August July November Fire Station #2 Project Timeline 2006 Space Needs Analysis The purpose of this step was to answer a number of questions regarding the existing Fire Station #2 site; and to identify Fire Department space needs. For example, does the existing old municipal center site work for Fire Station #2? Can we renovate the old municipal center building? Should we demolish and rebuild a new fire station? Attached is a Fire Station #2 Feasibility Report and Space Needs Analysis for the old municipal center site (existing location of Fire Station #2). This work was completed by BKV Group. In 2006, it was determined, utilizing the existing municipal center site was not a feasible or practical long term solution. At that time, a new Fire Station #2 site was identified and proposed --5650 Alpine Drive NW. 2012 Surplus City Owned Land In 2012, the City Council identified the old municipal center site surplus City owned property; and provided Staff with direction to identify opportunities to return this property back to the private sector. As part of that discussion, the current location of Fire Station #2 was identified as a factor in the future development of the old municipal center site. In order to allow for future development of the old municipal center site, a new location for Fire Station #2 would need to be planned/prepared in order to effectively react to future development. 2013 Schematic Design The purpose of this stage is to develop schematic designs of what Fire Station #2 could look like (often referred to as preliminary design). The outcome of this stage is preliminary architectural designs and preliminary site plan documents. Additionally, a preliminary project budget is developed. This work was authorized by the Council on November 26, 2013. Construction costs were estimated at $3,230,000 and soft costs are estimated at $509,500 ($3,739,500 sub total). If the City bonded for this project, the total bond issue would be estimated just above $4M (total estimated project costs). Sep. 2013 - Feb. 2014 August Collaborative Public Input Process on Landuse of Former OMC Site The City undertook a process to consider the future development of the "Old Municipal Center Site." This collaborative 13 -citizen -member public input process was known as the "Old Municipal Center Study Group." The City considered two general development scenarios for the 21.5 acre site: (A) data center development and (B) residential development. Previously, the Old Municipal Center Site was zoned Public/Quasi Public. The City Council decided to move forward with an amendment to allow for single- family residential only land use on the OMC site. 2014 Final Design & Specifications The purpose of this stage is to develop final site plans, architectural plans, civil plans, landscaping plans, electric/mechanical plans, construction specifications and bid documents. By completing this step, the City would be in position to move forward with constructing Fire Station #2 in a quick and effective manner. This work does have a shelf life of approximately five years. Construction costs were estimated at $3,339,500 and soft costs are estimated at $461,000 ($3,851,000 sub total). If the City bonded for this project, the total bond issue would be estimated at $4.15M (total estimated project costs).
