BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Rosena Ranch, formed in 2007, is a master planned community consisting of 2,000 homes and an elementary school, located on 25 acres next to the Lytle Creek delta and Interstate 15. Currently, the Fontana Sheriff Station, located at 17780 Arrow Boulevard in Fontana, serves the Rosena Ranch community. Although this station is approximately only ten miles away from Rosena Ranch, the substantial increase in vehicle traffic and limited route access to Rosena Ranch have significantly increased response times.
On March 7, 2017 (Item No. 23), the Board of Supervisors approved CIP Project No. 17-268 to build a new fire station in the Rosena Ranch area, which is currently in progress. It has been determined that building a Sheriff sub-station as part of a joint public safety facility would be of considerable benefit to this community, improving efficiency and reducing public safety response times.
The recommended actions will establish the Project and budget to allow the Project and Facilities Management Department to oversee and manage the one contract under two project numbers.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
