STAFF COMMENTS: FY 2006 -2007 Capital Improvements Fund included a
$2,300,000 allocation for the design and construction of Fire Station No. 3. The addition
of the third fire station vastly improves the service and response times for the North and
Northeast sections of the City. The project was originally conceptualized as a two
apparatus bay facility with dormitory sleeping arrangements. In considering the 40 -year
life of the building, the project was designed to incorporate three apparatus bays and
individual sleeping quarters. The architectural firm BKL, Incorporated designed the fire
station project. Through the competitive bidding process, Crossland Construction
Company was awarded the building project, and received notice to proceed in January,
2007. Some features of the fire station include computer wiring, diesel exhaust
capturing system in the apparatus bay, separate sleeping quarters for the firefighters,
both private (firefighter) and ADA- compliant public restroom facilities, a community
meeting room, and a facility generator. It is important to note that Fire Station No. 3
also incorporates a police precinct office, which is the first effort to distribute police
officers around the community. It is believed that this concept will be a part of each
future fire station. The total capital project cost equaled $2,199,155.
