SUBJECT: CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION FOR THE DAVIS COMPANY TO
PREPARE AN ANALYSIS OF THE FAR EAST COUNTY FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICTS AND THEIR FUTURE NEEDS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator or his designee to execute a contract on behalf of the County
with The Davis Company in an amount not to exceed $37,275 to prepare a review of the far east
county fire protection districts (i.e. Oakley Fire Protection District, East Diablo Fire Protection District,
and Bethel Island Fire Protection District) and an analysis of future fire service needs in the far east
county.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of the contract will be shared by the three fire protection districts.
Background/Reasons for Recommendation:
The County's far east section is a fast growing area and aggressive growth creates greater demand
on fire services. The particular districts where growth is causing concern are: Oakley Fire Protection
District; Bethel Island Fire Protection District, and; East Diablo Fire Protection District. In an attempt
to address these concerns, Supervisor Canciamilla formed an ad-hoc committee to study the issue.
The ad-hoc committee was comprised of two fire commissioners from each of the three fire districts
and was charged with the responsibilities of reviewing current service models, determine if any
synergies existed, and recommend changes where appropriate. This committee was especially
timely, not only because of the aggressive growth, but also because of the recent retirements of the
Oakley and East Diablo Fire Chiefs.
After several meetings, the ad-hoc committee unanimously recommended that the County engage an
outside third-party to study the current configurations of the districts, including a financial and service-
model analysis, determine if some form of consolidation is appropriate, and what resources will be
needed to serve the growing populace.
