provide a 3/7 match, which equates to a 43% match.  30% of the matching funds must be from non-state sources, while 12% can be from other State fund sources.  The local, non state funds can also include in-kind costs.

Project Background

 

The grand stand at the little league field is in need of wood replacement.  There is dry rot, which creates a safety hazard for spectators.

 

This field is used by the baseball little league, soccer league, recreational softball and baseball leagues all year long, 6 years old to seniors.

 

Project Objectives

 

Renovate grand stand and overhang to provide a safe environment for spectators.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Dry rot exists in the wood frames and some slats need dirt added.  They are too thin and have low spots to be sanded and painted/treated.  This facility has reached its useful life and several sections, if not the entire structure needs to be replaced.  If the grand stands continue to deteriorate, the City may be required to remove them either partially or entirely to ensure public safety

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The source of funds to renovate the grand stand will likely come from the park improvement fund.  Funds for this project have not been secured.

Project Background

 

Fibar provides playground surfacing that is designed to be safer for our children. Fibar consists of four elements, Fibar Engineered Wood Fiber, FibarFelt, FibarDrain, and Fibar Mat.  The Fibar System 300 makes playground area soft and shock-absorbing to reduce risks of injuries and is accessible to all children.  This material is certified by the International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association, meets Consumer Products Safety Commission, complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act, is backed by a 25 year warranty, and is covered by product liability insurance.  Fibar is an all natural wood product and not chemically treated in any way, therefore, if younger children were to put the Fibar material in their mouths the material does not pose a toxic hazard. FibarFelt¨ in hard use areas such as under swings, slide exits, and sliding poles is used to protect the surface cover.[1]

 

Project Objectives

 

To provide a safe and accessible playground surface for all children that is easy to maintain and more durable than traditional wood chip ground cover.

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently, most playground areas are covered with wood chips, with the exception of Crescent Park, which has grass and dirt under the playground equipment.  While the bark is an industry acceptable material for surface cover and is preferred over sand, the wood chips can cause splinters, are very flammable, and are easily displaced by the wind.  This material must be topped off annually to maintain the required depth for safety.  The U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) has determined that wood chips are not considered an accessible playground surface.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

This project will use park improvement funds and/or grant funds to fund these improvements.

Project Justification

 

Installing the Fibar ground surface material and drainage system under the playground equipment at the parks throughout the city will provide a safer recreational experience for children and will allow children with disabilities to access the playground equipment.  Fibar is softer, easier to maintain, is ADA accessible, and is not easily flammable.

 

 

Comments

 

The manufacturer states that installations typically require top-offs after three (3) years of use (on some playgrounds, maybe sooner). Top-offs can sometimes be scheduled with other deliveries to minimize the freight cost. 

 

A cost estimate will be required to determine actual cost to install this material at all park sites.

Project Background

 

The basketball court located at Homecoming Park is the only public basketball facility in the City.  Courts located on school grounds are not accessible to children after school hours. 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Encourage more children and adults to engage in physical activities by providing quality recreational facilities that are accessible to the public.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

The basketball court needs to be repaved, sealed, striped and a wind block needs to be added to make this facility desirable for recreational use.  Many residents have complained about the wind and the condition of this basketball court, and being the only outdoor court open to the public for free recreational use, it is important to make these necessary improvements.

Project Justification

 

This basketball court is the only court open free to the public for use, however the court is very windy which creates undesirable conditions for playing basketball.  Residents have requested that the City do something about the wind at this location; the installation of a wind break will address this concern. 

 

The black top has not been repaved since it was built and it is breaking down and has numerous cracks.  Repaving the court will also improve the conditions and promote increased us.

 

 

Comments

 

City staff is considering multiply options for the wind break, include a fence specifically designed for this purpose, a wind break wall, or trees.  While trees may be the most aesthetically pleasing, the city must consider the costs of ongoing maintenance and the installation of irrigation lines.

