The motion carried by the following <br />vote: <br />15.A.5 16-1127 Work Order #2 for Fire Rescue Station #14 (26th Street and 66th <br />Avenue) <br />Recommended Action: Staff recommends approval of Work Order #2 <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />Work Order 2 Barth <br />GMP Proposal <br />Emergency Services Director John King provided background, and reviewed <br />Work Order No. 2 for the design/build services in connection with the <br />preparation and improvements to proposed Fire Station 14, located at 26th <br />Street and 66th Avenue (a/k/a as the JC property). He recommended that the <br />Board move forward with Work Order No. 2. <br />Commissioner Zorc used an overhead projector to display and discuss maps of <br />the proposed site, existing stations, service areas, overlapping service areas, and <br />response areas for the different Fire Stations. He wanted the station to be <br />placed in the proper location, optimizing the ISO's service response district <br />requirements. <br />Administrator Brown said Station 14 is in the Capital Plan to build next year, <br />and the Long Term Plan shows that it will be staffed next year, which will have <br />a 7.5% to 8% impact on the millage rate. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Zorc to direct staff to contract with a real estate service to <br />establish available parcels at the 82nd Avenue and 20th Street node, and to show what sites are <br />available on the open market for purchase, and to bring the information back to the Board at the <br />January 10, 2017, Board of County Commission meeting. The motion died for lack of a second. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the proposed site for Fire Station 14; the size and <br />cost differences between Station 13 and 14; rates and bids from subcontractors; <br />and controlling costs throughout the process. <br />John O'Connor, President of the International Association of Firefighters <br />(IAFF) Local 220, supported staffs recommendation and stressed the need for <br />additional fire stations that include a minimum of three bays, for future <br />expansion. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 2 <br />
