AGENDA TITLE
Approve an Agreement with Dunbar Architecture for Architectural Design Services for
the Historic Cypress Fire Station in an Amount Not to Exceed $434,880 for a Five-Year
Term (Project No. 22-6023) (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Dunbar Architecture to
develop plans, specifications, final construction documents, and construction support for
the rehabilitation of the Historic Cypress Fire Station in the amount of $394,880 with a
contingency of $40,000, for a total amount not to exceed $434,880, for a five-year term
beginning March 21, 2023 and expiring March 20, 2028, with an option for two, one-
year extensions, subject to non-substantive changes approved by the City Manager and
City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
The Cypress Fire Station, located at 625 South Cypress Avenue was designed by
Frederick M. Eley, built in 1928, and served the Eastside (now Pacific Park) community
as Fire Station #4 from 1928 to 1962. It is a one-story Spanish Colonial revival structure
with exterior stucco walls, clay tile roof, and other architectural features that defines this
style and the building’s character. The single story building has a high vaulted ceiling
that measures approximately 3,500 square feet. It is currently vacant and as a result,
has been subjected to repeated vandalism and squatters. The interior of the building
was recently demolished to wood framing in an effort to eliminate hiding spaces.
On December 21, 2021, the City Council allocated $1,000,000 to rehabilitate the
building. The rehabilitation will include preservation and restoration of the historic
elements of the property. At the City Council meeting on August 16, 2022, it was
decided that the site shall be adaptively reused as a new Police Athletic and Activities
League (PAAL) Center for the community while maintaining and restoring the exterior
integrity of the building. PAAL is an integral community program run by the Santa Ana
Police Department that focuses on building a bond between kids and police officers
through education, fitness and other activities. The program offers tutoring, sports team,
field trips and much more. Additionally, the new PAAL center will also serve senior
citizens.

On December 12, 2022, the Public Works Agency issued Request for Proposals (RFP)
No. 22-095, by which it sought the services of one qualified firm to provide the
architectural design for renovation and adaptive reuse of this historic Cypress Fire
Station. The RFP was advertised on the City’s online bid management and publication
system, with bids due on January 16, 2023. Five proposals were received and
evaluated by a selection committee based on criteria as outlined in the RFP. Listed
below are the responding contractors and their ranking:
Rank Firm Location Average Score
1 Dunbar Architecture Los Angeles, CA 93
2 Donald Krotee Partnership Anaheim, CA 83.25
3 BOA Architecture Long Beach, CA 81.5
4 BFK Architecture + Planning Pasadena, CA 79.25
5 ITZEN Architects Santa Ana, CA 72.5
Staff recommends awarding an agreement (Exhibit 1) to Dunbar Architecture to provide
design services based upon the scope of work and selection criteria outlined in RFP 22-
095. Their proposal demonstrated the firm has the necessary capacity and expertise to
complete the required services. The firm’s rates are reasonable and within industry
standard, the team qualifications are appropriate for this project, and the proposal was
determined to provide the best value for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT
The current fiscal year funding is available in the FY 2022-23 budget and future fiscal

Plan Check & Permits:
Additionally, this project is subject to review and approval by PWA CIP Engineering Division, CSA Planning
& Building Agency (PBA), and the Historic Resources Commission (HRC).
PWA Engineering Divisions will be conducting reviews at concept, 30%, 50%, 90%, and 100% stages.
Plans shall not be submitted to PBA until they are at 100% status.
HRC approval shall be obtained during Concept phase of the project. Consultant shall be responsible for
determining what is needed in the submittal package to obtain HRC approval.
Historic Resources Commission (HRC)
Pursuant to our Historic Ordinance, major exterior modifications to a historic structure requires the approval of
the HRC through a duly noticed public hearing and issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness. Therefore, the
property owner would need to apply for a Historic Exterior Modification Application (HEMA). The cost for
this application is $2,348.83.
Prior to presenting the application to the HRC city staff will ensure that any proposed exterior modifications
are consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for rehabilitation and consistent with our Historic
Ordinance. Staff recommends the proposal identify a historic consultant to provide a compliance statement
ensuring consistency with the standards. This compliance statement would help streamline the review process
and help with staff recommendation for approval.
The timeframe for the HEMA will also vary as we only have four regularly scheduled HRC meetings
throughout the year (January, April, July, and October). It will be important to coordinate this effort proactively
with the Planning department staff to determine the submittal deadline for the next available HRC meeting.
