BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

Fire Station #5 was built in 1988 and currently houses one medic unit, one engine and six staff personnel.  The current station is not functional for the needs of the staff and has several safety concerns regarding PPE storage, PPE decontamination (washing), and vehicle entry into the station.  This project will include an update to the living quarters to include the kitchen and restroom facilities, and an exterior expansion area for proper PPE decontamination and storage and a workout area.  The outside areas will be improved as well to address the appropriate number of parking spaces and secured parking

 

On September 9, 2024 Council approved a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to Trimbuilt Construction for $1,854,561 to complete the construction of this project and an additional $70,000 for owners contingency.

 

With the design contract, construction contract, materials testing, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FFE) and contingency, additional funding is needed to complete this project.

 

The Fire Station #5 Renovation project was originally funded in the 2022 Tax Note fund. As funding needs have expanded, remaining funds in the 2019 Bond fund are available to be utilized to fund the remaining costs for this project.
