Funding adjustment for construction of Fire Station #10
Department:Fire, Chief Howard Willis
Caption:Motion to approve placing recaptured funds from site purchase funding into
construction fund for Fire Station #10.
Background:The Augusta Fire Department was awarded $2,000.000.00 in funding from
the Phase V SPLOST allocation for the construction of the new Fire station
#10. This allocation was to be used for the purchase of the site, construction
and associated cost for the building of this facility. We are now prepared to
move forward with this project at this time and are asking for permission to
move funding into this account to begin construction.
Analysis:Of the $2,000.000.00 funding allocation, we were anticipating to spend up
$700,000.00 for the purchase of the construction site due to the needed
location to provide fire protection for Station 10’s district. We were
fortunate to purchase a site on Alexander Dr. for $475.000.00 saving
$225,000.00 of this funding that has been recaptured and placed back in our
Phase V funding. The original approximated budget for construction of the
fire station was $1,275.000.00. The estimated cost that we have received
from our architect due to escalated construction cost is now $1,500,000.00.
We are requesting that we be allowed to move the recaptured funds from our
construction site purchase into our construction budget to help offset the
increase in construction cost. These recaptured funs were part of the original
$2,000,000.00 SPLOST V allocation for this project.
Financial Impact:Funding for this project is available in the SPLOST V allocation for
property purchase and construction cost.
Alternatives:None at this time
Recommendation:Move recaptured property acquisition funds into the costruction budget to
consolidate funds for this project and move forward with construction.
