Public Works Agency www.santa-ana.org/pw Item # 15 City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Staff Report February 17, 2026 TOPIC: Award of a Construction Contract to Construct the Fire Station 71 Fuel Station Replacement Project AGENDA TITLE Award of a Construction Contract to GEMS Environmental Management Services, Inc. to Construct the Fire Station 71 Fuel Station Replacement Project (Project No. 24-6054) (General Fund) RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Capital Improvement Program to include an additional $935,150 in construction funds for the Fire Station 71 Fuel Station Replacement Project (Project No. 24-6054). 2. Approve the Project Cost Analysis for a total estimated construction delivery cost of $935,150, which includes $748,120 for the construction contract, $112,218 for contract administration, inspection, and testing, and $74,812 for unanticipated or unforeseen work. 3. Award a construction contract to GEMS Environmental Management Services, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, in accordance with the base bid in the amount of $748,120, subject to change orders, for construction of the Fire Station 71 Fuel Station Replacement Project (Project No. 24-6054), for a term beginning February 17, 2026 and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract. 4. Determine that, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions are exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. ER-2026-15 will be filed for Project No. 24-6054. GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency (PWA) is responsible for the maintenance and improvement of City facilities, including ten fire stations occupied by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). In coordination with OCFA, staff assessed all Santa Ana fire stations and prioritized repairs and improvements. Construction Contract to Construct the Fire Station 71 Fuel Station Replacement Project February 17, 2026 Page 2 City and OCFA staff identified that the Fire Station 71 underground fuel storage tank at 1029 West 17th Street in Santa Ana was in need of removal and replacement with a new above -ground fuel storage tank (Exhibit 1). Replacement of old subsurface tanks with new above -ground tanks allows for improved maintenance and reduces the potential for leaks that can contaminate the soil. The upgraded fuel system and tanks will meet South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements, with adherence to the most recent fire code related to setbacks and existing structures. The scope of work includes removing the existing 4,000-gallon diesel/gasoline fuel underground storage tank and corresponding dispenser and installing one 2,000-gallon diesel fuel storage tank on engineering reinforced slab, one new dispenser, installing a new diesel exhaust fluid tank, and dispensing system. The upgraded fueling system will comply with applicable fire and environmental regulations and support reliable fueling operations at Fire Station No. 71. Upon completion, the project will reduce environmental risk and improve operational reliability for OCFA emergency response services at this facility. Project Advertisement and Contractor Procurement To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 2,363 regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based. Furthermore, staff specifically reached out to Santa Ana vendors to encourage their participation in bids. A total of four bids were received. Zero bids were received from Santa Ana contractors. The project was advertised in PlanetBids from January 13, 2026 to January 27, 2026. Bids were received electronically via PlanetBids on January 27, 2026. No bid protest was submitted by any of the bidders during the bid protest period. A copy of construction plans, contracts, specifications, and all related reference materials (such as The Greenbook) are available for public review at the City's Public Works Agency, Central Files office located in City Hall.

In addition, GEMS Environmental Management Services, Inc. has completed similar projects for other public agencies, including a diesel tank installation for the East Bay Municipal Utility District and an above -ground storage tank replacement for the City of Pittsburg.

Project Delivery To deliver a complete project, in addition to the construction contract, the estimated total project delivery cost includes a budget allocation for construction administration, inspection, and testing. Construction administration and inspection may be performed by either Staff or consultants and includes construction management, inspection of the Contractor's work to ensure contract compliance, workmanship, and quality, materials testing, and implementation of the labor requirements. Any of the allocated construction administration funds not spent are considered project savings and are returned to the respective fund balance upon close out of the project. As indicated in the Cost Analysis and as summarized in the table below, the estimated total construction delivery cost of the project is $935,150.
