PURPOSE OF THE P R O J E C T
Background/History.
The Shasta-Trinity Unit Headquarters
The Shasta-Trinity Unit Headquarters (SHU UHQ) is located on state-owned property in the City of Redding in Shasta County. Through a cooperative agreement with Shasta County, the SHU UHQ's also serves as the Shasta County Fire Department Headquarters. The SHU UHQ is located at a major crossroad in Northern California, with Interstate 5 and State Highways 299 and 44 bisecting Shasta County. The SHU UHQ's sphere of influence within the Federal, State, and Local Government agencies has far reaching influences beyond that of the average CAL FIRE Unit. The SHU UHQ interfaces with two national forests, two national parks, a California State Park District, the Bureau of Land Management-Area Office, the Bureau of Reclamation-Shasta Dam, and numerous local government fire departments and districts. The SHU UHQ is a key participant in the Regional Shasta Cascade Hazardous Materials Response Team (SCHMRT) for the seven northern counties in California, as one of the agencies signatory to a multi-agency agreement to provide the personnel for the team.
In the past fifteen years, the SHU UHQ deployed Incident Management Teams to the Jones Fire (26,202 acres; 954 structures), Shasta Command (21,750 acres). Canyon (2580 acres; 230 structures), Qregon (1680 acres; 33 structures). Bear (10,848 acres; 86 structures), French (13,005 acres; 30 structures). Junction (3126 acres; 1 structure), 2008 SHU Lightning Complex (86,500 acres; 22 structures), and the 2009 SHU Lightning Complex (14,804 acres; 40 separate fires), 2012 Dale (1200 acres). Power (248 acres timber; 4 residential), 2013 Clover (8,073 acres; 68 residential, 128 out buildings), 2014 Bully (12,661 acres; 20 residential). Bald (39,736 acres), Elier (32,000 acres; 8 residential and 2 commercial), Oregon (580 acres). Gulch (1,300 acres; 4 residential), 2015 Trinity Complex.
The facility, built around 1940, consists of an administrative office building, joint-agency CAL FIRE/United States Forest Service (USFS) Emergency Command Center (ECC), mobile equipment maintenance and repair shop, service center warehouse, SHU UHQ training office, and OES telecommunications repair shop. Today, over 50 personnel are assigned to the various SHU UHQ functions.
The administrative office building houses the SHU UHQ's Training Office, Fire Prevention Bureau and State Fire Marshal, Resource Management, Vegetation Management, field Battalion Chiefs, and administrative and clerical personnel.
The Training Office provides year round mandated training for 159 seasonal and 149 permanent fire personnel, 12 resource management personnel, 260 inmate firefighters and 300 volunteer firefighters. This challenging function is mission critical to maintain highly trained professional personnel to meet the needs of all-risk emergency management operations.
The Fire Prevention Bureau and State Fire Marshal, staffed by 7 personnel on a year-round basis, is the key element in the fire planning, investigation, litigation, and law enforcement efforts within the SHU UHQ. These peace officers require secure evidence storage space, law library, firearms and ammunition storage, and specialized equipment lockers for sensitive law enforcement equipment.
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 2 of 22
Also required are office space, workroom, and materials storage space for volunteers assigned under the Volunteers-ln-Prevention (VIP) program.
The various Resource Management Programs, including Forest Practice Enforcement and the LaTour Demonstration State Forest, provide continuous contact with private companies and the general public. These programs require public meetings for review and access to State environmental documents such as Timber Harvesting Plans and Environmental Impact Reports in order to comply with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This access, mandated by State Legislation, has specific time frames for public review and comment.
The Vegetation Management Program provides landowner assistance with fuel reduction projects. The program manager coordinates fuel reduction projects with Fire Safe Counsels, communities, and public agencies throughout the SHU UHQ.
The Service Center provides the necessary daily support and supplies for all SHU UHQ programs and personnel. During periods of emergency activity, the service center operates on a 24-hour basis, storing emergency supplies required for the SHU UHQ's all-risk mission. Heavy truck and forklift access is essential for daily operations.
The administration building provides office space for three field Battalion Chiefs to conduct their administrative duties and program responsibilities. These responsibilities include emergency medical services coordination, safety, equipment coordination and testing, scheduling, and grant administration.
