Project Description

The current Orange County Emergency Operations Center (OC EOC) functions are housed in an aging facility located in Loma Ridge, Orange County, California. This project will relocate EOC personnel, equipment, and operational functions to the modernized Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) facility at 1382 Bell Avenue, Tustin, California (APN #430-231-05).

To support this relocation, a new parking structure will be constructed to accommodate the increased parking demand generated by the addition of the EOC

Department and to address the projected long-term parking needs of the existing

1382 Bell Avenue campus operations.

The Project consists of comprehensive site and building infrastructure improvements necessary to support the mission-critical functions of the OC EOC, its resiliency and long-term operational capacity. The scope includes:

1. The construction of the new parking structure, reconfiguration of the site,

2. The expansion and renovation of the existing 1382 Bell Avenue building to accommodate essential EOC operations.

A. Existing Site Description

1. The project site is located at 1382 Bell Avenue, Tustin, California 92780. It is an existing occupied and fully functional OCSD facility; both building and surface parking were renovated in 2022.

2. As the project site will remain occupied throughout demolition and construction, the Design-Build Entity (DBE) must work in close collaboration with both the occupants and OCPW to maintain uninterrupted operations.

Effective coordination will be essential, utilizing tools such as scheduled communications, ongoing updates, and strategic construction phasing to ensure a seamless workflow.

3. The current site provides unsecured visitor parking and secured employees parking:

a) Visitor Parking: located at building front area and open (non-gated); 68 stalls + 1 accessible stall and 1 Van accessible that are not fully compliant, total 70 stalls.

b) 4 bicycle parking (In area open to visitors)

c) Secured Parking: 283 stalls + 3 accessible and 3 Van accessible that are not fully compliant; total 289 stalls.

d) For a total of 359 parking stalls, 4 being accessible and 4 being van accessible; “accessible stalls” have been noted to not be 100% accessible and will minor require updates. compliant and would need to be upgraded to the latest code edition as part of the DBE scope of work.

4. The project building is of construction Type III-B; It was seismically retrofitted in 2022 to comply with ESBSSA requirements.

OCPW & OCSD EOC - TUSTIN PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Page 16 of 172

5. It is currently composed of a +/- 86,705 SQ FT ground floor and of +/- 37,796 SQ

FT partial second floor.

B. Project Major components

1. Construction of a new five-story parking structure providing 520 stalls, designed to be photovoltaic (PV) ready.

2. Reconfiguration of the existing site, including utility relocation, surface parking modifications, circulation improvements, and landscape enhancements.

3. Expansion of the existing building through construction of approximately

17,250 SF of new second-floor EOC space.

4. Renovation of approximately 840 SF of ground-floor storage and associated impacted areas.

5. Upgrade of the existing first-floor mail room to meet enhanced security requirements.

6. Selective infrastructure upgrades, including utilities

7. optional water/sewer storage systems. – DBE to provide line-item cost for this scope.

The Performance Criteria narrative defines the general extent of first-floor demolition required as a result of the EOC scope of work. However, this narrative does not provide a revised first-floor layout. The Design-Build Entity (DBE) shall include in its scope all required demolition and full reconstruction of first-floor areas impacted by the EOC improvements, including adjacent spaces affected by structural, utility, or programmatic modifications.

The project will remove existing above and below ground infrastructure to accommodate the redevelopment suitable for the EOC and OCSD functions.

Demolition may require remediation of hazardous materials. An hazardous report was not available at the time of this report; the DBE is to cooperate with OCPW in its due diligence effort to obtain this necessary document.

The site and building shall remain operational throughout demolition and construction. The DBE shall provide appropriate phasing, protection, and coordination to ensure uninterrupted operations.

C. Resiliency

Expected to mirror the operations currently managed at the Loma Ridge facility, the EOC spaces will have the capacity of operating 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week allowing the facility and staff to:

1. Coordinate county resources more effectively in support of local and state government during disasters, OCPW & OCSD EOC - TUSTIN PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Page 17 of 172

2. Provide training facilities and accommodate local, state agencies in disaster preparation coordination, training, and exercises.

The OC EOC facility space (2nd floor office space and ground floor storage) is an essential service project subject to the requirements of the Essential Services

Buildings Seismic Safety Act (ESBSSA). The existing 1382 Bell Avenue building which will house the EOC office and storage spaces was seismically upgraded to ESBSSA standards in 2022.

The new parking structure is not subject to ESBSSA requirements.

