City of Gilroy Police Facility - Synopsis of Construction Cost Estimate /)
February 18, 2003 ~
Project No. 00-244.02
Introduction
During June 2001, at the completion of the Needs Assessment and Conceptual Design Phase, the City Council authorized
the development of a 48,574 square foot Police Facility featuring two levels of below-grade parking at an estimated cost of
$19,544,153.00. Projected costs were limited to the primary Police Facility project boundaty, and did not include costs for
the demolition of adjacent residential properties, off-site street improvements, or surrounding off-site utility infrastructure
because the scope of these improvements were unknown until completion of the Civic Center Master Plan which occurred
approximately a year later.
Current Construction Market Disparity
During 2000 and 2001, the California construction market experienced significant upward-increasing cost activity,
primarily due to rising fuel and energy costs. Regional and national constnIction cost data, used for cost estimating
purposes, contain a large disparity between "book" and "actual" market conditions. Although current construction cost
levels now appear stable (February 2003, Engineering News Record), significant increases in "core" construction materials
and components like concrete, masonry, stnIctural steel, plumbing, mechanical, and electrical building systems have
occurred during the last several years.
Energy and Fuel Cost Impacts
After the summer of 2001, escalating energy and fuel costs resulted in large increases in the cost of structural steel,
concrete, and masonry. Since the time of conceptual design, the difference in stnIctural steel costs results from an estimated
20% increase during the fall of 2000, and an estimated 32% increase by end of 2001. Higher energy and fuel costs impact
both the production of core materials like structural steel, and effect costs for transportation, detailing, fabrication, and
placement.
Local & Statewide Public Bonds Effect Labor and Material Costs
The passage this November of $3.45 billion in public bonds for the construction of public schools, community colleges, and
public safety facilities creates an abundance of public works construction projects, thus causing shortages in primary
building products and the availability of skilled labor. This added surge in the construction market, when combined with a
backlog of $2.9 billion in public school construction, material shortages, and increased fuel and energy cost, drastically
affects the cost of new building projects.
Status of Current Project Costs
The current cost estimate of $25,160,377.00 is higher than the original funding allocation established by the City Council.
The primary factors causing increased cost estimates results from an economic shift in the regional construction market
caused by the increased cost for the production and fabrication of core building materials, increased labor costs, rising
energy and fuel expenditures, and the magnitude of current and future public works projects occurring within California.
Greater costs have also been incurred because of the addition of off-site improvements not included within the original
conceptual cost estimate which. includes site demolition of residential properties, utility infrastructure, and street
improvements.
Project Cost Management and Benefits
To meet these budget challenges, the project team initiated cost benefit analysis early in the design and reduced structural,
security, electrical, and mechanical system costs by $902,475.00. Further value engineering efforts during the final design
Virginia Dare Tower · 10470 Foothill Boulevard · Rancho Cucamonoa. California 91730 - 3754 . oh: 909 9117 0909 fm,' 909 QRO QQRI'l
reflect an additional cost savings of $1,042,110.00. With these savings, the project still meets year 2023 Police Department
space needs, provides parking and utility infrastructure for Library and future Civic Center growth, and includes energy-
efficient design features estimated to further save approximately $2.0 to $2.5 million in reduced energy and operational
costs for the next twenty years.

re: Post-Bid Assessment & Recommendations
Gilroy Police Facility
Project No. 00-244.40
Dear Mr. Baksa,
For your review and consideration, I am submitting Post-Bid Assessment & Recommendation
reports prepared by Harris and Associates and WLC Architects. Both Harris and WLC, with
Design Team concurrence, recommend rejection of all bids and redesign of the project to meet the
proposed project budget presented to the City Council in February 2003. To meet this need, the
Design Team proposes the following three-step process.
1. Develop a scope of work outlining the redesign process.
2. Evaluate all available options to understand the cause and effect of potential redesign
impacts upon the Police Facility project and the Civic Center Master Plan.
3. Prepare revised contract documents, project schedule, and cost estimates for rebidding the
project based upon the approved redesign option.