The ECC is a dispatch center coordinating over 13,000 emergency incidents and providing emergency 911 backups for all of Shasta County and Eastern Trinity County. In the last ten years, the number of emergency incidents the ECC coordinates has doubled. The ECC also provides emergency dispatch and communications services to the Shasta County Fire Department's 19 fire companies and nine Shasta County special/fire districts. Six computer consoles are set-up exclusively for expanded emergency operations which is required to accommodate management of major emergency operations that extend beyond normal initial attack capabilities. During major fire sieges, there can be up to sixteen individuals assigned to the joint CAL FIRE/USFS expanded ECC operations center.
The mobile equipment maintenance and repair shop provides fleet management for 25 fire engines, 50 light utility vehicles, a 35-foot mobile command unit (MCC), a 35-foot mobile kitchen unit (MKU) and support trailer, three heavy transports, three dozers, fourteen 17-person Emergency Crew Transport vehicles (ECT), and 34 miscellaneous support vehicles.
The OES telecommunications repair shop provides for the installation, maintenance, and repair of communication systems for all California state agencies (CAL FIRE, CHP, Caltrans, etc.). The facility provides office and bench workspace for four telecommunications technicians, mobile equipment repair bays, a radio equipment vault, and microwave communication tower. This function is critical to meeting the State's public safety responsibilities.
The CAL FIRE Northern Region Operations - Redding (NOPS)
The NOPS site includes the CAL FIRE Northern Region HQ - Redding (CNR HQ) functions. Redding Fire Station, Redding Air Attack Base and the Operational Command Center (OCC) both of which are jointly operated with the USFS. The components of CNR HQ include several administration divisions.
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 3 of 22
Technical Services, Telecommunications and Training facilities. This COBCP addresses the relocation of the CNR HQ functions of NOPS. The Redding Fire Station (Fire Station #43), the OCC and Air Attack base will remain at their current location. The OCC is a joint operation with the USFS and the collocation is operationally efficient, the Redding Fire station is on Federally owned land but was built in 1982 and the condition of the building does not warrant relocation and the Air Attack Base (also co-located with the USFS) needs to be located where it is, at the Redding airport.
The current administration building is owned by the United States Forest Service (USFS). Maintenance costs are however shared by CAL FIRE and the USFS. Built in 1982, the facility houses Region Administration and Management Services Staff, Resource Management, SRA Fire Prevention Fee, Land Use & Planning, Training and Safety, State Forest Program and Cost Recovery and Law Enforcement and provides office space for over 40 personnel. Due to lack of space, the Cost Recovery and Law enforcement function is located off-site at a leased facility.
Region administration and management services include the Regional Executive staff that provide Region and program direction. Management services include employee support services such as workman compensation and employee rights. Region Fleet administration oversees the Region fleet and provides coordination with Davis Mobile Equipment.
Northern Region Resource Management Programs consists of the Redding Review Team, Forest Practice Enforcement, Archaeology, Pest Management, Vegetation Management, and Forestry Assistance. NOPS houses fifteen (15) personnel to administer the program for Northern Region. The Redding Review Team processes all documents for interior Northern California related to the Forest Practice Program and compliance with the Zberg Nejedly Forest Practice Act, Board of Forestry and Fire Protection Rules, and CEQA. This requires coordination with other State and Federal agencies, timberland owners, professional foresters, and the public. Review and access to State environmental documents such as Timber Harvesting Plans and Environmental Impact Reports to comply with CEQA is mandated by State Legislation and has specific time frames for public review and comment. As part of the Forest Practice Enforcement program. Northern Region houses the Region Law Enforcement Coordinator and Program LE Coordinator and provides office space for the Program Manager, Assistant Deputy Director for Resource Management, Forest Practice.
The Archaeology program is part of the Departments Environmental Protection Program which provides CEQA review and compliance for not only Forest Practice documents but all CEQA documents for Departmental projects. The Vegetation Management Program (VMP) reviews and processes all VMP projects for Northern Region and provides landowner assistance regarding fuel reduction projects. The program manager coordinates with Unit staff on both VMP but also Federal and State grant funded fuel reduction programs and projects. Collectively, NOPS houses two (2) personnel to administer these programs.
Pest Management coordinates with Units and Federal and State Agencies regarding current and emerging forest pest related problems. The program provides advice and assistance to Unit staff as well as private forest landowners throughout the Region. Forestry Assistance provides assistance and advice to private timberland owners on the California Forest Improvement Program (CFIP) and various Federal cost share programs administered by CAL FIRE such as Forest Legacy and the Forest Stewardship program. Collectively, NOPS houses two (2) personnel to administer these programs.
