Meeting Date: Sept. 13, 2022
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Scott Chadwick, City Manager
Staff Contact: Steven Stewart, Municipal Projects Manager

Subject: Authorization of a Professional Services Agreement for Design Services
for the Reconfiguration of the Emergency Operations Center
District: 2
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution authorizing execution of a professional services agreement with Sillman
Wright Architects, a California corporation, to provide design services for the Emergency
Operations Center Reconfiguration Project, Capital Improvement Program Project No. 4719, in
an amount not to exceed $272,640.
Executive Summary
The technology infrastructure within the Emergency Operations Center is undersized and lacks
adequate equipment to meet current emergency response standards for the city. Recent
emergency response events have underscored the need for the city to upgrade the space,
technology infrastructure and furnishings to accommodate the number of staff that serve the
city in such events.
Staff solicited design proposals for a project to reconfigure the center, reviewed the proposals
received and now recommend the City Council authorize an agreement with Sillman Wright
Architects to perform the work for an amount not to exceed $272,640.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.060(D)(5) requires City Council authorization for
procurement of professional services that will cost the city more than $100,000 per agreement
year.
Discussion
The operations center is located within the conference room wing of the Police and Fire
Headquarters, 2560 Orion Way, as shown in Exhibit 2.
The Project Charter Report for fiscal year 2022-23 describes the authorized scope of the work
on this project in the city’s Capital Improvement Program as modifications and upgrades that
will include new furnishings, technology and tenant improvements in both conference rooms 2
and 3 to upgrade the facility to current standards for emergency response. The goal is to
modernize and maximize the ability of the operations center to collect, analyze, display and
disseminate information to better conform to the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
Sept. 13, 2022 Item #5 Page 1 of 21
standards. These upgrades will include fixtures, computers, software, network equipment,
communications, lighting and acoustical improvements.
The conference room wing of the Police and Fire Headquarters includes three conference
rooms separated by folding doors, an audio-visual closet, utility room, restrooms, office,
kitchenette and storage room. Currently the only space dedicated for the Emergency
Operations Center is one of the three conference rooms. The other conference rooms, office
and storage rooms have been used as break-out rooms for dedicated group use as needed
during emergency response events.
The objective of this project is to combine two of the conference rooms into one for operations
center use. The feasibility of constructing a separate, elevated space for the policy group in one
of the conference rooms, or the storage room, will help determine which other spaces should
be considered for use as break-out rooms. A key technology objective is to establish voice and
data communication interconnectivity among the operations center and remaining conference
room, break-out rooms, City Hall, police watch commander’s office, police dispatch, Utilities
Department Operations Center, Faraday Administration Center and a mobile command post.
Staff issued a request for proposals to prepare the design plans and specifications for the
reconfiguration project on June 1, 2022. These plans and specifications will be used to solicit
bids for construction.
On July 20, 2022, staff received four proposals, which were subsequently distributed to an
evaluation committee consisting of Information Technology, Fire Administration and Public
Works staff. The group ranked the proposals according following the best-value selection
criteria published in the RFP and as provided in CMC Sections 3.28.050 (D)(2) and 3.28.060(D).
The committee determined that Sillman Wright offered the best value to the city and was the
most qualified firm for this project.
The agreement with Sillman Wright authorizes the City Manager to extend the agreement term
for up to two additional one-year periods.
Options
Staff provide the following options for the City Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt a resolution authorizing execution of a professional services agreement with
Sillman Wright to provide design services for the Emergency Operations Center
Reconfiguration Project in an amount not to exceed $272,640
Pros
• Staff determined that the proposal from Sillman Wright provided the best value
to the city
• Award of the agreement complies with applicable municipal code sections
• Sufficient funding is available for the agreement
• The Emergency Operations Center would be able to function at a higher
efficiency to better serve the community and city departments
Cons
• None identified
2. Do not adopt a resolution authorizing execution of a professional services agreement
with Sillman Wright for the project.
