This proposed Ordinance will provide an additional $200,000 for the design of the Fire Training Center Project. The source of the funds for continued design is from EMS Fund 153. The additional funds will cover design cost to provide permit documents. Funds will be appropriated to Fund 342 Program 036. The City applied for a grant opportunity through the Washington State Department of Commerce (DOC) and Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) to fund design and construction. The DCIP grant requires permit/construction ready plans/specifications which this ordinance will fund. Application submission for the grant will occur in June 2025. Project summary statement: The City of Everett intends to build a firefighting training facility which would support the training of firefighters who would respond to Naval Station Everett in the event of a structural or shipboard fire. The proposed location is 1.8 acres of property already owned by the City and is adjacent to Naval Station Everett. The scope of service includes schematic, architectural, and engineering designs, permitting, construction documents, and construction management for an approximately 78,400 SF site. The proposed firefighting training center will consist of a multi-story burn structure prop with features of both structural and shipboard firefighting challenges, including a propane-fueled live- fire simulator, classroom facility, locker rooms for men and women, and vehicle storage facility with restrooms. The funding ordinance is for continued design and permit document services. Staff will return to council at a future date to amend the ordinance to fund the remainder of the design when awarded the grants from Washington State DOC and DCIP. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt an Ordinance amending Ordinance 3908-22 entitled “Fire Training Center Project”, fund 342, program 036, to accumulate design costs for the project.
