Development Manager $`f t.�. DATE: May 21, 1994 (CC and MRA meeting of 06/01/94) SUBJECT: Consider Lease of 18 High Street with Charles Abbott Associates and Approval of Storefront Police Facility During the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency's Closed Session meeting of September 8, 1993, the lease of 18 High Street was last considered. The Agency received three (3) proposals for the lease and renovation of the vacant Santa. Barbara Savings and Loan building. The proposals received at that time were as follows: 1. The Magnificent MoorparM Met.odrama and Vaudeville Co. Proposed Use: Costume rentals, small gift shop and Historical Society display area. 2. Charles Abbott Associatt�s, Lnc (CAA). Proposed Use: CAA Ventura County Satellite Engineering Office Moorpark Building and Safety and City Engineerirc.X Office. 3. Moorpark Chamber of Comrner. c <7 .. Proposed Use: Chamber Office. The Agency opted to postpone further consideration of leasing the building, and directed staff to s?ek a restaurant or similar use for this key downtown location, Recently CAA has requested that the City review a new proposal for the lease of 18 High Street. Councilmember Patrick Hunter has brought forth a proposal that would combine the use of 18 High Street with CAA and a storefront lolice facility. DISCUSSION: The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency has recently received a revised proposal dated May 13, 1994 (attached), to lease the vacant bank building located at 18 High Street from CAA. The revised proposal contains a provision whereby the sheriff's Department would share space in the building with CAA. It is proposed that the Sheriff's Department occupy up to 120 square feet of the building for their office use. CAA's rent amount would be reduced on a pro -rata rate based on the square footage utilized by the Sheriff's Department. In addition, as needed the Sheriff's Department could have access to the staff rooms for confidertia1 meetings and for private interviews with the public. Based on previous proposals submitted to the City, it will cost approximately $3,500 to $4,000 for office furniture, and $4,000 for computer hardware to equip the facility (a total of approximately $8,000). The Sheriff's Department. share of rent and furnishings could be funded by the Police Fac2Lities Fees Fund. The proposal from Councilmember Hunter is for <0 hours per week staffing. The annual cost for a cadet for 1040 hours would be about $17,364. A civilian cost would be somewhat. lEss. There are three options for the (ost, of personnel which are: 1) divert existing staff at no cost, ?) the addition of an additional cadet or use of civilians, or 3, a - combination of 1 and 2 above for less cost than 2 above. The renovation and cost estimation to be completed to the building by CAA are as follows: 1. Front main room; demolish existing counter tops, ceiling, tile and insulation, bathroom, kitchen and paint interior. ($1.1,018.00) 2. Frame and drywall 10 foot x 9 foot partition wall. ($480.00) 3. Remove and replace drive -up window. ($900.00) 4. Remove and repair masonr,, columns and replace with new 6 inch X 6 inch wood post repair trash enclosure, build two new wood gates, and repair cracks in masonry. ($2,000.00) 5. Redo plumbing for two bathrooms, add kitchen cabinets, and purchase new water heater for bathrooms and kitchen.($3,450.00) 0 6. Service check HVAC. $3~0.001 7. Disconnect conflicting electrical wiring. Service ceiling light panels, install vent ceiling fans in bathrooms, and add receptacle for hot water heater. ($1,450.00) 8. Install 500 square feet of vertical blinds ($1475.00) 9. Install new flooring for bathrooms, storage area and kitchen. Floors to be ,overed with vinyl and carpet. ($5,700.00) 10. Install new ceiling tilF-s and k -19 insulation. ($1,500.00) 11. Install exterior non- iluminated sign. ($400.00) 12. Install 25 foot flag po e. 1, ~00.00) 13. Clean interior. ($600.0,, 15. Mark -up 200 ($6,166.01 16. Landscaping & sprinkler system restoration. ($2,229.00) 17. Water hook -up. ($50.001 Total estimated cost of reno\,atic�n $39,278.00 CAA has submitted two (2) options for the lease of the property in their revised proposal as follows' Option 1: - CAA will pay all renovation costs up front. Upon completion of those improvements and upon occupancy of the building CAA will begin rent payments at the rate of $1.00 per square foot. At $1.00 per square foot for the 1,500 square feet of building, the $39,278 improvement credit will be paid off in 26 months. The remaining $278.00 of credit will be applied during the twenty - seventh (27th) month. Thereafter, CAA will make payments to the City /Agency, of $1,500.00 per month. CAA will receive a p.ro -rata credit for monthly rent based on the