1. INTRODUCTION

Foster City Police Department (FCPD) is issuing this Request for Proposals (RFP) for a

preliminary needs assessment and associated costs with an interior remodel of the

existing Foster City Police Facility located at 1030 E Hillsdale Blvd. The purpose of this

assessment is to evaluate whether the existing facility can be reconfigured to

accommodate the needs of the Department. Additionally, the proposals shall include

preliminary cost estimates for the potential remodel of the existing facility. It shall be

noted that this assessment is to inform a future policy decision and is not intended to

advance design or construction bidding. It shall not include detailed architectural or

engineering design and/or environmental review.

2. FOSTER CITY OVERVIEW

Foster City is located midway between San Francisco and San Jose on the western

shoreline of the San Francisco Bay, east of U.S. 101, which provides convenient access

to the San Francisco Airport and San Francisco to the north and Santa Clara County to

the south. The City is bisected by State Route 92 (the J. Arthur Younger Freeway), which

runs between Half Moon Bay to the west and Highway 880 to the east via the San Mateo-

Hayward Bridge.

Foster City is a "Planned Community", constructed and implemented on the basis of an

organized program of development that was conceived over 30 years ago. The City

encompasses 12,345 acres, of which 9,726 acres are part of San Francisco Bay and

Belmont Slough, and 2,619 acres are reclaimed marshland. This equates to

approximately 4 square miles of land area. Foster City's geography is defined by the San

Francisco Bay to the east and a 218-acre system of man-made lagoons that wind

throughout the City

3. BACKGROUND

Foster City built its first dedicated stand-alone police facility in March 1985. The original

building was approximately 9,061 square feet and one story. Subsequently, the police

facility underwent a major remodel in 2001, including updated interior spaces to meet

the operational needs. Additionally, in 2014, the HVAC system was modernized. Most

recently, a kitchen and bathroom remodel was completed in 2025.

FCPD is organized into two (2) divisions, each led by command staff under the authority

of the Police Chief, including the Patrol Division and the Administrative Services Division.

The FCPD currently has 39 sworn staff and 16 non-sworn, including 7 dispatchers.

FCPD is seeking a high-level assessment of the facility to determine whether it can

accommodate the Department's needs and continue to function through a remodel.

4. SCOPE OF SERVICES

Preliminary Needs Assessment and Cost Estimate

Evaluate the existing Police Facility space, identifying physical and operational issues

related to space quality, layout, and detail. The consultants may request to review the

construction plans/drawings to help prepare for the proposal.

The needs assessment shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

• Conduct one-day interviews with the Police Department representatives to

discuss space needs and inefficiencies in current space.

rooms, 911-PSAP/dispatch center, holding area, break rooms, washrooms,

writing areas, sleep quarters, parking/fleet area, workout room, etc.

• Evaluate the adequacy of spaces in the existing Facility relative to operational

demands.

• Review the condition of the existing Facility, including its physical and structural

limitations that may affect the feasibility of remodeling. (Upon approval of the

agreement, a tour of the facility may be given.)

• Prepare a preliminary cost estimate for a potential remodel of the facility. The

estimate is for planning-level evaluation (not construction bidding)

• Summarize key findings related to facility adequacy and renovation feasibility.

addition to the existing facility.
