TIME FOR CONVENING HAS ARRIVED. I'D LIKE TO CALL THIS MEETING OF THE SANDY SPRINGS CITY
[ I. Staff Discussion Items ]
COUNCIL TO ORDER. THE FIRST ITEM IS OUR WORK SESSION, AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIRE STATIONS ONE AND FOUR. CHIEF SANDERS, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, I HAVE WITH ME TONIGHT CHRIS COGDILL FROM WITH HUSSEY, GAY BELL, HE'S THE LEAD ARCHITECT ON THESE PROJECTS, AS WELL AS JOHN PICKENS, WHO IS THE ENGINEER WITH. AND ALSO SEAN'S NOT HERE, BUT SEAN NIX IS ALSO ON THE TEAM. THEY'RE DOING A FINE JOB FOR US. SO IT'S SO EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU STATION FOUR. THIS IS A 3D WALK THROUGH, AND IF YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND START PLAYING THE VIDEO, WE'LL GO THROUGH IT. THAT'S CHIEF DESMOND ON THE MOTORCYCLE GETTING FUEL IN THE BACK. AND MAYOR, I'D ASK THEM TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE OUT FRONT HERE, BUT THEY FORGOT TO PUT HAIR, SO I GUESS IT'S ME. BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE GOING THROUGH, I'M NOT GOING TO STOP THE VIDEO BECAUSE IT'S IT'S AROUND A TEN MINUTE, BUT ALSO GO THROUGH THE STATION AS WELL. IT WILL GO UPSTAIRS. I MEAN, GO IN THE BACK TO THE LOGISTICS BUILDING AND SHARE, SHARE YOU WITH WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. THIS IS THE FOUR YEAR. WHAT'S REALLY REMARKABLE ABOUT THIS. THIS WALK THROUGH, IT REALLY GIVES US THE ABILITY. THIS RIGHT HERE WILL BE A.LOUNGE ROOM WHERE THE GUYS CAN STAY DOWNSTAIRS DURING THE DAY AND REALLY HELP WITH RESPONSE TIME. THEY, THEY CAN COME HERE IN THE, DURING THE DAYTIME AND IT'S CLOSER TO THE TRUCKS VERSUS HAVING TO COME DOWN THE STEPS OR THE FIRE POLE. THIS IS GOING INTO THE IN THAT ROOM YOU JUST THERE WAS IN ALSO, THAT'S WHERE THE ELEVATOR AND THE BATHROOM IS. THIS IS THE BAY WHERE THE APPARATUS WILL BE SITTING. THERE'S OTHER ROOMS OFF TO THE SIDE ON THE, ON THE FAR LEFT SIDE, AS YOU'RE APPROACHING. THIS DOOR IS WHERE THE HOT ROOM IS, WHERE THEY DO ALL THE CLEANING. THIS IS THE PHYSICAL AGILITY ROOM. THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE SOME TURF OUT THERE. THEY USE SLEDS. WE'LL ALSO USE THIS AREA FOR OUR ANNUAL FITNESS PARTS OF THE FITNESS EXAM. AND WHAT I REALLY LIKE ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGY IS WE CAN ACTUALLY GO THROUGH EACH ROOM. ONCE CHRIS GIVES US THE DIRECTION TO DO, TO GO THROUGH AND START EVALUATING EACH ROOM TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTLETS ARE CORRECT, THAT ALL THE FEATURES THAT WE INTENDED TO HAVE IN EACH ROOM OR IN THE CORRECT LOCATION, IT REALLY GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THOSE ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD THEY NEED NEED TO BE MADE. AND AS I SHARED WITH YOU, YOU KNOW, IT'S A TWO STORY FIRE STATION. SO THEIR STATION LIFE WILL BE UP THE TOP HERE. THIS IS ALSO ON THE LEFT HAND CORNER. THIS IS WHERE THE ELEVATOR COMES UP ON THE RIGHT. AND THEN ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU'LL SEE A CLASSROOM, WHICH IS ALSO A CONFERENCE ROOM THAT WILL BE SHARED AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SHOULD THEY WANT TO HOLD MEETINGS. IN THE FACILITY. AND THIS WILL BE A TRAINING CLASSROOM AS WELL FOR PERSONNEL. NOW THEY'RE GOING TO GO INTO THE THE LOCKER ROOM. THIS IS A JOINT LOCKER ROOM. WE WHERE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO WASH THEIR UNIFORMS AS WELL AS THEIR BED LINEN HERE. AND WE'VE GOT FIVE INDIVIDUAL BATHROOMS WITH SHOWERS IN THERE. INSTEAD OF HAVING A GROUP SHOWER SETTING LIKE WE DID AT STATION TWO, WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING INDIVIDUAL SHOWER AND BATHROOM BATHROOMS IN THIS STATION. THIS GOES INTO