The first step will be completed for City Council review and endorsement before the Council's
summer break in August. Please accept my assurances that all reasonable expediency will be
employed in the redesign process, and that the City has the full commitment of all Design Team
members.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Larry Wolff, AlA

POST BID EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
GILROY POLICE FACILITY
JUNE 4, 2003
Project 0024400.40
WLC intends full accountability for the project cost estimating and related decision making pertaining to the disappointing bid
results for the Gilroy Police Facility. The purpose of this narrative is to provide City leaders and the Gilroy community an honest
assessment of the potential causes for the nature of bids received, and recommendations for future action.
BID RESULTS
Approximately 105 sets of construction documents were printed and distributed to various plan rooms and construction related
bidder support organizations. There were 93 plan holders that include 12 builder exchanges. A pre-bid conference, advertisements in
two local newspapers, and direct invitation to contractors who had expressed previous interest - were all used to facilitate
maximum contractor exposure for the project. Four addendums were issued during the bidding period. Although a total of fifteen
general contractors ultimately pulled plans, only three general contractors actually submitted bids.
S.J. Amoroso Construction
Nibbi Brothers Construction
K.B. Construction
$26,137,000 (low bidder)
$26,700,000 (second)
$26,792,000 (third)
As the design professional of record, WLC is responsible to detennine the opinion of construction cost for the project. and is
responsible for redesign costs to bring the project within 15% of their construction cost estimate.
BACKGROUND
The final cost estimate presented to the City Council on February 24,2003, was $18,231,057.00. WLC's estimate was based upon
industry recognized cost indexes and historical cost data developed from similar police and public safety projects completed over the
last five years. Due to the complexity of the project and WLC's predominance of Southern California experience, Davis Langdon
Adamson (DLA) was retained by WLC to provide an independent cost estimate based upon recommendations from Harris and
Associates. DLA's construction cost for the project was $25,182,000.00. Attempts by WLC to reconcile the difference of
approximately $7.0 million between their estimate and DLA's estimate proved unsuccessful. WLC requested to proceed with the
bidding phase of the project based upon their greater belief in their own historical costs in order to determine the actual cost of
construction, and to eliminate the uncertainty about estimated costs.
FINDINGS
After an evaluation of the bids received, WLC believes that the greatest added cost factors result from a miscalculation of historical
project costs. Telephone interviews were conducted by WLC to further determine the greatest area of cost impacts to the project. The
following summary reflects considerations for potential cost savings.
1. The City requirement that the general contractor directly provide 25% of the work limited the number of general contractors
ultimately bidding on the project. After the City confirmed a 25% contractor work force requirement, eight bidders dropped out
of the project. creating a significant impact on the competitive process. Although the three final bids were very close, the
specified work percentage resulted in increased bid cost due to elimination of more competitive subcontractors. WLC believes
that the requirement to perform 25% of the work by the general contractor may have increased bid costs by $250,000.00 to
$500,000.
2. Although the City increased the allowable time for basic construction from 16 to 19 months, those contractors interviewed stated
that a minimum of 20 to 22 months should be anticipated on the project due to the overall scope of the project. Therefore, the
time allowed for construction may also be a contributing factor to the high bid cost submitted. WLC believes that additional
monies for delay assessment and extended overhead cost may have increased bid costs from $400,000.00 to $500,000.00.

.
3. During plan check, the building was changed from a less restrictive Type II construction type to Type I construction. These
changes were not anticipated or accounted for in WLC's final estimate. WLC believes that Type I construction requirements did
increase bid costs from $700,000.00 to $750,000.00.
4. During the bid process, an extensive number of requests for information (RFI's), were required to answer structural and
technical questions submitted to the project team. Approximately 300 pre-bid RFI's and bid inquiries were received which
indicates the complexity of the project. A multitude of clarifications were related to the two-level parking structure. WLC
employed two full-time staff during the bid process to answer RFI's. WLC's responses are documented and are reflected within
the four addendum issued during the bidding period. Due to the extensive addendum information issued, uncertainty in the bid
process may produce higher bids. However, WLC does not believe that the condition of the construction documents
significantly contributed to higher bid cost because of the relatively tight spread within the three final bids received. WLC
believes that rebidding the project with consolidated documents could decrease bid costs by $200,000.00 to $350,000.00.
