During a regularly scheduled Board Meeting in May, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners voted to replace two fire stations and add three fire stations to areas that don't have adequate fire protection. Commissioners identified five different locations: Pleasant Grove (replacement), Myrtle Grove (replacement), Paradise Beach (New-Bauer Road), Cantonment (New-Kingsfield Road), and Brownsville (new-location to be determined). This Request for Letters of Interest (RLI) pertains to the architectural design and construction administration services for two of those fire stations, Myrtle Grove (replacement) and Paradise Beach (new-Bauer Road). The County desires to hire an architect to prepare a 100% design package for two new fire stations to accommodate a single concept that will be versatile and flexible enough to apply to different circumstances/sites while considering expandable apparatus bays, private sleeping quarters, a well-designed living space, training areas, and a fitness center, decontamination control center, integrated technology and security system, natural lighting and ventilation, durable, requiring low maintenance, and could accommodate future expansion if needed. The architectural firm will provide limited Construction Administration services including, but not limited to, bidding assistance, submittal review, Owner/Architect/Contractor meetings, document management, and warranty management services (1-year post-construction) as part of this contract award. Although the design contract will be awarded to a single architectural firm, the County intends to expedite the construction of these projects. The construction of these stations will be bid either separately or in a group as designs are completed.