[00:05:16]
THE DAY ROOM. THIS IS WHERE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO GOT THESE TOUCHDOWNS STATIONS THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING WHERE THEY CAN DO THEIR TRAINING AND COMPUTER AND REPORT WORK. AND TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE AS YOU GO INTO THE BACK, THAT'S WHERE BELLINI'S IS, THE BUILDING SITS TODAY. THIS IS THE KITCHEN. AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE NEW TO COUNCIL, THERE'S THREE. EACH SHIFT HAS ITS OWN REFRIGERATOR. THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. OWN PANTRY. YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE OTHER CREW'S FOOD. SO WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE INDIVIDUAL REFRIGERATORS FOR THE SHIFTS.AND THIS IS OUTSIDE WHERE THEY CAN DO THE GRILLING. AND THAT BUILDING IN THE DISTANCE, THERE IS THE LOGISTICS BUILDING, WHICH WILL BE IN THE BACK OF THE FACILITY OR BACK OF THE PROPERTY. WE LIKE TO ADD WITH IT. ONE THING THAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO IS PUT A WINDOWS AT THE END OF HALLWAYS TO GET DAYLIGHTING INSIDE THE STATION HELPS A LOT WITH OUR QUALITY OF LIFE. SO YOU'RE NOT LOOKING IN A DARK HALLWAY. THIS WILL BE STATE OF THE ART IN TERMS OF SAFETY FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS, HEALTH AND SAFETY, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, THE HOT ZONE KEEPING SEPARATE FROM THE EXHAUST AND THE FUMES AND THE CONTAMINANTS, ALSO HAS THE.
ALERTING SYSTEM SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAKE UP THE WHOLE FIREHOUSE. THE ONLY ONES THAT WILL GET WOKEN UP AT NIGHT FOR A CALL IS WHO NEEDS TO BE ON THAT CALL. THE LIGHTS DIM UP SLOWLY SO THEY DON'T HAVE SHOCK IN THEIR EYES. ALL THESE THINGS CONTRIBUTE TO THE A WELFARE. OF THOSE THAT WILL SERVE HERE. IT'S NOT A TAJ MAHAL BY ANY MEANS, BUT IT IS A QUALITY.
FACILITY FOR THOSE THAT ARE GOING TO LIVE AND WORK THERE. ONE OF THE IDEAS THAT CHIEF HAD IN IN THE LOCKER ROOM, I THOUGHT THIS WAS GREAT. THEY CAN COME IN FOR SHIFT CHANGE AND NOT HAVE TO WAKE SOMEBODY UP. IF THEY WANT TO GO WORK OUT, THEY CAN GO PUT THEIR STUFF IN THE LOCKER ROOM AND NOT DISTURB ANYBODY ELSE. I THINK THAT'S A A VAST IMPROVEMENT OVER WHAT WE DID AT TWO AND FIVE. AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE Y'ALL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT, WE'RE HAPPY TO. HELP HOW WE CAN. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS APPROACHING THE LOGISTICS BUILDING HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN THAT PROPERTY THERE, BUT BEHIND THIS BUILDING IS IS A PROTECTED AREA. IT HAS FIVE SMALL STREAMS IN THERE. I MADE THE COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY THAT WE WOULD NOT ENCROACH INTO THAT AREA. AND WE ARE WE'VE DESIGNED IT TO WHERE WE'RE NOT IN THAT AREA. AND THERE'S ALSO WATER RETENTION BEHIND THIS BUILDING HERE TO MANAGE THE WATER THAT WILL ACCUMULATE ON THIS PROPERTY. THIS IS THE LOGISTICS BUILDING WITH HOUSE CLASSROOMS. WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY LIVE BURN, LIVE FIRE TRAINING ON THIS SITE, BUT THEY WILL HAVE