Re: Addition to Spit Brook RdStation —
Nashua Fire Rescue Department has completed the Architectural and Engineering phase of this
project. We are requesting Finance approval to move into the construction phase. The scope of
this project will encompass the construction of a 2-story addition, creation of a NFPA approved
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE / Gear) storage and maintenance area, and rehab of the
existing crew areas of the forty year old building.
We, along with our Architect (Port-One) and Construction Company Bonnette, Page & Stone
have completed an extensive process to obtain our best possible pricing for this project. After
months of review and vetting of subcontractors we are pleased to present a Guaranteed
Maximum Price of $1,312,166.00.
This project will entail some reconfiguration of the crew quarters to include a physical training
area and storage. We will also need to design a storage area that meets the NFPA 1500
requirements for the storage and maintenance of PPE (personal protective equipment). Most
importantly the completion of this project will afford Nashua Fire an increased operational
ability for seasonal adjustments we need to make.
This property is located at 124 Spit Brook Rd in Nashua, and currently houses 2 apparatus. This
building was constructed in 1977. It is the goal of the Fire Rescue Department to correct the
following:
e Meet the space needs of Nashua Fire Rescue for many years to come
Develop a plan to accommodate seasonal operational adjustment to better serve our
citizen
Meet current and future energy needs
e Provide current up to date facility that meets the needs of our personnel with regard to
safety and welfare, more specifically provide an area for proper PPE storage and
maintenance
e Address the space needs to accommodate current fire apparatus and possible future
needs of the southern portion of Nashua
This project has the full support of the Board of Fire Commission and Capital Improvements
Committee. The Board of Alderman through Resolution 16-040 passed the bond for this project
at $1,650,000.00. We have made it our goal to complete this project below that allotted amount.