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 4 of 22
The Watershed Protection Program (WPP) provides technical support to Sacramento Headquarters, Region, and Units on matters related to hydrologic and biological resources. These services are routinely utilized in Forest Practice settings, for Unit-related CEQA assessment, and for applied research on Demonstration State Forest. The WPP currently employs two forest hydrologists and a forest practice biologist.
The State Forest Program Manager coordinates with the Units that contain our eight Demonstration State Forest to help allocate funding needs, contract development and support forest planning. In addition, this program also seeks additional possible ground to include as a State Forest for future multi-purpose uses such as timber harvesting, recreation, research, etc.
The SRA Fire Prevention Fee began in 2012 and is administered under the State Fire Marshal. NOPS houses five (5) personnel to administer the program for Northern Region. Program staff provides information and support to Units, reviews appeals from the public on the fee, and administers grant funds. Staff also assists with SRA designation and review. Pre-fire Engineering coordinates with the Units in the Region with annual Fire Plan updates. The program also performs SRA and DPA review. State Fire Plan updates, and Strategic plan updates. The Land Use and Planning Program works with Counties in the Northern Region to comply with SB 1241 & Gov. Code Section 65302(g)(3) in SRA and areas designated as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones in LRA. In addition, OSFM would include office space for two deputies and one supervisor to handle field review from the Fire Marshal office in Sacramento.
The Cost Recovery and Law Enforcement Branch provide for cost recovery on reimbursable incidents within the Region and oversee all law enforcement related issues in the Region. Currently, the NOPS has no additional space to accommodate the program in the administrative building. A temporary solution is a short-term lease of 3,000 sf of off-site commercial office space. The proposed Northern Region Headquarters Facility would accommodate this program and allow the projected annual rent to be redirected or reallocated.
PROBLEM
Shasta Trinity Unit Headquarters
The existing facility is located on a 3.88-acre state-owned parcel in downtown Redding. When the facility was constructed around 1940, the facility was located on the fringes of Redding city limits; today. Redding is the largest city north of Sacramento. The city limits are several miles in all directions from the facility, placing the facility at the center of the city. This requires personnel to negotiate fire apparatus through narrow and congested city streets to conduct daily and emergency activities, extending response time and increasing the potential for vehicle accidents.
The City owns all the property surrounding the existing facility. In 2015, the City of Redding completed construction of the new Redding Police Department Headquarters directly adjacent to SHU Headquarters on the east property line and in 2009 completed construction of a new library adjacent to the western property line. In addition, in 1999, the City constructed a new City Hall adjacent to the eastern property line. Construction of the city hall and police headquarters restricted access to the facility from the main thorough fare. Cypress Avenue, and required access to and from the facility via a surface street. Grape Street. This dramatically handicaps the movement of fire apparatus and
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 5 of 22
equipment to and from the facility. The Unit's all-risk emergency operations mission is in direct conflict with Redding's General Plan.
Senate Bill (SB) 178, chaptered on October 11, 2009, authorized the Director of General Services to sell, exchange, or lease the existing 3.88-acre state owned parcel, and requires the director to use the proceeds to relocate the Shasta-Trinity Unit Headquarters to a suitable site. The bill also requires the state to retain ownership of the portion of the Cypress Property where the telecommunications tower and the vault are located. The City has expressed interest in purchasing the property for the planned expansion of its facilities.
The buildings built around 1940 are deteriorated, inefficient, and significantly inadequate for the critical mission of the Unit. Over the years, numerous additions and remodeling projects have been implemented to keep pace with CAL FIRE's evolving mission; however, the facility does not meet the needs of the Unit. Many of the old buildings are non-insulated metal structures that do not meet current building codes and do not provide proper restroom facilities for personnel.
Electrical, sewer, water, heating, and cooling systems are antiquated and failing. Due to the increased power usage from electronic equipment such as radios, computers, copiers, and printers, the electrical load at the facility is at full capacity and repairs are constant. Sewer systems back up regularly due to inadequate sewer capacity, and the public and compound parking areas flood during rainstorm events due to inadequate storm drain capacity. Due to their age, the domestic water delivery pipes are brittle and break often and when this occurs the entire water supply to the facility must be shut off while repairs are made. The cooling and heating systems are inefficient, antiquated and costly to operate.
