27 <br /> INTEROFFICE MEKO NDUM <br /> 1 <br /> TO: MICHAEL J.MORNSON <br /> FROM: JOEL A.HEWITT 1 <br /> SUBJECT: FIRE STATION RELOCATION COSTS COMPARISO <br /> DATE: 6/4/2003 <br /> CC: <br /> Background: <br /> Having to vacate our station facilities by September 1,2003 to facilitate the Amcon redevelopment. <br /> We have investigated several options to accommodate fire department operations for the period our <br /> new facility is constructed.The tentative construction schedule calls for construction to begin on our <br /> facility August 13,2003 and have a move in date of May 31,2004. <br /> We have calculated costs associated with the temporary relocation for the period of ten months <br /> beginning August 1,2003 and to conclude May 31,2004.The sites and cost are as follows,a <br /> breakdown of anticipated costs are attached. <br /> American Monarch Building located just west of Silver Lake Road on 37th.We would lease <br /> warehouse space for the apparatus,move a furnished manufactured home on site.We would also <br /> rent a storage POD for our famishing and supplies. <br /> Cost: $65,954 <br /> Ber er located just west of Public Works,we would move the manufactured home on site,purchase <br /> the Salt Storage building to be used with the new Public Works operation.The salt storage building <br /> could be modified to be lighted and heated to house the apparatus. Costs would include the initial <br /> construction or setup of the building and then to relocate it to the Public Works site once we move <br /> to our new facility. <br /> Cost: $37,954 <br /> Other Fire Departments have been contacted to house our first out Engine and our duty crew.We <br /> would then have to house our three remaining apparatus at Public Works,which would create a <br /> hardship on them for storage space during their construction phase.We have offered$1000 a month <br /> to offset any costs for having us in their facility.If we relocated to New Brighton or Columbia <br /> Heights our response time would increase 3 to 5 minutes on average,from our 2 minute 35 second <br /> response we now have.This may open us to a liability risk if response is delayed to a critical incident <br /> Cost•. $13,000 <br /> Construction 70 building located in the south industrial park can accommodate our complete <br /> operation without renting the manufactured home and off-site storage.We will have to make one <br />
