Town outlines plans to renovate Station 3; ARP funds to be used
Summary
Town staff and the chief said Station 3 renovations will bring the building up to NFPA-recommended safety standards—diesel exhaust extraction, access control, upgraded mechanical systems—with engineers finalizing bid documents; an RFP is expected after Redevelopment Commission approval, and staff said ARP funds will be used so the general fund is not impacted.
Town staff and Chief Skaggs updated the council on Station 3, which has been vacant for about two years. They said engineers are nearly finished with floor plans and a bid package and that planned renovations will bring the station up to current safety standards: diesel-exhaust extraction systems, access control, consolidated mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems, gear-washing extractors and generator backup. Staff said the station currently contains additions from multiple eras and will be taken down to studs where appropriate to create an efficient layout.
Staff said the Redevelopment Commission owns the property and that, pending RDC approval, the town will issue an RFP with a roughly 30-day proposal window; construction could take about 9–12 months once a contractor is selected. Officials said they intend to use ARP funds to complete the work so the town general fund will not be impacted and pledged to keep the council updated as bidding and selection proceed.
