WHEREAS, on March 11, 2021, the City Council identified a priority goal to "Bring the Fire
Department into conformance with the Standards of Cover evaluation"; and
WHEREAS, on May 11, 2021, the City Council approved a Work Plan that outlined how this goal
would be achieved; and
WHEREAS, the Work Plan identified the need for Temporary Fire Station 7, or TFS No. 7; and
WHEREAS, on June 8, 2021, the City Council approved Capital Improvement Program, or CIP,
Project No. 4091 to prepare a site in the vicinity of Cannon Road and Avenida Encinas for the purpose
of siting TFS No. 7; and
WHEREAS, on March 22, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-079, which
appropriated additional funds for const ruction of TFS No.7, CIP Project No. 4091; and
WHEREAS, to construct TFS No. 7, staff need to procure modular buildings to house personnel
and equipment; and
WHEREAS, due to long lead times in manufacturing, the modular buildings need to be ordered
well in advance of TFS No. 7 construction to keep project construction on schedule; and
WHEREAS, City Council authorization is required to purchase the modular buildings pursuant to
Carlsbad Municipal Code, or CMC, Section 3.28.040(0)(1) becau se procurement costs for these
modular buildings exceed $100,000; and
WHEREAS, the CMC allows for the awarding authority, in this case the City Council, to exempt
purchases of goods from the procurement provisions of Chapter 3.28 for various reasons; and
WHEREAS, CMC Section 3.28.llO(C) allows exemption from procurement provisions ifitems are
required to be matching or compatible with other goods purchased by the city, and CMC Section
3.28.llO(N) allows exemption from procurement provisions if it is in the best interest of the city; and
WHEREAS, the city's purchasing officer supports requesting an exemption from Chapter 3.28 of
the CMC pursuant to CMC 3.28.llO{C) and 3.28.ll0(N); and
WHEREAS, funding for this purchase is available in the project budget, and no additional
appropriation is required; and
WHEREAS, the City Planner has determined that the project belongs to a class of projects that
the State Secretary for Resources has found do not have a significant impact on the environment, and
it is therefore categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents pursuant to Section 15301-"existing facilities," 15303 -"construction or conversion of
small structures," 15303 (c), 15304 (f) -"minor alterations to land" of the California Environmental
Quality Act, or CEQA, Guidelines. In making this determination, the City Planner has found that the
exceptions listed in Section 15300.2 of the state CEQA Guidelines do not apply to this project; and
WHEREAS, the project is consistent with: (1) 15301 (b) because it is located on a developed site
with existing parking and utilities such as gas, sewer, water, and electrical amenities; (2) Section 15303
(c) because the two temporary buildings that would house a maximum of seven staff members and
would contain two offices are each less than 2,000 square feet and combined are less than 6,000 square
feet; and (3) Section 15304 (f) because there will be minor trenching conducted in order to connect to
existing underground utilities and the surface would be restored. Purchasing modular buildings for
implementation is consistent with that determination.

follows:
