This is a Building Inventory Preservation document for the Oswegatchie Fire Department in Waterford, Connecticut, prepared to support the Town of Waterford's new fire station construction project (IFB #26-004). The inventory catalog comprehensively lists items to be preserved and relocated during the transition from the existing fire station located at 441 Boston Post Road to a new 9,988 square-foot facility. Items designated for preservation span multiple building areas, including basement exercise equipment, pool table, wall hangings, and trophies; apparatus bays containing an antique chalk call board, gear racks, a Toro snowblower, Zodiac boat with motor and trailer, and various tools; first-floor dayroom and kitchen areas with flat-screen television, trophy cases, wall pictures and plaques, kitchen appliances, and office furnishings; second-floor spaces including file cabinets, wall hangings, washer and dryer units, and a meat slicer; and exterior elements such as stone signage, memorial stones, flag poles, and company identification signage. The document indicates that certain items require ownership verification, with some IT equipment identified as property of the State of Connecticut and Town of Waterford, and specific notation that some storage building contents require further determination. The inventory reflects the requirement that the existing fire station remain fully operational until the new facility is complete, necessitating careful cataloging of departmental assets for seamless transition and relocation.

The Building Inventory serves as an essential planning document to ensure continuity of operations during the phased construction process and identifies specific items requiring special handling, relocation coordination, or ownership clarification prior to the existing building's eventual abatement and demolition upon completion of the new fire station. This detailed inventory prevents loss or damage to departmental equipment and historical items during the facility transition and supports the project timeline, with sealed bids due February 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM and a mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for January 15, 2026. The Town's competitive bid process requires compliance with Connecticut prevailing wage requirements and a 25 percent set-aside mandate for Department of Administration Services-certified small and minority-owned businesses, with the project duration set at 396 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed.
