The source of funds for the added services is EMS Fund 153. The original amount of the PSA was $325,000. Amendment No. 1 to the PSA increases total compensation by $200,000 to advance design development of the Everett Fire Training Center project. The revised total compensation of the agreement is not to exceed $525,000. The City has applied for grant funding through the Washington State Department of Commerce (DOC) to support design, and the Defense Community Infrastructure Program (DCIP) to fund construction. The DCIP grant application will be submitted in June 2025. Project summary statement: This PSA Amendment follows Council authorization of the funding ordinance at the February 5, 2025 meeting. 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 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 PSA amendment 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): Authorize amendment No. 1 to the Professional Services Agreement with Rice Fergus Miller, Inc., to provide additional architecture and engineering services for the Everett Fire Training Center Project.
