City Clerk <br /> DATE: 8/12/2021 <br /> MEMO: <br /> TO: Mayor Moore Wolfe and City Council <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton,City Manager <br /> Jon Kindseth,Deputy City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting the Bid and Authorizing the Execution of a Contract with Felmley Dickerson for the <br /> Construction of New Fire Station#7. <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the contract be approved so that the contractor can begin work <br /> this year. This station will be the exact same design as Fire Station#3,now being completed on North Fairview. Fehnley <br /> Dickerson was also awarded the contract for Station#3. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The consultant's recommendation was that the city leave the current airport location, <br /> because it can better serve areas east of Lake Decatur from a new location,and because Station#7 no longer meets the city's <br /> needs. The current Station#7 structure was built in the 1960s and is owned by the Park District. The Park District is not happy <br /> about the city's decision to leave the airport location,but they are receiving ARP money that will be used for a new fire response <br /> structure on the grounds of the airport. The Park District's airport staff currently man their aviation fire apparatus,and they will <br /> continue to do so after the city relocates Station V. As it has in the past,the city will back-up the Park District/Airport fire <br /> personnel as necessary. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: In addition to fire station bond funds,the City Council anticipated the need for most of <br /> the additional funds required to complete this project from reimbursed CURE money,when they adopted a budget amendment on <br /> August 2. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Council Memo for Station 7 Construction Cover Memo <br /> Resolution Accepting the Bid and Authorizing the <br /> Execution of a Contract with Fel neley-Dickerson Co.
