Team Bakersfield ee ing for Southwest Contractors
FROM:
SUBJECT:
This will confirm our meeting on Tuesday, June 18 at IPM in the Development Services first
floor conference room. A description of the project is enclosed. Please review this proposal
and be prepared to share any concerns and solutions regarding this project.
The site is located at 1500 South Union A venue, about three buildings south of Casa Lorna
Drive on the east side of the street. While the site is within the city limits, this portion of
Union Avenue is within the county's jurisdiction. I am trying to get a representative from
County Roads to join us. The site was formerly ARB, Inc.
The client has heard about how customer service-oriented we are. Gentlemen, this is our time
to shine.

City of Bakersfield
515 Truxton Ave.
Bakersfield, CA 93301
Dear Mr. Wager:
The purpose of this letter is to give you a better
understanding of the items we discussed in our meeting last
week.
Company Background:
Southwest Contractors (SWC) is a construction company
specializing in the installation of underground pipelines,
primarily used for transportation of petroleum products. In
addition, SWC performs Facilities construction services and
Project and Operations management services. Kern
Manufacturing Services, a division of SWC offers quality
manufacturing of pressure vessels, columns, fabricated
piping systems, process skids and similar services. The
Paving division of SWC offers paving services to local
contractors and individuals. I have enclosed brochures for
your review.
Planned Project:
SWC is purchasing an approximate 14 acre facility at 1500
South Union Ave. This is located in the Enterprise Zone and
the Incentive Area. The purchase price of the facility is
between $700,000 and $800,000, which is still being
negotiated. The current facility includes one,office
building, one warehouse facility with offices, one
mechanical shop anp one small fabrication shop. As part of
the purchase, a new 15,000 sq. ft. fabrication facility is
being constructed at a cost of apx. $500,000. I have
enclosed a preliminary site plan along with this letter.

We have already identified several problems where the ECD
and the Team Bakersfield concept may be able to help us.
These are:
1) Requirement to have fire sprinkler system in the
new fabrication shop. We believe this is a
requirement which should be waived by the Fire
Department. There is no storage of flammable
materials in the facility. If the sprinklers are
set off by accident, it could lead to serious
injury, or death, of workers in the building due
to the large amount of high voltage electrical
equipment in the shop. This is a welding shop.
We do not agree that the potential benefit of the
sprinklers outweighs the potential detriments.
2) Fuel Storage requirements seem to be changing
every time we talk to someone. We need to be able
to work out a definitive plan for our fuels
storage facilities.
3) We will be locating a heat treating furnace at the
facility. Currently this furnace is owned by ARB
and operated on District Blvd. We need help in
obtaining the proper permits with the AQMD, etc.
4) To enter the facility from southbound Union Ave.
there is not a full left turn lane, only a
designated opening in the median. We need
assistance in determining if a left turn lane can
be added so our vehicles can safely enter the
facility.
In addition to the items discussed above, we understand that
some financial assistance is available. We would like to
pursue this with you.

RE: PROPOSED FUEL FACILI1Y FOR SOUTHWEST CONTRACTORS. LOCATED AT 1500

Dear Ralph:
Enclosed herewith is a conceptual drawing showing the proposed protected aboveground fuel tanks
and dispensing facility for Southwest Contractors. As you are aware, this system was installed in the
County approximately three years ago and the owner would like to reuse as much of the components
as possible. If this concept is acceptable to you, we can work out the remaining details.
Please review this and respond at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely, ¡¿

TO:
SUBJECT: WAIVER OF FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN COMMERCIAL BUILDING
This memorandum will serve to confirm our meeting of July 19, 1996 wherein we
discussed Southwest Contractors' request for waiver of providing a fire sprinkler system
at the proposed construction site located at Union Avenue.
The Uniform Building Code Section 904.4, and the Uniform Fire Code Section
1003.4 provide that fire sprinkler systems may be omitted under certain specific guidelines.
Both sections contain the following pertinent language:
Permissible Sprinkler Omissions. Subject to the approval of
the building official and with the concurrence of the Chief of
the Fire Department, sprinklers may be omitted in rooms or
areas as follows:
1. When sprinklers are considered undesirable because
of the nature of the contents or in rooms or areas which are of
noncombustible construction with wholly noncombustible
contents and which are not exposed by other areas.
Sprinklers shall not be omitted from any room merely because
it is damp, of fire-resistive construction or contains electrical
equipment.
2. Sprinklers shall not be installed when the application of
water or flame and water to the contents may constitute a
serious life or fire hazard, ....

Page 2
In this case, both the Building Director and the Fire Chief concur that the proposed
construction (a building made completely of steel which is not completely enclosed and
which will contain no combustible materials) is of noncombustible construction and that
provision of a sprinkler system may constitute a serious life hazard if the building contains
a sprinkler system due to the threat of electrocution.
The Building Director and Fire Chief both agree that site plan review conditions will
be added requiring more extinguishers throughout the facility and that a change of use
may require the installation of sprinklers if the change removes the use from the applicable
exceptions of the Uniform Building Code and Uniform Fire Code.
Should you need any further assistance concerning this matter, please feel free to
contact me.

FROM: Michael R. Kelly, Fire Chief~
SUBJECT: Proposed Structure
Union Avenue South
I recommend the requirement to provide an automatic fire sprinkler
system in the proposed new 15,000 square foot building be waived
for the following reasons:
. The Uniform Fire code Section 1003.4 and the Uniform Building
Code Section 904.4 state that subject to the approval of the
building official with tho, concurrence of the Chief of the
Fire Department, sprinklers may be omitted in rooms or areas
as follows:
. When sprinklers are considered undesirable because of the
nature of the contents or in rooms or areas which are of
noncombustible construction with wholly noncombustible
contents and which are not exposed by other areas.
Sprinklers shall not be omitted from any room merely
because it is damp, of fire resistive construction, or
contains electrical equipment.
. Sprinklers shall not be installed when the application of
water or flame to the contents may constitute a serious
life or fire hazard, as in the manufacture or storage of
quantities of aluminum powder, calcium carbide, calcium
phosphide, metallic sodium and potassium, quicklime,
magnesium powder, and sodium peroxide.
The determination to waive the automatic fire sprinkler system is
base:! upon:
. The entire building and contents are of non-combustible
materials.
. Low building' occupancy levels.

. This building and contents will be all metal and contain high
voltage electricity, automatic application of water to this
building in the event of an electrical fire could energize the
building, creating a significant safety hazard.
No~e: Any change in use of building or con~en~s s~ored in building will require
a re-evalua~ion of the need for an au~oma~ic fire sprinkler sys~em.
Site Plan Review
Building will require numerous
extinguishers of adequate size.

Dear Mr. Porter:
I have reviewed the drawings for the proposed fuel dispensing facility at
Southwest Contractors. This tank, as it is proposed, meets the definition of an
above ground storage tank. Unfortunately, however, it does not meet the code for
protector requirement's, above ground storage tanks for vehicle fuel dispensing.
I have enclosed appendix II-F of the 1994 Unifonn Fire Code for your review, as
well as, appendix standard A-II-F-l which covers the testing requirements for
protected above ground tanks. The existing Southwest Contractors tanks do not
meet these requirements and are not acceptable for this purpose.
We look forward to working with you to resolve this problem by installing either
above ground storage tanks or underground storage tanks to current code
requirements, or using the existing tanks in a vault. If I can be of any further
assistance, please feel tree to call me at 325-3979.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph E, Huey
