Adopt a resolution approving a budget appropriation in the amount of $500,000 from in the Government Facilities Fees Fund (Fund 540) to Capital Improvement Project 24071 - Manteca Police Department Headquarters for costs associated with consultant plan review and inspection; and authorizing the City Manager or designee to take all appropriate actions necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the resolution.
body
Background:
The City is proceeding with the design and construction of a new Manteca Police Department Headquarters, identified as Capital Improvement Project 24071 and funded in part by the Government Facilities Fee Fund (Fund 540). The new headquarters will be located at 682 S. Main Street and is intended to support current and future police staffing and operational needs. As the project advances from design into permitting and construction, specialized building plan review and inspection services are required to ensure conformance with applicable codes and standards, maintain project schedule, and support City staffing capacity.
Construction of a new police station requires plan review and inspection by the City’s Building Safety Division to ensure compliance with applicable state law and adopted building codes. California Health and Safety Code section 17960 requires local jurisdictions to enforce state building standards and requires local building departments to conduct plan review and inspections to verify compliance with those standards. In addition, Health and Safety Code section 16009 requires that plans and specifications for essential services buildings-including police stations-be reviewed and approved to ensure compliance with the seismic safety requirements established under the Essential Services Buildings Seismic Safety Act. Consistent with these statutes, the California Building Code, as adopted and enforced by the City, requires building permit issuance, plan review, and inspections during construction to verify that the facility complies with applicable structural, life-safety, accessibility, and building standards. Accordingly, the City’s Building Safety Division must perform plan review and inspection services for the proposed police station to ensure the project meets all required state and local building regulations.
The Development Services Department currently utilizes a qualified consultant, under an existing not-to-exceed contract, to perform third-party plan review and inspection services on complex development and capital projects. This existing agreement provides an efficient mechanism to secure the necessary building plan review and inspection services for the new police headquarters without delay, while ensuring that the City can fulfill its statutory duties under state law and the California Building Code.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funds are available in the Government Facilities Fund (Fund 540) for this appropriation.
Staff recommends the following:
1. Appropriating $500,000 in the Government Facilities Fee Fund (Fund 540).
2. Increasing CIP 24071 - Manteca Police Department Headquarters by $500,000.
