BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SBCFPD provides emergency and fire protection services to over 60 communities and unincorporated areas covering over 20,160 square miles within the County. SBCFPD is committed to providing the highest level of service in the most efficient and cost-effective manner to the citizens and communities it serves.
Fire Station 231 in San Bernardino has experienced significant deterioration of its driveway and rear apron, including concrete failure and drainage problems that result in water pooling. Approval of CIP Project No. 27-037, the Fire Station 231 Driveway, Sidewalk and Apron Improvements Project, will authorize SBCFPD to remove and replace the affected concrete surfaces. The project is estimated to cost $621,025.
SBCFPD's Vehicle Services facility, located at 120 South D Street in San Bernardino, supports the maintenance and preparation of emergency vehicles and apparatus throughout SBCFPD. Since the property was acquired in 2016, the employee and shop parking areas have continued to show wear associated with age and regular operational use. The facility has also experienced incidents of unauthorized access, prompting consideration of additional site-security measures. Because the site does not currently include a designated, access-controlled employee parking area, employees park within portions of the shop maintenance area, which can affect the efficient use of available workspace. Approval of CIP Project No. 27-035, the Vehicle Services Re-pavement and Fencing Project, will allow SBCFPD to proceed with pavement replacement, parking-area improvements, and enhanced perimeter security fencing. These improvements are intended to improve site organization, functionality, and controlled access while supporting the continued maintenance and operational readiness of emergency response vehicles. The estimated project cost is $361,626.
The San Bernardino County Project and Facilities Management Department will manage the projects for SBCFPD.
PROCUREMENT
Selection of the contractor for the Capital Improvement Program project will be in accordance with the County's procurement policies and procedures.