The facility is not Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. Ramps and a bell have been installed at the main public entrance to assist the handicapped. The bell alerts staff that a handicapped person needs assistance entering the buildings. There are no ADA restrooms.
Security of the facility is a significant issue. The location of the facility is exposed to two public parks and the transient population is problematic in the area. The Headquarters compound and its vehicles have been burglarized on several occasions and LE interaction with the transient population is frequent. A rescue mission is located within a mile and half of the facility and Grape Street is used as a transient walkway to the mission.
The administrative office building does not provide the needed space for all the unit functions such as administrative staff, resource management and fire prevention. There is currently sharing of office space by multiple functions. The unit training office is located outside the administration building in a converted storage facility that does not meet building code requirements. There is no training room and inadequate storage. The Prevention office is additionally located outside the administration building in office space constructed in the Units Service Center. The Prevention Office does not have adequate evidence and secure weapon storage. Heating and cooling is inefficient and inadequate in all the office spaces. The heating and cooling system in the Administration building is the result of the combination of three separate systems. The separate systems result in uneven temperature control throughout the building that has impacted employee health. The entire facility is deteriorating due to its age, wood components, old piping and electrical throughout. Upkeep and repairs are constant with a fiscal impact yearly.
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 6 of 22
The mobile equipment maintenance and repair shop is located in a non-insulated corrugated metal building that has been repeatedly identified in semi-annual facility safety inspections as being a health and safety risk. During the winter months, the vehicle hoist lifting cylinders are submerged in standing water due to an elevated water table. The antiquated electrical system does not meet National Electrical or Uniform Building Codes. The roll-up service doors are extremely narrow for modern fire engines and other specialized apparatus. These deficiencies create significant safety problems for personnel conducting routine maintenance and repair work on vehicles. The auto shop restroom is inadequate for assigned personnel and does not meet the Uniform Plumbing Code or ADA requirements. Due to the antiquated plumbing, CAL-OSHA required emergency drench shower cannot be installed. The general health and safety problems associated with an auto shop of this vintage are a significant liability to the State and to the health and safety of staff who must work in this shop.
The Unit Service Center is approximately 5,000 square feet and half the needed storage for the Unit. The Service Center has inadequate lighting and electrical systems, plumbing, and heating and cooling. Additionally, it is on a three-foot raised foundation which makes movement of supplies and material difficult and unsafe.
The OES telecommunications repair shop provides inadequate office and vehicle repair space. The repair shop is not adequately heated and cooled and has inadequate storage. Because of the condition of the building the OES Telecommunication Technicians have relocated into a leased facility until they can relocate with CAL FIRE in a new facility.
The Northern Region Operations - Redding
The Northern Region Operations-Redding (NOPS) site is owned by the United States Forest Service (USFS). Built in 1982, the facility was originally the Region II, Sierra Cascade Region Headquarters. Although a joint facility, CAL FIRE occupies approximately % of the Administration building with the US Forest Service occupying the rest of the building. Due to its age the facility needs significant repairs to provide for health and safety requirements of employees. Currently, the heating and cooling system needs replacement. The HVAC system was not modified with various remodeling of the interior of the building. As a result, differential heating and cooling occurs throughout the building and it is impossible to establish uniform temperatures in all the offices. Offices are either very cold or warm impacting employee health. CAL FIRE funds and provides for repairs to the facility and a new heating and cooling system is more than $1 million (for Cal Fire side only est. $600,000).
Since 1982 CAL FIRE programs housed at NOPS have greatly expanded. The Resource Management Program including Forest Practice, State Forest, SRA Fire Prevention Fee, Land Use & Planning and Pre-Fire Engineering are new programs. These programs and Cost Recovery have all added personnel which require office space and parking for both state and personally owned vehicles at NOPS.
In 1982 the Forest Practice Redding Review Team consisted of four people which included a Forester III, Forester II, and two office staff while timber harvesting plans were approximately 15 pages. Today, the staff consists of a Forester III, (4) Forester II, (1) Forester I, Senior Archaeologist, (3) Geologists, Biologist, Hydrologist and (3) Program Technicians. The average timber harvesting plan now is 200-300 pages requiring much more time to review and process. These positions all require office space
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 7 of 22
and harvest document replication and storage requires significant space. None of these space requirements were accounted for in 1982.
