Project Details

  • Programmed funding: $15,309,731
  • Appropriated funding: $9,309,731
  • Project type: Rehabilitation/replacement

Description and Scope

This project is for the repair and renewal of all existing City-owned fire facilities (21). 

This includes:

  • Replacement of driveways or aprons
  • Replacement of roofs
  • Removal of asbestos
  • Reconstruction of water and sewer systems
  • Replacement of equipment, such as air conditioning, plumbing, and kitchen equipment
  • Addition of exhaust systems to ensure proper air quality
  • All other renewal relating to habitability of those facilities

Purpose and Need

Fire stations are among the few City-owned facilities which have employees living in them on a 24-hour basis. As such, there is a need to ensure that these facilities are adequately maintained. 

Some of the maintenance issues at the fire facilities may involve the presence of safety hazards. Failure to maintain these facilities would result in further deterioration and higher costs. 

This project will provide a steady stream of funds for this continuous capital need. Scheduled work is adjusted based on revised cost estimates and emerging priority needs.
