Summary Construct a 2,100 sf addition to the existing Public Safety Building. 1,050 sf - 1st floor will be used for the communication center expansion & 1,050 sf - 2nd floor will be used for other police functions. Project is backup to Project No. 2014.0481 Description The existing Public Safety communications center must be expanded to provide sufficient services for present and future needs. Expanding technology, workspace ergonomics, accessibility and increased staffing to receive & process land line plus cellular 911 calls are critical reasons that additional space is required. Design and construct a 1,050 SF footprint add-on to the south side of the existing building. To receive increased cost-benefit, the add-on will be a 2-storey building also providing additional (1,050 SF) floor space at the second story level for use by the Investigation Section. Main Features include: • The design phase will verify the feasibility of the suggested expansion location; and will also determine the relocation of the communication center and other adjacent services within the new (expanded) ground floor layout • The communication center will remain operational throughout the construction period • The new Communication Center will house seven console workstations and an adjacent kitchenette area • Existing consoles; computers; monitors and communication equipment will be reused and relocated into the new space • Server equipment will remain in its current location • Stand alone HVAC equipment for the added space will be provided • Internet and communications set-ups for add-on building • An upgrade of the electrical service will be required if it is determined that the existing service is at capacity • Additional phones, office furniture, and miscellaneous new equipment • If the existing dispatch area is be vacated, this scope does not include any improvements to that area Justification or Benefit of Project Receiving and processing Emergency 911 calls in a timely manner is essential in protecting public safety, coping with emergencies and potential disasters, and providing law enforcement for the benefit of residents and visitors in the San Leandro area. Also, it will allow for managing live video feeds and the potential for incorporating 21st Century technologies, such as remotely controlled apparatus and monitoring and a control center for portable airborne devices. Safety is an essential service to the public, and local funding provides the highest quality and most efficient service. The expanded facility will provide more efficient service to the area and will also reduce response time. This expansion will assist the police in protecting public safety, coping with disasters, providing proactive community policing and resolving the contemporary law enforcement problems of gang violence, drugs, and the more sophisticated use of weapons and computer technology in crime. It will also be built using green building materials and products, and will conserve energy. It will provide a work environment that has good ergonomics and will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. It will also provide/enhance zoned access control, intrusion detection and A/V monitoring with recording capability. Consequences of not doing the Project Without this project, we will not be able to take advantage of technological advancements in law enforcement. Our inability to pin point locations of 911 callers could cause delays in response times. Our inability to receive texts or photos on 911 could also impact response times (deaf community, etc.). Our work environment will continue to be out of date with current needs.
