Germantown approves draft RFP to design renovation of Fire Station 2 with $6.1M target cost
Summary
Trustees approved publishing a draft RFP to solicit design services for renovating and expanding Fire Station 2; the 3-phase process targets a construction budget near $6.1 million and design funding of about $500,000.
Staff presented a draft request for proposals for design services to renovate and expand Fire Station 2. The RFP outlines a three-phase workflow (schematic design, full design/construction documents, then construction-phase services) and aims to deliver a renovation consistent with the board’s $6.1 million construction target and an estimated $500,000 design budget.
Trustees pressed for clarity about the level of finish and quality implied by the cost estimate. Staff said the cost estimate reflects middle-of-the-road public-building standards, not high-end finishes, and that schematic design and an early construction cost estimate will allow the board to pause before committing to later phases if proposed designs exceed the budget.
Trustees approved publishing the draft RFP and directed staff to proceed with an open RFP and a subsequent construction-manager RFP; contracts for design services will return to the board for award and final approval.