Planning and Building Agency – Plan Check:
Construction drawings shall be in accordance with the 2022 California Building Code (adopted January 1,
2023) and will require review/approval by the City Planning and Building Agency. As a condition of plan
check approval, plans, specifications and structural calculations must be signed by a California licensed
architect / landscape architect /civil engineer/structural engineer as appropriate. Additionally, the architect will
be encouraged to identify their historic consultant to address questions and concerns related to the historical
preservation of the building. Plans shall be organized so that they can be segregated cleanly for distribution to
the various plan checking entities.
Construction drawings shall be submitted at 90% completion for review by Public Works CIP Engineering and
Santa Ana PAAL staff and revised per their comments. The 100% complete construction drawing package will
then be submitted for final City review Planning and Building Agency.
The Public Works Agency Project Manager will coordinate and assist with the submittal and review processes.
Consultant shall revise Contract Documents to reflect all comments and input provided by these divisions.
Consultant shall communicate directly with the Building Department Plan Checker as necessary to address any
questions or request clarifications. Once complete, the consultant will revise the Contract Documents and
provide written responses to all plan check comments and provide with resubmittals.

January 18, 2023
D U N B A R A R C H I T E C T U R E
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN | HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE | INTERIORS
APPROAC H TO P ROJ ECT
Based on the information provided in the Request for Proposal, Response to Questions, and
the Pre-bid site walk on December 21, 2022, we understand the project to consist of a 4,000
rehabilitation project that will renovate the historic Cypress Fire Station (3,500 square feet) and
remove a non-original rear carport addition (500 square feet) on an approximate 8,000 square
foot lot.
The project is located at 625 South Cypress Avenue and was designed in 1928 by Frederick M.
Eley, a prolific and highly regarded architect in early Santa Ana and Orange County history. The
goal of the project is to transform the building and exterior spaces into a new Santa Ana Police
Athletic & Activity League (PAAL) center to serve the community, while restoring the exterior
integrity of the building and maintain its historic register standing.
Anticipated Site Work:
Site work includes grading, asphalt and concrete work around the site, ADA access improvements
at the exterior of the building, fencing and gates, utility connections and related buildouts,
parking area grading and striping, site lighting, EV charging stations, stormwater management
(LID) and site drainage, erosion control, irrigation, and landscaping.
Additionally, we see the site work as an opportunity to engage with and create exciting
placemaking and programming opportunities for the community. By the removal of the existing
and excessive hardscape and the introduction of low maintenance and low water use native
plant landscaping, we believe there is a prospect to create a welcoming and engaging outdoor
space for the community. We feel that even small spaces can provide a place of respite and
occasions for community activities and learning.
Anticipated Building work:
General programming of the building is to include an open community area with a front desk
check-in, two new classroom spaces dedicated for physical recreation and art activities, two
new offices for the Director and Assistant Director, restrooms, and a new Police Substation with
5
workspace and break room. A patio for activities is envisioned for the front (west) exterior
space. Secured enclosure off the rear (east) side of the building that opens onto the existing
alleyway is to provide access to police offices and staff. The city has noted that project will not
be considered an “Essential Services” building.
The exterior of the building, specifically the front and side elevations will be restored to retain
its character defining features. Using the original historic drawings and photos of the original
building, doors and windows will be recreated to return the building to its original exterior.
Interior and exterior lighting will be selected for appropriateness. The clay tile roof, stucco,
and decorative tiling will be cleaned, repaired, and reinstalled to match existing as needed. It
is anticipated that a new built-up roofing system will be required at flat and parapet roof areas.
Interior work will be designed to provide inviting and engaging spaces for users that is modern
but complementary to the historic building. Accessibility, safety, and inclusion will be the driving
factors for interior spaces and finishes.
PROC ESS
Task 1: Pre-Design
Our first step after the initial kick off meeting will be to initiate a site survey, develop a base
level of working architectural drawings from the original building drawings, and determine if
additional information is needed. A meeting with city staff will be held to confirm program-
ming requirements and discuss initial concept design options.
DELIVERABLES:
• A programming and project narrative, including engineering memos of expected scope
for structural, mechanical/ electrical/ plumbing, and civil engineering.
