Pursuant to these collective agreements, Santa Ana, which is a "cash contract city", provides OCFA $15,000 per station per year for needed repairs. In addition, the JPA provides that Santa Ana is responsible for all capital improvements for the stations, which is defined within the JPA as any repair exceeding $15,000. Per the Lease, OCFA's obligations include providing fire suppression and emergency services for the city. OCFA and city staff conduct routine monthly meetings to discuss, among other things, repairs and capital improvements necessary to ensure OCFA can provide its fire suppression and emergency services for the city in a manner that best ensures the safety of both OCFA personnel and the community. SEC. 2: PURPOSE OF FCA UPDATE OCFA has concluded that it needs an independent third-party evaluation of the conditions of the 10 Santa Ana fire stations that is current and more extensive than the original 2022 FCA Report. The purpose of the original 2022 FCA Report was for OCFA internal planning and to prioritize needed repairs and capital improvements among the 78 fire stations assessed for the report. However, the purpose of the proposed FCA update is to focus specifically on the Santa Ana stations and will serve as a basis for OCFA and city staff to discuss needed upgrades inclusive of potential costs for their collective budgetary and planning purposes. Because multiple government agencies will review the updated report and potentially make budget-impacting decisions from it, the report necessarily needs to be more extensive, include analysis from multiple experts, and, cost estimates from supportable and verifiable cost estimation sources. Specifically, the updated FCA report will include, but not be limited to, structurallseismic conditions, electrical and plumbing code compliance issues, and cost estimates from licensed contractors for the needed repairs and capital upgrades as recommended by the updated FCA report. The updated FCA report will serve as a detailed planning tool, providing: • A current snapshot of existing physical facility conditions, • Identification and prioritization of major repairs and capital improvement needs; • Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimates to assist in planning expenditures and budgeting; • Assessment of any functional obsolescence and cost-benefit analysis comparing costs of needed capital upgrades for each station versus full station replacement, and; 2
