The project is now complete. This case requires no action. Please note, final payment for Fire Station 92 is on the consent agenda tonight(per standard practice). BACKGROUND Please see attached background MEMO for a brief overview of this project and the corresponding process. In summary,Up until April 2016,the City of Ramsey's Fire Department operated Fire Station 42 from the City's "Old Municipal Center" site. The former location of Fire Station 92 was identified as a non-feasible/ineffective long term solution for Fire Station 92; and the City's overall fire protection/public safety needs. As a result,beginning in 2006, the City shifted attention to the property located at 5650 Alpine Drive to become the long-term home for Fire Station 42. In April 2016, the City open doors to the new Fire Station 42, located at 5650 Alpine Drive. This new station includes a police sub-station and a satellite Allina ambulance stall. The new fire station budget was $3.872M,the contract for construction was$3.135M(Brennen Construction). UPDATE (1)Patrick Brama(Asst. City Admin.)will provide a high-level summary of the project; and will discuss the project budget. The city did come in below budget on this project(by almost$200,000). Please see attached budget for details. (2)Matt Kohner(Fire Chief)will provide a presentation of the new Fire Station 42 from an operations perspective,including pictures. Fire Station 92 includes a police sub-station, and a satellite Allina ambulance stall.
