Renovation of a municipal facility in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

This project seeks to make improvements to the main fire headquarters administrative office area. The project would include an evaluation of the main administrative office areas and evaluate the opportunity to move all administrative positions into the main first floor office area. The project entails an evaluation in 2025 with proposals and cost estimates, and construction would begin in 2026. An engineering firm is currently evaluating the HVAC for appropriate design which will also tie this fire administration office design, the bunk room design, the fire station exhaust system needs together for the most appropriate and efficient use of funding. The CIPs listed above, all have an engineering and design component that will be impacted heavily by the HVAC redesign and configuration CIP. Creating individual bunk rooms from an open space will reguire HVAC engineering as well as changing the fire headquarters office layout. Finally, ensuring the exhaust system selected works in harmony with the building HVAC design will be critical, working each of these projects separately will be a duplication of engineering efforts and increase the overall cost. This project is included in the city's fy 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program. As of July 12, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been released. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
