The Guidelines are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and are declared to be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects consist of interior or exterior alterations involving such things as interior partitions, plumbing, and electrical conveyances; therefore, the Fire Station No. 4 Rehabilitation, City Project No. 15-25, is considered categorically exempt from CEQA, and a Notice of Exemption has been prepared and filed with the Riverside County Clerk. A copy of the Notice of Exemption is included as Attachment 3. FISCAL IMPACT: Abatement and rehabilitation of Fire Station No. 4 was an unscheduled capital project, and is currently being funded by the General Fund. As noted in IDC's report, the full cost of rehabilitating Fire Station No. 4 is estimated at $1.2 Million, with the abatement and demolition phase estimated at $110,000. Staff will review and identify alternatives for funding this work for the City Council's consideration at the time a construction contract is presented for its consideration. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize bidding of the Project to obtain final costs, allowing staff to identify funding alternatives for City Council consideration at the time a contract is scheduled for award.

It was built well before current building standards and codes in terms of its structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems, and to continue to serve the community an upgrade of those systems is necessary. Attached are three reports from our consultants describing the elements that are not incompliance with the current California Building Codes (Structural, Mechanical and Electrical and Energy/Green). In addition, certain functional standards for fire stations have also evolved and are not adequately served by the current floor plan. The most evident is the lack of separation of crew quarters for men and women, and the "open dorm" arrangement for sleeping. This can be relatively easily addressed by converting the "Captain's Quarters" into female quarters, and constructing partitions within the dorm room. Furthermore, the "back-of- house" elements related to personal laundry and turnout gear cleaning need to be updated. The recommended process, probable time frame and costs are summarized below and expanded upon in the attachments. PROCESS I. Contract with a licensed abatement contractor to essentially gut the interiors (remove all drywall, all existing ductwork, and insulation.) 2. Document the "as-built" conditions. 3. Design the upgrade/remodel and prepare Construction Documents. 4. Contract for construction. S. Re-occupy the station.

The elapsed time for abatement, as-builts, design/construction document preparation will be approximately one year. 2. Permitting, contract negotiations and construction will be approximately one year. 3. Move-in will be approximately September 2017. COSTS I. Construction costs will be approximately one million dollars. 2. Soft costs (design, testing and construction administration) will be approximately $200,000.
