Title:
Fire Station #2 Update
Purpose/Background:
PURPOSE
The purpose of this case is to provide the Council with an update on the Fire Station #2 project. The project is now complete. This case requires no action. Please note, final payment for Fire Station #2 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 #2 from the City's "Old Municipal Center" site. The former location of Fire Station #2 was identified as a non-feasible/ineffective long term solution for Fire Station #2; 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 #2. In April 2016, the City open doors to the new Fire Station #2, 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).
