DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On April 6, 2021, the Board approved contracts with six (6) Construction Managers (CM), allowing the County to select a CM based on expertise, capacity, and availability. Facilities Management has assigned Dinkins Construction LLC to the Fire Station 11 Replacement Project.
The project involves the construction of a new 13,652-square-foot facility to replace the existing Fire Station 11, located on the same parcel as the Florida State Fire College. The new station will feature four apparatus bays, a classroom, and living accommodations for up to eleven personnel per shift. The design incorporates a "Hot-Warm-Cold Zone" layout as part of a cancer prevention initiative, which aims to reduce cross-contamination and mitigate long-term cancer risks. This zoning approach supports best practices in firefighter health and safety, addressing the elevated cancer risk associated with exposure to hazardous substances encountered during emergency response operations.
Substantial completion of the project is expected to take 365 calendar days from the start date on the notice to proceed, with an additional 60 calendar days allotted for final completion.
Attached for review is a draft contract. Upon approval at today’s meeting, it will be forwarded to Dinkins Construction, LLC, for signature, and once returned, it will be sent to Legal, the Clerk and Chairman for signatures.
