Council approved a professional services agreement to design the fire station worth $1.08 million at its April 7 meeting. The contract is between the town and Martinez Architects, according to town documents.
The gist
Fire Station No. 6 currently operates out of a Public Works facility located at 6566 Stonecrest Road. The new dedicated fire station, which has a budget of $20 million, will be built on 6.64 acres owned by the town located at 6801 Canyon Falls Drive, per town documents.
“The fire station will take up a portion of the property,” Director of Public Works Brian Waltenburg said. “There will be some remaining area for future needs, if needed.”
Martinez Architects will eventually help staff select a construction manager at-risk for the project, which is expected to take place later this year, Waltenburg said. He added the firm will also help with:
- Completing the schematic and final design of the fire station
- Preparing necessary construction documents
- Overseeing the bidding process and administration of construction
Town officials are expected to approve a construction manager at-risk for the project this summer, Waltenburg said.
A timeline shown during the meeting projects construction to start in spring 2026 and complete in summer 2027.