5. Concrete was the highest sub graded cost, estimated at $4.0 million, with an additional $1.5 million required for the auger-
driven concrete pile system. Consequently almost 20% of the total project costs are attributable to concrete work involving
footings, foundations, basement walls, and the auger-driven pile system. Elimination of the second lower parking level to effect
one level of below grade parking will significantly simplify overall engineering requirements, and greatly reduce concrete,
grading, structural steel, and mechanical systems costs. This modification also allows for the reinstatement of less restrictive
Type II construction. WLC believes that elimination of the second lower level of the parking structure will reduce bid costs by
$4,000,000.00 to $4,500,000.00.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. WLC believes that the act of rebidding the project with consolidated construction documents could lower construction cost by
$200,000.00 to $350,000.00. This opinion was shared by interviewed general contractors.
2. WLC believes that the minimum direct work requirement for general contractors should be reduced to a minimum requirement
of 15%, and lower if possible.
3. WLC believes that an increase of an additional month of construction should be extended to the total time of completion of 20
months for the project.
4. Elimination of the lowest parking level is anticipated to yield a cost savings of$4.0 million or greater. The simplification and/or
elimination of related auger-driven piles, mechanically exhausted vehicle emission systems, structural steel, and primary
concrete work will result.
5. Elimination of the upper floor, relocation of the communications center to the main floor level, and simplification of the roof is
anticipated to yield a cost savings of$2.0 million or greater.
6. Elimination of the lowest level of the parking garage will allow the project to convert back to a Type II structure. This will result
in cost reduction and/or elimination of added construction fire-rated assemblies and related system infrastructures. WLC
anticipates an additional $700,000.00 reduction can be achieved by re-engineering to Type II construction.
7. WLC believes that the implementation of Recommendation Items 1 through 3 may reduce project costs by as much as $1.25 to
$2.0 million.
8. WLC recommends that the City reject all bids and direct WLC to re-engineer the project as identified in WLC's
recommendations and as determined by subsequent Project Team recommendations. These costs to redesign the project as
stipulated herein will be borne by WLC at no additional cost to the City as established by WLC's Professional Services
Agreement.

Re: Open Letter to the City Administrator and City Council
Gilroy Police Facility
Project 0024400.40
Dear Mr. Baksa and Honorable City Council Members:
I am writing this letter personally to you because I feel I have caused you great disappointment
and concern over the devastating bid results regarding the Gilroy Police Facility. Please accept
my deep regret and sincerest apology for any blame, criticism, or lack of appreciation you may
have experienced for all of your support and hard work expended on this project. WLC intends
full accountability for project cost estimating and related decision making, and will provide City
leaders and the Gilroy community an honest public assessment of the potential causes for the
nature of bids received, and recommendations for future action.
Our post-bid study session with the City Council is scheduled for 6:00 p.m., Monday,
June 16,2003. Now that the actual project costs are known, we will redesign the project to meet
the proposed project budget presented to the City Council in February 2003. WLC understands
and is committed to both meeting the City's budget for this project and to meeting the long term
needs of the Police Department and Civic Center Master Plan. Because of my professional
respect and personal regard for you, I wanted to at least convey these thoughts to you beforehand.
I am anxious to address the issues at hand and to discuss redesign opportunities. Please know that
I do have a plan to get this project back on track. Recent meetings and conversations with Project
Team members are encouraging. Though significant impacts to the present design will be
necessary to reduce project costs, I am confident that a quality, functional, and distinctive Police
Facility is still achievable. In the meantime, please accept my personal commitment that all
reasonable expediency will be employed in the redesign process, that the City has the full support
of all Design Team members, and that we will ultimately prevail.

1.0 Executive Summary
1.1 Gilroy's Development Challenge
Changes in Gilroy's community structure, growing population needs, shifting demographic profiles,
the rapid pace of emerging technologies, and continuing concerns for a safe, secure, and prosperous
future effect community contentment, quality of life, and expectations for premium law enforcement
services. Realizing that remarkable opportunities exist for those cities who can lead their citizens
and shape their households successfully into a community that values healthy children, builds strong
families, and offers safe schools, quality housing, and desirable workplace environments, the Gilroy
City Council began the planning process for a new Police Station in 1997. During this time, a needs
assessment was completed, methods for implementation were determined, and budgets were set
based upon City's goals and objectives. This work effort was extensive and credible.
This is a critical moment for the City. Change has occurred since the time of initial deliberations and
decision making. The purpose of this study is to determine the significance of change which has
occurred, and to measure the impact upon three critical success factors.
~ Quality ofthe Police Department's twenty-year needs assessment and space requirements.
