Measure X fire‑station builds move forward in unincorporated Alameda County; Station 7 foundation scheduled this spring
Summary
Alameda County Fire reported progress on three Measure X‑funded fire stations (Stations 7, 25 and 22) with foundation work and temporary relocations in place; the three‑station budget is about $65 million and public art contracts for the projects have been awarded.
Alameda County Fire presented progress updates on Measure X projects to the Unincorporated Services Committee, reporting construction milestones and budget details for three new fire stations.
Eric Moore, who oversees capital projects for Alameda County Fire, said construction is underway on Fire Station 7 (Palomares Hills): underground utilities are complete and foundation pours were imminent with an expected slab by the end of April and walls in June, and the station is on track for completion this calendar year. Station 25 in Castro Valley has been relocated to a temporary facility (a retrofitted building) while demolition of the old station is scheduled and foundation work is planned for late June. Station 22 (San Lorenzo) is under contract with Overa Construction; site preparation and environmental work are ongoing with construction expected to start later in the year.
Moore said the three‑station budget is roughly $65 million in total, with approximately $20 million per station on average and one larger station near $30 million. He also noted the county has selected artists for all projects (three stations plus a training tower), and public‑art contracts were awarded on March 3.
Supervisors and staff thanked Alameda County Fire for the presentation and noted upcoming plans for ribbon cuttings and community engagement as construction advances.
