Contract: $4,024,644.00
Substantial Completion: May 2021
Owner: Lakeside Fire Protection District
Owner: Contact: Humberto Lawler
Scope: The primary scope of the project is to update the existing Lakeside Station #03 with modern amenities and technology to best serve the first responders. Due to the age of the existing station, structural upgrades, including shot-crete walls and additional strapping, are required to meet current CBC. Bunk rooms, offices, restrooms, the kitchen and dayroom will all be remodeled with modern finishes, new windows, casework, and fixtures. The flooring will be a combination of luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and sealed concrete. The station will get a new roof, a VRF type HVAC system, upgraded electrical and low voltage systems, new overhead doors, and new vehicle exhaust extraction system. Along with the vehicle exhaust system EC Constructors has integrated negative pressure to ensure possible contaminants remain outside of the living space. A new fire sprinkler system is to be run throughout. The facility will have a modernized, upgraded fitness room with a rollup door leading to a patio that can be used for both fresh air and an outside exercise space. A decontamination room will be added as well as a turnout locker room with substantial ventilation. A space is set aside for the installation of an extractor and dyer for turnout gear.
The training room in this facility also doubles to serve the public as a polling place for elections. An ADA accessible front lobby and restroom are designed into the space for public use. The main building will get a “facelift” by removing an existing soffit and adding architectural plaster and rock veneer. Exterior signage will be upgraded to a more modern look and be more visible than its current state. Minor changes to the exterior paving and fencing will be performed to facilitate better parking and access to the lobby. A wash station with valves to switch from storm drainage piping to sanitary sewer piping will be constructed to allow the fire personnel to wash their vehicles and gear onsite.