~ Quality of the Police Station design regarding neighborhood and civic center compatibility.
~ Quality of project cost estimate and compliance with City's prior authorized funding level.
Gilroy's development challenge requires an updated Needs Assessment and Preliminary Design
Study to ensure its critical success factors meet the vision for the community as seen by City
Council, the Police Department, and community stakeholders.
1.2 Project Scope
This Needs Assessment and Preliminary Design report provides the basis for planning, design, and
development of a new Police Station - enabling Gilroy decision makers and stakeholders to receive
full value from their future land and building investment. The basis for the development of premiere
law enforcement facilities resulting from the expert management of design opportunities that exist
within the project is identified in this document. A twenty-year space needs assessment, site analysis,
conceptual design, and master plan have been completed to provide the necessary tools for
implementation. Employment ofWLC's Community Design Process provided significant public
participation during the creation of the design, and resulted in four community design workshop
sessions that influenced, shaped, and inspired the architectural vision proposed within the master
plan. With the application of this document, the City of Gilroy will be able to:
~ Update and confirm the City's growth projections and strategies for the most effective
Gilroy Police Facility Basis of Design
0024400.60
Page 3
employment of space at the proposed site location.
~ Respond with creative site planning and building design features to best support future Police
Station and related law enforcement facility needs.
~ IdentifY neighborhood and civic center priorities for site planning and related land use, and create
a responsive Police Station to meet diverse City and community expectations, preferences, and
needs.
~ Build vital law enforcement facilities that celebrate community identity and provide rewarding
public and municipal services.
~ Enable the City to best provide law enforcement services through the year 2023 and provide
expansion capability for police facilities through General Plan build-out to 2033.
The planning, design, and construction of the new Gilroy Police Station offers significant
opportunities and challenges. The project requires an accurate assessment of the proposed 1.89 acre
site and its potential for development of a new Police Station and related civic center improvements.
The objective of this report is to provide the information necessary to initiate the formal design and
construction processes. The basis of this report provides City decision makers and future design and
construction team members a valuable tool - enabling the City Council to best provide law
enforcement services through the year 2023.
1.3 Opportunities and Challenges
The City of Gilroy is a special community, having a quality lifestyle dedicated to the prosperity,
safety, and security of all citizens. The importance of community-based public service concepts
depends upon stimulating, challenging, and rewarding work place environments for Police
Department personnel. One of the critical success factors in the planning process is to understand
and resolve the organizational management policies and functional relationships to be employed
within Police Department work environments, and then to determine optimum space and interior
configurations to best serve intended law enforcement operations. Gilroy Police Department's
staffing is uniquely different from most other municipal departments because there are less police
officers per resident population served, and due to the greater use of multi-performance departmental
teams within Police Department structures. These special organizational qualities suggest that a
great degree of flexibility will be necessary within future Police Station work environments.
Significant effort has been expended in this study to develop the most reliable space projections and
site assessments possible for the next 20 years, and to identifY design concepts which best leverage
the $14.65 million currently authorized by the City Council. The primary purpose of this document
is to identifY which development strategy for a new Police Station best meets long-range City needs
from the spectrum of opportunities that exist in the project.
1.4 Special Planning and Design Considerations
Gilroy Police Facility Basis of Design
0024400.60
Page 4
This Needs Assessment and Master Plan incorporates staffing projections and provides space
allocations based upon a 20-year projection. A primary concern of City decision-makers is to ensure
that the planning effort results in a facility capable of meeting long-term, future needs. A 20-year
projection represents an aggressive commitment to satisfying Police Station and related public
service needs for a long time to come. To insure confidence and to achieve reliable staffing and
space forecasts, a large investment of time and study was devoted to the study and analysis of
previous growth, current demographics, and population forecasts contained in the City of Gilroy
General Plan, County of Santa Clara General Plan, and Association of Bay Area Governments
(ABAG) Economic and Population Index.
From these sources, it is believed that the City of Gilroy will likely grow by approximately 78% from
a current population of 40,153 to 69,018 people by the year 2023, which will require a combination
of 195 sworn and non-sworn Police Department employees. Statistical records obtained from
national law-enforcement agencies, International Society of Police Chiefs, and the United States
Department of Justice, support an average space standard for police facilities of 273 square feet per
person. The recommendations of this report propose a future police facility resulting in 245 square
feet per person. Because these national averages often include both custody holding facilities or
fully-devoted Type I jail facilities, some variance does exist within the average 273 square feet per
person. However, comparative studies show that a variance of no more than four to six percent is
likely. Because of the thoroughness of the planning process and detail provided by the preliminary
design proposals derived from this study, Project Team members view staffmg projections and space
allocations presented in this report with confidence.
