Jamestown Rural Fire District purchased an existing building and site to expand their services.
Existing facility was not large enough to meet their needs, especially with growing apparatus size
EAPC provided schematic design and estimating/budgeting for mill levy support, which was approved in June 2018
Existing building was completely renovated to include new administration space, community/training room space, a full kitchen, and space for firefighting support and equipment
New entrance welcomes visitors and serves as a focal point for the building
Building addition serves the essential emergency service functions
Addition is a pre-engineered metal building with 5 apparatus bays for 10 apparatus/vehicles, a decontamination room, a designated space for turn-out gear and lockers, dispatch, and a storage mezzanine
Project also identified areas and planned for potential future expansion
Site includes landscaping and paving improvements along with stormwater control features
Entire building has a fire suppression system, completely new heating and ventilation system, and electrical and lighting system
Owner partnered with the USDA Rural Development – North Dakota office to provide funding support for the project
USDA-RD funded projects must be within the established budget
Defined priorities and developed possible alternates to ensure a successful bid
Jamestown Fire Department was able to include alternates and stay within budget, including extra site work elements such as paving and an emergency generator
