SUBJECT: -
Release of Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District Development Fee Funds
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the County Auditor-Controller to transfer $260,000 from the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District Development Fee Trust Fund No. 850400 to the City of Walnut Creek for the
construction of the new Fire Station No. 3 in that city.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
On March 7, 1995, your Board authorized the Chair to execute an agreement between the Contra
Costa County Fire Protection District and the City of Walnut Creek for the joint funding and
construction of a new fire station to be constructed by the City of Walnut Creek for the relocation of
Fire Station No. 3 in that city, and further authorized the County Auditor-Controller to transfer
$677,500 from the District's Development Fee Trust Fund to the City to cover the District's estimated
share of the construction cost. It was also understood that, depending on the project's final cost, the
District may have to transfer an additional amount to the City of Walnut Creek.
Recent discussions between the District, the City and the architectural firm of Loving & Campos have
shown the project cost has increased from $1,100,102 in August 1994 to $1,360,102 at the present
time. This represents a cost increase of$260,000 which is due to the following four (4) factors: 1)
increased and extensive earthwork required at the Rossmoor site 2) accommodate building official
requirement for handicapped accessibility to all building spaces 3) market factors between August
1994 and the present and 4) increased contingency for the construction and project reserve.
In view of the cost increase and prior understanding, an additional $260,000 needs to be transferred
to the City of Walnut Creek from the District's Trust Fund. This will bring the District's total project
contribution to $937,500 ($677,500 plus $260,000).
