COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT/CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT FOR CONTRA. CT
SUBJECT: FIRE SERVICES, MCAS TUSTIN
SUM3/ZdRY: Approval is requested for the City to enter an Interim Agreement with the
Department of Navy and an Agreement with the Orange County Fire Authority for the
provisions of fire protection services at closing MCAS Tustin
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
Authorize the City Manager or Assistant City Manager to execute an Interim Cooperative
Agreement between the United States of America (Department of Navy) and the City of Tustin
providing for fire protection services by the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) at closing
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin subject to approval by the City Attorney of any final
agreement, and;
Authorize the City Manager or Assistant City Manager to enter into an Interim Fire Protection
and Emergency Services Agreement between the City of Tustin and OFCA for the OCFA to
provide necessary fire protection services at closing MCAS Tustin, subject to approval by the
City Attorney of any final agreement.
FISCAL IMPACTS
City of Tustin costs associated with the recommended actions will be reimbursed by the Department
of Navy. There are no direct fiscal impacts on the General Fund associated with this action. CiD'
and Redevelopment staff will be responsible for contract administration.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
MCAS Tustin is scheduled for closure on July 2, 1999. The City of Tustin has been authorized bv
the Department of Defense to act as the Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) and is solely
responsible for planning the future civilian reuse of the closing base.
It is the Department of the Navy's intent in closing MCAS Tustin to maximize cost savings in a
manner that will preserve valuable assets and support rapid reuse and redevelopment. Maintenance
of the installation is an important element of the transition from military to civilian reuse. Initial
Cits' Council Report

maintenance levels and their duration are determined in consultation with the LRA and are adjusted
over time as circumstances warrant. The Navy would maintain facilities on a case by case basis until
an individual facility is leased or deed transferred. The Navy would be required to normally sustain
an initial agreed upon level of maintenance at the installation for at least one year after operational
closure or for a longer period subject to approval of the Secretary of the Navy.
The military may fulfill its obligations to maintain the closing base by executing a Cooperative
Agreement with an LRA. The LRA would provide protection, maintenance and service caretaking
on a cost reimbursement basis. The City of Tustin recognized very early that it would be in the
public interest and foster redevelopment if we participated in the protection and maintenance of
MCAS Tus. tin facilities during an interim caretaker period. Therefore, the LRA transmitted a request
to enter into a Cooperative Agreement with the Navy on April 22, 1997. Despite numerous inquiries,
the determination authorizing the Navy to enter into negotiations for a Cooperative Agreement with
the LRA was not proVided to the City of Tustin until March,3, 1999.
Given the lateness in receiving the Navy's authority to negotiate a Cooperative Agreement, the City
only recently received a draft scope of work from the Navy for a comprehensive Cooperative
Agreement to maintain and operate all real property, facilities and infrastructure at MCAS Tustin.
The draft scope of services for fire protection and security services was not provided by the Navy
until May 12, 1999. Despite all best efforts it has been determined that reaching agreement on all
terms and conditions of a comprehensive Cooperative Agreement for all caretaker services at MCAS
Tustin is not possible by July 2, 1999. However, both the Navy and City agree that there is a more
immediate need to provide for continued and uninterrupted provisions of fire' protection and
emergency medical services to MCAS Tustin. Therefore, Tustin has completed an Interim
Cooperative Agreement for the provisions of fire services to MCAS Tustin until a more
comprehensive Cooperative Agreement can be agreed upon and executed by the Navy and City.
The terms and conditions of the Interim Base Caretaker and Cooperative Agreement can be
summarized as follows:
· The Agreement covers a twelve (12) month interim period from July 3, 1999 through July 3,
2000 and can be extended on an annual basis subject to approval by the Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, or terminated with a sixty (60) day notice.
· One-time actual start-up costs of $12,080 will be paid by Navy in advance and estimated annual
operating costs of $322,425 will be paid quarterly in advance.
· A fully equipped fire prevention vehicle will be made available by the Navy at no cost.
· The Navy will provide an office for the fire prevention, support staff at MCAS Tustin, fully
furnished at no cost.
Fire protection and emergency services to MCAS Tustin will be provided by the Orange County
Fire Authority. OCFA intends to service the facility from Station 37 in Tustin and Station 6
located in Irvine. Each facility has available a fully staffed paramedic assessment unit. The
OCFA would also intend having a fire support specialist to provide specialized fire prevention
technical support to the transition from military to civilian use at MCAS Tustin.
An Ancillary Agreement with the OCFA is attached to implement the Cooperative Agreement.
City Council Report
MCAS Tustin Cooperative Agreement/Contract For Fire Protection Services
June 21, 1999
Page 3
Final approval from the Navy of the Cooperative Agreement, and OCFA Board approval of any
agreement with the City has not yet been attained. To ensure that a contract is executed prior to
July 2, 1999, staff requests that the City Council permit the staff the authority to complete any
needed minor corrections to the Agreements subject to approval of all documents by the City
Attorney.
Staff would anticipate bringing an amendment to the Interim Cooperative Agreement to the City
Council in July for provision of security services to be followed by a more comprehensive
Cooperative Agreement for other services as soon as possible. Staff anticipates soliciting private
contractor proposals for remaining needed caretaker services.

REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
FOR MARINE CORPS AIR STATION TUSTIN
THIS INTERIM BASE CARETAKER COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (hereinafter
referred to as the Agreement) is made and entered into this Day of
,, 1999, by and between the United States Of America, as represented by the
Southwest Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (hereinafter referred to as
the Navy) and the City of Tustin, the designated Local Redevelopment Agency for
Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, a municipal corporation duly organized under the laws
of the State of Califomia (hereinafter referred to as the Caretaker)
RECITALS
A. The Federal Government, for and on behalf of the citizens of the United States of
America, acts as the steward of certain real property on which it maintains and operates
military facilities and military bases necessary for the defense of the United States of
America. The Federal Govemment has determined that the continued maintenance and
operation of certain military bases throughout the Nation are no longer necessary to
achieve the national defense objectives of the United States. Therefore, the Federal
Govemment has directed and authorized the United States Department of Defense to
deactivate and close a select number of military bases and to coordinate and administer
the systematic disposition of both real and personal base property for civilian reuse
purposes.
B. The Federal Government has further determined that the Marine Corps Air Station,
Tustin, California (hereinafter referred to as MCAS Tustin) is one of the aforementioned
military bases which is to be deactivated, closed, and ultimately converted to civilian
reuse. The MCAS Tustin is scheduled to be closed on July 3, 1999.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PAGE'- 1
C. The Federal Government has determined that it is in the public interest, and v'ill be
of benefit for the Caretaker to participate in the operation, maintenance an protection of
the MCAS Tustin facilities pending the final disposition of the base. Early experience
with operation and maintenance of the base is of value to the local community as such
local participation serves to ease the transitional process associated with converting the
base from military use to civilian reuse. This arrangement will allow the caretaker to
participate in determining the nature and extent of services required to successfully
operate, maintain and protect MCAS Tustin facilities.
D. The terms and conditions necessary for the adequate operation, maintenance, and
protection of the MCAS Tustin following closure and pending final disposition are to be
governed by a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement between the Navy
and the Caretaker.
E. However, the terms and conditions of a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement between the Navy and the Caretaker have not been entirely agreed upon, and
timely execution of a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement by the July
3, 1999, base closure date is not possible. Consequently, regardless of military
withdrawal from the base on the July 3, 1999, base closure date and the lack of an
executed, operational Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement, the Navy bears the sole
legal obligation for the continued and uninterrupted provision of certain services to
MCAS Tustin before, on, and after the July 3, 1999, base closure date (in the absence of
a fully executed Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement otherwise providing for certain
services such as fire protection and emergency medical services)
F. Therefore, the Navy and the Caretaker desire to enter into this Agreement for the
purpose of establishing the continued and uninterrupted provisions of certain services to
the geographical area comprising the MCAS Tustin during the interim period following
base closure and military withdrawal, until a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement providing for the provision of such services can be agreed upon and executed
by the Navy and the Caretaker.
G. The Navy has determined that the financial resources available to the Caretaker
for economic adjustment are inadequate pursuant to the section 2905 (A) (I) (B) (I) of
public law 101-510.
H. This Interim Agreement is a Cooperative Agreement within the meaning of 31
U.S.C. Section 6305.
I. The Navy and the Caretaker are entering into this Agreement for the purpose of
establishing the terms and conditions necessary for the adequate operation protection and
maintenance of certain facilities and services on the base pending final disposition.
J. Subject to the availability of appropriations, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
caretaker services under the terms, of this Agreement shall be for not less than one (1)