CLASSROOM HERE IN THE FACILITY. THERE'S TWO CLASSROOMS. THIS WAS ALSO BE A WARMING CENTER DURING THE WINTER. IF WE HAVE TO HOUSE PEOPLE THAT ARE HOMELESS, AND IF WE EVER HAVE EMERGENCY EVENT WHERE WE NEED SOMEONE TO A PLACE TO PEOPLE TO STAY OVERNIGHT, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO STAY THERE. WHAT YOU JUST SAW IN THAT ROOM IS OUR LOGISTICS AREA. WE WILL HAVE RACKS THERE. WE KEEP QUITE A BIT OF SUPPLIES ON SIMILAR RACKS DOWN IN THE BASEMENT OF STATION FOUR, AND THEN THIS AREA HERE WE WILL STORE SOME OF OUR OUR RESERVE FIRE APPARATUS, BUT WE'LL ALSO DO OIL CHANGES. HERE. WE HAVE A MECHANIC THAT WE A THIRD PARTY VENDOR THAT COMES IN AND DOES THE OIL CHANGES. AND IF THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A TIRE, I MEAN REPLACE BRAKES, THEY'LL DO IT INSIDE THAT FACILITY. NO MAJOR MAINTENANCE WILL GO ON IN THAT
[00:10:05]
FACILITY, BUT IT'LL BE LIGHT MAINTENANCE THAT WE'RE NOW HAVING TO DO AT OTHER LOCATIONS.IT'LL REALLY SAVE THE CITY A LOT OF MONEY, BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE FACILITY. THAT'S THE SITE PLAN. STATION ONE WILL KIND OF LOOK SIMILAR TO THAT. THE FOYER AREA.
THE GLASS AREA WILL CHANGE. THE ELEVATION OF THE ROOF LINE WILL CHANGE, AND WE'LL BRING THAT TO YOU IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 MONTHS. MY PLAN MOVING FORWARD HERE, NOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN THIS TONIGHT, AND I'LL ENTERTAIN YOUR QUESTIONS, YOU MAY HAVE ON IT, BUT I PLAN TO MEET NOW WITH THE NEIGHBORS IN THAT AREA. DAN COFFER IS GOING TO SCHEDULE A MEETING. HE'S GOING TO WORK WITH THE CHURCH OVER THERE, WHERE HIGH POINT CIVIC ASSOCIATION MEETS. AND THEN I'VE MADE A COMMITMENT TO MR. NEWBERRY THERE IN THE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL COME OVER.
HE WANTS US TO COME AND HAVE A BACKYARD COOKOUT AND SHARE WITH THEM. SO WHATEVER WE'VE GOT TO DO TO HELP THEM AND, AND MAKE SURE, GIVE THEM THE PEACE OF MIND THAT WE'RE VERY SENSITIVE TO WHAT THEIR CONCERNS ARE. AND WE'RE WE'RE COMMITTED TO WORKING WELL WITH THEM. AND I BELIEVE THEY'LL BE VERY EXCITED ONCE THEY SEE THE STATION AND WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT THERE. ANY QUESTIONS, MR. PAULSON? YES, SIR. TELL ME ABOUT THE MEN AND WOMEN FIREFIGHTERS AND HOW IS THERE A SEPARATE LOCKER ROOM FOR THE MEN AND THE WOMEN? HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU DO? SO THE THE ONE BIG LOCKER ROOM IS FOR MALE OR FEMALE. THE INDIVIDUAL RESTROOMS IS WHERE THEY WOULD. THEY'RE SEPARATE ONE. AND THEN THEY HAVE THEIR SEPARATE DORMS. THERE'S THREE SEPARATE LOCKERS IN THERE AS WELL IF THEY WANT TO PUT THEIR PERSONAL ITEMS IN THERE. BIGGEST THING FIREFIGHTERS, THEY USED TO TAKE THEIR UNIFORMS HOME BECAUSE OF THE BLOODBORNE PATHOGENS AND ALL THE CONCERNS. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT HOME TO THEIR KIDS. SO THEY KEEP ALL THEIR UNIFORMS IN THAT LOCKER ROOM THAT YOU SAW, AS WELL AS THEIR THEIR WORKOUT GEAR. AND THAT KIND OF EQUIPMENT WILL STAY IN THAT LOCKER ROOM. AND THEN THE INDIVIDUALS WEAR WHICHEVER DORM THEY HAVE. THEY'LL HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL LOCKER THERE, WHICH GIVES THEM MORE PRIVACY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? SANDERS. I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS. AT ONE POINT, WE THOUGHT THAT WE HEARD THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A POLICE PRECINCT AS PART OF THIS.
