RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council
1 De-obligate funds of $110,000 in the Public Safety Improvements Fund for the far west Fire Station
Project to fund the construction of the battalion chiefs headquarters for Fire Station No 37 on Ray
White Road, and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the General
Fund by $382,718 and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated fund balance by the same
amount, and
3 Approve a transfer of $382,718 from the General Fund to the Public Safety Improvements Fund to
fund the construction of Fire Station No 37, and
4 Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriation in the
Public Safety lmprovements Fund by $382,718 from available funds, and
5 Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Keck and Company for the construction o1
the Fire Station No 37 for $409,518 and a duration of 180 calendar days.
DISCUSSION
Transfer Bond Funds
The 1986 Capital Improvements Program included $750,000 for the construction of a fire station in far
west Fort Worth Because the identified area for the fire station never fully developed, only $110,000 of
the $750,000 was sold._Currently, the $110,000 is still in bond funds and has not been spent.
The Fire Department has determined that Station No 37 is the best location for the headquarters of the
newly created sixth battalion Adding a headquarters to Station No 37 increases the funding level
necessary for construction Using the $110,000 in bond funds will mitigate the supplemental
appropriation needed from the General Fund
Supplemental Appropriation from General Fund
The cost is $409,518 for construction of Fire Station No. 37 The Transportation and Public Works
Department (T/PW) estimates that another $83,200 will be necessary to fund the following associated
project costs.
Generator $ 9,000
Fuef dispensing tanks $16,000
Water service and Impact Fees $13,000
Additional design costs $18,600
T/PW Inspection and Contract Management (1 5°!°} $ 6,100
Change Orders (5%) 2 500
TOTAL $$3,200

With the $110,000 from the bond funds, the project needs an additional $382,718 for construction,
which will be funded by a supplemental appropriation from the Generale Fund und'esignated, unreserved
fund balance
Award of Contract
North Fort Worth development has progressed to the point that an additional fire station is needed to
maintain acceptable response times. Currently there is no fire station between Station No 31, located
in the Park Glen area, and Station No 35, at the Alliance Airport, with a distance of ten miles between
them
While development of the area is proceeding, major infrastructure such as arterial streets have yet to be
constructed, making final location for a permanent station difficult at this time. Station No 37 will be a
temporary station built on Water Department land at the intersection of Ray White Road and Alta Vista
Road, roughly half way between Station Nos. 31 and 35 The Water Department is planning to build a
water storage tower at this site in about ten years, by which time the Fire Department will be able to
make a more informed decision about locating Station No 37 on a permanent basis.
Darrow McSpedden Sellers Architects prepared the construction documents. The architect's estimate
was $453,800 for the base bid and $27,700 to deduct Alternate No 1
