Project: 829140 - Fire Station Electrical Systems and Roll Up Door
Replacement Project Description/Scope/Purpose:
This project is to replace roll up doors, control components for the
ring down lighting systems, and main breakers for the electrical mains
at five fire stations (Fire Stations #1, 2, 3, 4, and 6). The doors at
fire station #1, 3 and 4 were completed in FY 2014/15. The doors at
fires station #2 & 6 were completed in FY 2019/20. The ring down
lighting system is an automatic control system that turns on all
lighting in the fire station when an emergency call comes in during
the evening, and turns off appliances like the stove and oven. This
allows the firefighters to respond quickly when a call comes in while
staff is sleeping. The current system is an antiquated group of
control contactors that are difficult to locate when repairs are
needed. There have been several interruptions to the systems at
various locations. The main breaker installation is recommended to
upgrade at five stations from the current blade cartridge fuse system.
The breaker will allow the system to be reset rather than having to
replace cartridge fuses. Funds in FY 2021/22 is for design and FY
2022/23 is for construction of the electrical upgrades.
Fiscal Impact: This project is funded by the General Fund. Project
Type: Administrative Facilities Year Identified: 2012 Est. Completion
Year: 2022/23 The door replacement is necessary because this equipment
has reached the end of its useful life. The electrical upgrades are
recommended as safety improvements to the fire stations. The new
service disconnects will allow easy reset in the event of a power
outage. Project Evaluation and Analysis: Category: Capital Project