TECHNICAL EXECUTION PLAN
1999
I. Back~round
It is the intent of the Caretaker to perform the cooperative Caretaker function through
utilization of public and private sector subcontractors.
The Caretaker is governed by an elected City Council which includes five at-large
Councilmembers who serve on a part-time basis. The City Council is responsible for all
matters pertaining to the governance of the City. Executing the policies set by the City
Council is the responsibility of the City Manager. The City Manager is hired by the City
Council and is a full-time professional staff position responsible for the day-to-day
administration of City business. The City'Manager and City Attorney report directly to the
City Council..
The Tustin Assistant City Manager will be the prime point of contact for overall
implementation of this Interim Agreement. This position has supervisory staff and line
personnel to perform necessary tasks from City operating departments. An organizational
chart is attached as Exhibit 2-1. The City also reserves the right to utilize a qualified
facility/contract management contractor for execution.
All employees of the Caretaker will be covered by the City of Tustin Personnel Policies.
These policies are available for review by the Navy upon request. The policies set forth the
expected measures of conduct, terms of employment, employee benefits, procedure for
disciplinary action, and other personnel procedures.
II. Proposed Requirements and Rationale
A. Proposed Method of Accomplishment
The Caretaker currently contracts for fire protection and emergency medical sen'ices
with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). The Caretaker would subcontract for
the performance of fire protection and emergency medical services component of this
agreement with OCFA.
B. OCFA Overview
The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) serves more than one million residents
in 20 partner cities and the unincorporated areas of Orange County. They provide
fire protection and emergency services and participate in the California Mutual Aid
Master Plan for use and assignment of resources for daily operations, and in the
event of major emergencies. They also provide aircraft rescue firefighting services
by contract to John Wayne Airport.
The Orange County Fire Authority was formed March 1, 1995 and is govemed by
a 21 member Board comprised of representatives from the 19 cities it protects and
the Orange County Board of Supervisors. The Orange County Fire Authority
serves the following communities.

OCFA is managed by an appointed fire chief, a deputy fire chief, and four assistant
chiefs who oversee four departments (see Exhibit 2-2).
C. Concept of Operations
1. General Scope
a. The OCFA shall provide to MCAS Tustin the following services:
1) Fire suppression;
2) Emergency medical response;
3) Fire prevention and inspection services;
4) Rescue;
5) Hazardous materials response;
b.
6) Fire investigation.
The services provided by the OCFA to MCAS Tustin under this Interim
Agreement expressly exclude the following:
1) Central monitoring of existing fire alarms;
2) Fire protection system maintenance and repair;
3) Ambulance transportation;
Co
4) Weed abatement.
Ambulance transportation services.to MCAS Tustin shall be provided
separately pursuant to an existing contract between the City of Tustin and
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 2
do
eo
Doctor's Ambulance Service. Ambulance dispatch and related sen, ices
shall also be performed by 0CFA to MCAS Tustin.
During the performance of this Interim Agreement, issues relative to fire
and life safety mandates and requirements for existing structures and
facilities, including their occupancies, within MCAS Tustin may arise due
to differences between federal, state, and local requirements (e.g., issues
relating to fuel facilities, fire protection water, combustible gas mitigation,
fire hazard impacts, hazardous materials storage and use, vacant buildings,
etc.). Such mandates and requirements may require replacement,
reconstruction, and/or relocation of structures or operations. Costs
associated with the aforementioned additional workload may necessitate
the performance of additional services which have not been provided for
under this Interim Agreement. Should such additional issues arise during
the performance of this Interim Agreement, the parties agree that such
issues are not within the scope of the services provided under this
Agreement and that the costs of such additional services shall be
separately negotiable.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the level of services provided to
MCAS Tustin under this Interim Agreement shall be the same as the level
of similar services provided by the OCFA elsewhere within its
jurisdictional boundaries. Any changes to such levels and method of
service shall be discussed with the Navy and determined in consultation
with the Caretaker and OCFA Fire Chief, who shall supervise the services
provided pursuant to this Interim Agreement, and who is designated as the
interim MCAS Tustin Fire Chief and Fire Marshal.

For purposes of liaison, the OCFA Fire Chief is the designated
subcontractor representative of the Caretaker who will be primarily
responsible for the provision of services pursuant to the Interim
Agreement. The Fire Chief or his designee shall meet with the Officer in
Charge of the Caretaker Site Office at least quarterly or as more frequently
requested by the Caretaker or Officer in Charge.
bo
The Caretaker and Officer in Charge of the Caretaker Site Office will be
promptly notified of the following events occurring within MCAS Tustin.
1) Major fire;
2) Any fire fatality;
3) Major hazardous material response;
4) Response-related injury to any firefighter;
5) Other incidents designated by Caretaker or Officer in Charge of the
Caretaker Site Office.
Operations and Services Profile
a. Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services.
MCAS Tustin operated two fire stations at the base. These fire stations
will be closed, and there will be no military fire suppression and
emergency response units remaining, at. the facility with base closure.
Upon closure, there will be a need to protect property including assets
left at the base.
OCFA's jurisdiction is divided up into four major geographical areas
known as Divisions, each under the command of a Division Chief.
Each division is' divided into several battalions under the command of
Battalion Chiefs. Within the battalions are the fire stations that provide
regional emergency response coverage, Basic Life Support (BLS)
including paramedic Advanced Life Support (ALS), specialized
Hazardous Materials Response, Urban Search and Rescue (US&R), and
Swift Water Rescue teams.
OCFA has determined that existing adjacent Fire Station No. 6 at 3180
Barranca Parkway, Irvine, and Fire Station No. 37 at 14901 Red Hill
Ave, Tustin will be able to provide the additional fire suppression and
emergency medical response required during the Interim Agreement.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 4
Both fire stations operate a Paramedic Assessment Unit (PAU)
comprised of a 3 person Engine Company with a Captain, an Engineer,
and a Firefighter/Paramedic. Fire Station No. 6 also operates a 4 person
Technical Rescue Truck Company. Each company works on a pre-
arranged 24-hour shift schedule for coverage 365 days a year. Career
personnel, not trained as paramedics, are State certified Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMT's) with certification in automatic external
defibrillation. A PAU is a first response'Basic Life Support (BLS)
company that is upgraded to Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities
by designating one position on the company to a paramedic position
and adding required supplies and equipment. Enhanced patient care is
accomplished an earlier advanced level of assessment, which means a
plan of care can be formulated and instituted earlier. If a situation
demands a full ALS response, an additional paramedic unit is
dispatched which adds an extra paramedic to the call.
Response standards for service have three basic' components: (1)
time/distance; (2) staffing; and (3) skills/equipment. Time and distance
standards consist of how long it takes to get resources to a call.
Dispatch time to a station is calculated at 30 seconds. One minute is
allowed to receive the information at the station, put on safety
equipment, and prepare to respond (known as turnout time). Distance
to a call is calculated based on the travel route and normally expressed
as the response time, given in minutes. Driving time incorporates the
speed limit over some distance. For instance, a 5-minute response time
for basic life support equates to approximately 2.04 miles traveling at
an average of 35 miles per hour. The final three and one half minutes is
the actual driving time that is used to calculate the distance.
Staffing standards equate to how many personnel are needed for a
particular type of emergency. For example, an emergency medical
service call requires a minimum of three personnel to provide basic life
support (BLS). Advanced life ~support (ALS) requires four or more
personnel of which two are paramedics. All emergency response
personnel are Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certified which
allows them to provide basic life support. Paramedics provide
Advanced Life Support. Truck companies carry equipment and
personnel necessary to perform rescue, ventilation, forcible entry, and
salvage work. Engine companies primarily focus on fire suppression
and EMS activities.
While OCFA does not staff ambulances or charge fees for responding
to an emergency call, through a contract administration process, it has
responsibility to ensure that reliable, high quality ambulance services
are provided on an uninterrupted basis, consistent with clinical and
response time standards for. Ambulance Service Areas (ASA) served by
the OCFA. If a medical emergency requires a patient to be transported
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 5
to a hospital, the approved.commercial private ambulance company for
the ASA transports and bills the patient. OCFA receives
reimbursement for paramedic supplies cost through the ambulance
service contract.
A typical fire structure response requires 3 engine companies, one truck
company, a paramedic unit, and one Battalion Chief to be sent to the
initial assignment. When the first unit arrives on scene, their initial task
is to evaluate the situation, secure the water supply, initiate necessary
evacuations of the area, place hose lines, facilitate forcible entry if
necessary, deploy ladders, establish tools and equipment pool, and
secure utilities. After the second responding units arrive on scene, they
report to the incident commander, obtain-status of the incident, and
receive assignment allowing full response capabilities to occur.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and
California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA)
have stiffened requirements related to firefighter safety in the
workplace. Specifically, Cal OSHA has adopted 29 CFR 1.910.138
Respiratory Standards. Within the standard are requirements that state
for every two or more firefighters working in an Immediately
Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) situation, there must be a
minimum of two outside the IDLH prepared to rescue those working in
an IDLH (four persons on scene). The common phrase used to refer to
this requirement is "Two In, Two Out". All fire agencies in California
must comply with the rule by May 22, 1999.
What determines service demand are a variety of factors including
densities, occupancy type, circulation, topography, access, and
population. Also included are risk factors such as building types,
availability of built-in fire protection, etc. OCFA's goal is for the first-
in engine company to arrive on-scene within 5 minutes, 80 percent of
the time. The first-in paramedic company goal is to arrive on-scene
within 8 minutes, 90 percent of the time.
While there are no fire suppression and emergency medical response
units to be asSigned on base, it is through OCFA's larger regional
system, involving depth of resources and strategic allocation of assets,
that an enhanced level of service will be provided. This translates into
quality and strength. It enables the use of existing resources on a
broader scale, and maximizes the use of all emergency and support
resources within the department, regardless of jurisdictional boundaries
or physical location. These service enhancements include a move-up
and cover program, truck company service, a Battalion Chief on duty
24-hours a day, a computer aided dispatch system with computers in
each apparatus, emergency medical dispatch, and a large reserve fleet,
all part of the regional system and included in the budget.

