SUBJECT: 1WESTIGATE MgRB• COST EFFECTIVE METHODS OF BUILDING NEW
FIRE STATIONS j
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATI'ON($) as BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
MCOMMENDED ACTIONS Request the County Administrator
to investigate methods .oficutting down the cost of construction
- of new fire stations. The investigation should include an
analysis of the present construction methods, as well as the
practicality of alternative construction methods including the
concept of working with builders who are presently engaged or
will be engaged in construction activities in the proposed fire
station site area.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Latest estimates for the
new fire station to be located in the West Pittsburg area have
escalated from the original estimate of $900,000 to approximately
. $1,400,000. To the. best of my knowledge, this estimate is for
the construction 'of the station only, and does not include the
purchase price of the land4•or equipment. I believe, the costs are
are excessive for the construction of a 'facility of this type.
We need recommendations on how to cut costs significantly.
