Selma City Council OKs construction contract for fire station remodel

The Selma Fire Department is one step closer to increasing operational efficiency at Selma Fire Station No. 1, located at 9375 Corporate Drive.

Selma City Council approved a construction contract with Field Construction for the loft to bunk remodel July 10.

The details

The contract has a maximum price of $314,154 and a price not to exceed $329,861, which is a 5% contingency for potential added construction costs. Field Construction was awarded the construction contract in February, and recently completed design documents that were accepted by Fire Chief Kyle McAfee, City Administrator Johnny Casias said.

Digging deeper

Funding is part of the 2024-25 fire department operating budget. The project will accommodate the fire department’s addition of fire battalion chiefs, including a dedicated chief’s quarters with an additional bunk room, new bathroom and shower facilities, according to previous reporting by Community Impact.

Next steps

Casias told Community Impact that construction will begin no later than 45 days from the contract signing, and that construction on the remodel will be complete within 120 days, or in mid-November.