The Cost Recovery and Law Enforcement Branch (LE) is currently housed at a leased facility due to lack of sufficient office space at NOPS. With the approval of the Cost Recovery program a total of 20 (plus 3 RA for background investigation) personnel are now assigned to this branch. Cost Recovery also needs a large file room for records and an equipment storage room for LE equipment. There needs to be a separate T-1 line ran (outside the Cal Fire network) to hookup to the Dept. of Justice for our CLETS access. Additional office space is requested for the Cost Recovery assigned attorney and a single work space to be shared by the 3 retired annuitants that do background investigations. The temporary solution is the short-term lease of 3,000 sf of off-site commercial office space to move the program as a unit at a cost of almost $50,000 annually in rent. The proposed Northern Region Headquarters Facility would accommodate this program and allow the projected annual rent to be redirected or reallocated.
The SRA Fire Prevention Fee, Pre-fire Engineering and Land Use & Planning have also added positions at NOPS. The Region Pre-Fire Engineer was added to the staff at NOPS in 1994. This position requires extra space to house computer hardware such as plotters to perform the function of the position. With the passage of AB x129 the SRA Fee Program was created along with the personnel to manage the program. Although a State Fire Marshal administered program, four personnel are housed at NOPS to manage the program in Northern Region. These include the Northern Region Program Manager and three support staff. Likewise, the Land Use & Planning is administered by the State Fire Marshal's Office; however, one employee is housed at NOPS. In addition, OSFM would include office space for two deputies and one supervisor to handle field review from the Fire Marshal office in Sacramento.
The Northern Region Traininq Program (NRTP)
The NRTP is responsible for in-service training of uniformed personnel of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. All CAL FIRE fire apparatus engineers must go through training administered and coordinated by the Joint Apprentice Committee (JAC) before becoming fire captains. There is no Northern Region training facility capable of meeting the assessed need for coordinating, scheduling, sponsoring, or presenting thousands of annual student days of mandated training for Fire Protection and all other departmental programs and functions necessary for CAL FIRE to comply with the Mission Statement and Strategic Objectives.
Currently, NRTP provides training for JAC employees to assist each administrative unit with the labor, equipment, and cadre demands for this element of training. The NRTP coordinates and schedules training in Incident Command, Leadership and Supervision, as well as field operational training such as chainsaw operations, firing methods, and a wide variety of ICS training for lower level ICS positions. Training responsibilities delegated to the Region also include administrative function training and interagency coordinated training, all of which require additional training facility and classroom access. Federal training facilities in the Northern Region are operating at maximum capability and are unable to fully meet training classroom or simulation classroom for interagency partners such as CAL FIRE.
Since 1995, NRTP responsibility has grown from 325 student training days to an assessed need of over 6,250 student days in 2012 with a peak need of 9000 days in 2008. The demand is increasing
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 8 of 22
due to new and additional statutes, standards, legislative mandates, safety regulation and Departmental policy. This ever-increasing demand creates the need for Region facilities and classrooms capable of utilizing state of the art training adjuncts to develop productive, professional employees to meet the mandates of today and into the future.
CAL FIRE'S NRTP coordinates 119 classes for student participation in the Northern Region alone and sponsors 79 classes directly. To meet the need for classroom space, a mixed bag of facilities is utilized. NRTP's used the Magalia Training Center (MTC) until that was turned over to the California Conservation Core in 2016. This facility provided space for many of the scheduled classes (feeding and lodging provided for students and cadre), but the center's capability was maxed out.
The Region is now utilizing the Units for classroom space for off-site classes. Inherent with most off-site scheduled classes is increased cost including student and cadre travel/per diem (at over one million dollars/year), additional AV equipment needs, IT consideration, specialized classroom furniture, and utilities to support the classroom or facility. Access to off-site training facilities is limited by operational use and severely limited in spring, summer, and fall.
Paramount to assuring continuity of trained emergency responders, meeting operational and statutory requirements for the CAL FIRE mission and contractual and administrative training needs, is providing a cost effective, state of the art, year around, all weather training facility that provides a centralized classroom complex with housing and feeding capability to support Region and Unit training needs for students, cadre, and staff, thereby helping to ensure organizational excellence in CAL FIRE employees.