IT WAS OUR GOAL TO PUT A SMALL POLICE PRECINCT THERE, BUT THE FUNDS ARE JUST NOT ALLOWING US TO DO THAT. IT WAS GOING TO BE AN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SIDE OF THAT BUILDING, BUT IT'S JUST IT'S NOT POSSIBLE. NOW WE'LL HAVE A, A, A SINGLE GAS PUMP THERE AND A DIESEL FUEL PUMP THERE FOR THE TRUCKS. AND THE POLICE CAN COME IN IN THE BACK THERE. THERE'LL BE A GATE THERE ON THAT DRIVEWAY, AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE CODE ACCESS TO GO INTO THE BACK AND TO UTILIZE THAT. BUT NO, THERE WILL NOT BE THE POLICE OFFICERS. CHIEF DE SIMONE, THE POLICE OFFICERS ARE WELCOME ANYTIME IN THE FIRE STATION. THEY'RE WELCOME TO BE THERE. IT'S A CITY BUILDING. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE SEEN OTHERWISE? NO. THEY'LL COME IN AT NIGHT TO WAKE THOSE GUYS UP.
THAT'S WHAT THEY'LL DO. MAYOR. OKAY, A COUPLE OTHER QUESTIONS. AND I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY THAT BOTH THE MAIN BUILDING AND THE LOGISTICS BUILDING HAVE CLASSROOMS THAT THE PUBLIC CAN UTILIZE. THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. THEY WILL BE ACCESSIBLE. GREAT. AND THEN CAN YOU DESCRIBE WHAT'S HAPPENING BEHIND THE LOGISTICS BUILDING? YEAH, JOHN DESIGNED THE THE WATER RETENTION. SO THIS IS JOHN PICKENS. HI, JOHN. HOW ARE YOU DOING? SO BEHIND THE LOGISTICS BUILDING IS BASICALLY THE TOPOGRAPHY DROPS OFF. HOLD ON JUST A SECOND. IS THIS IS THAT MIKE ON? YEAH. ANTON. SORRY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? IF YOU WOULD. THANK YOU. BEHIND THE LOGISTICS BUILDING, THE TOPOGRAPHY DROPS OFF SHARPLY, DROPS OFF ABOUT 30FT. AND THEN THERE'S A RIVER OR A CREEK DOWN IN THAT DRAW. BUT IN BETWEEN THE THE THE RIVER AND THE AND THE BACK OF THE LOGISTICS BUILDING WILL BE OUR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT. AND THAT'S WHERE WE MITIGATE THE RATE OF RUNOFF FROM FROM THE PROPERTY. SO THERE'S ALSO WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS WHERE YOU HAVE TO CAPTURE THE FIRST BIT OF WATER AND TREAT IT TO REMOVE PARTICULATES FROM IT. SO IT'S A LOT OF PONDS. BASICALLY, IT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE. I EXPECT THAT THE FEEDBACK FROM THE NEIGHBORS IS GOING TO BE TO SAVE AS MANY TREES AS POSSIBLE. THAT'S WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT TOUCHING ANY OF THOSE TREES THAT ARE IN THE BACK, BACK THERE. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S ALL
[00:15:01]
PROTECTED BY STATE WATER BUFFERS. OKAY. SO WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO BACK IN THERE.YEAH. THEY I DON'T THINK YOU'VE SHOWN THAT VIDEO TO THE PUBLIC YET. YOU FOLKS WERE THE FIRST.
NOW WE WILL SHARE IT WITH YOU. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANT TO THROW A COUPLE TREES IN THERE SO IT DOESN'T LOOK SO. WELL. WE WILL THIS IS THIS IS CONCEPTUAL. OKAY. AND WE WILL HAVE FINAL RENDERINGS OF WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. AND I CAN COMMIT TO YOU THAT WE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF LANDSCAPE THAT WILL BE THERE TO PROTECT THAT AREA. THANK YOU. YOU HAVE MY WORD ON THAT. OKAY.
