The Statesboro Mayor and Council approved a construction contract for Fire Station 3 with a not-to-exceed amount of $4,800,000.
Staff described the contract as a base amount plus an additional $444,000 (transcript phrasing uncertain) for change orders and furnishings; after clarifying, staff recommended a not-to-exceed approval of $4,800,000 for construction of Fire Station 3. The project will be funded from capital improvement number FD-85 and from 2019-plus funds and other financing sources if required.
Council voted to approve the contract by voice vote.
Why it matters: the project will add a new fire station and affects capital spending and operational coverage for fire and emergency response.
Next steps: staff will proceed with construction contracting and manage change orders under the approved not-to-exceed amount.