1.5 Previous Needs Assessment and Facilities Master Plan
During November 1997, the City of Gilroy completed a detailed Needs Assessment and Police
Facilities Master Plan prepared by Harris and Associates and Edward J. Gee and Associates. The
Harris/Gee study projected space needs for the Gilroy Police Department up to the year 2017 based
upon projected staffing of 167 combined sworn and non-sworn personnel. This study established
the need at year 2017 for 40,141 gross square feet of building area, to be supported by 186 parking
spaces. Various site development options were evaluated and new construction was compared to
the renovation and expansion of the existing Police Station. Ultimately, the Harris/Gee report
concluded that new construction within a site immediate to the Gilroy Civic Center was optimum.
In December of 2000, the Gilroy City Council approved the proposed 1.89 acre site bordered by
Dowdy Street, Seventh Street, Hanna Street, and the City's existing Senior Center based upon the
results and recommendations of the Harris/Gee study.
1.6 Current Facility Needs
After site selection, the City retained WLC Architects, Inc. in February 2001 to prepare an updated
needs assessment and preliminary design for the new Police Station. Because three and a half years
expired from the time of the initial needs assessment, an updated needs assessment and architectural
program was prepared by WLC. This process began with Police Department reviews and updates
of combined sworn and non-sworn staffing projections up to the year 2023. Current staff projections
Page 5
Gilroy Police Facility Basis of Design
0024400.60
are detailed in the updated Planning Matrix included in Section 5.10fthis report which show 108
sworn and 87 non-sworn positions - an increase of 28 persons since 1997. Based upon these future
staffing projections, an updated needs assessment was prepared to identifY all required space
allocations, building components, support areas, and technology requirements for anticipated Police
Station functions. Ongoing Police Department reviews and work sessions provided the basis for
programming and related space projections, and established the final space requirements for the
project. Immediate and future requirements for all facility components were further identified.
Section 5.7 of this document provides a detailed inventory of the updated Space Needs Assessment.
1. 7 Building Size
This report shows a total building size of 47,781 square feet will be required to meet the needs of
the City over the next 20 years. Staffing projections determine building size, and the General Plan
build-out population forecast, combined with Police Department staffing estimates, determines
required staffing in the future. The current staffing level is 103 persons, which reflects the total of
combined sworn and non-sworn personnel in the Police Department. To meet the needs of the size
ofthe current Police Department, a building of 42,975 square feet is required. The existing police
building size is 17,665 square feet, which results in a ratio of 171 square feet per employee - which
is significantly less than the State average of 273 square feet per person. Based upon the City's
population estimated to be 69,018 residents in 2023, total future estimated staffing is projected to
be 195 total sworn and non-sworn personnel. A future facility size of245 square feet per employee
results, which reasonably measures up to the California average of273 square feet per employee.
Current Space Needs
o Current Staffing Level: 103 combined sworn and non-sworn personnel.
o Current Space Provided: 17,665 square feet or 171 square feet per employee
o Current Space Needs Projection: 42,975 square feet to meet year 2003 requirements.
Future Space Needs
o Future Projected Staffing Level: 195 combined sworn and non-sworn to the year 2023.
o Future Space Needs Projection: 47,781 square feet or 245 square feet per employee to
the year 2023.
Further information about the proposed building size is discussed further in Section 5.3 of this
report.
Comparison of Existing Police Departments
The original police facility was built in 1965, at a time when Gilroy's population was around 22,000.
Since that time, the population has grown to about 40,500 people and the Police Department has
grown accordingly in total employees. Even with the expansion and renovation of the existing
building, the Police Department has simply outgrown available space, relying on temporary
Gilroy Police Facility Basis of Design
0024400.60
Page 6
measures, such as off-site property and evidence facilities, to accommodate personnel and necessary
support functions. A comparison of similar California Police Departments ranks Gilroy in the lowest
space categories, and further illustrates the present level of overcrowding and general lack of space.