Project Background

 

The irrigation systems at all of the parks are in poor condition.  Park maintenance staff are having to make very frequent, band-aid type repairs to the irrigation systems, or at parks where the system has failed, maintenance staff must use above ground watering methods (i.e. portable hose sprinklers) to maintain the grounds.  This is a very inefficient use of water and staff resources.  Many components of the irrigation systems need to be replaced in order to properly maintain the city parks.

 

.Project Objectives

 

Improve the water use efficiency of the irrigation systems of the parks, eliminate excessive runoff of health hazards, and better utilize maintenance staff.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Current valves leak, underground lines are leaking, and the sprinkler valves are outdated.  The irrigation control boxes are not functioning.  The water leaks have cost the city in water runoff and caused the creation of health hazards.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The initial costs of irrigation repairs are somewhat costly; however, the cost savings in water consumption and the elimination of health hazards as the excess runoff enters the storm drains justifies the cost of the repairs.  The city may also be eligible for grant funds for the Office of Water Use Efficiency for a Water Use Efficiency Grant.  If the City were awarded grant funds, 100% of the costs may be covered.

Maintenance

 

Project Justification

 

The water leaks have cost the city in water runoff and caused the creation of health hazards.  Failing to identify and make the necessary repairs to prevent excessive water runoff could result in the City receiving National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) violations and having to pay fines.

 

Comments

 

The proposed cost is only estimate and an assessment will need to be completed to determine the exact cost.

 

If the City chooses to apply for grant funds, an assessment of the water losses, the related costs of the wasted water, and the repairs needed will need to be completed to prepare for the grant application, and the project could not go to construction until summer or fall of 2007 to allow for the State to complete the review process of the applications.  The initial costs to complete the assessment and the application will likely cost the city about $15,000, but if the City is successful, it could result in a savings of $150,000.

Project Background

           

The need for recreation opportunities in Rio Vista was recently acknowledged throughout the comments from the 2004 City of Rio Vista Citizen Survey.  In response, the City is working to expand recreational services for all ages.  The purchase of a portable stage will allow the creation and enhancement of many types of recreation programs.  A stage would allow outside performances and musical concerts to come to Rio Vista.  In addition, a portable stage could be used for various purposes during parades, festivals and farmerÕs markets. 

 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

In order to meet the recreational needs of Rio Vista citizens, a portable stage provides the following:

á       An increase in recreation opportunities for Rio Vista residents.

á       The enhancement of current festivals and parades -- which in turn will help increase tourism opportunities.

á       A rentable piece of equipment for community group use.

 

 

Existing Condition

           

We currently have no such equipment, therefore, the City rents portable stages for events.

Fiscal Implications

 

Account 010-0300-0150-7905

 

It may be possible to offset upkeep costs through rental fees to community groups.

Project Background

 

The City of Rio Vista is currently without a police canine unit.

 

Project Objectives

 

To provide police canine services, both patrol functions (building searches, tracking) and narcotics detection for the City.

 

Existing Condition

 

The police departmentÕs canine program was suspended in 2004 due to the retirement of the police service dog.  In the past, the police service dog has been beneficial to the community with locating hidden narcotics, searching buildings and locating lost persons. The City has a need for a police service dog for the community.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The City needs to make an initial purchase of the following items:

 

á       Police Service Dog – Patrol/Narcotics Trained ($7,350)

á       Canine Handler Training Patrol Services ($2,500)

á       Canine Handler Training Narcotics Detection ($2,500)

á       Annual Maintenance Training – OfficerÕs Salary ($3,410 per year)

á       Compensation for Care/Maintenance by Handler - ($6,465 per year)

á       Food and Veterinary Services – Budget ($636 per year)

á       Vehicle Pursuit Package Chevrolet Tahoe or equivalent, lease option ($375/mo) 5 yr. replacement

á        

Grant funding and donations may be available for the initial purchase of this police canine program, however, if grant funding is not available the purchase of this police canine program will have to be funded from the general fund.