square foot a -ea utilized by the Sheriff's Department. This option is based on the Agency paying for landscape maintenance, and water usage 'both landscaping and domestic water usage). CAA will be responsible for all other utility costs. Option 2: - If the City /Agency desires that CAA maintain the landscaping, CAA proposes that the payment be reduced to $0.90 per square foot for the 1,5()0 square feet of space. This equates to a $1,350.00 monthly payment. The $39,278 credit, discussed in Option 1 above, would be exhausted after twenty - nine (29) months of rent payments and an additional credit of $33.19 will extend into the thirtieth (30th) month. CAA would also receive a pro -rata ,:redit for monthly rent based on the square foot area utilized by the Sheriff's Department estimated at about $1,500 per year. CAA is willing to assume the costs of "minor vandalism" up to $500.00 a year. Any major damage due to vandalism would be the responsibility of the City or Agency. According to CAA, there would be insurance on all equipment and furnishings, which CAA indicated would satisfy their concern: as long as there is not an inordinate amount of theft or burg l are. . CAA is presently under contract. with the City of Moorpark (Agreement for City Engineering services dated March 1, 1991). Section III, General Conditions, (L) , page 9, of the Agreement states that, the Engineer shall provide at its own expense for the duration of this Agreement, office space within the corporate boundaries of Moorpark at a location and size acceptable to City to insure convenient service to the X:ablc. This Section of the Agreement further states that, in the event City, at its sole discretion, decides to provide office space to Engineer at City Hall. or other City owned or leased facilities, Engineer shall rent from the City an approximate 960 square foot area at the same rate at which engineer is then paying to rent or lease the office space referenced above. City shall provide no less than one hundred eighty (1P ) layF written notice of its intent to exercise this option. CAA is presently leasing approximately 1,000 square feet of office space on Poindexter .Avenue for $1,150.00 per month ($1.15 per square foot). The amount of rent and possibly other conditions of the existing Agreement for City Engineering Service will need to be addressed if the Agency is to consider the proposed offer of lease by CAA (the terms proposed in both )ptions 1. and 2 by CAA are close to market rates and the amount of -ent is comparable for this 4 area) . At the same rate ($1.15 per square foot) CAA would be paying $1,725 a month, less $138 for the area utilized by the Sheriff's Department for a total f $_,587. Staff's opinion is that the existinq rent that CAA is paying at the Poindexter facility, that being $1.1.5 per square foot, would be a reasonable rent for the 18 High Street: facility. Further, staff suggests that if the Agency is to consider the proposal by CAA, that during the contract. negotiation process, that additional bids be solicited by "AA in an attempt to lower the costs for the improvements that ar - listed above, thus providing a savings to the Agency. As stated above, Councilmember Patrick Hunter suggested that this facility be occupied jointly by CAA and the Sheriff's Department as a storefront police office. The main office for the contractual Sheriff's Service would remain at: the East Valley Sheriff's Station. The primary reasons for his proposal are: 1) it is a generally accepted concept in law enforcement that maintaining a high police visibility is the greatest deterrent to crime and violence and; 2) there is no reason to believe that this will not be true for the immediate area and the entire community of Moorpark, if 18 High Street were to be utilized for a storefront police facility. The potential advantages of the Sheriff's Department being located at this site are as follows: 1. The facility will afford a higher level of citizen involvement in furtherance of the community based policing concept, especially for the High Street and surrounding areas ( for i Both commercial and residential areas). 2. It has been found that the perception of safety is as important as the level of crime itself and this facility will add to this perception. When people feel an area is safe they will be more likely to frequent the area, use the public .facilities an�i shop there. 