Site work and new construction of a municipal facility in Yuma, Arizona. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a 3,200-square-foot municipal facility; and for site work for a municipal facility.

Design and Construct a new approximate 3200 square foot office building for Emergency Management staff, support and volunteers, as well as a new approximately 1200 square foot storage facility. Construction is planned to take place at the Public Works site in close proximity to the existing Emergency Operations Center and radio support trailer. Emergency Management currently shares a 1440 SF trailer with the Health Department's Emergency Preparedness division on the north property line of the Health Department facility at 2200 W. 28th Street. Emergency Management spends a large proportion of time at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) at Public Works, conducting training classes or working with volunteer groups in a space that accommodates approximately 75 individuals. The distance between their two bases of operations, their lack of meeting space and office facilities in their current trailer, and shortage of viable storage space for volunteer supplies and equipment makes it desirable to relocate to the Public Works site into a facility large enough to accommodate their needs. Justification/Operational Impact: Changes to the Health District Campus require that Emergency Management vacate its current location. It is anticipated that a "new energy efficient building" will not have a material impact on operational expenses.