LAST QUESTION. THE FIRE PERSONNEL WHO ARE AT THE CURRENT STATION, DO THEY GET ANY SAY AND WERE THEY INTERVIEWED? HAVE THEY SEEN THIS? WHAT DO THEY THINK ABOUT IT? I HAVE I HAVE MET WITH THEM ON, ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. I ALLOWED THEM TO PUT TOGETHER A LIST. WE'VE. THAT'S WHY YOU NOW SEE THE THE THE WORKOUT ROOM DOWNSTAIRS INSTEAD OF UPSTAIRS.
THEY VOICED THAT THEY WANTED THAT THEY WANTED A SEPARATE LOCKER ROOM. THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE THAT NOW. SO I DID LISTEN TO THEM. THANK YOU. IT'S AMAZING HOW FIREFIGHTERS HAVE CHANGED. WHEN I GOT IN THE FIRE SERVICE IN 1979, WE HAD A SHEET OF BEDSPREAD AND AND, AND A PILLOWCASE. TODAY THEY HAVE TEDDY BEARS, DISIMONE. THEY HAVE PILLOWS MORE THAN ONE AND THEY HAVE BLANKETS. I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. SO WE LISTENED TO THAT AND WE GIVE THEM PLENTY OF PLACES TO PUT THAT. WELL, WHEN YOU STARTED IN THE FIRE SERVICE, IF YOU HAD AN OPINION, THE CHIEF SAID, IF YOU NEEDED AN OPINION, WE'LL GIVE YOU ONE. IS THAT RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT. SO SHARING WITH YOU NOW, IF YOU COULD SLIDE BACK UP TO THE FIRST COUPLE OF SLIDES. SO HERE IS THE OUTSIDE OF IT. THE NEXT SLIDE. THIS SHOWS YOU THE LAYOUT OF THE STATION. THIS WILL BE IDENTICAL. SAME LAYOUT AT STATION ONE. LIKE I SAID WITH THE ELEVATION WILL CHANGE SOMEWHAT ON THE LEFT SIDE THERE THE FIRST FLOOR THE LEFT SIDE IS THAT HOT ZONE AND THE GEAR LOCKER ROOM. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE TRAINING TOWER IN THE BACK.
THE TRAINING TOWER WILL HAVE NO FIRE IN THERE, BUT THEY CAN GO IN THERE AND, AND, AND FLANK HOSE OUT AND ACTUALLY UTILIZE WATER INSIDE THAT TRAINING TOWER. AND THEY'LL DO A LOT OF RAPPELLING. AND OUTSIDE THERE'S A, THERE'S A WALKWAY ON THE TOP FLOOR OF THAT GIVES THEM SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO TRAIN IN THAT AREA. AND IT ALSO HELPS US WITH OUR ISO REQUIREMENTS. IS HAVING THIS THREE STORY TRAINING TOWER ATTACHED TO THE FIRE STATION.
AND THEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE, YOU SAW THAT AS WE WALKED THROUGH THERE. THEN ON THE TOP FLOOR, YOU SEE HOW IT'S LAID OUT THERE. I THINK CHRIS AND THEM DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WORKING WITH US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES FOR WHAT THE FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGED FROM WHAT IT WAS AT STATION TWO. THE NEXT SLIDE, LOGISTICS BUILDING. WE'RE RIGHT NOW GOING THROUGH VALUE ENGINEERING, THROUGH THE LOG OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO TO REDUCE COST. AS WE SHARED WITH YOU THE OTHER DAY IN THE COUNCIL BRIEFINGS, WE'VE ALREADY SAVED JUST BY TAKING SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS FROM THE CONTRACTOR ABOUT $1.2 MILLION WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE IN COST AND STILL PLEDGE TO REDUCE MORE. NEXT SLIDE. THIS IS THE LOGISTICS FACILITY, AND I WANT TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THAT THOSE CLASSROOMS YOU SEE ON THE LEFT ARE HAVE AN ACCORDION STYLE PARTITION THAT YOU CAN UTILIZE, BUT THAT WILL BE THE AREA THAT WE WILL ALSO TRANSITION INTO A WARMING CENTER EVERY YEAR. WE