Over the past year, the fire department has been having luck filling daytime <br />response with firefighters that work from home. We have allowed firefighters some space within our offices at <br />the fire station to work. By allowing firefighters the space at the fire station to work, it helps the fire department <br />gain more daytime firefighters and a quicker response in the event of an emergency call. <br /> <br />Over the last several years the City of Hugo has been making updates to the fire station that was built in 1999, <br />and our next project is the office area. It is time to update the open office area, paint common areas (not <br />including the apparatus bays), update a drinking fountain with a drinking fountain/bottle filler, and do some <br />carpet cleaning. <br />With this project the City of Hugo would provide USB Hubs, dual monitors, and other necessary equipment for <br />firefighter provided computers to function in the office environment. I have decided to do the general contracting <br />portion of the project myself and have some demolition, and computer setup work done by firefighters. All <br />painting, drywall repairs, office furniture, carpet cleaning, plumbing, and other miscellaneous work will be done <br />by contractors. We have solicited several quotes from different companies to complete this project. Some items <br />we currently own will be repurposed and reused for the project. We have reviewed all quotes and would like to <br />move forward in approving companies that provided us with the lowest quote to start our project in January <br />2025. <br /> <br /> Office Furniture: SOS office Furniture, $10,480.25  <br /> Plumbing: Davis Mechanical Systems, $2,411.00  <br /> Painting: Fresh Paint, $8,120.00  <br /> Carpet cleaning: $650.00  <br /> Items bought and provided by the City of Hugo: Computer monitors, keyboards, computer mice,  <br />docking stations, printer, miscellaneous cords, etc. $3,000.00  <br />o CIP expected expense: $24,661.25  <br /> Fire Department Budget for Firefighters labor: $1,000  <br />City of Hugo Fire Department <br />5323 140th Street North <br />Hugo, Minnesota 55038 <br />PH: (651) 762-6362 FAX: (651) 429-3212