1.8 Site Analysis
The proposed site is viewed to offer adequate size and optimum location characteristics. Located
on the south edge of the Gilroy Senior Center, and bordered by Dowdy Street, Seventh Street, and
Hanna Street, the 1.89 acre property is a prime location within the Gilroy Civic Center - just west
of the existing City Hall building. Ultimately, four site options were selected for final study and
assessment. To meet future Police Station development requirements, the proposed site area can
meet future Police Department needs through the year 2023, dependent upon which site development
option is ultimately selected and employed. The future acquisition of the five remaining residential
Page 7
Gilroy Police Facility Basis of Design
0024400.60
parcels due west of the existing Senior Center along the east side of Dowdy Street is necessary to
meet both long term, future Police Department expansion, and to facilitate additional Senior Center
parking - regardless of which site development option is selected for the Police Facility. The
primary site factors of greatest importance include the following considerations:
o Site availability and suitability.
o Site safety and security.
o Size and geometry.
o Views and vistas.
o Community recognition and familiarity.
o Proximity to existing City Hall facilities.
o Lack of environmental hazards.
o Traffic, circulation, parking, and accessibility.
o Site topography and drainage.
o Allowable land use and zoning.
o Expansion capability for General Plan build-out.
o Utilities.
1.9 Police Department and City Staff Participation
Much of the analysis and recommendations found within this report result from a good level of
Police Department and City staff participation. A Project Team consisting of Police Department
representatives and City staff was formed to provide assessment of department growth and staffmg,
future operations, professional expertise, historical knowledge, technical assistance, and to identify
Police Department preferences and expectations. Facility tours of twelve police stations located
throughout southern California and the Bay area were first scheduled and conducted to facilitate
comparative thinking about selective design features.
Area studies were prepared to pictorially diagram the updated needs assessment and to illustrate
optimum functional relationships. Three different area studies were prepared for review and
discussion. During this time, a series of informal work sessions was created to foster Project Team
participation and critical thinking, which involved hands-on problem solving and discussion. The
response from participants was thoughtful and diligent.
1.10 Outreach and Community Participation
Community Design Workshops, selectively scheduled throughout the conceptual design phase, were
conducted to engage residents, community representatives, and City staff throughout the early
planning stages of the project. Each workshop session was promoted and advertised by the City in
local newspapers and on cable television. The goal of the Community Design Workshops was to
build consensus among attendees, and to agree upon and understand the nature of opportunities and
challenges that existed within the project. Each workshop encouraged both individual and group
participation by using a charette format to foster common discussion and understanding. For the

Police Station project, a series of three "hands-on" community design workshops was used to
address community expectations, concerns, and preferences as follows:
~ Community Design Workshop No.1 - Initiating Site Awareness
~ Community Design Workshop No.2 - Exploring Development Options
~ Community Design Workshop No.3 - Seeking Architectural Character
~ Community Design Workshop No.4 - Preliminary Design Presentation
Many thoughtful responses were obtained from the workshop process, and the collective opinions
of the individuals attending the workshops were found to be very valuable. The workshop process
led to a better understanding of site planning opportunities, identified options for design and master
planning, and determined appropriate architectural forms and features.
1.11 Development Options
Site studies were prepared to evaluate single-level construction to two-level and three-level
construction schemes. Stacking plans were prepared and reviewed to compare the advantages and
disadvantages of each approach. Single level construction was found to be infeasible because of
sufficient available site area. Two-level construction was found to be more favorable because it
resulted in more compact, efficient, and functional configurations. Three-level construction was
found to be most favorable because the custody facility could be centralized and placed strategically
within the core of the building - thus optimizing safety and security features which is a critical
concern of neighboring residents. Further site section studies showed that by stepping the building
profile, combined with a "split-level" design concept, could effectively reduce the potential visual
impact of a three-level facility. The split-level concept is obtained by locating the parking and
custody level a half level below the existing street level, which places the main building level half
a level above existing grade.
Three primary strategies were used to determine the best stacking plan for the project:
o The Watch Commander is the central core component of the facility and should be located
strategically - with close, functional adjacency to all other facility components requiring
close proximity.
o The facility components requiring public access and those having the greatest level of use
by the majority of police personnel shall be located on the main floor (mid-level) of the
building, along with necessary support spaces.
o The custody facility shall be centrally located within the lower parking level, and the
communications center shall be centrally located on the upper building level.
