Goose Creek awards $7.53 million contract for Fire Station 4
Summary
Council awarded a $7,534,846 construction contract for Fire Station 4 to Jay Davis Construction; staff estimate roughly 370 days for construction and said partner funding made the project affordable despite earlier $3.5M estimates.
Mrs. Ziegler presented a contract award for Fire Station 4 to Jay Davis Construction in the amount of $7,534,846, with staff estimating about 370 days for construction once ground‑breaking begins. She said permits are in place and staff are prepared to start site work.
Mayor Essoby framed the project as the culmination of multi‑year planning, noting the city originally estimated a lower cost around $3.5 million but secured additional support from governmental partners to cover the increase. "When this started, we thought it would be $3,500,000 ish. It is not. As you can see, it is now $7,500,000," he said. Council moved and approved the contract by voice vote; a formal groundbreaking will follow tree removal.
