December 29, 1975
TO: City Manager
FROM: City Engineer .
SUBJECT : Fire Station Number 3'- City Contract No. 1029 (southeast corner of El Camino Real and Chestnut)
BACKGROUND
In 1966, the City purchased Lot 1 of El Camino Mesa, Unit No. 1 subdivision for the purpose of constructing a fire station. The purchase price of this lot was $7,500.00.
In 1973, the City contracted the architectural firm of Ferguson
di Girolamo and Associates to prepare plans and specifications
for the subject fire station. The fee for these services was
$5,200.00.
In.1974, the City budgeted $78,400.00 ($70,000 for the fire
station and $8,400 for furnishings) from Revenue Sharing funds
for the construction of the fire station but staff was directed
not to proceed with the project while consideration was given to
alternate sites and solutions. .
In 1975, the project was given the go-ahead and several public
informational meetings were held with Bill Baldwin and residents of the El Camino Mesa neighborhood. On October 15, 1975, the
Planning Commission granted conditional use permit number 112 for the proposed fire station and the project was assigned to my dep'artment to administer the construction contract. We are in the process of preparing an agenda bill for the City Council meeting
of January 6, 1976, asking for approval of the plans and specifi-
cations and authorizing the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
DISCUSSION
We are in the process of modifying the architects plans and speci-
fications to put into biddable form. This work includes adding
plumbing, electrical and site plan details to more specifically identify the extent of the work to be performed.
The estimate for the total cost of the construction contract is $94,850.00 while only $70,000.00 has been budgeted. (See attached Engineers Estimate).

It is estimated, then, that approximately $25,000.00 additional funding will be required in order to proceed with the construction contract. I have discussed this with the Fire Chief and Finance
Director and it is my recommendation that:
RECOMMENDATION -
1. That the City proceed to advertize for bids on January 6, 1976.
2. That the $25,000.00 Revenue Sharing Funds of 1974 which have been encumbered for the specific purpose of funding Carlsbad's anticipated share of a Tri-City Fire College be authorized to be
utilized for the Fire Station No. 3.
It is further recommended that, depending on the results of the competitive bidding, should there be need for additional funds, that the additional funding come from the unappropriated reserves of the General Fund.
