Council approves design contracts for three Rowlett fire stations
Summary
Council authorized professional services agreements for architectural and engineering design of Fire Stations 1, 3 and 4, allocating up to $498,700 combined for design and leaving about $4.2 million for construction from prior bond funds.
The Rowlett City Council authorized professional services agreements to design renovations and modernization work for Fire Stations 1, 3 and 4, approving Brown Reynolds Watford (BRW) for stations 1 and 4 and Martinez Architects for station 3. Staff said voters approved bond funding in May 2024 for public safety projects and that roughly $4.7 million is available across these three projects; after the design authorizations staff estimated about $4.2 million would remain for construction.
At the presentation, staff said the scope includes structural and roof repairs, HVAC, life‑safety upgrades, apparatus‑bay improvements and targeted interior renovations. The recommended design contract amounts were "not to exceed" $298,700 for BRW (stations 1 and 4) and $195,000 for Martinez (station 3). Deepa, presenting the staff report, estimated a one-year construction timeline for station 1 and 4 together and another year for station 3 if work proceeds in parallel. The motion to approve the item passed 6–1 (mayor absent).
