Court selects DRG for Precinct 4 service center design, approves RFQ for Runge EMS station
Summary
The court selected DRG Architects LLC to design the new Precinct 4 Service Center in Runge and authorized an RFQ for a separate Precinct 4 EMS station; commissioners discussed prefabricated versus permanent buildings and site/utility considerations.
Commissioners voted to select DRG Architects LLC for design and construction-administration services for a new Precinct 4 Service Center in Runge, citing the firm’s previous work on a similar precinct facility.
Commissioner Giesler moved separately to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to design and construct a Precinct 4 EMS station in Runge. Commissioners and staff discussed the tradeoffs between modular (manufactured) buildings and permanent pre-engineered metal buildings, noting cost savings for modular units but higher long-term durability and systems costs (generators, fire suppression, site grading). EMS leadership said architects would still be needed for site plans and civil work even for a modular approach. The court approved issuing the RFQ and authorized negotiation steps for the service-center contract.
