City approves BRW Architects contract and procurement plan for live‑fire training facility
Summary
Council approved a $298,210 design contract with BRW Architects and authorized a competitive sealed proposal procurement for construction of two live‑fire training buildings and an apparatus bay, noting $4 million in ESD 7 interlocal funding.
Public Works and the Fire Department asked the council to approve a contract with BRW Architects for final design and to authorize a competitive sealed proposal (CSP) procurement for construction of a new live‑fire training facility. Public Works said the design contract amount is $298,210 and estimated design completion in eight months, with construction taking roughly one year.
Fire Chief Lozano told council the facility is necessary to maintain the department's ISO rating and to ensure that firefighters can receive required annual live‑fire training. Staff noted an interlocal agreement provides $4 million from Comal County ESD 7 toward the project. Council approved the contract and the CSP procurement method; council members emphasized the selection criteria will include qualifications and past performance rather than lowest price alone.
