Description/History
This contract has been negotiated by staff and reviewed by Drew Larkin of TOASE. Komatsu Architecture agrees to provide professional services for architectural and engineering services, including design, contract and construction administration for fire station number 5.
The program is defined as a new fire station with four apparatus bays, sleeping quarters for 10 staff and two officers, parking for two shifts and four public parking spots. The station will be located at the northwest corner of the intersection of S. Holland Road and National Parkway.
The station is estimated to be 13,354 SF with a construction cost of $5,341,600. Komatsu Architecture agrees to provide the basic services for a cost of $373,912, and an hourly rate for supplementary and additional services in accordance with the contract.

Justification
The southeast portion of the city has experienced huge growth over the last decade. This has led to a significant portion of the city’s population living in homes and working in businesses that lie beyond the 5-minute drive time goal established by the Fire Department and approved by City Administration. The location of this fire station will provide the citizens living in the southeast portion of the city the same coverage and response times as those living in the northwest and northeast portions of the city. The addition of this station, apparatus, and personnel will also increase the possibility of raising the city’s ISO rating from a 2 to 1.
