STAFF ANALYSIS
The city’s existing Fire Station 187, located at 42960 S 99th Avenue, Goodyear, AZ 85239, currently operates from four (4) city-owned temporary modular buildings located on leased property owned by ARCUS Private Capital Solutions, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. The modular buildings are also used for administrative, office, and other governmental functions associated with the provision of police, fire, rescue and street maintenance operations. The use of the modular buildings for fire services was intended to be temporary with the modular facilities serving as an interim fire station pending construction of a permanent facility.
Council approved CIP #30014 - Fire Station 187 (Mobile) Remodel Improvements Project to construct a permanent fire station to include a fully enclosed apparatus bay with associated decontamination and support spaces, training room, and living areas for fire department personnel.
The completion of the Fire Station 187 (Mobile) Remodel Improvements Project will require the city to acquire fee ownership of the real property upon which the new Fire Station 187 will be constructed and upon which the city-owned modular buildings are currently located. The Fire Station 187 (Mobile) Remodel Improvements Project impacts two (2) parcels currently identified as APNs 300-26-022G and 300-26-022C.
