This document set comprises comprehensive architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical construction drawings for the Fire Station No. 2 Renovation & Expansion project located at 1710 E.

The project involves the renovation and expansion of the existing fire station's living quarters and support spaces, including the reconfiguration of interior spaces to create six individual bedrooms, two restrooms with showers, a remodeled kitchen and dayroom, an IT closet, and a dedicated office. An approximately 460-square-foot addition will be constructed on the east side of the existing living quarters, while the existing porch on the west side of the apparatus bays will be enclosed and converted into a gear storage room. The scope also includes the removal and replacement of exterior stone veneer, all affected gypsum board and insulation, ductwork, HVAC equipment, and associated controls serving the living quarters. The engineer's estimate of probable cost is $1,672,844, with a contract completion timeline of 365 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed.
