DISCUSSION
Background
Fire Station Nos. 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11 & 14 are located at various locations in the City (Attachment A - Vicinity Map). Exterior maintenance of the fire stations has been deferred for numerous years. The Fire Station Nos. 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11 & 14 Exterior Painting project will repaint the designated fire stations to preserve the longevity of the buildings. Fire Station Nos. 5 and 14 have metal roofing that will be repainted as well as part of the preventative maintenance. The painting also includes out buildings, light poles, fences, gates, bollards, and storage containers within the premises of the fire stations. The project was included in the 2021-2026 Five-Year CIP. Construction is anticipated to be completed by summer 2022.
On July 26, 2016, Council adopted a Community Workforce and Training Agreement (CWTA). The CWTA became effective on August 25, 2016, and applies to all Public Works projects over $1 million that are bid after that date. On July 16, 2019, by Motion No. 2019-07-16-1403, Council extended the CWTA term to August 25, 2024. The CWTA was not applied to this project as the estimated construction cost is less than $1 million.
