<br />FROM: Doug Wright, Director

<br />SUBJECT: Funding Authorization and Award Bid #5096 - Fellsmere
<br />Fire Station Renovation
<br />It is respectfully requested that the information contained herein be
<br />given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at
<br />the meeting scheduled for September 5, 1995.
<br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
<br />On May 17, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved funding
<br />in the amount of $100,000 to renovate the Fellsmere Fire Station in
<br />FY 1994/95 and $314,000 to construct a new emergency services station
<br />in FY 1997/98 with funding from the Optional One Cent Sales Tax
<br />revenue. Due to the length of the process to obtain land and
<br />complete plans for a new station, staff began the process of
<br />attempting to locate suitable property along the CR 510/CR 512
<br />Corridor for the new station location in 1994. After contacting
<br />several property owners in the area, it was clear to staff that the
<br />$314,000 budgeted for the later project would be insufficient given
<br />the price of property and cost of new construction.
<br />On March 14, 1995, the Board of County Commissioners approved the
<br />Architectural Agreement with the firm of Edlund & Dritenbas to
<br />provide professional architectural services for the station
<br />renovation project. At that time, staff informed the Board that the
<br />approach planned would be to direct the architect to plan the
<br />renovation of the Fellsmere Station as a permanent facility, in lieu
<br />of expending funds to renovate the structure as a temporary facility
<br />and later building a new station at another site. It appeared this
<br />would be a more prudent approach which would provide a functional
<br />emergency services station at a cost of less than the $414,000
<br />allocated.
<br />The architect completed the plans and bids were advertised. The bids
<br />on the Fire/EMS Station #10 ( Northwest Station) were opened on August
<br />9, 1995, and the following bids were received:
