On November 18, 1991,the Community Development commission considered the item. On December 2, 1991, the Community Development Commission approved the program. Because the Sewer/Water/Refuse Program as implemented was City-wide in nature,mutual benefit resolutions were necessary to facilitate the use of redevelopment twenty percent(20%)housing set-aside funds within and without all existing redevelopment project areas. On February 3, 1992,Resolution#92-45 of the Mayor and Common Council and Resolution#5321 of the Community Development commission were passed. With the approval of the Resolutions,the Mayor and Common Council and the Community Development Commission made findings of benefit to its various redevelopment project areas in the use of low-and moderate-income households. The funding amount approved for the program was$146,000 which is expected to be expended by March 1995. In brief,the program rebates to eligible owner occupied single-family households, those at or below fifty percent(50%)of the City's median income, the difference in the minimum monthly water rate,the monthly sewer service fee and the monthly fee for refuse, set as of September 1990 and increases approved for each service since that date. The rebates would also include increases that may occur during the estimated expenditure period of three(3)years for the proposed new funding of$200,000 in set-aside funds. The monthly increases for each utility that have occurred since the program was initiated are shown below. The Water and Public Services Departments do not currently anticipate any rate increases prior to June 1996. 1991 Increases 1992-93 Increases Sewer $7.70 $1.30 Water $1.10 ---- Refuse $4.25 $2.25 There are a total of 433 households participating in the program Based on the foregoing, staff recommends adoption of the form motion. r BARBARA J.LINDSETH,Acting Director Development Department ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BJL:NJO:rbtpro.cdc COMMISSION MEETING AGENDA MEETING DATE: 01/23/1995 Agenda Item Number: CALIFORNIA THEATRE WORK IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM PLAN-1 January 23, 1995 The San Bernardino Economic Development Agency has requested an outline scope of first-phase work based on recommendations in the California Theatre"Assessment Report". A preliminary budget was discussed in the Agency's work session on January 17, 1995 and this Consultant was asked to provide an outline work-program corresponding to a construction cost of 1.3 million dollars. Project fees and administrative costs would amount to approximately 40-per cent additional over construction cost. Responding to the Agency request involves defining a first-phase work-program from among the various individual work-packages and costs that accompany the"Assessment Report". Additionally, instructions were to include a degree of interior and exterior aesthetic restoration. From a construction viewpoint, recommendations also include multiple items of work wherever applicable in common areas of the building. These include as many items as possible (within budget) that can be executed using common openings in walls and ceilings, and from simultaneous placement of electrical, plumbing and duct work so that final replacement surfaces and finishes can be installed. PRIORITY WORK Priority Policy: Budget strategy requires a stated policy regarding certain values as part of planning. Therefore, only serious life-threatening code issues are recommended for inclusion as first-priority in first-phase work at the California Theatre.The corollary to this is that code requirements not included in the first-phase be planned to occur in a designated, budgeted and scheduled second-phase of work. Complementing Priorities: Complexities of construction technique and strategy are involved in planning work items that complement first-priority categories. It has been recommended that planning involve visible finish items. Additionally,technical aspects of planning require that certain work occur in common work areas, and that certain component replacements and repairs involving electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning systems be defined based on their locations. A logic sequence of such planning is briefly outlined below to fit within the Agency's mentioned budget limit. C l7�u CALIFORNIA THEATRE Page-2 WORK IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM PLAN-1 LOGIC OF RECOMMENDED WORK SCOPE AND SEQUENCE This Consultant recommends balancing available theatre project expenditures approximately equally between work related to audience facilities and factors involving event production. If attempt is made to rate importance