D. Sustainability

As part of the performance criteria programmatic research, the design team consulted with the Orange County Climate Action Plan’s representative (CAP). Due to construction budget constraints, the performance criteria herein do not mandate

Sustainable criteria (except as required by California Building Code, including

CalGreen and T24 (CBC). However, the Design-Build Entity (DBE) is asked to provide line-item pricing for the following:

1. Office/interiors space to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEED) Commercial Interiors v4.1 certification with a target of Silver certification.

2. Office/interiors space to follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental

Design (LEED) Commercial Interiors v4.1 with a target of Silver equivalence without the certification process.

3. Parking structure to achieve Parksmart certification.

4. Refer to Sustainability Criteria Section for additional information.

Aspirations

The Criteria Performance team of architects and engineers conducted a variety of meetings and workshops with Orange County Public Works (OCPW) personnel and

OC EOC and OCSD staff to develop critical success factors and aspirational goals for the project:

A. Construction Quality, Energy Efficiency, and Style Consistency with OCPW A&E

Standards and Existing Facility Standards

The county is committed to excellence in the design and development of the site, parking structure and tenant improvement. Quality as defined per the A&E Guide

(Exhibit B : A-E Guide Final 10_2025) shall be instilled into all aspects of the project. It will begin with an integrated design approach that will incorporate architectural and engineering aesthetics sensitive to the existing environment. This environmental sensitivity shall include providing user friendly indoor conditions and exemplary building components and materials. The resulting design solution and delivered project shall be a high quality, energy efficient facility design and operational systems will be consistent/compatible with the existing infrastructure. The project aims to be cost effective and easily maintained. This is not a public-facing facility with significant visitor traffic, its presence should remain discreet, harmoniously coexisting with the existing infrastructure and departments located on the same site. Please note the following documents, both provided by and outlining design standards for

OCPW & OCSD EOC - TUSTIN PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Page 18 of 172

OCPW facilities:

1. Exhibit C _ OC Workplace Design Guidelines July 2019 Final_091919

2. Exhibit D _ OCCR PARKS RESTROOM FIXTURE GUIDE

3. Exhibit E _ OCSD ERRCS Deployment Guidelines -REV 4.4B

4. Exhibit F _ 5_DHS-ST_EM Technology Recommendations

B. Functional Blend of High-Tech and Low Tech to Serve EOC Roles

The transition of the EOC from the Loma Ridge site to 1382 Bell Ave. Tustin site presents an opportunity to integrate state-of-the-art audiovisual and communications technologies, aligned with the capabilities of the existing OCSD divisions within the same building. At the same time, the design will preserve and support low-tech crisis management methods that have proven efficiency in real-world emergency situations.

C. Working Environment with Dedicated and Shared Support Areas for Emergency

Personnel

Dedicated facilities such as private showers, lockers, bunk areas, wellness rooms, and break rooms will support EOC personnel both during routine operations and at full activation. Quiet indoor respite spaces, along with shared outdoor rest and relaxation areas, will provide additional opportunities for personnel to recharge and maintain well-being to compensate for high pressure work-related situations.

D. Emergency Ready

As a main hub of operations, the project site and buildings should be a beacon of response, projecting a ready to respond environment and effectively carrying out operations as successfully as the Loma Ridge facility has done.

E. Achieve Selective Compliance with Mandatory and Voluntary National Standards for similar facilities

In addition to California building codes and Federal ADA guidelines, the project shall meet a selection of standards as outlined in:

1. Exhibit G_ Exhibit _OC_EOC_Design Considerations_OfflineProgressFile.xls

2. ASTM E2668: Exhibit G-a _ 1_ATSM_E2668_EOC Guide

3. DOD Antiterrorism Minimum Standards: Exhibit G-b _ 3_UFC_Antiterrorism

Facility Specs_Revised 2024 and Exhibit G-c _ 4_ UFC_Resist Forced Entry Specs

4. FEMA: Exhibit G-d _ 2_fema_eoc-quick-reference-guide 2022

5. NFPA 1225

F. Meet the critical OCSD and EOC programming requirements (offices and parking), be code compliant, and be delivered on time and on budget.

CG - Delete, not required.

OCPW & OCSD EOC - TUSTIN PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Page 19 of 172

G. Minimize construction-related disruption:

The site and building must be kept functional during the construction process.

Critical Success Factors

The facility design proposed by the Design Build Entity (DBE) shall meet the functional criteria of these documents and shall be consistent with the aspirational goals listed above.

