RE: Fire Station#45

Mr. Clements,
It is with great enthusiasm that RPGA Design Group, Inc. presents the following Services and Fee
Proposal for Fire Station #45 to the City of Fort Worth (Owner). This proposal reflects our anticipated
Professional Services for the Site Adaption of the new Fire Station #45 to be on the northwest corner at
the intersection of Harmon Road and Quail Grove Road in Fort Worth, Texas. We submit the following:
L Project Description
A. General Description: Fire Station#45 will be a site adaptation of Fire Station#43 with
approximately 10,500 total square feet, located on approximately 1.760 acres. Fire Station F
045 will be a one (1) story, two (2) company fire station with 3 apparatus bays. The new fire
station design will utilize the new Proto-type design currently in design for Fire Station#43 in
west Fort Worth. As a site adaptation we understand that the design for FS 45 will be
identical to FS 43 with the possibility of different exterior/interior colors and if necessitated
by the site, an Opposite Hand orientation of the building plans. Additionally, it is understood
that this Fire Station project will combined with Fire Station#43 and be bid together to be
constructed by one (1) General Contractor. The construction delivery method is anticipated
to be as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMR).

I
I
City of Fort Worth 2 Fire Station#45
emergency operation centers and fire, rescue, ambulance and police stations shall have
a storm shelter constructed in accordance with ICC 500." In discussion with the City of
Fort Worth Development Department we anticipate the size of the Tornado Shelter to be
approximately 450 sq. ft.
• Three full-size drive-thru Apparatus Bays
o Bunker Gear room
o Maintenance/Storage room
o Lawn Equipment Storage room
• Site Improvements
o Provide City of Fort Worth iSWM compliance
o Utility improvements on the site will be determined upon review of the further site
information to be provided by the City.
B. Site Requirements —Basic Services: The Fire Station #45 site is approximately a 1.76
acre site located on the northwest corner at the intersection of Harmon Road and Quail
Grove Road in Fort Worth, Texas.
The site design will provide for a "drive-through"fire station with separate employee parking
and visitor parking. The visitor parking will accommodate accessible parking and accessible
pedestrian access to the facility. The fire station will be sited to efficiently accommodate all
necessary entities. The design of the apparatus aprons, entry and egress, shall endeavor to
allow a minimum of 45 feet of depth from the property line to allow the apparatus to have
adequate area for off street maneuverability.
Structural foundation systems and soil stabilization procedures will be utilized to provide a
structurally sound building. The Owner is aware of the extremely expansive clays prominent
in the area and RPGA will strive to provide solutions that meet both the Owner's
maintainability requirements and budget. It is anticipated that a structured slab with carton h
forms will be utilized for this facility,
Landscape and Irrigation Design services will be limited to compliance with the City of Fort
Worth's minimum landscape, forestry and irrigation standards and any additional
requirements or restrictions imposed by local regulations. Trees will be proposed as
appropriate for this location and as required to assist in the passive solar design of this
facility. Security and or privacy fencing will also be provided as necessary.
I
C. Additional Site Requirements; Additional Services (if required): Additional site
information will be required to determine if additional services will required to bring utilities to
the site.
Electrical, telephone and gas utilities will be provided by the individual utility companies.
Any engineering and associated construction costs for these utilities are not included in this
proposal.
D. Exterior Design Features: The design of the new fire station will feature a design and
materials which complement its surroundings. In addition to the site requirements listed
above,the building components will be oriented to take advantage of passive solar
opportunities. Placement of trees, the placement of window and door openings and the t
color of exterior materials will also be designed and selected with passive solar
considerations.
E. Interior Design Features: Interior spaces will maximize the use of natural lighting and
create a fire station that facilitates the interactions of the fire fighters. Use of natural and N
artificial lighting will be utilized to enhance the quality and usability of the spaces. Selection
of materials will also consider the durability and maintainability of the material with life-cycle
cost considerations.

program. The design team will prepare approaches to the design. Sketch plans will be
developed, providing "broad brush" concepts to illustrate the potential of the given design.
RPGA will prepare a package consisting of the following: floor plans at 1/8"scale and

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of an architectural design contract in the
amount of$222,820.00 including reimbursable expenses with RPGA Design Group, Inc., for design
and construction administration services for Fire Station No. 45. (2018 Bond Program)
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this M&C is to authorize execution of an architectural design contract in the amount of
$222,820.00 including reimbursable expenses with RPGA Design Group, Inc., for design and
construction administration services for Fire Station No. 45.
Proposition D, Fire Safety Improvements, of the 2018 Bond Program authorized the construction of
two new fire stations in the amount of$11,741,000.00. Fire Station 45 is the first of these two new
stations to be designed and constructed.
The City Council authorized the acquisition of the land for Fire Station No. 45 on August 7, 2018,
(M&C L-16132). The site is located at 8747 Harmon Road, Tarrant County, Texas 76117.
On July 15, 2003, (M&C C-19661) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute an
Agreement with RPGA Design Group, Inc., (RPGA) for the design of Fire Station No. 38 and the
development of a prototype design for a two-company, three-bay fire station. Fire Station No. 45 will
be a prototype facility that will be identical to the design of Fire Station No. 43 (Far West) except for
site adaption. Using the same prototype design for both fire stations reduces the design costs by
approximately $200,000.00.
