Palm Coast may soon move forward on replacing one fire station and building another.
Eric Gebo, a city architect, presented a resolution to approve project construction management and design services contracts to City Council on Feb. 14 for three individual projects. The contracts are for the new Fire Station 26, replacing Fire Station 22 and upgrading Fire Station 25.
Fire Station 22 will be moved less than a mile east of the existing Fire Station 22 to 350 Palm Coast Parkway, Gebo said.
The new Fire Station 26 will serve the area south of State Road 100 and west of Seminole Woods Boulevard. The new station will be on a 27-acre combined parcel on Seminole Woods Boulevard, central to service needs, Gebo said, and would allow for future expansion or additional buildings on the lot.
Fire Station 25, on Belle Terre Parkway, would receive new bay doors and the facility would be converted from propane to natural gas. Gebo said part of the contract would also be to perform a future needs assessment on the station during the scheduled work.
For design, SchenkelSchultz Architecture was selected for design services and Wharton-Smith, Inc. for the construction management services agreements.
The new fire stations will be funded through fire impact fees, while Station 25’s updates will stem from capital projects funds, Gebo said.
Design services will cost, collectively, just under $362,000 and the construction management contracts will cost just under $65,000, collectively, Gebo said.