Development Strategies
Four design concepts were evaluated by an Initial Study Phase, and illustrate the primary
development options believed to exist within the project. Each site and building option was
Page 9

..
evaluated and compared based upon floor and site plan configurations, building area provided, ability
to fulfill year 2023 needs, general program compliance, type of custody facility provided, energy
efficiency, need for additional property acquisition, neighborhood and civic center compatibility, and
initial and life cycle cost. From these basic considerations, the following site options were initially
developed, evaluated, and compared as the during the initial study phases ofthe project.
Initial Study Phase
Original Option No.1: Two-Level Building and Two-Level Parking Structure with Surface Parking
Minimum Option No.2: Three-Level Integrated Building & Parking Meeting Year 2015 Needs
Recommended Option No.3: Three-Level Integrated Building & Parking Meeting Year 2023 Needs
Maximum Option No.4: Four-Level Integrated Building with Parking Exceeding Year 2023 Needs
Custody Facility Considerations
A Type I Custody Facility is proposed in Options No.1, No.3, and No.4; whereas a smaller size
Holding Facility is proposed in Option No.2 - primarily to save space and reduce initial cost. From
the facility tours conducted by Project Team members, Type I Custody facilities were found to be
advantageous because they provided potential income generation and greater independence from
other agency use. Oftentimes, cities can offer their Type I facility to serve weekend offenders and
less intensive law breakers who are willing to pay for alternative jail accommodations. Over a period
of time, this revenue can be substantial and helps off-set related staffing and operations cost.
Energy Efficiency Considerations
High performance heating/ventilating/air-conditioning (HV AC) systems, lighting, and building
enclosures to achieve 20% energy use reductions are proposed in Options No.3 and No.4; whereas
basic systems which still meet minimum building code and energy standards are proposed in Options
No.1 and No.2. Although high performance components increase initial cost, savings from life-cycle
operations and maintenance, and energy efficiency are significant. Reduced energy use and savings
often pay back initial cost expenditures within eight to twelve years, and then become added income
revenue over the life ofthe project. Considering that Police Stations are expected to last for 25 t050
years, and that many endure for longer time spans, energy savings over the life of Gilroy's new
Police Station can be significant.

Original Option No.1
Option No.1 is based upon the City's "original" two-level building and parking structure concept
used in several of the 1997 Harris/Gee site study options. Here in this scheme, surface parking is
used with a conventional two-level building and two-level parking structure to produce a baseline
comparison for other options. Although this approach meets year 2023 space requirements, the plan
configuration is less efficient because the two-level concept requires more program components be
placed on the second level to preserve available site area, less centralization occurs, and some key
functional relationships are lost. Worse, this approach depends upon additional land acquisition to
attempt to achieve required parking, which uses up all adjacent properties - thus precluding any
available land area for either future Police Station or Senior Center expansion. Option No.1 is
estimated to cost $15,461,915.00 and exceeds the current authorized project cost of$14.65 million
by approximately $811,915.00.
Minimum Option No.2
Option No.2 uses a three-level building concept that combines building and parking areas into an
integrated structure, and attempts to build the most space and parking while meeting the current
authorized project cost of $14.65 million. This limitation results in a building size of 42,318 square
feet which is approximately 5,000 square feet less than all other options. The smaller building size
is viewed to be a "minimum" approach because it meets the Police Department's space needs up to
the year 2015. Likewise, this scheme provides 75% of the required parking which requires
additional parking expansion after year 2015. Available land area for either future Police Station or
Senior Center expansion is preserved by this option. Like Option No.1, this scheme provides basic
design features, and complies with minimum Title 24 Energy Standards.
Recommended Option No.3
Like Option No.2, this concept uses a three-level approach that combines building and parking areas
into an integrated structure, but instead meets required year 2023 building space and parking area
without attempting to meet the current authorized project cost of $14.65 million. This scheme
results in a building size of 47,781 square feet, which allows for a Type I Custody Facility. Option
No.3 also includes high performance energy systems. Revenue generation is believed to occur from
both the custody and energy features built into this scheme. The estimated $16,869,534.00 cost of
Option No.3 requires an additional $2.21 million funding increase, which can be mostly off-set by
long term energy savings and custody facility income estimated at $1.795 million. Like Option No.2,
this scheme meets only 75% ofthe projected parking, and requires additional parking expansion after
year 2015. Available land for either future Police Station or Senior Center expansion is preserved
by this option.
