subject project consists of the remodeling of the eXlstmg City of Pleasanton Police Department Dispatch Center and its expansion into the existing Records/Clerical area. Work in the dispatch area includes: a new ceiling and lighting, upgraded power and data cabling, updated CCTV electronics, new carpet tile floor and new wall finishes. Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND The Pleasanton Police Department building was constructed in 1983. Since that time, the building has had a number of minor improvements and one major upgrade that constructed a two-story addition on the east side of the building to provide for additional office space, and a single story addition to provide locker room space on the west side of the building. However, there has not been any significant change to the Police Dispatch Center since the original construction of the building in 1983. Through the ensuing years, the number of personnel and equipment supporting the Dispatch Center has increased, resulting in inadequate space to accommodate all dispatch equipment within the Center. As an example, in 1990, the Police Department staffed the Dispatch Center with two dispatchers; however, in recent years, three dispatchers are on duty for the majority of the 24-hour workday, with peak periods requiring one or two additional dispatchers. Additionally, one dispatch position is located outside the Dispatch Center in the records bay. This position responds to 911 telephone calls, and both emergency and non-emergency telephone calls, without having direct line-of-sight communication with the other dispatchers. This position is also susceptible to increased noise levels from the normal operations of the records center. To address this situation, in FY 2001-02, the Council approved CIP project 018047 to provide $200,000 in funding for the remodel of the Police Dispatch Center and improved evidence storage. BIDS/PROJECT SCHEDULE Sealed bids were opened on August 30, 2006, with a total of three bids received (see Bid Summary below), ranging from $124,986 to $207,700, compared to the Engineer's Estimate of $120,000. The low bid of $124,986 was received from CBC Construction of Pleasanton. Since the low bid (base bid) was very close to the Engineer's Estimate for the project, staff recommends the inclusion of Add Alternate #1 in the award, which is a lighting upgrade to the Records Clerical Room. Staff recommends awarding the contract to CBC Construction, along with alternate No.1, for a total bid amount of $130,360. SR 06:224 Page 2 of 4
