From the meeting
At its October 26, 2026 meeting, the council was asked to award architectural design and construction administration for a new Fire Station to BWS Architects, Inc. The proposal covered a new single-story station, site selection, design through 100%, and construction administration. The city staff report put the design fee at $804,811 and noted a 10% contingency authority for the City Manager.
The concept grew out of a 2025 assessment that found the existing station needed replacement rather than remodel. Decision state: approved award request.