A centralized, year-around Northern Region Training complex capable of servicing four classes simultaneously, including housing, feeding, and administrative capability could be developed for use in a cooperative or interagency manner to further foster cooperation. Multi-discipline state and federal agencies and colleges could participate in on-going funding (possible grants/use fees) for maintaining
. and use of a Regional Training Center in a coordinated, cost-effective manner that would help support a modern complex to meet CAL FIRE's requirements in the future. The complex would avoid one million dollars per year in CAL FIRE per diem and tuition costs.
A Regional Training Center would also provide added value to CAL FIRE and interagency cooperators during major emergency incident operations. Classrooms and administrative offices, feeding, and housing could be made available to support a Northern Region Geographic Area Coordination Center MAC Group, could serve as an Incident Command Post, a location for a Joint Information Center, an Intel function, a Remote Sensing Operation, or a Media Center. The facility could also serve as a meeting location fpr large forums which is lacking in Redding.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN
This project relates to the following goals in the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection 2012 Strategic Plan:
Goal: Seek to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness by shaping, enhancing, and adapting to changing circumstances.
Objective: Develop and implement a strategy to reduce CAL FIRE's $2.4 billion Capital Outlay replacement backlog of facilities that have an average age in excess of 45 years by 40% by 2022.

ALTERNATIVES
1. Relocate the Unit and NOPS Programs to a co-located facility
Acquire a suitable 15-20-acre site upon which to design and construct a new combined facility of SHU Unit Headquarters, NOPS functions and a Regional Training Center.
Advantages:
• A new co-located facility will support CAL FIRE's goal to be an
efficient, effective, quality organization with the resources
necessary to carry out the Department's Mission. By combining
functions of NOPS with SHU HQ's there is a great economy of
scale regarding replicated facilities. By combining facilities site
and utility development, pavement, physical training rooms,
weapon and evidence storage, and public parking are shared
greatly reducing cost of construction. Additionally, future power,
gas, and water usage is reduced by co-locating facilities meeting
the Governors Executive Order B-18-12 to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 10% by 2015 and 20% by 2020, reduce overall water
use by 10% by 2015 and 20% by 2020, and reduce grid-based
energy purchases and other non-building, grid-based retail energy
purchases by 20% by 2018.
• A new facility located away from congested intercity traffic activities will enable the Unit to dispatch resources more efficiently.
• A new site will provide the acreage necessary to construct a modern facility that meets current and anticipated mission needs, as well as all health, safety, and code requirements.
• A new facility will enhance the Unit's ability to respond to an evolving and facility mission.
• A new facility will place all administrative functions of the Unit under one roof. Currently, training, fire prevention, and other support services are spread throughout the existing facility, resulting in functional isolation and inefficiencies.
• A new facility will enable CAL FIRE to effectively partner with other agencies and the private sector to accomplish Fire Protection and Resource Management objectives by providing adequate parking space, public areas, training rooms, meeting rooms, dispatching functions and emergency vehicle parking.
• A suitable site has been located across the highway from the existing NOPS site and advanced preparations have been made, including passing legislation, to allow a mutually beneficial land
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 10 of 22
exchange with the City of Redding, (see Background section above for additional details).
Disadvantages:
There is a high initial capital outlay cost.
2. Lease/Purchase This alternative is to lease/purchase an existing building or property a new site upon that meets the needs of a combined facility per project description, which to relocate Negotiate an agreement whereby the seller remodels the building(s) the Unit and to Unit and Region specifications, and/or, constructs buildings and NOPS Programs improvements required for operations. Operations are to include
administrative offices and meeting rooms, emergency command center, service center/warehouse, covered parking. Regional Training Center, generator building with generators, and communications vault and tower on the property.

• A modern, new facility located away from congested intercity traffic and activities will enable the Unit to dispatch resources more efficiently.
• A lease/purchase transaction allows for Lease Revenue Bond financing of the entire project.
• The proposed new site provides the space and acreage necessary to construct a modern facility that meets current and anticipated mission needs, as well as all health, safety, and code requirements.
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 11 of 22
• The proposed new site will enhance the Unit's ability to respond to an evolving facility mission.
• The proposed new site will place all administrative functions of the Unit within one facility. Currently, training, fire prevention, and other support services are not co-located, resulting in functional isolation and inefficiencies.
• The Unit's all-risk emergency operations are in direct conflict with Redding's General Plan.
