Title
Presentation on Wythe Fire Station Budget Request
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
This presentation is a request to increase the budget currently allotted for construction of the new Wythe Fire Station. The requested increase will allow for the addition of items that the Hampton Fire and Rescue Division believe are essential in the new Wythe Fire Station.
Discussion:
The construction of a new Wythe Fire Station has been under consideration for more than a decade. The project was delayed as the City searched for an appropriate site to meet all the requirements for the new station. In 2020, a site was selected. The current Capital Improvement Plan allocation for this project is $7,532,144. Due to programming needs, unanticipated costs associated with the selected site and escalating construction costs, a number of sacrifices had to be made from the Fire and Rescue Division’s original design for the Wythe Station. The Fire and Rescue Division is requesting an additional $1,035,960 to cover the cost of items it believes to be essential to the new station that were cut from the design to meet the budget.
Impact:
An additional $1,035,960 will cover the cost of items Fire and Rescue believed to be essential to the new station that were cut from the design to meet the budget.
Recommendation:
Rec
No action requested.
