Body
ISSUE: In order to maintain operational standards during the construction of Smyrna Fire Station 2, the Smyrna Fire Department is requesting approval to temporarily relocate those response assets to a location within the same geographic area. Quality Tape and Label, located at the corner of N. Cooper Lake and Concord Rd, has agreed to lease a portion of their property to the City of Smyrna, for 10 months at a total cost of $10,000 to facilitate the placement of a "Job Trailer" type facility that would house all Smyrna Fire personnel during the construction time frame. Additionally, Action Mobile has provided a facility lease that would satisfy the facility requirements that totals $18,285.00.
BACKGROUND: The replacement of Smyrna Fire Station 2 is a project included within the approved 2016 SPLOST. The RFP has been awarded to BM&K Construction Co. for the construction of the new facility. Approval of this request will allow the Smyrna Fire Department to keep those response assets within that response area during construction, allowing established response standards to be maintained while the new facility is being constructed.
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION: Request approval.