3. Provide a local Sheriff's Department office in our community for report writing and for the preparation of follow -up reports. Presently there is no permanent Sheriff's Department Office or facility in Moorpark. Sheriff Officers must now use the fire station facility for report writing or are required to travel to the East Valley Station on Madera Road to fill out and file their paper work and reports '-Phis can save valuable and costly travel time and increase visibility and active policing time in our commun-j._ty. 4. The High Street office pan be manned by a cadet and /or civilians and can be open for approximately 20 hours a week. The staffing of this facility can compliment code enforcement, neighborhood preservation programs, and other City activities. 5. The use of a cadet and .a civilian can free up time for sworn officers to perform traditional law enforcement duties (responding ! :o 911 calls, conducting investigations, responding t emergencies and the enforcement of laws). 6. The High Street office, among other activities, can be used for bicycle licensing and dissemination of bicycle laws information, child finger printing and photographing, community programs, general educational programs, outreach programs, neighborhood watch programs, seat belt and child restraint and safety seat awareness programs, and a convenient office for the dissemination of information for both the business community and the residents of Moorpark, ind a convenient place for the public to obtain police reports. It should be noted that the City has a $3,000 State Grant for a hispanic outreach programs. This and similar programs could be ideally conducted from the of`f i c: it this location.. 7. This office will make available the opportunity for the person -to- person contact between the public and Sheriff's Department personnel wh;ch is important for enhancing public /police relations. This could be further enhanced by the use of a Spanish speaking cadet or civilian during operational hours to cone inue the outreach efforts to the Spanish Speaking commun i - y i ri i t a.ted by the $3,000 State Grant. 8. The High Street office will. make available a convenient and local facility for interviewing witnesses and victims in private (according tc CAA a portion of the facility can be utilized for confidential office space for this purpose) . This will alsc eliminate the need to leave the community (both the publ and Sheriffs Officers) for 6 these purposes which can again add to the important policing time and visibility it the community. 9. Provide a convenient officE for the public and public awareness programs. 10. The use of this facility for a Sheriff's Department store front office would further the City's stated public safety objectives. If approved this will be the first storefront facility of its kind to be operated by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, and the City of Moorpark will be taking the lead in local policing services. Staff suggests that, the details of the use of the facility, if the use as proposed is approved, be finalized and overseen by the Deputy City Manager which will include the basis of the contract with CAA and the Agency, the combined use of the facility by the and Sheriff's Department and CAA, and the approval of the layout of the facilities. RECOMMENDATION• Staff recommends: 1. The Moorpark Redevelopment Agency approve rental with CAA with them fronting costs with the rental terms to be negotiated by staff. 2. The City Council approve- iocat_ion of storefront police facility in conjunction with CAA as described in this report. 3. The City Council defer staffing option and determination of funding sources for rent. and furnishings to be part of 1994/1995 budget adopt.icj,. C:AWP51 \LAW \AGENDA \SGH94051.AGN 7 CA AA A I - May 13, 1994 ATTN: RICHARD HARE, DEPUTY CITY MANAGER CITY OF MOORPARK 799 MOORPARK AVE. MOORPARK, CA 93021 SUBJECT: PROPOSAL TO RENOVATE AND RENT CITY OWNED BUILDING AT 18 HIGH STREET (Revised ( -'osts from March 12, 1994) Dear Mr. Hare, After a more thorough review of the the estimate used in our March 12 letter to you, we found that the apparent low bidder had not included new costs in his revised bid. We submit to you this revised cost estimate from the other bidder and a corrected proposal reflecting the appropriate adjustments for the work scope you determined. We would like to reserve the right to reduce these costs by seeking additional bids. We apoligize for the cost increase from $32,279 to the new figure of $39,278 obtained from the appropriate bid. Pursuant to our proposal to renovate and rent the subject building, the Sheriff's Department has expressed an interest in sharing the space with us. At the City's direction, we have received new estimates for the work, and are submitting for your review this newest revised proposal. As you are aware we received estimates and submitted a proposal to renovate and rent the subject building over 10 months ago. During this past week, we have received revised estimates for the renovation of the building located at 18 High St. These revised estimates were requested due to (1) additional