b. Emergency Communications
The existing communications systems used to deliver emergency
dispatch information to fire safety personnel at MCAS Tustin is
outdated and not compatible with the system utilized by OCFA. While
there are computers at MCAS Tustin stations, they are not tied into the
dispatch process. The existing dispatch system is fundamentally an
obsolete manual system.'
OCFA's system consists of a fully automated Computer Aided
Dispatch System (CAD). Dispatchers enter call information, the
computer selects the closest available unit based upon the last known
status and location. Call information is sent via telephone line to the
fire station printer and via the radio system to the Mobile Data
Terminal in the fire engine.

INTERIM COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION TUSTIN
BUDGETARY ESTIMATE PLAN
1999
Introduction
The budgetary estimate provided reflects the minimum level of fire protection required to protect
assets, resources, and persons at MCAS Tustin during an interim period upon closure. OCFA
and the Caretaker are able to accomplish this level of fire protection due to the size, depth of
resources, strategic station locations, use of technology, and effective operations and
management. The proposed costs are not negotiable because the methodology applied is
consistent with the Caretaker's and OCFA's policy to recover costs to provide services.
The budgetary estimate reflects the following assumptions:
Annual costs to provide services are based upon the Caretaker's and OCFA's fiscal year
1999/2000 which begins July 1, 1999, and ends June 30, 2000, and will be updated in
each subsequent fiscal year;
· An office will be provided to OCFA on a no-cost basis, including furniture, fixtures and
equipment for a fully-operational fire prevention office;
· A fully-operational and equipped fire prevention vehicle will be made available by the
Navy to OCFA at no cost;
Existing communication systems at MCAS Tustin are not compatible with the system
utilized by OCFA, necessitating that OCFA provide .certain communication and
information services and equipment identified in the budgetary estimate;
A Fire Safety Specialist II position is included for 12 months to identify, evaluate and
monitor fire prevention requirements and conditions at the base. Information services
equipment is included to support the position. Costs for the position include labor
(salaries and benefits), services and supplies, and OCFA support services to the position,
including finance/administration, technical services and communication departments. The
job description for the position is identified in appendix 2 - page 9.
A methodology used for emergency costs reflect the actually fully-burdened company
costs associated with providing services and is based on the premise that there are three
direct service components:
Direct service components, which include company labor and support labor
for operations;
Direct services and supplies costs within the budget which directly benefit
operations;
Support services includes overhead support including finance/administration,
technical services, and communications departments.
· Using 1999 response data provided by the Navy, OCFA has projected a 16% increase in
responses associated with assumption of services at MCAS Tustin. They then took 16%
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 3 PAGE 1
of a fully burdened company cost for a PAU to arrive at a cost for providing services
upon closure. The current fully burdened cost for a PAU is $1,392,263.
The methodology for Caretaker Administration does not include direct labor at this time
but support services from the City of Tustin based on the City's adopted cost allocation
plan, including overhead support for general administration, 'finance, audit, self-
insurance.
· Exhibit 3-1 identifies all identified costs that shall incur in execution of this function.
Purchasin~ System or Methods
All purchases of equipment or materials identified in the Budgetary Estimate will be procured
through OCFA procurement procedures which reflect applicable state and local laws and
regulations.
Payment for Services
me
As consideration for the services, the Navy shall pay to the Caretaker a one-time start up
cost in the sum of $12,083 and annual operating costs not to exCeed $322,425, due and
payable, in advance thereafter, in quarterly installments not to exceed $80,606.25.
Be
With respect to establishing service, the Navy shall pay the Caretaker an initial payment
of $92,689.25 before July 3, 1999. The aforementioned initial payment to the Navy to
the Caretaker reflects the one-time start up cost in the amount of $12,083 and the first
quarterly installment payment for the annual operating costs in the sum of $80,606.25.
Subsequent quarterly installments shall be paid by Navy without prior notice or demand,
and without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction.
Ce
All payments due the Caretaker shall be paid at the beginning ofeach quarter, in advance
(e.g., second quarter which includes October, November, December will be due and
payable by September 30, 1999).
Other Issues and Impacts on the Budgetary Estimate
During the performance of this Interim Agreement, issues relative to fire and life safety
mandates and requirements for existing structures and facilities, including their occupancies,
within MCAS Tustin may arise due to differences between federal, state, and local requirements
(e.g., issues relating' to fuel facilities, fire protection water, combustible gas mitigation, fire
hazard impacts, hazardous materials storage and use, vacant buildings, etc.).
Costs associated with the aforementioned additional workload may necessitate the performance
of additional services which have not been provided with the budgetary estimate. Should such
additional issues arise during the performance of this Interim Agreement, the parties agree that
such issues are not within the scope of the services provided under this Interim Agreement and
that the costs of such additional services shall be separately negotiable.

