Description) Finance: Council Notes: 75.0262 Aaenda Item No. 1(;2/ CIT~ OF SAN BERNARDIN\",.. - REQUES - FOR COUNCIL ACTI" ..~ STAFF REPORT The purpose of this report is to outline reasons for under- taking a study of fire station locations throughout the City. The intent behind the study is to evaluate the adequacy of fire station locations - both existing as well as planned - on response time considerations. This study will assist the City in making a determination on the disposition of fire station #10. As you may know, station #10 at 502 South Arrowhead Avenue is under a 25 year lease with the Orange Show. This lease, which was originally signed in October, 1964, will expire in October, 1989. (The actual building is owned by the City but it is situated on property leased from the Orange Show). Rather than commit the City to another long term lease obligation, it would be more appropriate to evaluate the adequacy of this fire station location in terms of optimal response times. This study will provide a basis for making a decision in this regard. In addition, the Fire Chief has indicated than an additional fire station may be needed in the northern portion of the City in the next 5 to 10 years to service the growth in that area. Again, a study of this nature would provide the City with a basis for making a decision in terms of optimal location. The final reason for the study is to evaluate the adequacy of the existing fire stations. Although this study was conducted in 1973 and resulted in a realignment of fire station locations, community development and growth in the ensuing 15 year period necessitate a reevaluation of this initial study. The technology to develop this study is a computer based planning and management software package. The program, known as the micro fire station location package (FSLP) is available to the City through Public Technology Inc. which is the research arm of the National League of Cities. The purchase price for the software is $12,500. It is proposed that the software be purchased as it will allow the City to periodically update the study as demographic considerations change. In addition, the database developed for the FSLP project can be used for a variety of other community facility location issues. The FSLP will actually compare response times resulting from specific fire station configurations with established objectives by the City. These comparisons will be done on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis, for the community as a whole. Travel distance or travel times from each neighbor- hood to existing or proposed fire station sites are determined by using a computer-readable version of the City's street network. The network traces the paths fire trucks take in traveling to fires. The network also allows the City to analyze the impact that changes in the transportation network may have on fire service delivery. The FSLP also allows the City to develop options based on this information which ultimately lead to policy recommendations regarding optimal 75-0264 CIT\ OF SAN BERNARDIN. - REQUE! FOR COUNCIL ACT. H STAFF REPORT fire station locations. In 1973, the City contracted with Public Technology Inc. to perform a fire station location study. This study resulted in the realignment of fire stations, including the elimination of one fire station. A summary of the fire station realignment is provided as an attachment. In addition to substantial savings in operating costs which resulted through the elimination of one fire station, the average response time was cut from 3.8 minutes to 3.0 minutes throughout the City. The key elements of the 1973 study included: 1. Identification of the need for fire protection. Target hazards were identified by street inter- section and the fire protection needs of the immediate vicinity were described. These target hazards were rated according to severity and a response time requirement was developed for each such point. 2. Identification of potential fire station locations. The FSLP required that all fire station locations, both current and potential future sites be identi- fied. It was from this list that the computer selected the combination of sites that would do the best job in the most economical manner. 3. Create a computer based street network. 4. Develop policy options. The FSLP allowed the City to develop a variety of policy options which ultimately led to the recommendation to realign the fire stations. Public Technology Inc. has indicated that the project can be completed in approximately 8 months which would provide the City with sufficient time to make a decision on fire station #10. It is recommended that the Mayor and Common Council approve in concept the fire station location study and authorize staff to proceed with the purchase of the necessary software package to initiate the program through approval of the attached tans r agreement. .

PROJECT ABSTRACT This agreement describes a project to implement the Fire Station Location Package (FSLP) -- a proven computer-based method for locating fire stations -- in the City of San Bernardino, State of California. This project will provide the City with an effective method for developing an efficient configuration of fire stations designed to minimize response time. It will help local policy makers and fire department officials make better, more defensible decisions about how many fire stations are needed and where to locate them within a framework of locally developed objectives and constraints. The project described in this agreement can be completed in approximately eight to twelve months. City staff will own the FSLP system at the conclusion of the project and will be able to apply the system for periodic updates as local conditions change. In addition, the data base developed for this FSLP project can be used for a variety of other community facility location problems. This agreement has been developed by Public Technology, Inc. (PTI), the applied science and technology arm of the National League of Cities and the International City Management Association. PTI has successfully transferred computer-based planning and management tools, including FSLP, to over 150 U.S. cities. Any questions regarding this proposal should be directed to: Susan B Benton Program Manager Public Technology, Inc. 1301 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W. Washington, D.C. 20004 (202) 626-2400 II.