of conformance issues in the California Theatre based on number of persons involved, audience needs affect more people and accordingly involve the greatest number of deficiencies. If level of risk of potential loss of life is considered, event production issues pose the greatest hazards to life-safety. Criticism and debate about the value judgements stated above have occurred in other projects with advocates of particular issues; however, the strategy of the mentioned budget is based on such value considerations plus acknowledgement that all code issues are important to planning and will be included in a later phase of work. A revised cost outline incorporating$1.206 million of work is attached to this"implementation program"for comparing first-phase cost with the balance of costs remaining in the"Assessment Report". A 10-per cent contingency allowance is recommended which brings a construction budget of$1.306 million dollars. PRIORITY"LIFE-SAFETY" RECOMMENDATIONS ($591,500) Production related priority work calls for stagehouse scenery grid replacement and related items as described in the"Assessment Report" Parts-26, 2C, 2D, 2E, 31, 3J, 4H and 6G. Recommended priority production expenditure is$116,500. Audience related priority work calls for main level access standards,fire sprinklers and alarms, door and hardware compliance as described in"Assessment Report" Part-2G, 3A through M (excluding 3C, 31 and 3J unless provided in another category) and 5G. Recommended priority audience accommodation expenditure is$275,000 Combined priority work serving both production and audience includes electrical power items, "Assessment Report" Part-6A, recommended expenditure$200,000. CALIFORNIA THEATRE Page-3 WORK IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM PLAN-1 COMPLEMENTING PRIORITIES RECOMMENDATION ($614,500) Production related complementing priority items include certain rigging equipment items included in"Assessment Report' Part-4H and 6G for a recommended expenditure of$50,000. Audience related complementing priorities include orchestra and balcony seating relocations, selected door and hardware replacement,ticket box office,toilet additions and decorative finishing items as provided in"Assessment Report" Part-2G, 3B, 5A, 5H, 6C, 7A, 7B, and 7C. Recommended expenditure for these items is $319,500. Combined production and audience complementing priorities involve roof and roof drainage replacements, Part-6D and electrical circuitry and auditorium house-lighting, Part-6A. These combined expenditure items total$245,000. EXCLUSIONS IN "IMPLEMENTATION PLAN-1" Notable items from the"Assessment Report"which are omitted from First-Phase recommendations are added performer and performance areas and facilities such as a north stagehouse addition and production lighting front of house, and house dimming, production lighting and sound system recommendations. The cost of"Code"and "Long-Term" items in the"Assessment Report" (not including"Major- Production" items) that are excluded from First-Phase"Implementation Plan-1" is 1.225 million dollars. Nor is any part of the 0.87 million dollars of"Major-Production" item recommendations included in the First-Phase budget. TIME REQUIREMENTS FOR "IMPLEMENTATION PLAN-1" Fast-track construction time required on site for the work scope of"Plan-1" is approximately 4- months under efficient construction management and theatre-design supervision. Lead-time for major-subs and materials contracts would be 2-months prior to beginning work on-site. Approximately 5-months is necessary for design, construction management planning and permit processing. )CALIFORNIA THEATRE IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM PLAN-1: FIRST PHASE RFM&Co 23-Jan-95 - SHEET 1 ------------------------------------------------------------- MAJOR-PROD LONG-TERM ICODE & SAFETY C 0 S T O U T L I N E ITEM COSTS ITEM COSTS I ITEM COSTS IRE EXIST CONDI t IPART-2 - STRUCTURAL ISSUES & RECOMMENDATIONS 2A FRONT OCCUPANCY SPACE 0 0 2B STAGE FLOOR ------ 5,000 2C GRID, CEILING, WALL: PRODUCTION ASSEMBLIES ------ REF 4H 2D OFF STAGE BRIDGES ------ 18,000 2E ARBOR GUIDE SEISMIC SUPPORT ------ 11,000 2F NORTH STAGEHOUSE ADDITION 0 0 2G ORCHESTRA FLOOR FILL 30,000 60,000 f PART-3 - CODES & STANDARDS COMPLIANCE 3A AUDIENCE EXITS ------ -- 38 DOORS & HARDWARE 40,000 30,000 3C FUTURE 2ND LEVEL FRONT EXITS 0 0 3D EXISTING EMERGENCY POWER ------ REF 6A 3E EXISTING EMERGENCY ILLUMINATION ------ REF 6A 3F EXISTING GENERAL ILLUMINATION ------ REF 6A 3G ENERGY CONSUMPTION ------ REF 6A 3H FIRE SPRINKLERS ( 0 110,000 31 STAGE SMOKE-VENTS ------ 35,000 3J PROSCENIUM FIRE-CURTAIN SUSPENSION ------ 7,500 3K FIRE-ALARM, ASSOC.
