Summary
Council announced a selection committee for new firehouse planning; members expect to shortlist firms, conduct interviews, and scope an approximately 18,000-square-foot facility with a preliminary construction cost range the presenter put at about "$5 to $600 a square foot."
The council announced a DOT-selection committee to oversee planning for a new firehouse/warehouse project, listing committee members including the chief and deputy chiefs and two council members. The committee said it will run interviews and select a construction-management/architectural firm to scope the project; the presenter said scoping may take several months and estimated construction costs in the general range of "$5 to $600 a square foot" for roughly an 18,000-square-foot building.
The council indicated it will receive a more-detailed plan and cost estimate once the team completes scoping. Council members thanked staff and asked for follow-up on schedules and procurement steps.