BY;{iIt tJh~ ~ TITLE ,;:~~L''-'A..- BY TITLE i i i III. OBJECTIVES OF THE WORK The objective of this proposal is to introduce a proven technology for fire services evaluation and planning that will provide the City of San Bernardino Fire Department with the means to make better, more defensible decisions about the number, type, and location of fire stations that are needed to meet locally derived response time objectives. This technology, entitled the Fire Station Location Package (FSLP), is a computer-based planning and management tool. It will provide fire department and local management personnel with a means to analyze the adequacy of existing fire services and develop alternative plans resulting in a more efficient utili- zation of resources and a more equitable distribution of services throughout the community. The FSLP supports improved evaluation and planning by comparing response times resulting from specific fire station configurations with those established as objectives by the local project team. These comparisons are done on a neigh- borhood-by-neighborhood basis, for complete fire districts and for the community as a whole. Travel distances or travel times from each neighborhood to existing or pro- posed fire station sites are determined by using a computer-readable version of the community's street network. The network accurately traces the paths fire trucks take in traveling to fires. It takes into account actual physical barriers to travel, such as rivers, freeways, or railroad tracks. The network also allows the local project team to analyze accurately the impact that changes in the community's current transportation network, such as a new railroad over- pass or an emergency traffic light control system, may have on fire service delivery. 1 IV. RESULTS The primary results of the proposed work are: 1. The application of an operational, proven technology -- the Fire Station Location Package (FSLP) -- in the City of San Bernardino. 2. The development of an equitable, efficient plan for the distribution of fire stations that is responsive to various policy constraints established by fire department and local administrative and elected officials. V. BENEFITS The use of the FSLP has not only improved the delivery of fire services~ but has also often resulted in substantial savings in capital and operating costs. For example, Gainesville, Florida changed its capital plan, saving $500,000 in capital construction and $1,500,000 in operating costs over three years. Oshawa, Ontario, Canada was able to save over $5 million by relocating existing stations rather than building additional ones. Attachment 4 is a table identifying more than 120 communities of all population ranges in North America that have satisfactorily used the package. Utilization of the FSLP will have significant benefits in terms of improving the delivery of services through the development of a more efficient configuration of fire stations while holding the line on costs. Benefits can be realized in a number of ways: 2 o Improved data management and planning capability within the Fire Depart- ment and enhanced opportunities for interdepartmental coordination. o A mechanism for rapid and thorough analysis of the impacts of alterna- tive fire station configurations and changes in the street syst~n and growth patterns in the community. o Increased efficiency in the delivery of fire services through the development of a fire station configuration that reduces response time while equalizing fire protection coverage throughout the community. o Decisions that can be defended before elected officials and community groups because they are objective and based upon sound, comprehensible procedures. o Data bases that can be used for dispatching and determining move-up policies, and developing property and fire hydrant management systems. VI. PROJECT TASKS This project will consist of the following tasks: 1. Establish Project This task will primarily consist of an identification of needs and goals, definition of study areas and project scope, and the assembly of a project team consisting of management and technical personnel from affected agencies who will be involved in project implementation. The City will have primary responsibil- ity for the completion of this task in consultation with PTI. PTI will provide on-site orientation for all technical team members on the FSLP and assistance to the management team in establishing the project. PTI will also provide user documentation on the FSLP project management and a sample task-time chart to support this task (see Attachments 1 and 2). 3 2. Provide Training and Data Collection Procedures PTI will provide on-site training of local personnel in FSLP data collec- tion requirements and procedures and will also provide all worksheets. PTI will also provide on-going technical assistance during the data collection phase in the form of telephone contacts, and written correspondence. Actual data collection will be the responsibility of the City. To ensure efficient use of local staff resources, PTI staff will instruct local personnel in organizing and controlling data collection procedures. 3. Data Processing PTI shall provide on-site training of local personnel in FSLP data pro- cessing requirements and procedures, along with complete user documentation on data processing, including error edits, sample job control, and output reports. PTI shall provide a computer tape containing all the Fire Station Location Package programs in source code form along with test data. The programs shall become the property of the City of San Bernardino to be used in the future as needed. PTI will assist local data processing staff install the computer programs and run them with test data. PTI will provide unlimited technical support over the phone to support this task and on-site assistance if required. If desired, PTI will provide all data entry and processing services to sup- port the FSLP at an additional cost not included in the current contract. Data editing and network calibration will be accomplished in conjunction with the local staff. All policy inputs to guide data processing runs will be the responsibility of the City. Data editing and street network calibration, in which the computer gene- rated response time estimates are validated, will be accomplished in conjunction with local staff. 4 4. Analysis of Existing Fire Services and Development of Alternative Plans PTI will demonstrate how to use the FSlP output to analyze strengths and weaknesses of current fire protection services. This will involve an on-site visit. PTI will train staff in procedures for developing alternative fire station configurations within a framework of policy constraints and assist them in analysis of proposed plans. Selection of a final recommended plan will be the responsibility of local staff. PTI will provide response time objectives used by other FSlP jurisdictions of similar size as a guide to staff along with sample final reports and presentations. 5. Presentation of Final Results If requested, PTI will provide on-site assistance to the project team in presenting final ,project results to elected officials, citizen groups, and city employees. VII. MANAGEMENT PLAN Responsibilities of the City of San Bernardino This proposed work would involve a collaborative project between the City of San Bernardino and Public Technology, Inc. As such, PTI would expect the City to assume the following particular responsibilities: 1. The City would agree to appoint a single individual with the authority to act as Project leader for the FSlP project. The Project leader would be responsible for all project work performed by local staff including data collection and analysis. 2. The City would also agree to implement the FSlP system in accordance with Tasks 1 - 5 above, and to devote or obtain whatever resources are necessary to ensure a successful implementation, including staff time, equipment, material, or other resources. 5 Attached to this proposal are resumes of PTI staff who will be available to work on the FSLP project. VIII. WORK SCHEDULE Table 1 illu~tr~tes a work schedule which will accommodate the full project in four months.