FOR MARINE CORPS AIR STATION TUSTIN
THIS INTERIM BASE CARETAKER COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT (hereinafter
referred to as the Agreement) is made and entered into this Day of
,1999, by and between the United States Of America, as represented by the
Southwest Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (hereinafter referred to as
the Navy) and the City of Tustin, the designated Local Redevelopment Agency for
Marine Corps Air Station Tustin, a municipal corporation duly organized under the laws
of the State of California (hereinafter referred to as the Caretaker)
RECITALS
A. The Federal Government, for and on behalf of the citizens of the United States of
America, acts as the steward of certain real property on which it maintains and operates
military facilities and military bases necessary for the defense of the United States of
America. The Federal Government has determined that the continued maintenance and
operation of certain military, bases throughout the Nation are no longer necessary to
achieve the national defense objectives of the United States. Therefore, the Federal
Government has directed and authorized the United. States Department of Defense to
deactivate and close a select number of military bases and to coordinate and administer
the systematic disposition of both real and personal base property for civilian reuse
purposes.
B. The Federal Government has further determined that the Marine Corps Air Station,
Tustin, California (hereinafter referred to as MCAS Tustin) is one of the aforementioned
military bases which is to be deactivated, closed, and ultimately .converted to civilian
reuse. The MCAS Tustin is scheduled to be closed on July 3, 1999.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PAGE- 1
C. The Federal Government has determined that it is in the public interest, and will be
of benefit for the Caretaker to participate in the operation, maintenance an protection of
the MCAS Tustin facilities pending the final disposition of-the base. Early experience
with operation and maintenance of the base is of value to the local community as such
local participation serves to ease the transitional process associated with converting the
base from military use to civilian reuse. This arrangement will allow the caretaker to
participate in determining the nature and extent of services required to successfully
operate, maintain and protect MCAS Tustin facilities.
D. The terms and conditions necessary for the adequate operation, maintenance, and
protection of the MCAS Tustin following closure and pending final disposition are to be
governed by a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement between the Navy
and the Caretaker.
E. However, the terms and conditions of a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement between the Navy and the Caretaker have not been entirely agreed upon, and
timely execution of a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement by the July
3, 1999, base closure date is not possible. Consequently, regardless of military
withdrawal from the base on the July 3, 1999, base closure date and the lack of an
executed, operational Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement, the .Navy bears the sole
legal obligation for the continued and uninterrupted provision of certain services to
MCAS Tustin before, on, and after the July 3, 1999, base closure date (in the absence of
a fully executed Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement otherwise providing for certain
services such as fire protection and emergency medical services)
F. Therefore, the Navy and the Caretaker desire to enter into this Agreement for the
purpose of establishing the continued and uninterrupted provisions of certain services to
the geographical area comprising the MCAS Tustin during the interim period following
base closure and military withdrawal, until a comprehensive Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement providing for the provision of such services can be agreed upon and executed
by the Navy and the Caretaker.
G. The Navy has determined that the financial resources available to the Caretaker
for economic adjustment are inadequate pursuant to the section 2905 (A) (I) (B) (I) of
public law 101-510.
H. This Interim Agreement is a Cooperative Agreement within the meaning of 31
U.S.C. Section 6305.
I. The Navy and the Caretaker are entering into this 'Agreement for the purpose of
establishing the terms and conditions necessary for the adequate operation protection and
maintenance of certain facilities and services on the base pending final disposition.
J. Subject to the availability of appropriations, it is the intent of the parties hereto that
caretaker services under the terms of this Agreement shall be for not less than one (1)

to differences between federal, state, and local requirements (e.g., issues
relating to fuel facilities, fire protection water, combustible gas mitigation,
fire hazard impacts, hazardous materials storage and use, vacant buildings,
etc.).. Such mandates and requirements may require replacement,
reconstruction, and/or relocation of structures or operations. Costs
associated with the aforementioned additional workload may necessitate
the performance of additional services which have not been provided for
under this Interim Agreement. Should such additional issues-arise during
the performance of this Interim Agreement, the parties agree that such
issues are not within the scope of the services provided under this
Agreement and that the costs of such additional services 'shall be
separately negotiable.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the level of services provided to
MCAS Tustin under this Interim Agreement shall be the same as the level
of similar services provided by the OCFA elsewhere within its
jurisdictional boundaries. Any changes to such levels and method of
service shall be discussed with the Navy and determined in consultation
with the Caretaker and OCFA Fire Chief, who shall supervise the services
provided pursuant to this Interim Agreement, and who is deSignated as the
interim MCAS Tustin Fire Chief and Fire Marshal.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 3
2. Administration
o
ao
For purposes of liaison, the OCFA Fire Chief is the designated
subcontractor representative of the Caretaker who will be primarily
responsible for the provision of services pursuant to the Interim
Agreement. The Fire Chief or his designee shall meet with the Officer in
Charge of the Caretaker Site Office at least quarterly or as more frequently
requested by the Caretaker or Officer in Charge.
b.
The Caretaker and Officer in Charge of the Caretaker Site Office will be
promptly notified of the following events occurring within MCAS Tustin.'
1) Major fire;
2) Any fire fatality;
3) Major hazardous material response;
4) Response-related injury to any firefighter;
5) Other incidents designated by Caretaker or Officer in Charge of the
-. Caretaker Site Office.
Operations and Services Profile
a. Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services.
MCAS Tustin operated two fire stations at the base. These fire stations
will be closed, and there will be no military fire suppression and
emergency response units remaining at the facility with base closure.
Upon closure, there will be a need to protect property including assets
left at the base.
OCFA's jurisdiction is divided up into four major geographical areas
known as Divisions, each under the command of a Division Chief.
Each division is divided into several battalions under the command of
Battalion Chiefs. Within the battalions are the fire stations that provide
regional emergency response coverage, Basic Life Support (BLS)
including paramedic Advanced Life Support (ALS), specialized
Hazardous Materials Response, Urban Search and Rescue (US&R), and
Swift Water Rescue teams.
OCFA has determined that existing adjacent Fire Station No. 6 at 3180
Barranca' Parkway, Irvine, and Fire Station No. 37 at 14901 Red Hill
Ave, Tustin will be able to provide the additional fire suppression and
emergency medical response required during the Interim Agreement.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 4
Both fire stations operate a Paramedic Assessment Unit (PAU)
comprised of a 3 person Engine Company with a Captain, an Engineer,
and a Firefighter/Paramedic. Fire Station No. 6 also operates a 4 person
Technical Rescue Truck Company. Each company works on a pre-
arranged 24-hour shift schedule for coverage 365 days a year. Career
personnel, not trained as paramedics, are State certified Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMT's) with certification in automatic external
defibrillation. A PAU is a first response Basic Life Support (BLS)
company that is upgraded to Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities
by designating one position on the company to a paramedic position
and adding required supplies and equipment. Enhanced patient care is
accomplished an earlier advanced level of assessment, which means a
plan of care can be formulated and instituted earlier. If a situation
demands a full ALS response, an additional paramedic unit is
dispatched which adds an extra paramedic to the call.
Response standards for service have three basic components: (1)
time/distance; (2) staffing; and (3) skills/equipment. Time and distance
standards consist of how long it takes, to get resources to a call.
Dispatch time to a station is calculated at 30 seconds. One minute is
allowed to receive the information at the station, put on safety
equipment, and prepare to respond (known as turnout time). Distance
to a call is calculated based on the travel route and normally expressed
as the response time, given in minutes. Driving time incorporates the
speed limit over some distance. For instance, a 5-minute response time
for basic life support equates to approximately 2.04 miles traveling at
an average of 35 miles per hour. The final three and one half minutes is
the actual driving time that is used to calculate the distance.
Staffing standards equate to how many personnel are needed for a
particular type of emergency. For example, an emergency medical
service call requires a minimum of three personnel to provide basic life
support (BLS). Advanced life support (ALS) requires four or more
personnel of which two are paramedics. All emergency response
personnel are Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certified which
allows them to provide basic life support. Paramedics provide
Advanced Life Support. Truck companies carry equipment and
personnel necessary to perform rescue, ventilation, forcible entry, and
salvage work. Engine companies primarily focus on fire suppression
and EMS activities.
While OCFA does not staff ambulances or charge fees for responding
to an emergency call, through a contract administration process, it has
responsibility to ensure that reliable, high quality ambulance services
are provided on an uninterrupted basis, consistent with clinical and
response time standards for Ambulance Service Areas (ASA) served by
the OCFA. If a medical emergency requires a patient to be transported
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 5
to a hospital, the approved commercial private ambulance company for
the ASA transports and bills the patient. OCFA receives
reimbursement for paramedic supplies cost through the ambulance
service contract.
A typical fire structure response requires 3 engine companies, one truck
company, a paramedic unit, and one Battalion Chief to be sent to the
initial assignment. When the first unit arrives on scene, their initial task
is to evaluate the situation, secure the water supply, initiate necessary
evacuations of the area, place hose lines, facilitate forcible entry if
necessary, deploy ladders, establish tools and equipment pool, and
secure utilities. After the second responding units arrive on scene, they
report to the incident commander, obtain status of the incident, and
receive assignment allowing full response capabilities to occur.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and
California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA)
have stiffened requirements related to firefighter safety in the
workplace. Specifically, Cal OSHA has adopted 29 CFR 1910.138
Respiratory Standards. Within the standard are requirements that state
for every two or more firefighters working in an Immediately
Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) situation, there must be a
minimum of two outside the IDLH prePared to rescue those working in
an IDLH (four persons on scene). The common phrase used to refer to
this requirement is "Two In, Two Out".'All fire agencies in California
must comply with the rule by May 22, 1999.
What determines service demand are a variety of factors including
densities, occupancy type, circulation, topography, access, and
population. Also included are risk factors such as building types,
availability of built-in fire protection, etc. OCFA's goal is for the first-
in engine company to arrive on-scene within 5 minutes, 80 percent of
the time. The first-in paramedic company goal is to arrive on-scene
within 8 minutes, 90 percent of the time.
While there are no fire suppression and emergency medical response
units to be assigned on base, it is through OCFA's larger regional
system, involving depth of resources and strategic allocation of assets,
that an enhanced level of service will be provided. This translates into
quality and strength. It enables the use of existing resources on a
broader scale, and maximizes the use of all emergency and support
resources within the department, regardless of jurisdictional boundaries
or physical location. These service enhancements include a move-up
and cover program, truck company service, a Battalion Chief on duty
24-hours a day, a computer aided dispatch system with computers in
each apparatus, emergency medical dispatch, and a large reserve fleet,
all part of the regional system and included in the budget.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 6
b. Emergency Communications
The existing, communications systems used to deliver emergency
dispatch information to fire safety personnel at MCAS Tustin is
outdated and not compatible with the system utilized by OCFA. While
there are computers at MCAS Tustin stations, they are not tied into the
dispatch process. The existing dispatch system is fundamentally an
obsolete manual system..
OCFA's system consists of a fully automated Computer Aided
Dispatch System (CAD). Dispatchers enter call information, the
computer selects the closest available unit based upon the last knovm
status and locatiOn. Call information is sent via telephone line to the
fire station printer and via the radio system to the Mobile Data
Terminal in the fire engine.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 7
c. Fire Prevention
Unlike the need for continuing emergency response capabilities, the
Interim Agreement status will require one-time costs for a full-time Fire
Prevention position recommended on a limited term basis for one year.
This position has been identified at the Fire Safety Specialist ii level
and will be responsible for providing initial risk assessment and
analysis of existing life safety issues and systems. This includes
reviewing water improvements plans (hydrant and fire flow
information), inspecting and testing fire sprinklers, water distribution
systems, fire alarms, and other fire protection systems, analyzing
existing inspection and plan review reports, procedures and policies,
and documenting inspection findings and activities. This position will
also be responsible for daily inspections of buildings and evaluation of
compliance with applicable fire codes and regulations.
Emergency response staff do not have the depth of training, education
or experience to conduct inspections for other than routine fire and life
safety systems. Since emergency response will be provided from Fire
Stations No. 6 and Fire Station No. 37 located off base, the Fire Safety
Specialist will also have to prepare documentation for responding units
on area plans and building layouts to identify type and location of fire
department connections and to document hazards and response .needs
related to the water supply system and buildings. This position will
also document the location of hydrants, verify equipment capabilities,
and verify flow testing. Other responsibilities include inspecting
buildings for general housekeeping, verify fire extinguisher service,
review sprinkler service, maintenance, and built-in or portable
extinguishing systems, hydrostatic testing, and maintenance of existing
inspection files.
In discussions with the Caretaker and Navy, there is a possibility that
some utilities may be severed upon operational closure. That increased
risk only reinforces the need to have complete knowledge of all
activities associated with facilities and systems located at the base. A
full time Fire Safety Specialist Staff will assist in reducing some of the
potential risks associated with liability and loss.
de
Equipment and Materials Required
1)
A portion of Building 516 or other location acceptable to the