• Sale of the existing site to the City of Redding will offset the cost of the proposed new site.
• A modern, new facility will support CAL FIRE's goal is to be an efficient, effective, quality organization with the resources necessary to carry out the Department's Mission, a goal that is difficult to accomplish in deteriorated, outdated, and undersized buildings that were erected before World War II.
• A modern, new facility will enable CAL FIRE to effectively partner with other agencies and the private sector to accomplish Fire Protection and Resource Management objectives by providing adequate parking space, public areas, training rooms, meeting rooms, dispatching functions and emergency vehicle parking.
Disadvantages:
State government negotiation and purchasing processes may not occur in a timely basis and can be subject to untimely delays. Sellers may not be interested in taking properties off the market for an extended period for negotiation purposes without some sort of deposit or compensation. Unsecured sites for consideration may be sold before binding agreements with the state are completed.
Advantages:
There are no advantages associated with this alternative.
Disadvantages: • The energy savings in relation to Executive Order B-18-12 would
be greatly reduced. • The economy of scale with co-located structures would be
eliminated. • The present sites are too small for present and planned future
expansion. • The existing buildings of SHU HQ's were constructed in 1938 and
have exceeded their useful life. • The existing Unit facility is located in the heart of a large town, the
wrong location for an emergency response facility.
3. Renovate the existing Unit and NQPS Administration building
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 12 of 22
• The existing buildings do not meet current building safety and other regulatory laws and it would be costly to upgrade them to code.
• Renovating the existing buildings would require temporary relocation of some of Unit's and Region functions, causing a significant disruption to essential services and emergency response.
RECOMMENDED SOLUTION:
1) W H I C H ALTERNATIVE AND WHY:
The recommended solution is Alternative #1 . This alternative would allow CAL FIRE to operate this key facility in a safe and efficient manner. A modern Unit Headquarters facility that includes Region functions will improve CAL FIRE's ability to efficiently dispatch resources, service and maintain the Unit's automotive fleet more effectively and competently, supports the Unit's stations and emergency incidents now and in the future. A new facility will enhance the Unit's response to an evolving and complex mission. In addition, by combining Region functions there are significant savings to the State both in construction and future maintenance and operational costs. Compliance with Governors Executive Order B-18-12 would be greatly enhanced with a co-located facility.
Fuels loading on SRA (State Responsibility Area) in the Unit are dangerously high as evidenced by the large number of major fires. In the past 15 years, an Incident Management Team was deployed to the Jones Fire (26,202 acres; 954 structures), Shasta Command (21,750 acres). Canyon (2580 acres; 230 structures), Oregon (1680 acres; 33 structures). Bear (10,848 acres; 86 structures), French (13,005 acres; 30 structures). Junction (3126 acres; 1 structure), 2008 SHU Lightning Complex (86,500 acres; 22 structures), and 2009 SHU Lightning Complex (14,804 acres; 40 separate fires), 2013 Clover (8,073), 2014 Bully (12,661 acres), Eiler (32,000 acres), 2015 (Fork Complex). With a growing population at the crossroads of development, the Shasta-Trinity Unit must improve its infrastructure to meet the current and expected growth and the inevitable fire protection challenges associated with increased risk. CAL FIRE must grow and shift to meet the evolving emergency services needs of this unique area.
A new facility will place all administrative functions of the Unit under one roof and remove replicated CAL FIRE facilities in Redding. A Northern Region Training facility will not only provide greatly needed training and meeting rooms but also a location to house students and staged resources during increased incident activity. Currently in SHU HO's, training, fire prevention, and other support services are spread throughout the existing facility, resulting in functional isolation and inefficiencies. Resource Management programs cannot be implemented because of space limitations and inadequate public access to Unit records and resources.
A new facility will eliminate the current cost of leasing out buildings to house the classes for Training ($1.847 million per year). Telecommunications, Cost Recovery and Law enforcement ($50,000 per year) programs. The sharing of the facilities like the mechanical, evidence vault, physical fitness, telecommunications is also cost efficient.
A new facility will enable CAL FIRE to effectively partner with other agencies and the private sector to accomplish Fire Protection and Resource Management objectives. A new facility will provide adequate parking space, public areas, training rooms, meeting rooms, dispatching functions and emergency vehicle
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 13 of 22
parking to meet CAL FIRE's mission and, under cooperative agreement, thie mission of the Shasta County Fire Department, who expect the Unit to function in a leadership role, especially in training, cooperative fire protection, and prevention programs.