• Base level architectural plans for concept design discussions
• Work task plan and schedule
• Site survey
• Identification of additional material testing and investigative demolition, if necessary
• Identification of applicable codes and standards and coordination of requirements with
appropriate agencies
6
Task 2: Concept Design
After developing three preliminary design concept schemes, a second meeting will be held
with city staff (PWA and PAAL) to review adjacencies, locations, and program adjustments.
The first meeting with the Pacific Park Neighborhood Association will be held to introduce the
design concepts to the group. Feedback from the group will be used to make adjustments to
the design concepts. A Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate narrative will be de-
veloped to establish Rough Order of Magnitude costs for the three design concept options. A
second meeting with the Pacific Park Neighborhood Association will occur to review updates
to the design concepts and determine a preferred direction. A third meeting with city staff will
occur to select the final option. Once the final option is selected, the team will prepare a sub-
mittal package of the selected concept to the Historic Resources Commission.
DELIVERABLES:
• Rendered concept drawings with 5 views for each of the 3 concepts (15 renderings)
• Schematic level plans and elevations for review by the Historic Resources Commission
• ROM Cost Estimate narrative
Task 3: Design Development (50% Package)
The Design Development phase will begin to develop the selected concept design option and
begin the process of engineering and coordination of drawings within the design team. The
selection process of materials, finishes, fixtures, and furnishings will begin at this stage. A meet-
ing with city staff to review the 50% Design Development drawing and specification package
along with an updated Cost Estimate will take place at the end of this phase. If Value-Engi-
neering of the project is requested by the city, Additional Service fees will be submitted for
re-design and re-engineering of the project.
DELIVERABLES:
• 50% DD drawings and specifications
• Outline of Project Manual
• 50% DD Cost Estimate
Task 4: Construction Documents (90%)
We have split Task 4 into two components – completion of the Construction Documents to
90% and Agency Submission through Approvals.
For Task 4.1 Construction Documents, a substantially complete package of drawings, specifica-
tions, and cost estimate updates will be delivered to the city. A final review of the CD Package
will take place with city staff (PWA & PAAL).
DELIVERABLES:
• 90% CD drawings and complete CD specifications
• Updated Cost Estimate based on 90% CD package
• Project Manual with all narratives and reports, including CASp report
7
Task 4.2 Agency Submission through Approvals anticipates two rounds of plan check respons-
es. Once the drawings are reviewed, cleared, and signed by city staff, a final For Construction
Bid Set will be issued with all corrections and bidding instructions included. A Project Manual
will be included with a summary of the work, sample construction schedule and other relevant
information.
DELIVERABLES:
• For Construction Bid Set
• Project Manual with all narratives, instructions, and reports
Task 5: Bidding, Construction Administration, & Close-Out
We anticipate 3 months for General Contractor Bidding on this project and a 12-month Con-
struction period. Our team will provide the support to review Requests for Information and
Submittals, and Architect will attend weekly Owner/Architect/ Contractor (OAC) meetings
during the course of construction. The design team and client will provide a punch list near the
end of construction. Following construction completion, we will work with the General Con-
tractor to provide signed and stamped Record Drawings with all field changes during con-
struction identified and included.
ASSUMPTIONS:
1. The City will contract directly with a Geotechnical Engineer to provide a soils report for
the project if needed. Architect and Structural Engineer can provide consultant recommen-
dations if requested.
2. Fees for a topographic survey are included in this proposal. The following are assumed:
• The City will provide a current title report of the property
• The City will hire a subsurface utility locating company, if needed.
• The site will be accessible and clear of all obstructions at the requested time of survey.
• Lot Tie Agreement and Lot Line Adjustments are not included.
• Legal description(s) and exhibit(s) for dedications/ easements are not included.
• Sufficient survey monumentation will exist at the controlling major intersections and key
locations of the underlying record maps.
• A Record of Survey (boundary survey) to be filed is not included.
• If either of the last two items are required, additional fees will be incurred.
3. The City will contract directly with an Environmental Consultant for CEQA requirements
if required. Architect can provide consultant recommendations if requested.
4. If a Street Improvement Plan is required, additional fees will be incurred by Civil Engineer.
Improvements to the actual vehicular street are not included. Per the RFP, improvements to
the curb will be included.
5. As the interior of the building is open to the structure, it is not anticipated that addi-
tional investigative demolition will be necessary. However, if that changes during the initial
phases of the project, the team will notify the City and make the request in writing with
reasons for the request.
