The council approved a professional services agreement for design work on interior renovations at Fire Station 42, selecting SVPA Architects from eight proposers after a multi-department evaluation.

Scott Hoch, who introduced the item as the presenting staff member, said the remodel will convert an existing conference room and other spaces into sleeping quarters and offices for a battalion chief and other roles and will relocate the fire marshal into the renovated station. The evaluation team included staff from parks, facilities and fire and scored proposals on technical approach, experience, fee structure and schedule.

SVPA Architects scored highest under the evaluation criteria and the recommended contract was $41,115. Hoch said the work is interior only and will include limited electrical and HVAC adjustments; staff anticipate construction later in 2025. The council approved the motion to award the professional services agreement on a voice vote.
