Any improvements over the existing station will be the City's responsibility.

The design services include the design of a four bay, three-company fire station with associated parking and street work. The agreement will be for a fixed fee of$196,328 plus not more than $6,500 in special services and expenses. Komatsu Architecture, Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 36% M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 34%.