Project Background

 

The City of Rio Vista provides emergency communications by contracting yearly with the Contra Costa County SheriffÕs Department in Martinez.  The CityÕs initial cost to Contra Costa for dispatch services was approximately $20,000 annually.  Our current contract is approximately $32,000 and is due to expire in June 2006. 

 

The City of Rio Vista is currently exploring changing its dispatch services from Contra Costa Sheriff to the Solano County SheriffÕs Department.  This is in part due to the new Radio Interoperability Program (700 MHz) which is currently scheduled for implementation county-wide with-in the next few years.  Staff has been advised that the cost for these services will be very close to the current cost. 

 

 

 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

The Department of Homeland Security has designated a new 700 MHz public safety radio band.  This was a result of September 11, 2001 and other recent events where communications was a critical factor.  As a result of these frequencies being released, all agencies within Solano County have been working to obtain some of these frequencies to improve communication throughout the county.  Staff has been part of the planning process for this new program and will continue to be involved.  

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Contra Costa County is currently providing the City of Rio Vista with dispatch services.  The City provides the individual radio hardware (emergency radios and portable radios, as well as the Mobile Data Terminals) in each police vehicle.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

This program will be an ongoing expense to the general fund.  With the implementation of the new 700 MHz public safety radio band the cost may qualify for federal grant funding, which may reduce the initial start-up costs.

Project Background

 

The Rio Vista Police DepartmentÕs current communication equipment is now due for replacement, and as the current patrol vehicle fleet is being reorganized there is a need for additional equipment.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

To provide functioning up-to-date communications equipment in the City of Rio Vista patrol units. As the department finds it necessary to increase the size of the vehicle fleet, the amount of equipment needed will have to expand. This equipment needs to be replaced every four to five years.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently, the department has 4 marked patrol units. In early 2005, the department will be adding another marked patrol unit by exchanging one of the departmentÕs unmarked units.  This exchange will create the need for one new mobile data terminal (MDT) and one new mobile radio. The current mobile data terminals and mobile radios are over ten years old and are currently due to be replaced.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The City needs to make an initial purchase (mid-year FY 2004/05) of the following necessary emergency communication equipment for one new marked unit and one new unit to be used by the Community Service Officer:

 

á       (2) Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) ($9,000)

á       (2) Vehicular Radio Modem ($9,000)

á       (2) Mobile Emergency Radio ($4,000)

 

During FY 2005/06 the department needs to replace:

 

á       (3) Mobile Data Terminal ($13,500)

á       (3) Vehicular Radio Modem ($13,500)

á       (3) Mobile Emergency Radio ($6,000)

 

During FY 2006/07 the department needs to replace:

 

á       (2) Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) ($9,000)

á       (2) Vehicular Radio Modem ($9,000)

á       (2) Mobile Emergency Radio ($4,000)

 

 

During FY 2007/08 the department should not need to replace any of this equipment.

 

 

During FY 2008/09 the department needs to replace:

á       (2) Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) ($9,000)

á       (2) Vehicular Radio Modem ($9,000)

á       (2) Mobile Emergency Radio ($4,000)

Project Background

 

The City needs to provide the appropriate firearms for police officers.

 

Project Objectives

 

To supply firearms that meets standards established and recognized by the City. To provide functioning up to date shoulder fired weapons in the City of Rio Vista patrol units. As the department finds it necessary to increase the size of the vehicle fleet, the amount of equipment needed will have to expand. This equipment needs to be replaced every 6 to 8 years.

 

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently the department has 4 marked patrol units. In early 2005, the department will be adding another marked patrol unit, creating a need for one new patrol rifle and one new patrol shotgun. The standardization of departmental weapons has proven to have a significant impact to officer safety within modern law enforcement.

 

The police department currently has three AR-15 .223 Patrol Rifles that are at least 10 years old and four 12 gauge police shotguns with tactical lights that are 12 years old.  These weapons should be replaced every 5 years.  Furthermore, these weapons are shared between 13 people.  This poses a concern for accuracy and public safety, as rifles need to be ÒsightedÓ by the person using the weapon. 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The City needs to make an initial purchase of the following firearms:

 

á       (10) 12 gauge police shotgun w/ tactical light ($5600)

á       (10) AR-15 .223 Patrol Rifle ($8200)

 

During FY 2006/07 the department will need to replace:

á       (5) 12 gauge police shotgun w/ tactical light ($2800)

á       (5) AR-15 .223 Patrol Rifle ($4100)

 

During FY 2008/09 the department will need to purchase firearms for new officers:

á       (5) 12 gauge police shotgun w/ tactical light ($2800)

á       (5) AR-15 .223 Patrol Rifle ($4100)

 

During FY 2009/10 the department will need to replace:

á       (10) 12 gauge police shotgun w/ tactical light ($5600)

Project Justification

 

This equipment has become a basic necessity for all law enforcement agencies throughout the state.

 

All sworn officers should be assigned their own weapons.  This is important because rifle sights are very specific to individuals and it is very difficult for a different person to use that weapon.  As a result, many officers have resorted to purchasing their own rifles rather than use the shared weapons.  Another problem with sharing weapons is when a weapon is used by an officer in the line of duty it is removed from service and becomes evidence until an investigation is completed; this can take months or even years.  So in this instance, there are even less weapons available to the department.

 

For the safety of the community and officers, as well as for investigative purposes it is necessary to purchase firearms in enough quantity so as to assign each officer his/her own weapon and not allow them to be shared, as well as have a small reserve to replace weapons removed from service.

Project Justification

 

This facility will be necessary to meet the service demands the community will expect from the police department.  As the community population grows, so must the staffing for the police department.  As these staffing increases occur, the facility staff works from will also have to increase in size to meet these needs.

 

Comments

 

Staff will work closely with developers to ensure this project is funded as a direct result of the expected growth associated with the proposed development.

Project Background

 

The City needs to supply soft ballistic body armor to all sworn police officers as mandated by state law.  Soft ballistic body armor can save the city huge amounts of money by cutting down on the cost of health care as a result of the protection provided to officers.

 

 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Providing effective soft ballistic body armor to all sworn officers and replacing each unit every five years. To give the officers the greatest level of protection from the hazards of their job. This project will meet the stateÕs mandate of providing all officers with soft ballistic body armor.

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently the City reimburses its police officers a specific amount to be applied towards the purchase of soft ballistic body armor every five years.  The City is then reimbursed a percentage of this cost through a Federal Grant Program for body armor.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

Soft ballistic body armor units can cost $900 to $1,350.  The City should establish standards for this safety equipment and procure this equipment for issue to all officers.

 

Funds may be available through Federal grant sources to off-set approximately 50% of these costs; if these grant funds are not available the entire cost will have to be funded from the general fund.

Project Background

 

The City needs to provide the appropriate firearms for police officers.   Officers currently share firearms.  If a firearm is used in the line of duty, it is removed for service for months or even years until an investigation is completed. 

 

 

Project Objectives

 

To supply firearms that meet standards established and recognized by the City. This equipment needs to be replaced every 6 to 8 years.

 

 

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently, every officer in the Rio Vista Police Department carries a different firearm. This causes significant problems to the officers and the agency.  By purchasing and issuing officers the same firearm it will improve consistency within the department, ultimately reducing liability to the officers and the City. The standardization of departmental weapons has proven to have a significant impact on officer safety within modern law enforcement agencies.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The City needs to make an initial purchase of the following firearms:

 

á       (20) Semi-Auto loading pistols w/ tactical flashlight ($750 each)

 

Grant funding may be available for the initial purchase of these firearms, however, if grant funding is not available the purchase of these firearms will have to be funded from the general fund.

Project Background

 

The department currently uses a software program to log the evidence, which currently requires an officer to complete a variety of paperwork to maintain the evidence chain-of-custody. This process is very time consuming, costly and redundant. Under the current program the identification and check-in/check-out process takes a great deal of time for an officer to complete, taking the officer away from other duties.

