Fire Station Headquarters

New, state-of-the-art Fire Headquarters

Colliers Project Leaders is providing owner’s project management for construction of a new Fire Station Headquarters in the Town of North Brookfield.

The facility will be a single-story, energy-efficient building with usable space of 14,782 square feet. Housing both Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) operations, the building will be comprised of five double deep apparatus bays, Decon area, turnout gear, and vehicle exhaust systems. Firefighter and administration areas will include four double bunk rooms, a kitchen, dining room, and day room. The facility will also be designed to accommodate a large public meeting room that can be used for public meetings and regional training of Fire and EMS personnel.

The proposed site is located in the center of Town and is currently a documented contaminated site “capped” in compliance with Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) regulations. Design efforts will minimize site and foundation work to reduce the budget impacts while providing the highest level of occupant safety in the completed facility.

In the role of owner’s project manager, Colliers is providing comprehensive project management services including:

• Developing the total project budget and schedule
• Managing the early phase site investigation and permitting issued with DEP
• Facilitating the contract between the Owner and the Architect
• Developing potential permitting and site logistic issues with proposed mitigation opportunities
• Overseeing all bidding and procurement issues on behalf of the Town
• Providing Construction Representation during all construction activities

The project is expected to be completed in 2021.
