Schedule

The District solicited proposals from design firms and environmental service firms in April of 2003 to assist the District with the planning, design, public involvement, regulatory, and permit phases of the Program. The District selection committee evaluated the proposals and the Board of Directors in June of 2003 approved the award of a contract for design services of the proposed eight new fire stations to Madsen, Flathmann, Dameron, and Babcock Architects, Inc., a renowned local design firm with extensive fire station design and construction experience. In June of 2003 the Board also approved the award of a contract to Locus Technologies of Sacramento to provide environmental consultant services on an as needed basis for real property acquisition assessments, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, and other related services. In September of 2003, the board approved the retention of Vanir Construction Management, INC. to assist with construction quality control and inspection services.

The District, in consultation with its consultants, has developed a tentative schedule for the delivery of the eight new fire stations. Many factors could affect the schedule including the time required to: acquire real property; obtain required permits; provide appropriate public comment and participation opportunities; and other factors.

Outlined below is a typical project schedule for each of the proposed new fire stations following District purchase of the new fire station sites:

Schematic Design 2 months

Construction Documents, Public Review/Comment, 10 months
And Permits

Construction Bidding 2 months

Construction 13 months

Total time required per each station = 27 months