Sept. 13, 2022 Item #5 Page 2 of 21
Pros
•None identified
Cons
•Delays or defers upgrades and optimal use of city resources
•The Emergency Operations Center will continue to function at a lower efficiency
and not up to current emergency standards
Staff recommend Option 1 for the City Council’s approval.
Fiscal Analysis
The project is currently funded from the General Capital Construction and Infrastructure
Replacement and Maintenance funds. No additional funding is being requested at this time;
however, additional funding will be necessary at the time the contract for construction is
awarded. Staff will return to the City Council at that time to request acceptance of bids and
award of the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Emergency Operations Center Reconfiguration Project
Capital Improvement Project No. 4719
Current appropriation $2,358,000
Current expenditures/encumbrances $92,464
Total available funding $2,265,536
Agreement with Sillman Wright $272,640
Estimated construction cost $1,700,000
Estimated soft costs (staff time, testing, inspection) $292,896
Remaining balance $0
Next Steps
Once contract documents are executed and a purchase order is issued, staff will schedule a
project meeting with Sillman Wright to start the design work. When the design is completed,
permitted and ready for bidding, staff expect to return to the City Council in spring 2023 to
request approval of the plans, specifications and contract documents and request authorization
to solicit construction bids.
Environmental Evaluation
The City Planner has determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act, under Guidelines Section 15301(a), which applies to interior or exterior alterations
in existing facilities, such as interior partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances. No
exception to the exemption as set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 applies to this
Project.

EXHIBIT “A”
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Background per RFP22-1843FAC, the city’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is currently
undersized and ill-equipped to meet current emergency response standards for the city. Recent
emergency response events have underscored the need for the city to upgrade its EOC structure,
technology infrastructure and furnishings to accommodate the 45 or more staff that serve the city
in such events. The authorized scope of work in the city’s Capital Improvement Program is stated
as: Emergency Operations Center modifications and upgrades to include furnishings, fixtures,
computers, software, network equipment, communications, lighting and acoustical improvements
to better conform to FEMA standards for a city EOC so as to modernize and maximize the EOC
information, collection, analysis, display and dissemination capabilities to support community and
regional public safety.
The objective of this project is to combine two of the conference rooms into one for dedicated
EOC use, with the understanding that the third conference room, office, storage room and A/V
room would be upgraded as dual-use public safety conference or EOC ‘break-out’ rooms, as
needed. Each of these areas would be renovated to include technology infrastructure as
described above. The feasibility of constructing an elevated policy group space in one of the
conference rooms, or the storage room, will help determine which other spaces should be
considered for use as break-out rooms. A key objective of this project is to establish voice and
data communication interconnectivity between the EOC and dual-use conference room, “break-
out” rooms, City Hall, Police Watch Commander’s Office, Police Dispatch, CMWD Operations
Center, the Faraday Building and a mobile command post. All information technology and A/V
technology must be interoperable to enable full flexibility between any information technology
device and A/V display device. Construction costs could include the creation of an elevated Policy
Group space and /or EOC Management Section space. Unused wall space below video display
wall or EOC space side walls might be upgraded to support drop down bench seating and or
storage space. Explore feasibility and cost of virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) and Cave
Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) like system integration in EOC. Technology power cords
and cables must be covered and unobtrusive so as not to present trip hazards or block field of
view in EOC. Sound abatement is desired for the EOC space.
Project Goals
• Dedicated “purpose-built” EOC space for staff for no less than 45, with state-of-the art
technology infrastructure for use in emergency incidents.
• Dual-use “flexible” space for use by up to 3 simultaneous break-out groups (city staff or
community sector such as business or schools, etc.)
• Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for use of dual-use “flexible” space during non-
emergency time
• Established voice and data communications and A/V display connectivity between EOC
and dual-use break-out rooms, City Hall, Police Watch Commander’s Office, Police
Dispatch, CMWD Operations Center, the Faraday Building and a mobile command post.
• Sound mitigation in EOC.
• Dedicated state-of -the art video display wall in EOC, and additional A/V display monitors
maximizing use of EOC wall surfaces.
• EOC functional furnishings
• Construction and soft costs in line with project budget.
• Design completion in four months, not including city review of interim design development