CAL FIRE'S goal is to be an efficient, effective, quality organization with the resources necessary to carry out the Department's mission, a goal that is difficult to accomplish in deteriorated, outdated, and undersized buildings. The number and size of vehicles used for fire protection has increased. The number of programs has increased, along with the number and diversity of personnel. CAL FIRE now functions in an atmosphere of increasing complexity; the basic training required to keep pace with the Department's mission requires more space and classrooms to effectively and efficiently maintain a quality organization.
2) DETAILED SCOPE DESCRIPTION:
Acquisition: Acquire a parcel with the following attributes:
• Sufficient size to accommodate all current and anticipated program space needs of the Unit and Region Programs and functions. It is anticipated that 15 to 20 acres is sufficient.
• Access to Interstate 5 without vehicular passage through residential or heavy commercial areas. • No conflict with adjacent land uses or zoning. It must not be near a school or hospital zone. It must not
be on a parcel or adjacent to a parcel with large high voltage lines. • Access to public power, water, sewer, and telecommunication services. It is desirable to have access
to cable and natural gas. • Located outside a floodplain zone or landslide area. Soils and topography must be suitable to all
aspects of the facility development. • Not isolated from road access by a major bridge. • Suitable for erecting a communications tower.

3. BASIS FOR COST INFORMATION:
The attached cost estimate, prepared by CAL FIRE Technical Services, is based on actual costs incurred on similar projects recently completed. An accurate, scope-defined cost estimate will be available upon completion of a budget package.
4. FACTORS/BENEFITS FOR RECOMMENDED OTHER THAN THE LEAST EXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVE:
The least expensive alternative is to defer the project, which results in no new state costs costs. However, failure to implement the facility improvements outlined is this submittal will impact the operation of this mission critical facility.
The recommended solution is driven by the need to effectively deliver reliable critical emergency response resources to the State of California. The Shasta-Trinity Unit buildings proposed for replacement are 71 years old, functionally inadequate, and do not meet the requirements for an Essential Services Facility. The buildings have no fire alarm or fire sprinkler systems, are poorly insulated, and have inadequate, substandard, failing heating, cooling, electrical, and plumbing systems. The Region facility does not provide the space needs from program functions that have expanded since 1982 or are new programs. Currently, an offsite facility is being leased to house the Region Fire Prevention and Cost Recovery Programs.
5. COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF IMPACT ON SUPPORT BUDGET:
Maintenance and repair costs for the new facilities will initially be lower following completion of the project and during the early portion of their serviceable lifespan.
6. IDENTIFY AND EXPLAIN ANY PROJECT RISKS:
There are no risks associated with completion of this project.
7. LIST REQUIRED INTERDEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION AND/OR SPECIAL PROJECT APPROVAL (INCLUDING
MANDATORY REVIEWS AND APPROVALS, E.G. TECHNOLOGY PROPOSALS):
This project will require for each site: CEQA compliant environmental review, approval by the State Fire Marshal, Division of the State Architect and completion of real estate due diligence.
DF-151 (Rev 07/16) PAGE 21 of 22
E. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 1016, STATUTES OF 2002 - AB 857:
1. Does the recommended solution (project) promote infill development by rehabilitating existing infrastructure and how?
Yes. The SHU UHQ existing site will probably be used by the City of Redding for continued use as a government facility which will prevent the city from acquiring additional property. The proposed site for the construction is planned for development by the City of Redding.
2. Does the project improve the protection of environmental and agricultural resources by protecting and preserving the state's most valuable natural resources?
Due to the nature of the Department's mission, it can be necessary to locate facilities into areas that could have negative environmental and agricultural impacts; however, strategic placement of these facilities to provide more effective response to wild land fires will ultimately protect nearby forests, watersheds, agricultural land, and other valuable natural resources. Any impacts created at the new site will be minimized and appropriate mitigations will become part of the project.
3. Does the project encourage efficient development patterns by ensuring that infrastructure associated with development, other than infill, support efficient use of land and is appropriately planned for growth?
Yes. Project planning includes incorporation within local government planning models. Growth-inducement potential, noise and air pollution are potential environmental impacts addressed in the CEQA process.