HAVE THAT CONCERN. AND I WANT TO SAY WE'RE COMMITTED TO MAKE THIS WILL HAVE GENERATE POWER, GENERATE GENERATOR TO AS BACKUP POWER FOR THE FACILITY. BUT WE'LL BE ABLE TO USE THIS AS A WARMING CENTER DURING OUR INCLEMENT WEATHER. AND I THINK IT'S A, IT'S A GOOD APPROACH FOR US. AND WE CAN MANAGE THAT WITHOUT HAVING TO RELY ON GETTING HOTEL ROOMS AND, AND TRYING TO FIND A LOCATION. NEXT SLIDE. AND THIS WAS A SITE PLAN THAT JOHN JUST SHARED WITH YOU. FIRE STATION ONE, AS WE SHARED WITH YOU IN THE BRIEFING THE OTHER DAY, WE'RE WORKING WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. GINGER'S WORKING WITH US HERE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE ON THIS, THIS SMALL LOT, BUT IT WILL BE A MUCH GREATER IMPROVEMENT ONCE WE GET THE BUILDING BUILT. AND THIS, THIS THIS PROJECT HERE WILL BE ABOUT THREE MONTHS BEHIND STATION FOUR PROJECT BECAUSE WE'RE STILL WAITING ON WE'VE GOT EVERYONE OFF OF THE. GOOGLE HAS LEFT THE PROPERTY WITH THAT HUT THEY HAD THERE. AND THEN WE'VE GOT TO TAKE DOWN THE RADIO TOWER AND BEEN
[00:20:01]
WORKING WITH LEGAL THERE AS WELL AS DAVE'S WORKING WITH FULTON COUNTY, AND I THINK WE HAVE ONE UTILITY STILL ON THERE, AND ONCE WE GET THAT UTILITY OFF, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT DOWN. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OFF OF IT BY OCTOBER. THE NEXT SLIDE.OKAY, DAVE. THANK YOU GUYS. OKAY. I'M GOING TO GO OVER THE TENTATIVE SCHEDULE FOR FIRE STATIONS ONE, TWO AND FOUR, FIRE STATIONS ONE, THREE AND FOUR. TONIGHT I'M GOING TO PRESENT SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRICING. THAT'S OUR FIRST LOOK AT PRICING. THAT DOES INCLUDE A V E IN THERE. JUNE WE WILL HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING FOR FIRE STATION FOUR TO INTRODUCE EVERYTHING THAT YOU'RE SEEING TONIGHT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IN JULY, WE WILL BEGIN DESIGN ON FIRE STATION THREE. SO NOW WE'RE GOING WE'RE GETTING INTO GMP ON THE PRICING OF ONE AND FOUR, AND WE'RE GOING TO START DESIGN ON FIRE STATION THREE. AND THAT'S A RENOVATION WITH AN ADDITION. 21ST OF JULY COUNCIL MEETING. WE'LL BRING YOU BACK HERE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, PRICING. AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE THAT'S WHEN OUR PRICES ARE A LITTLE MORE FINE TUNED. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND THEN 15TH SEPTEMBER IS WHEN WE ACTUALLY BRING TO THE PFA FOR YOUR APPROVAL, THE 100% CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE CALL IT, GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICING. THAT'S WHEN THE CONTRACTOR LOCKS IN THE PRICE, AND THEN HE'S AT RISK TO DELIVER THE PROJECT THAT THAT COST. OKAY. AND THAT'S FOR FIRE STATIONS ONE AND FOUR, BOTH OCTOBER, WE WILL BE MOVING THE CREWS OUT OF FIRE STATION ONE INTO THE NEW RENOVATED FACILITY UP ON ROSWELL ROAD. THE IT'S AN AERO LEASED BUILDING, AERO PEST CONTROL. ALSO, WE WILL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON FIRE STATIONS ONE AND FOUR IN OCTOBER. WE WILL BEGIN CONSTRUCTION ON FIRE STATION THREE IN JANUARY BEGINNING NEXT YEAR AND WE. WE EXPECT TO HAVE ALL THREE OF THESE PROJECTS FINISHED BY DECEMBER OF NEXT YEAR. OKAY, SO OUR