A. This facility must balance

1. The mission to maximize service to the public and coordination with allied agencies.

2. The need to protect the County’s property and staff.

3. The support of efficient departmental operations.

4. Safety, Security, Resilience:

a) The tenant improvement project must meet ESBSSA requirements, allowing continuous operation during an emergency by being structurally stable, accommodating to the preservation of life, having redundant and backup utility systems.

b) The new parking structure is not required to meet the ESBSSA requirements: The A&E team evaluated the feasibility of designing the structure to be ESBSSA compliant; however, this approach was determined to be unnecessary. The analysis concluded that ESBSSA compliance would add significant cost without providing proportional benefit, as surface parking areas are available to accommodate ESBSSA-designated vehicles. Therefore, the parking structure will be designed and constructed to standard code requirements, ensuring cost efficiency while maintaining adequate parking capacity and operational resilience.

Structural and Parking Exhibit M-b provides parking stall allocations by vehicle type and division, accounting for all division/personnel vehicles required by ESSBA to be located on site rather than within the parking structure.

c) The site is already enclosed and access controlled; it also provides (2) two access points for ingress and egress of vehicles. The future parking structure must also provide a minimum of (2) access points for ingress and egress of vehicles.

B. Additional Parking Capacity

1. Additional Parking Count: The project shall maximize the secure parking for

OCSD and EOC staff. The goal for the new parking structure is to provide 520 parking stalls.

2. EOC priority parking: EOC staff members will not park in the parking structure.

EOC staff members/vehicles (Including fleet vehicles and Control Seven

OCPW & OCSD EOC - TUSTIN PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Page 20 of 172

Vehicle) must have dedicated surface parking spots adjacent to building entries in proximity of their office space.

3. Parking capacity during EOC activation: During full EOC activation, the combined capacity of the surface parking and the new parking structure may not be sufficient to accommodate both EOC volunteer parking needs and the regular demand from the 1382 Bell Avenue facility. To address this shortfall, EOC, OCSD and OCPW are coordinating on the identification of off-site overflow parking options and on the delineation of which departments will be assigned to on-site versus off-site parking. The DBE shall consider this operational requirement when developing site circulation, access controls, and wayfinding strategies, ensuring that overflow parking operations can be supported safely and efficiently during activation periods. EOC Activated

Personnel will have priority parking when EOC is activated.

4. Fleet Vehicles and Dimensionally Demanding Vehicles Accommodation: The parking facilities, both structure and surface, must be designed to accommodate a variety of fleet vehicles. The surface parking must accommodate some vehicles dimensions that exceed standard parking parameters. Exhibit M-b shows an inventory of vehicles, types and allocation and circulation strategies for those specific vehicles.

5. The DBE shall ensure that the parking design—stall layout, clearances, turning radii, and access routes—can accommodate the range of fleet vehicles while maintaining overall operational efficiency and safety. In addition, the design should incorporate flexibility for future needs, including potential changes in the fleet mix, vehicle electrification requirements, and evolving operational demands. Provisions such as adaptable stall configurations, conduit for future

EV charging, and allowance for oversized or specialized vehicles should be considered as part of the baseline design.

C. Design efficiency

1. The project design shall be effective and efficient while allowing flexibility and nimbleness to respond to a disaster. The design should also anticipate the need for incorporation of future technologies, both in infrastructure and equipment.

2. The project should create a maintainable, durable, and sustainable facility, resulting in lower operating and maintenance costs.

3. Specifically for the tenant improvement scope, the project design—including construction types, finishes, and building systems—must be consistent with those of the existing 1382 Bell facility. This alignment is essential to ensure future operational efficiency, simplify maintenance, and support seamless integration with ongoing facility management practices.

4. The project shall thoroughly commission new systems to ensure efficient and reliable operation.

OCPW & OCSD EOC - TUSTIN PERFORMANCE CRITERIA Page 21 of 172

5. The DBE team shall systematically furnish all required warranties, operation and maintenance manuals, record documents, and quickly close out the project with no defects as established by the A-E Guide (See Exhibit B: A-E

Guide Final 10_2025).

6. The project shall meet the functional goals established in these Performance

Criteria, inclusive of the project schedule, and budget set forth by the County of Orange.

7. The DBE shall review and incorporate all possible future mitigation measures as they will be identified in the future EIR (process under CEQA consultant’s purview; CEQA consultant is contracted directly by OCPW). EIR is not yet available at the time of the 100% Performance Criteria Narrative writing.

Key Performance Indicators

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are measurable parameters gauging the project’s support of the aspiration and critical success factors. Each KPI should be defined in terms that support this project’s goals which are:

1. Facility uninterrupted functioning during construction.
