SQUARE FEET OF OFFICE SPACE LOCATED AT 1001 MARINA VILLAGE
PARKWAY TO SERVE AS THE ALAMEDA FIRE DEPARTMENT
ADMINISTRATION FACILITY
WHEREAS, the Alameda Fire Department (AFD) currently operates out of facilities that
are outdated, undersized, and no longer meet the operational, safety, and spatial needs of a
modern fire service; and
WHEREAS, the RRM Design Group's Facility Assessment, presented to the City Council
on October 7, 2025, identified Fire Station 1 and the adjacent Fire Administration building as high-
priority facilities in need of significant upgrades to address seismic safety, space limitations, and
operational inefficiencies; and
WHEREAS, a key recommendation of the assessment was to relocate Fire Administration
to allow for the expansion and modernization of Fire Station 1 at its current site; and
WHEREAS, the relocation of Fire Administration will enable the consolidation of currently
dispersed administrative functions—including Fire Prevention, Emergency Operations, and
Emergency Medical Services—into a single facility, thereby improving coordination,
communication, and service delivery; and
WHEREAS, the City has identified a cost-effective and strategically located facility at 1001
Marina Village Parkway, Suite 100, offering approximately 6,944 square feet of office space on
the first floor, suitable for housing Fire Administration; and
WHEREAS, the proposed lease agreement includes a five-year term with a total cost not
to exceed $783,636, inclusive of annual base rent increases of 3% beginning in Year 2, and a
one-time 3% adjustment to the operational expense portion in Year 2, and includes a three-month
rent-free period and early access as early as mid-April 2026; and
WHEREAS, funding for the lease will be provided through a combination of existing lease
allocations in the department's operating budget and Internal Service Fund (ISF) savings, with a
request for additional funding to cover a portion of one-time move-in and setup costs; and
WHEREAS, this action is categorically exempt from further environmental review under
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301
(Existing Facilities) and 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense).