 

Project Objectives

 

This will update the evidence system and provide a more efficient method to track and process evidence. Under the new system all evidence will be coded with a bar code that will match the same bar coding that appears in the officerÕs report.  With the bar code scanner the location and storing of evidence will be more efficient, add to the tracking of evidence and present better security for evidence items. The new bar-coding will also save valuable staff time required to store and retrieve evidence and other property under the control of the department.

 

Existing Condition

 

The department currently uses a very basic, and very limited, software program to log and store evidence.  This system, as it is not integrated with the departmentÕs current Records Management System requires some level of redundant entry by staff. This process is very time consuming, costly and inefficient for all officers who are charge with handling, processing, storing and retrieving evidence.  The check-in and out process is all done by hand with several redundant entries being made into the software program.

 

Grant funding may be available for the initial purchase of the equipment, however if grant funding is not available, the purchase of this equipment will have to be funded from the general fund.

Project Background

 

With police officerÕs credibility being questioned through out the nation and citizen complaints being at an all time high, it is imperative the City provide equipment that will support an officerÕs testimony about their activity and enforcement efforts.  This project will also greatly enhance an officerÕs ability to prove or disprove allegations in both criminal and civil complaints. 

 

Project Objectives

 

The objective of this project is to provide physical evidence that will support an officerÕs testimony to secure successful prosecution of violations.  This will also prove to be a valuable asset in saving essential staff time expended during investigations of both criminal and civil complaints.

 

Existing Condition

 

Currently all police marked vehicles are equipped with in-car VHS Mobile Video Systems.  The VHS recording systems have proven to be unreliable, costly to maintain, and time consuming to keep in operation.  The industry has now shifted to more reliable units which record using digital

 

technology.  The new systems digitally record and store the video and audio recordings; they are then capable of wirelessly transmitting the digital recording to a dedicated server located within the police facility.  After being downloaded to the server the recording can then be downloaded onto a CD to be maintained for any future needs.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

As this equipment may likely save several hundred thousand dollars in litigation cost, the cost of the investment will most likely offset the initial and on-going costs. 

 

Grant funding may be available for the initial purchase of the equipment, however if grant funding is not available the purchase of this equipment will have to be funded from the general fund.  Initial year funding will be for 5 vehicles.  As the fleet of vehicles becomes larger additional cameras will be needed at an additional cost of $7,000 per vehicle depending on inflation.

Project Background

 

The current police facility has experienced several areas of standing water on the roof after periods of rain.  Because the water does not properly drain from the roof, it develops leaks in various areas of the building.  These leaks have damaged/destroyed various documents as a result of water damage and have occasionally required sections of the building to be inaccessible due to the water creating slippery surfaces, particularly hazardous to physically impaired persons. 

 

The facility also does not meet ADA regulations for accessibility.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Provide a new roof for the police facility which will allow water to properly drain from the roof and complete ADA improvements as follows:  ADA parking (2 spaces); accessible service counter for the public; accessible drinking fountain; accessible automatic door opener at front entrance; 2 handicap ramp access to building; reconfigure conference room and public access areas to ADA compliance; compliant door clearance in public areas; compliant lever-type door hardware; office signage; upgrade existing restrooms to meet ADA compliance.

 

Existing Condition

 

The current facility is a modular building which the City purchased used.  The building has been moved at leased twice and such moves can create structural problems with the building, especially the roof.  The restrooms, entrances and exits, and conference room are not ADA compliant.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

The City was awarded CDBG General Allocation Grant funds; therefore, all or most of the estimated cost will be paid with these funds.

Project Background

The project will create a team of officers, who will be provided special training and tools, which will allow them to assertively enforce traffic regulations throughout the City, with a special emphasis on State Route 12.   The officers will also provide support for other officers assigned patrol duties with selective traffic enforcement. 