improvements pursuant to a recent meeting with City Staff and the Sheriff's Department to provide City and County needs, and (2) lapsed time rendered the previous estimates invalid. The new estimates are considerably higher than the previous ones Although some of the cost increase is attributed to the larger scope of work, the majority of the increased cost is due to a drastic increase in construction costs since the January earthquake. The increased construction activity, due to the earthquake, has negated the need for contractors to cut their profits (as was evident in the earlier proposals) and caused the price of the same work to climb considerably. Richard Hare May 12,1994 Page 2 To re -cap, the July 1993 estimates were for renovation of the interior, finish work on the exterior, and maintenance of the landscaping around the building. The modifications to the original estimate include the addition of a flag pole, an interior 10' by 9' partition wall, exterior non - illuminated sign, an increase in the amount of landscaping, removal of the bank drive - through window, addition of one more bathroom and installation of new irrigation lines. Renovation of this structure will benefit the City by providing a building that the City will be proud of and be able to rent out for years to come. An enhancement of the appearance of this highly visible corner will also be a plus. The appropriate low bid has been attached with the proposed scope of work. I am sure the City will want to review this scope and determine it's adequacy or if it should be increased or decreased. The Sheriff's Department has expressed interest in placing a limited amount of personnel at the location to provide public information and community assistance. Accommodations for the Sheriff's personnel can be made and the credit to Charles Abbott Associates, for the rental, can be shoes n in the monthly payments. We are aware that the City wants as little involvement as possible in the renovations and that the City is willing to deduct the improvement cost from the rent. An outline of our proposal is as follows. Thi proposal and the actual cost benefit to the City may slightly increase or decrease as we complete the actual improvements and receive final billing, and when we determine the credit from the monthly use of the Sheriff's Department (to be negotiated). Option 1: CAA will pay all renovation costs up front. Upon completion of those improvements and upon occupancy of the building CAA will begin rent payments at the rate of $1.00 /sq. ft. A breakdown of initial costs is shown below. cost Building Renovation (Interior & Exterior) $36,999 Landscaping & Sprinkler System restoration $ 2,229 Water hookup $ 50 Total Rent Credit $39,278 At $1.00 /sq. ft. for 1500 sq. ft. the $39,278 improvement credit will be paid off in 26 months. The remaining $278 of credit will be applied during the 27th month. Thereafter CAA will make payments to the ( ity of * *$1500 /month. This option Richard Hare May 12, 1994 Page 3 assumes that the City is willing to provide site/landscape maintenance during our rental period. Option 2 If the City desires that CAA maintain the landscaping, we propose that the payment be reduced to$.90 per sq. ft. for the 1,500 sq. ft. space. This equates to a **$1,350 monthly payment. The $39,278 credit, discussed in option 1, would be exhausted after 29 months of rent payments and an additional credit of $33.19 will extend into the 30th month. Both options assume that the City will pay for all water bills in addition to exterior sprinkler maintenance and management. CAA will share the responsibility for the remaining utility costs with the Sheriff's department and the City depending on the determined use. We look forward to working with the City for a long time and anticipate this move to be beneficial to both the City and CAA. Please inform us of your decision as we are presently negotiating a new lease with our current landlord. Sincerely, Dirk Lovett Charles Abbott Associates *Any renovation cost not credited to Charles Abbott Associates due to either of the existing Building and Safety or Engineering contracts being canceled or any other occurrences which result in the termination of the rental agreement during the period of rent credit, shall result in a refund by the City to Charles Abbott Associates for the outstanding credit balance. CAA will waive any right to interest if renovation costs are either credited or repaid during the rental credit period. (Estimated at$3300) **This will depend upon the actual space that the Sheriffs Department will require. 0513994Relocate CC: Steve Hayes Charles Abbott Attachments(2) 860 Calle Jon Thousand Oaks, CA 91360 -NI .0e LAN DSC A 1' N G LANDSCAPE PROPOSAL BUILDING AND SAFETY MOORPARK AVE.
