The project involves the construction of a new approximate 22,441SF headquarters fire station to replace the current Fire Station #1. Proposals will only be considered from qualified firms demonstrating expertise in the construction of fire stations and other public safety facilities. The city requires a qualified firm to provide all necessary CMAR pre-construction and construction services as it pertains to architectural, mechanical, electrical, civil and structural designs, specifications and drawings required for permitting, bidding, and construction of the subject fire station. The City of Wadsworth plans to construct a new approximate 22,441SF headquarters fire station to replace current Fire Station #1 which is located at 153 North Lyman Street. The existing Station #1 is (58) years old and does not provide all of the necessary functions required of a modern Fire and EMS facility. The City acquired approximately (3) acres consisting of (5) parcels located at 329 through 351 College Street and adjoining city-owned Memorial Park. The residences located on the parcels are vacant and the parcels are serviced by a fully developed infrastructure system.