 

Project Objectives

At present, the department does not have officers who have the necessary training and equipment to conduct an effective traffic enforcement program.  With this project, the department will increase their ability to; enforce hazardous violations, reduce collisions, reduce injury accidents, increase driving under the influence arrests, increase public awareness about traffic safety, impound vehicles when the driver is unlicensed or has a suspended or revoked driverÕs license.  These officers will also manage the deployment of the Mobile Message Sign Board/Radar Trailer. 

 

Existing Condition

The City recently conducted a city-wide survey of all residents.  A substantial percentage of the respondents expressed concern about the amount of traffic on State Route 12, and the lack of enforcement.

 

The City has experienced a nearly three fold increase in the number of injury collisions from 11 in 2001 to 32 during 2002.  Speeding was the primary collision factor in approximately 50% of the total collisions reported in 2001.  Speed related injury collisions have increased from 10 during 2001 to 15 in 2002. 

 

The City has a significant traffic problem with State Route 12.  CalTrans traffic volume data shows that the average daily vehicle volume on State Route 12 within the City has increased

 

from 13,000 vehicles per day in 1997 to 21,600 vehicles per day in 2002.  Staff feels current numbers are much higher and that these numbers will continue to climb in coming years.  The current rates are so high, it presents a serious risk to school aged children and senior citizens who must cross State Route 12 during peak traffic flows.   At present, the department lacks the training and equipment to address this significant issue.

 

Fiscal Implications

This program qualified for grant funding from the State of California Office of Traffic Safety.  However, additional funding will be required from the general fund.

Project Justification

 

This project will significantly increase the effectiveness of the department in their effort to reduce the number of traffic accidents (injury, non-injury, and fatal) within the City.

 

Comments

 

Staff has seen the need for this project escalate very rapidly this past year, and realizes it must be a top priority for the City.

Project Background

 

Due to Rio VistaÕs remote location and frequent winds, power outages occur multiple times during the year.  Additional power outages may also occur as a result of the age of the facilities.  Such outages are not only inconvenient, but they can lead to health hazards if critical infrastructure suffers failures as a result of the power outage.

 

 

Project Objectives

 

Provide emergency back-up power at all city facilities, with priority given to critical infrastructure facilities and public safety buildings (e.g. Police and Fire Departments).

 

 

Existing Condition

 

When power outages occur in the city there is no back-up power for any of the cityÕs facilities including the water and wastewater facilities, and the police and fire department buildings.  At some facilities, manual generators are available; however, the power generated by this equipment is extremely low.  During such outages public safety is comprised.  An example would be the fact that the fire department bay doors are power operated, so when there is no power, the doors cannot be opened.

 

 

Fiscal Implications

 

Priority will be given to critical infrastructure and public safety facilities; the non-critical facilities will have installations completed in later phases.

 

Montezuma Fire District has agreed to pay $4,000.

Project Justification

 

Given the frequency of power outages in the City, it is very important that at least the critical and public safety facilities avoid power interruptions to maintain public safety.

Project Background

 

A new corporation yard and public works facilities (offices, maintenance garage, possibly wash facility) will be needed as growth occurs.

 

Project Objectives

 

Provide adequate vehicle yard, maintenance facility and accommodations for City crews. Possible joint use with School District, County and Cal Trans, and others, particularly bus/truck wash facility.   The City also needs to construct on-site gasoline and diesel fuel storage tanks, covered storage for city vehicles (carport), covered and enclosed storage for replacement parts, and uncovered outdoor storage bins for gravel, asphalt, and sand (a minimum of 4 bins).

 

 

Existing Condition

 

Current facilities at St. Francis Road are obsolete and inadequate. The NWWTP will include an administration building and yard which will be shared with PW staff and equipment that will accommodate the next few years. A new facility is still needed for five years and beyond.

 

Fiscal Implications

 

Cost of simple corporation yard and City PW facility is estimated at $1,000,000, to accommodate 30 employees (total future build out need). Unclear as to whether this can be constructed in phases and timing. The following assumes two phase construction, with first phase (beyond WWTP facility) occurring at the end of the five year period.
