What public records show for food service in Union City
Past emergency
FEMA's 2023 declaration for Alameda County
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4699, severe winter storms, straight-line winds, flooding, landslides, and mudslides, on April 3, 2023 for Alameda County, which includes Union City, for an incident that began February 21, 2023. It is one of 8 major disaster declarations covering Alameda County since 2000. Storms like this cut power and water and close roads, which takes kitchens and walk-in coolers offline. For a school, care home, or shelter in Union City, that means cooking outside the building in a self-contained kitchen trailer until the inspection is passed.
Major construction
Repair projects around Union City
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "City of Oakland Sewer" (utilities, about $158,000) in Alameda County after DR-4699, a severe storm declared April 3, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Projects of this size change how a tractor-trailer reaches sites in and around Union City, so the delivery plan starts with the current road conditions. A crew camp on a long repair job can use a mobile kitchen trailer for its meals.
Major renovation
Public building repairs near Union City
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Del Valle Marina" (buildings and equipment, about $2.6 million) in Alameda County after DR-4683, a severe storm declared January 14, 2023; FEMA lists the project as eligible. Repairs like this often include the building's kitchen or the power that feeds it. A school or senior center in Union City can keep serving from a kitchen trailer in the parking lot.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Union City
California is in FEMA Region 9, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Alameda County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Projects in California are outside our Virginia lead market and are quoted case by case, with delivery distance and timing set out in the quote. Equipment for Union City would travel I-5 and local routes, as it would for nearby Hayward and Alameda County. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a public high school cafeteria in Union City
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Union City's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
Suppose a public high school cafeteria in Union City schedules a 3-month renovation, replacing its exhaust hood and cooking line, while it keeps serving meals.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), parked near the loading dock, where staff can move food between the trailers and the serving line.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-5 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 3-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $65,955 for 3 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