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION TUSTIN
BUDGETARY ESTIMATE PLAN
1999
Introduction
The bu,dgetary estimate provided reflects the minimum level of fire protection required to protect
assets, resources, and persons at MCAS Tustin during an interim period upon closure. OCFA
and the Caretaker are able to accomplish this level of fire protection due to the size, depth of
resources, strategic station locations, use of technology, and effective operations and
management. The proposed costs are not negotiable because the methodology applied is
consistent with the Caretaker's and OCFA's policy to recover costs to provide services.
The budgetary estimate reflects the following assumptions:
Annual costs to provide serviCes are based upon the Caretaker's and OCFA's fiscal year
1999/2000 which begins July !, 1999, and ends June 30, 2000, and will be updated in
each subsequent fiscal year;
· An office will be provided to OCFA on a no-cost basis, including furniture, fixtures and
equipment for a fully-operational fire prevention office;
· A fully-operational and equipped fire prevention vehicle will be made available by the
Navy to OCFA at no cost;
Existing communication systems at MCAS Tustin are not compatible with the system
utilized by OCFA, necessitating that OCFA provide certain communication and
information services and equipment identified in the budgetary estimate;
A Fire Safety Specialist II position is included for 12 months to identify, evaluate and
monitor fire prevention requirements 'and conditions at the base. Information services
equipment is included to support the position. Costs for the position include labor
(salaries and benefits), services and supplies, and OCFA support services to the position,
including finance/administration, technical services and communication departments. The
job description for the position is identified in appendix 2 - page 9.
A methodology used for emergency costs reflect the actually fully-burdened company
costs associated with providing services and is based on the premise that there are three
direct service components:
Direct service components, which include company labor and support labor
for operations;
Direct services and supplies costs within the budget which directly benefit
operations;
Support services includes overhead support including finance/administration,
technical services, and communications departments.
· Using 1999 response data provided by the Navy, OCFA has projected a 16% increase in
responses associated with assumption of services at MCAS Tustin. They then took 16%
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 3 PAGE 1
of a fully burdened company cost for a PAU to arrive at a cost for providing services
upon closure. The current fully burdened cost for a PAU is $1,392,263.
The methodology for Caretaker Administration does not include direct labor at this time
but support services from the City of Tustin based on the City's adopted cost allocation
plan, including overhead support for general administration, finance, audit, self-
insurance.
· Exhibit 3-1 identifies all identified costs that shall incur in execution of this function.
Purchasing System or Methods
All purchases of equipment or materials identified in the Budgetary Estimate will be procured
through OCFA procurement procedures which reflect applicable state and local laws and
regulations.
Payment for Services
mo
As consideration for the services, the Navy shall pay to the Caretaker a one-time start up
cost in the sum of $12,083 and annual operating costs not to exceed $322,425, due and
payable, in advance thereafter, in quarterly installments not to exceed $80,606.25.
Bo
With respect to establishing service, the Navy shall pay the Caretaker an.initiaI payment
of $92,689.25 before July 3, 1999. The aforementioned initial payment to the Navy to
the Caretaker reflects the one-time start up cost in the amount of $12,083 and the first
quarterly installment payment for the annual operating costs in the sum of $80,606.25.
Subsequent quarterly installments shall be paid by Navy without prior notice or demand,
and without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction.
Co
All payments due the Caretaker shall be paid at the beginning of each quarter, in advance
(e.g., second quarter which includes October, November, December will be due and
payable by September 30, 1999).
Other Issues and Impacts on the Budgetary_ Estimate
During the performance of this Interim Agreement, issues relative to fire and life safety
mandates and requirements for existing structures and facilities, including their occupancies,
within MCAS Tustin may arise due to differences between federal, state, and local requirements
(e.g., issues relating to fuel facilities, fire protection water, combustible gas mitigation, fire
hazard impacts, hazardous materials storage and use, vacant buildings, etc.).
Costs associated with the aforementioned additional workload may necessitate the performance
of additional services which have not been provided with the budgetary estimate. Should such
additional issues arise during the performance of this Interim Agreement, the parties agree that
such issues are not within the scope of the services provided under this Interim Agreement and
that the costs of such additional services shall be separately negotiable.

