Site work and new construction of a fire / police facility in Great Falls, Montana. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a fire / police facility; and for site work for a fire / police facility.

GFFR had its current stations and response areas set in the 1970's. The City should request a consulting company to evaluate GFFR's response areas and produce a plan for a new station to offer better first due coverage and quicker response time in order to better serve the needs of the city. One of GFFR's strategic goals is to reduce response times. With the city growing outwards, response times are increasing due to greater distances being traveled to get to calls. Also, GFFR currently has four fully staffed first due apparatus, and often times all 4 of the resources are assigned to incidents, leaving a gap in coverage to the rest of the city. The City should consider an expansion to GFFR to better serve the citizens of Great Falls. -Bids would have to be acquired for accurate cost projections.
