COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUIABERe r
FROM: Wayne A. Peterson, Acting Public Works Director
PREPARED BY: David Elliott, Administrative Analys
SUBJECT: Seismic Safety Corrections for Fire ion No. 2
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
By motion:
1) Approve plans and specifications for "Seismic Safety
Corrections to the City of San Luis Obispo Fire Station No.
2 - City Plan No. S-34X"
2) Authorize staff to solicit bids on the construction contract
3) Authorize the CAO to award the construction contract if the
lowest responsible bid is within the engineer's estimate.
DISCUSSION:
An engineering survey conducted by H.J. Degenkolb Associates in
1990 found two possible structural deficiencies in Fire Station
No. 2: 1) inadequate lateral bracing across the front of the
building and 2) lack of anchorage between the roof framing and
the masonry walls. The Degenkolb report concluded that the
station might pose a moderate risk to life safety in a major
earthquake. A thorough structural analysis by Howard F. Stup and
Associates in 1991 confirmed the findings of the Degenkolb report
and proposed a design for corrections based on standards for
Seismic Zone 4 of California Administrative Code Title 24.
Construction plans prepared by Stup and Associates call for 1)
installing a steel frame across the apparatus bay door openings
2) attaching this frame to a new reinforced concrete shell on the
inside of the masonry office wall at the front of the building 3)
removing the existing roof and bottom course of sheathing 4)
installing anchors between the roof framing and masonry walls 5)
replacing the sheathing and 6) installing new roofing. These
corrections should ensure that firefighting equipment and
personnel can respond to emergencies after a major earthquake.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Seismic Safety Corrections project is included in the Capital
Improvement Plan of the 1991/93 Financial Plan on pages E-10 and
E-23. $379, 000 is designated for construction with $90, 000
allocated for Fire Station No. 2 . The engineer's cost estimate
is $71, 000 including contingencies.
At its meeting on June 30, 1992 , the Council decided that this
project should go forward despite impending financial
difficulties. This decision was based on the following criteria:
1) The project improves public safety.
