TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Authorize Advertisement for Bids on Fire Station 1 Remodel.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approval as requested.
Recommendation:
Authorize the advertisement for bids for the remodel of Fire Station 1. 
Discussion:

In 2020 the Shakopee Fire Department converted to a 24/7 staffing model, and as a result needed to construct temporary living quarters in order to accommodate overnight staff in the fire station. While the temporary living quarters have served our department well, a more permanent solution is needed for the health, welfare, and comfort of our staff. 

 

In August of 2023 staff entered into a contract with CNH Architects to begin work on the remodel of the existing facility. Now that architectural and design services are nearing completion the city will move toward bidding and construction of the project.

 

Bid documents are currently being prepared and expected to be advertised throughout March with bid opening and tabulations taking place on April 9, 2024. Bids would be brought before City Council prior to work being completed. 

 

Budget Impact:
Current CIP estimate cost is $800,000, to be funded from the Public Safety Aid dollars allocated by the state in the 2023 Legislative Session.