TECHNICAL EXECUTION PLAN
1999
I. Backzround
It is the intent of the Caretaker to perform the cooperative Caretaker function through
utilization of public and private sector subcontractors.
The Caretaker is governed by an elected City Council which includes five at-large
Councilmembers who serve on a part-time basis. The City Council is responsible for all
matters pertaining to the governance of the City. Executing the policies set by the City
Council is the responsibility of the City Manager. The City Manager is hired by the City
Council and is a full-time professional staff position responsible for the day-to-day
administration of City business. The City Manager and City Attorney report directly to the
City Council..
The Tustin Assistant City Manager will be the prime point of contact for overall
implementation of this Interim Agreement. This position has supervisory staff and line
personnel to perform necessary tasks from City operating departments. An organizational
chart is attached as Exhibit 2-1. 'The City also reserves the right to utilize a qualified
facility/contract management contractor for execution.
All employees of the Caretaker will be covered by the City of Tustin Personnel Policies.
These policies are available for review by the Navy upon request. The policies set forth the
expected measures of conduct, terms of employment, employee benefits, procedure for
disciplinary action, and other personnel procedures.
II. Proposed Requirements and Rationale
A. Proposed Method of Accomplishment
The Caretaker currently contracts for fire protection and emergency medical services
with the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA). The Caretaker would subcontract for
the performance of fire protection and emergency medical services component of this
agreement with OCFA.
B. OCFA Overview
The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) serves more than one million residents
in 20 partner cities and the unincorporated areas of Orange County. They provide
fire protection and emergency services and participate in the California Mutual Aid
Master Plan for use and assignment of resources for daily operations, and in the
event of major emergencies. They also provide aircraft rescue firefighting services
by contract to John Wayne Airport.
The Orange County Fire Authority was formed March 1, 1995 and is governed by
a 21 member Board comprised of representatives from the 19 cities it protects and
the Orange County Board of Supervisors. The Orange County Fire Authority
serves the following communities.

C. Concept of Operations
1. General Scope
a. The OCFA shall provide to MCAS Tustin the following services:
1) Fire suppression;
2) Emergency medical response;
3) Fire prevention and inspection services;
4) Rescue;
5) Hazardous materials response;
6) Fire investigation.
b,
The services provided by the OCFA to MCAS Tustin under this Interim
Agreement expressly exclude the following:
1) Central monitoring of existing fire alarms;
2) Fire protection system maintenance and repair;
3) Ambulance transportation;
4) Weed abatement.
C.
Ambulance transportation services to MCAS Tustin shall be provided

e,
Doctor's Ambulance Service. Ambulance dispatch and related services
shall also be performed by OCFA to MCAS Tustin.
During the performance of this Interim Agreement, issues relative to fire
and life safety mandates and requirements for existing structures and
facilities, including their occupancies, within MCAS Tustin may arise due
to differences between federal, state, and local requirements (e.g., issues
relating to fuel facilities, fire protection water, combustible gas mitigation,
fire hazard impacts, hazardous materials storage and use, vacant buildings,
etc.). Such mandates and requirements may require replacement,
reconstruction, and/or relocation of structures or operations. Costs
associated with the aforementioned additional workload may necessitate
the performance of additional services which have not been provided for
under this Interim Agreement. Should such additional issues arise during
the performance of this Interim Agreement, the parties agree that such
issues are not within the scope of the services provided under this
Agreement and that the costs of such additional services shall be
separately negotiable.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the level of services provided to
MCAS Tustin under this Interim Agreement shall be the same as the level
of similar services provided by'the OCFA elsewhere within its
jurisdictional boundaries. Any changes to such levels and method of
service shall be discussed with the Navy and determined in consultation
with the Caretaker and OCFA Fire Chief, who shall supervise the services
provided pursuant to this Interim Agreement, and who is designated as the
interim MCAS Tustin Fire Chief and Fire Marshal.

Agreement. The Fire Chief or his designee shall meet with the Officer in
Charge,of the Caretaker Site Office at least quarterly or as more frequently
requested by the Caretaker or Officer in Charge.
ao
The Caretaker and Officer in Charge of the Caretaker Site Office will be
promptly notified of the following events occurring within MCAS Tustin.

