Last Monday, July 18, the city council authorized going out for bids for construction of the proposed 29,000 square foot station to be located at a site on West 10th Street. That marks the latest step in a year-long process to replace the city's decades-old current fire station with updated fire protection facilities. Cost of the new building is estimated at around $13.5 million. The cost and design haven't changed much since the site plan and design review the council approved back in May, according to representatives from BKV Group and Kraus-Anderson. Those two firms were selected earlier by the council to work with fire department leadership and city staff to help design and manage the project. In terms of design, inside the building includes a mezzanine, training tower, bunk rooms, office and administrative space, community room space, and most importantly, building designers say, segmented drive through apparatus bays and decontamination facilities to protect firefighter health and safety. Outside, the building will be constructed with pre-cast concrete and metal panels. The site also will include parking for firefighters and the public, and space for future expansion as needed. The one design change is to include about $50,000 in energy efficiency provisions, which will yield about $12,000 in rebates and save the city abut $10,000 annually in utility costs, according to a Kraus-Anderson representative. Bids were expected go out this week and a bid award made in late August. Material procurement would start soon after with construction anticipated to begin June/July of 2023. In related financial business, the council adopted resolutions related to the sale of general obligation bonds to fund fire station construction and 2022 infrastructure improvement projects. Total bond sales are expected to amount to about $18 million. Finance director Nicole Meyer noted that other debt levies will be paid off soon which will open up additional debt capacity for the city. ________________________ As of May 25, 2022, plans have been approved.