AVAILABLE BUDGET RIGHT NOW IS 38,000,477 305. WE DIVIDED THAT INTO THREE DIFFERENT BUCKETS. FIRE STATION FOUR GOT 19,000,005 15385, FIRE STATION ONE GOT 16 MILLION 363 200 AND FIRE STATION THREE RIGHT NOW HAS 2.598 MILLION IN IT. OKAY, THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRICING, GENERAL REQUIREMENTS CAME IN JUST A LITTLE OVER A MILLION A ALLOTTED FOR FIRE STATIONS. ONE IS 9.7 MILLION FOR FIRE. STATION FOUR IS 10 MILLION. A LOGISTICS BUILDING IS 3.8 MILLION. SITE WORK FOR FIRE, ONE IS 3 MILLION AND SITE WORK FOR FIRE. STATION FOUR IS 4.8 MILLION. SO THE DESIGN PRICING. ONCE THE. ONCE WE GET A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE, ALONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, WE HAND THEM OVER TO THE GC AND THE GC GOES OUT AND BIDS FINDS THREE TRAITS OF THREE BIDS OF EACH TRAIT, AND THEY GIVE THEM THE THEIR THEIR ESTIMATED PRICE. THAT IS A A A CONSERVATIVE PRICE BECAUSE WE'RE NOT FULLY DESIGNED ON THE BUILDING. SO THAT'S WHY WE EXPECT THESE PRICES TO COME DOWN AS WE GET MORE AND MORE IN THE DESIGN. YOU CAN SEE THE FIRST OF THE CONTRACTOR CAME BACK WITH 1.4 MILLION, ACTUALLY 1.5 MILLION IN V AND THINGS LIKE THE GENERATOR BACKUP GENERATOR, THE ARCHITECT EXPECTED, I THINK IS 350KW, WHERE THE GC SAID, NO, WE CAN WE CAN MAKE THE BUILDING OPERATE AT 200KW. SO THAT'S A SAVINGS TO THE CITY. WE STILL HAVE. WE'RE STILL LOOKING AT ABOUT ANOTHER MILLION WORTH OF V. THAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE DESIGN ASPECTS OF THE BUILDING.
SO WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE CAREFULLY LOOKING AT THOSE WITH THE CITY MANAGER'S APPROVAL TO SEE IF SHE WANTS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THOSE INDIRECT COSTS. YOU CAN SEE THEIR GENERAL CONDITIONS, INSURANCE BONDING. AND THAT'S THE GC FEE AT 2.95% COMES IN AT 1.5 MILLION. AND WE'RE HOLDING TWO BIG CONTINGENCIES THE DESIGN CONTINGENCY AND A CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY. AS WE START DEVELOPING THE NEXT ROUND OF WHEN YOU GET INTO RD PRICING, YOU'LL SEE THOSE CONTINGENCIES START GOING DOWN AS. AS WE GET TO GMP, THEY'LL GET DOWN TO PROBABLY ABOUT 2%. AND THAT'S MORE SAVINGS THAT GOES BACK INTO THE BUDGET FOR FIRE STATION THREE. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT RIGHT NOW WE'RE AT 36 MILLION 741552. AND OUR AVAILABLE BUDGET WAS 38 MILLION 477 305 GIVES US LEFT OVER RIGHT NOW AT 1.735 WITH A DEFICIT FOR FIRE STATION THREE AT 862. STAFF FEELS CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THAT NUMBER DOWN TO WHERE WE'LL BE ABLE TO FULLY FUND FIRE STATION THREE AND THEN HAVE SOME MORE, BECAUSE WE'RE EXPECTING FIRE STATION TWO TO COME IN, PROBABLY AROUND $3 MILLION. ANY
[00:25:05]
QUESTIONS ON THE PRICING OR THE SCHEDULE? GO AHEAD. YES. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. SO AND THIS MIGHT BE MORE FOR FOR CHIEF. WE ARE GOING TO GET ONE OF THOSE LITTLE VIDEOS FOR FIRE STATION ONE. SO THAT IS A PROTOTYPE FIRE STATION. AND YES, YES WE WILL HAVE THE 3D, THE 3D. YEAH.CAN WE GET THAT. WE'LL GET THAT. YEAH. OKAY. THANKS. IT'S JUST AN EARLY DESIGN, BUT IT WILL WE WILL HAVE THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANKS, GENTLEMEN. THANK YOU.