Operations and Services Profile
Fire Protection and Emergency Medical Services.
MCAS Tustin operated two fire stations at the base. These fire stations
will be closed, and there will be no military fire suppression and
emergency response units remaining at the facility with base closure.
Upon closure, there will be a need to protect property including assets
left at the base.
OCFA's jurisdiction is 'divided up into four major geographical areas
known as Divisions, each under the command of a Division Chief.
Each division is divided into several battalions under the command of
Battalion Chiefs. Within the battalions are the fire stations that provide
regional emergency response coverage, Basic Life Support (BLS)
including paramedic Advanced Life Support (ALS), specialized
Hazardous Materials Response, Urban Search and Rescue (US&R), and
Swift Water Rescue teams.
OCFA has determined that existing adjacent Fire Station No. 6 at 3180
Barranca Parkway, Irvine, and Fire 'Station No. 37 at 14901 Red Hill
Ave, Tustin will be able to provide the additional fire suppression and
emergency medical response required during the Interim Agreement.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 4
Both fire stations operate a Paramedic Assessment Unit (PAU)
comprised of a 3 person Engine Company with a Captain, an Engineer,
and a Firefighter/Paramedic. Fire Station No. 6 also operates a 4 person
Technical Rescue Truck Company. Each company works on a pre-
arranged 24-hour shift schedule for coverage 365 days a year. Career
personnel, not trained as paramedics, are State certified Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMT's) with certification in automatic external
defibrillation. A PAU is a first response Basic Life Support (BLS)
company that is upgraded to Advanced Life Support (ALS) capabilities
by designating one position on the company to a paramedic position
and adding required supplies and equipment. Enhanced patient care is
accomplished an earlier advanced level of assessment, which means a
plan of care can be formulated and instituted earlier. If a situation
demands a full ALS response, an additional paramedic unit is
dispatched which adds an extra paramedic to the call.
Response standards for service have three basic components: (1)
time/distance; (2) staffing; and (3) skills/equipment. Time and distance
standards consist of how long it takes to get resources to a call.
Dispatch time to a station is calculated at 30 seconds. One minute is
allowed to receive the information at the station, put on safety
equipment, and prepare to respond (known as turnout time).. Distance
to a call is calculated based on the travel route and normally expressed
as the response time, given in minutes. Driving time incorporates the
speed limit over some distance. For instance, a 5-minute response 'time
for basic life support equates to approximately 2.04 miles traveling at
an average of 35 miles per hour. The final three and one half minutes is
the actual driving time that is used to calculate the distance.
Staffing standards equate to how many personnel are needed for a
particular type of emergency. For example, an emergency medical
service call requires a minimum of three personnel to provide basic life
support (BLS). Advanced life support (ALS) requires four or more
personnel of which two are paramedics. All emergency response
personnel are Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) certified which
allows them to provide basic life support. Paramedics provide
Advanced Life Support. Truck companies carry equipment and
personnel necessary to perform rescue, ventilation, forcible entry, and
salvage work. Engine companies primarily focus on fire suppression
and EMS activities.
While OCFA does not staff ambulances or charge fees for responding
to an emergency call, through a contract administration process, it has
responsibility to ensure that reliable, high quality ambulance services
are provided on an uninterrupted basis, consistent with clinical and
response time standards for Ambulance Service Areas (ASA) served by
the OCFA. If a medical emergency requires a patient to be transported
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 5
to a hospital, the approved commercial private ambulance company for
the ASA transports and bills the patient. OCFA receives
reimbursement for paramedic supplies cost through the ambulance
service contract.
A typical fire structure response requires 3 engine companies, one truck
company, a paramedic unit, and one Battalion Chief to be sent to the
initial assignment. When the first unit arrives on scene, their initial task
is to evaluate the situation, secure the water supply, initiate necessary
evacuations of the area, place hose lines, facilitate forcible entry if
necessary, deploy ladders, establish tools and equipment pool, and
secure utilities. After the second responding units arrive on scene, they
report to the incident commander, obtain status of the incident, and
receive assignment allowing full response capabilities to occur.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and
California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA)
have stiffened requirements related to firefighter safety in the
workplace. Specifically, Cal OSHA has adopted 29 CFR 1910.138
Respiratory Standards. Within the standard are requirements that state
for every two or more firefighters working in an Immediately
Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) situation, there must be a
minimum of two outside the IDLH prepared to rescue those working in
an IDLH (four persons on scene). The common phrase used to refer to
this requirement is "Two In, Two Out". All fire agencies in California
must comply with the rule by May 22, 1999.
What determines service demand are a variety of factors including
densities, occupancy type, circulation, topography, access, and
population. Also included are risk factors such as building types,
availability of built-in fire protection, etc. OCFA's goal is for the first-
in engine company to arrive on-scene within 5 minutes, 80 percent of
the time. The first-in paramedic company goal is to arrive on-scene
within 8 minutes, 90 percent of the time.
While there are no fire suppression and emergency medical response
units to be assigned on base, it is through OCFA's larger regional
system, involving depth of resources and strategic allocation of assets,
that an enhanced level of service will be provided. This translates into
quality and strength. It enables the use of existing resources on a
broader scale, and maximizes the use .of all emergency and support
resources within the department, regardless of jurisdictional boundaries
or physical location. These service enhancements include a move-up
and cover program, truck company service, a Battalion Chief on duty
24-hours a day, a computer aided dispatch system with computers in
each apparatus, emergency medical dispatch, and a large reserve fleet,
all part of the regional system and included in the budget.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 6
b. Emereency Communications
The existing communications systems used to deliver emergency
dispatch information to fire safety personnel at MCAS Tustin is
outdated and not compatible with the system utilized by OCFA. While
there are computers at MCAS Tustin stations, they are not tied into the
dispatch process. The existing dispatch system is fundamentally an
obsolete manual system.
OCFA's system consists of a fully automated Computer Aided
Dispatch System (CAD). Dispatchers enter call information, the
computer selects the closest available unit based upon the last known
status and location. Call information is sent via telephone line to the
fire station printer and via the radio system to the Mobile Data
Terminal in the fire engine.
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 7
c. Fire Prevention
Unlike the need for continuing emergency response capabilities, the
Interim Agreementstatus will require one-time costs for a full-time Fire
Prevention position recommended on a limited term basis for one year.
This' poSition has been identified at the Fire Safety Specialist ii level
and will be responsible for providing initial risk assessment and
analysis of existing life safety issues and systems. This includes
reviewing water improvements plans (hydrant and fire flow
information), inspecting and testing fire sprinklers, water distribution
systems, fire alarms, and other fire protection systems, analyzing
existing inspection and plan review reports, procedures and policies,
and documenting inspection findings and activities. This position will
also be responsible for daily inspections of buildings and evaluation of
compliance with applicable fire codes and regulations.
Emergency response staff do not have the depth of training, education
or experience to conduct inspections for other than routine fire and life
safety systems. Since emergency response will be provided from Fire
Stations No. 6 and Fire Station No. 37 located off base, the Fire Safety
Specialist will also have to prepare documentation for responding units
on area plans and building layouts to identify type and location of fire
department connections and to document hazards and response needs
related to the water supply system and buildings. This position will
also document the location of hydrants, verify equipment capabilities,
and verify flow testing. Other responsibilities include .inspecting
buildings for general housekeeping, verify fire extinguisher service,
review sprinkler service, maintenance, and built-in or portable
extinguishing systems, hydrostatic testing, and maintenance of existing
inspection files.
In discussions with the Caretaker and Navy, there is a possibility that
some utilities may be severed upon operational closure. That increased
risk only reinforces the need to have complete knowledge of all
activities associated with facilities and systems located at the base. A
full time Fire Safety Specialist Staff will assist in reducing some .of the
potential risks associated with liability and loss.
d. Equipment and Materials Required
1)
A portion of Building 516 or other location acceptable to the
Caretaker, Navy and OCFA at MCAS Tustin shall be made
available by the Navy for use by OCFA for the Fire Support
Specialist position on or before the effective date of this Interim
Agreement at no cost to OCFA. The office area shall include
furniture, fixtures and equipment necessary for a fully
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 2 - PAGE 8
operational fire prevention office. The Navy will be responsible
for the structural integrity of the facility (e.g., roofing, flaming,
foundation, flooring, HVAC systems) and utilities provided up
to the facility.
2)
One fully operational and equipped fire prevention vehicle for
use by the Fire Safety Specialist (Chevy Blazer serial number
294429) will be made available by the Navy for OCFA's use at
no cost. OCFA will be responsible for the care and
maintenance of the vehicle.
3) Portable 800 MHz Radios
The Navy shall make available to the OCFA all 800 MHz
portable radios currently being used at MCAS Tustin. The
OCFA will use aforementioned communications equipment
until it is phased out, at which time a new countywide system
will become operational.
4) MCAS Tustin Fire Protection and Prevention Data
All pre-existing MCAS Tustin Fire Department records, data,
computer system-databases and other related information as
requested by OCFA shall be transferred to the Caretaker in care
of OCFA for inclusion in 'its database. All of the
aforementioned records shall be retained for the Caretaker by
OCFA and microfilmed or destroyed in accordance with state
law and OCFA policy after approval by the Caretaker.
Records, documentation, recorded or documented instructions
and record keeping systems: Fire department recorders,
documentation, instructions, reference, training materials, and
their systems provided by the Navy to Caretaker/OCFA upon
request will include but not be limited to:

