Remodeling of a fire / police facility in Dubuque, Iowa. Conceptual plans call for the remodel of a fire / police facility.

This project consists of the evaluation, design, architecture, and construction of individualized bunk space in each of the City's Fire Stations. The current layout utilizes one common bunk space for all members on shift for each station. Up to 8 members bunk in one common space within the bunk room. Modern layouts provide for more private options for bunking within fire stations and improve privacy while being progressive and financially responsible in design. The project is closely related to the fire headquarters HVAC CIP due to the configuration, design and engineering needs for the bunkroom, the administration office upgrade and the impacts the HVAC design would have on these spaces. 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. Budgeting includes $50,0000 to complete the design study of Station 1 and $125,000 to complete the design study of Stations 2-6. Construction funding is as follows: Station 1: $450,000, Station 2: $150,000, Station 3: $185,000, Station 4: $185,000, Station 5: 125,000, Station 6: $125,000 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.