Maximum Option No.4
Option No.4 uses the same building and parking design as Option No.3, but adds a second level of
below grade parking to meet year 2023 parking needs. This scheme leverages the opportunity to
maximize below grade parking for civic center use. The additional parking level provides 300
parking spaces, which creates a surplus of 110 spaces available for other civic center uses. This
scheme has a building size of 47,781 square feet, provides a Type I Custody Facility, and includes
high performance energy systems. An additional $4.89 million budget allocation is required for this

1.12 Conceptual Design
Conceptual Design studies were developed based upon the results of the needs assessment and site
analysis phases. Sketch studies were provided depicting relationships of functional areas, building
use, and the primary interior activity relationships related to the site and building program.
Conceptual site and floor plans, building elevations, and a preliminary master plan were prepared.
A master plan for the project was prepared indicating all major Police Station elements. Site concept
studies were prepared to define structured parking areas, hard scape areas, plazas, terraces, and
outdoor activity and landscape areas related to the project.
Determination of an appropriate architectural style was a special component of the Conceptual
Design Phase. Community image story-boards and descriptive photographs were used to present
selected architectural forms, features, and images for consideration and selection by community
workshop attendees. Using the Community Design Process, a decision-making tree was used to
evaluate and assess distinctive architectural styles for the Police Station project.
The challenge to creating architectural character is to determine what justified forms and features
are most appropriate based upon the contextual relationships of site and program to the project.
Previous planning by the City and community confirms the implementation of bold strategies and
policy frameworks intended to improve the quality of life for residents, and to provide a positive
climate in which Gilroy neighborhoods will grow and thrive. The architecture envisioned for the
project seeks to reflect the unique geographical and contextual character of Gilroy while providing
a timeless assemblage of distinctive images woven together to form a unique and expressive design
statement. By using selected visual images like key words in an essay, the architecture speaks to the
essence of Gilroy traditions and place.
1.13 Project Cost
Depending upon which option is selected by the City for development and implementation, the total
initial cost for the project is estimated to range from $14.58 to $19.54 million which includes the
cost of building construction, parking, contingency for minor changes, indirect support costs, and
on-site improvement costs. Project cost estimates were developed based on programming and
scheduling studies. Programming requirements were converted and gross area space projections
were used to establish primary construction costs for the proposed conceptual design to include
general conditions, site preparation, new building construction, parking facilities, utility
infrastructure, and landscaping. Primary construction cost estimates are based upon a cost per square
foot basis which recognizes current market conditions for new construction.
1.14 Project Schedule
The total time for the design and construction of the project is estimated to require approximately
three years, which includes the time for final design, City and outside agency approvals, construction
bidding, and the primary construction phases. Project completion is scheduled for July 4, 2004. The
project schedule is based upon similar projects of size and scope.

1.15 Consequences
Based upon the results oftms study, the choice to be made is whether the City wants to meet future
twenty-year space needs, or meet the authorized budget based on the 1997 Police Facilities Master
Plan. The updated needs assessment shows that changes have occurred since 1997, causing increases
in required building space, which in turn, now cause an increase in required funding. Since the
authorized budget for the project has not changed, a shortfall of space will occur in the construction
of the new building without additional funding. Consequences exist for either decision.
Decision "A" - Meet updated twenty year space needs and increase the authorized budget.
Decision "B" - Meet the authorized budget and decrease space needs to the year 2015.
1.16 Recommendations
Based upon the results of this Needs Assessment and Preliminary Design Study, it is recommended
that the City choose Plan A and proceed with the development and implementation of Option No.3
- resulting in a new, three-level Police Station to be designed and constructed on the proposed 1.89
acre site. The new facility should be built at a size of approximately 47,781 square feet to meet the
needs of the City of Gilroy for the next 20 years, and should include an integrated parking structure
consisting of 150 below-grade parking spaces. A modified version of Construction Management
as Agent is strongly suggested as the best project delivery method for constructing the project. The
total cost of the project is estimated at $16.87 million and it will require approximately three years
for completion. Completion ofthe following action items is essential for the implementation oftms
recommendation:
1. Proceed with the development of Option No.3.
2. Authorize the completion of the next phase of professional design services.
3. Determine extent and type of funding sources to fund the project.