INTERIM COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
MARINE CORPS AIR STATION TUSTIN
BUDGETARY ESTIMATE PLAN
1999
Introduction
The budgetary estimate provided reflects the minimum level of fire protection required to protect
assets, resources, and persons at MCAS Tustin during an interim period upon closure. OCFA
and the Caretaker are able to accomplish this level of fire protection due to 'the size, depth of
resources, strategic station locations, use of technOlogy, and effective operations and
management. The proposed costs are not negotiable because the methodology applied is
consistent with the Caretaker's and OCFA's policy to recover costs to provide services.
The budgetary estimate reflects the following assumptions:
Annual costs to provide services are based upon the Caretaker's and OCFA's fiscal year
1999/2000 which begins July 1, 1999, and ends June 30, 2000, and will be updated in
each subsequent fiscal year;
· An office will be provided to OCFA on a no-cost basis, including furniture, fixtures and
equipment for a fully-operational fire prevention office;
· A fully-operational and equipped fire prevention vehicle will be made available by the
Navy to OCFA at no cost;
Existing communication systems at MCAS Tustin are not compatible with the system
utilized by OCFA, 'necessitating that OCFA provide certain communication and
information services and equipment identified in the budgetary estimate;
A Fire Safety Specialist II position is included for 12 months to identify, evaluate and
monitor fire prevention requirements and conditions at the base. Information services
equipment is included to support the position. Costs for the position include labor
(salaries and benefits), services and supplies, and OCFA support services to the position,
including finance/administration, technical services and communication departments. The
job description for the position is identified in appendix 2 - page 9.
A methodology used for emergency costs reflect the actually fully-burdened company
costs associated with providing services and is based on the premise that there are three
direct service components:
Direct service components, which include company labor and support labor
for operations;
Direct services and supplies costs within the budget which directly benefit
operations;
Support services includes overhead support including finance/administration,
technical services, 'and communications departments.
· Using 1999 response data provided by the Navy, OCFA has projected a 16% increase in
responses associated with assumption of services at MCAS Tustin. They then took 16%
MCAS TUSTIN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
APPENDIX 3 PAGE 1
of a fully burdened company cost for a PAU to arrive at a cost for providing services
upon closure. The current fully burdened Cost for a PAU is $1,392,263.
The methodology for Caretaker Administration does not include direct labor at this time
but support services from the City of Tustin based on the City's adopted cost allocation
plan, including overhead support for general administration, finance, audit, self-
insurance.
· Exhibit 3-1 identifies all identified costs that shall incur in execution of this function.
Purchasin~ System or Methods
All purchases of equipment or materials identified in the Budgetary Estimate will be procured
through OCFA procurement procedures which reflect applicable state and local laws and
regulations.
Payment for Services
mo
As consideration for the services, the Navy shall pay to the Caretaker a one-time start up
cost in the sum of $12,083 and annual operating costs not to exceed $322,425, due and
payable, in advance thereafter, in quarterly installments not to exceed $80,606.25.
Bo
With respect to establishing service, the Navy shall pay the Caretaker an initial payment
of $92,689.25 before July 3, 1999. The aforementioned initial payment to the Navy to
the Caretaker reflects the one-time start up cost in the amount of $12,083 and the first
quarterly installment payment for the annual operating costs in the sum of $80,606.25.
Subsequent quarterly installments shall be paid by Navy without prior notice or demand,
and without any setoff, counterclaim or deduction.
C.
All payments due the Caretaker shall be paid at the beginning of each quarter, in advance
(e.g., second quarter which includes October, November, December will be due and
payable by September 30, 1999).
Other Issues and Impacts on the Budgetary_ Estimate
During the performance of this Interim Agreement, issues relative to fire and life safety
mandates and requirements for existing structures and facilities, including their occupancies,
within MCAS Tustin may arise due to differences between federal, .state, and local requirements
(e.g., issues relating to fuel facilities, fire protection water, combustible gas mitigation, fire
hazard impacts, hazardous materials storage and use, vacant buildings, etc.).
Costs associated with the aforementioned additional workload may necessitate the performance
of additional services which have not been provided with the budgetary estimate. Should such
additional issues arise during the performance of this Interim Agreement, the parties agree that
such issues are not within the scope of the services provided under this Interim Agreement and
that the costs of such additional services shall be separately negotiable.

INTERIM FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY
AND
CITY OF TUSTIN,
THE LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
FOR
MCAS TUSTIN
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this day of ,1999, by and
between the ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY, a Joint Powers Agency (herein referred to as
the OCFA) and the City of Tustin, the Local Redevelopment Authority for Marine Corps Air Station
Tustin, a municipal corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of California (herein
refereed to as the CITY)
RECITALS
A. The Federal Government, for and on behalf of the citizens of the United States, acts as
the steward of certain real property on which it maintains and operates military facilities and military
bases necessary for the defense of the United States of America. The Federal Government has
determined that the continued maintenance and operation of certain military bases throughout the
Nation are no longer necessary to achieve the national defense objectives of the United States.
Therefore, the Federal Govemment has directed and authorized the United States Department of
Defense to deactivate and close a select number of. military bases and to coordinate and administer
the systematic disposition of both real and personal property for civilian reuse purpOses.
B. The Federal Government has determined that the Marine Corps Air Station, Tustin,
California (herein referred to as the MCAS Tustin), is one of the aforementioned military bases
Which is to be deactivated, closed and ultimately converted to civilian reuse. The MCAS Tustin is
scheduled to close on July 3, 1999.
C. The terms and conditions necessary for establishing the adequate operation, maintenance,
and protection of the MCAS Tustin following base closure and pending final disposition will be
governed by an Interim Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement between the United States of
America, as represented by the Southwest Division, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (herein
referred to as the Navy) and the CITY.
D. The Federal Government has determined that it is in the public interest, and will be of
benefit, for the designated interim caretaker of the MCAS Tustin, the CITY, to participate in the
operation, maintenance, and protection of the MCAS Tustin facilities during the interim caretaker
period. The interim caretaker period is the period from the official base closure date until the final
INTERIM FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
PAGE- 1
disposition of the base. The CITY is a political subdivision organized under the laws of the State of
California possessing lawfully empowered authority to enter into a Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement with the Navy.
E. Pursuant to the Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement, the CITY is obligated to perform
certain "caretaker services" delineated within that Agreement. The aforementioned caretaker
services consist primarily of activities necessary to protect, secure, and maintain the inactivated
MCAS Tustin facilities described in that Agreement. Additionally, the CITY will supervise and
manage all activities and projects which are its responsibility and obligation under the Base
Caretaker Cooperative Agreement, according to the terms, conditions, and specifications of that
Agreement. In consideratiOn for the CITY's performance of the aforementioned services and
operations during the interim caretaker period, the Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement provides
that the Navy shall pay an agreed upon sum of money to the CITY for the costs incurred by the
CITY associated with its performance under the Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement.
F. The caretaker service which the CITY is contractually obligated to perform under the
Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement is the establishment and provisions of fire protection and
emergency medical services to the MCAS Tustin. However, the CITY does not own the resources,
nor does it possess the capabilities, required to fully discharge its fire protection and emergency
medical services 'obligation under the terms, conditions and specifications of the Base Caretaker
Cooperative Agreement. Consequently, the CITY muSt contract separately for the performance of
the fire protection and emergency medical services component of the Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement in order to fully discharge its obligations under that Agreement.
G. It is the intent of the CITY and the OCFA to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of
establishing the terms and conditions under which the OCFA shall discharge, on behalf on the CITY,
the CITY's contractual obligation under the Base Caretaker Cooperative Agreement to provide
continued and uninterrupted fire protection and emergency medical services to the geographical area
comprising the MCAS Tustin during the interim period following base closure and military
withdrawal pending final disposition of the base.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises,
covenants, and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
I. BASE CARETAKER COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
A. This agreement is subject to and subordinate to the Base Caretaker Cooperative
Agreement (herein after referred to as the Cooperative Agreement), attached as Attachment "A"

Budget and represent the minimum level of fire protection and emergency medical services required
to protect assets, resources, and persons planned to be located within the MCAS Tustin Service Area
during the interim period following base closure and military withdraw.
B. The costs presented under this Agreement reflect the fully burdened company costs
associated with providing fire protection and emergency medical services to the MCAS Tustin
Service Area and are based on the premise that there are three (3) service components:
1. Direct service components, which include company labor and support labor for
operations
2. Direct services and supply costs within the OCFA Fiscal Year 1999/00 Budget, which
directly benefit operations
3. Support services including overhead support for Finance/Administration, Technical
Services, and Communications departments

Service Area, the OCFA must charge the CITY for one-time start-up costs in the amount of $12,083,
INTERIM FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY
MEDICAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
PAGE- 5
which reflects the actual cost of establishing such services. In addition, the initial operating cost for
the' first twelve (12) months of this Agreement for the provision of fire protection and emergency
medical services to the MCAS Tustin Service Area shall not exceed $322,425, which includes the
expense costs associated with staffing and operating a Paramedic Assessment Unit (PAU) with three

D. The specific cost line items and requirements for the one-time start up costs, as well as
for the annual operating costs, are more fully set forth in the spreadsheets attached hereto 'as
Attachment "C", and are incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
VI. PAYMENT FOR SERVICES
A. As consideration for the services set forth in this Agreement, the CITY agrees to pay to
the OCFA directly a one-time start up cost in the sum of $12,083. OCFA and the CITY agree that
annual operating costs for services in this Agreement shall not exceed $322,425. Further, the OCFA
and CITY have determined that 50% of the specific cost line item for annual emergency response
shown in Attachment C incurs to the Orange County Structural Fire Fund and 50% of the specific
cost line item for emergency response incurs to the CITY as an additional cost in consideration of
OCFA providing expanded services to the CITY as a Cash Contract CITY. In consideration of this
relationship, the CITY agrees to pay OCFA directly for a portion of annual operating costs not to.
exceed $211,044 annually, due and payable, in quarterly installments. Further, $111,381 of the
annual operating costs will be retained by the CITY for the costs incurred by the CITY as a OCFA
Cash Contract CITY.
