<br />Project Description /Justification
<br />Funding for this project will enable the construction of new EMS stations in geographical areas across the County that will help reduce response times, which averaged
<br />9:45 at the end of 2013. The estimated cost includes both the facility and infrastructure, and assumes co- construction with the Town of Chapel Hill and the Town of
<br />Hillsborough. The architectural design will allow for one drive through bay (with expansion for an additional drive through bay), secure storage for narcotics,
<br />decontamination area, equipment room with washer /dryer, sleeping quarters, training /conference room, office area, restrooms and shower, and public area separate from
<br />the secure area of the crew quarters. It is estimated that the entire facility will be approx. 5,000 square feet'. The facility design will meet Americans with Disability Act
<br />requirements.
<br />For FY 15/16, two facilities will be constructed; the 1 st facility will be co -built with the Chapel Hill Fire Department in the Glen Lennox area and the 2nd facility will be co-
<br />built with the Hillsborough Fire Department in the Waterstone Drive area. For FY 16/17, two facilities will be constructed; the 1 st facility will be co -built with the Chapel Hill
<br />Fire Department (Weaver Dairy/MLK area or Franklin St. /Elliott Rd. area) and the 2nd facility will be co -built with the Hillsborough Fire Department in Hillsborough
<br />(location will be north side but exact location has yet to be identified). Final agreements with the Towns of Chapel Hill and Hillsborough must be completed for this
<br />proposal to be successful. For FY 18/19, a stand -alone EMS station will be built in the Buckhorn /Efland area. We will offer space to the local Fire Department and Law
<br />Enforcement as part of the design process.
<br />The amount of funding per station ($600k versus the $875k last year) is less due to sharing of kitchen, training, and other common areas as well as heating, air, water,
<br />sewer and other associated costs being shared. The amount of funding requested ($1.2M versus $875k in last year's CIP) , and moving funding up from year 4 to year 3
<br />is due to co- building two (2) facilities versus one (1) facility, and is based on the projected build schedules of Chapel Hill and Hillsborough (being ready to co -build based
<br />on their schedules). Costs would be dependent on the location, and could change. Cell towers or other County/Town operations in some instances can be co- located
<br />with these stations, which could reduce building and future operational costs.
<br />Architectural firm is currently working on two designs, one layout for an overnight station and one for split shift where no sleeping quarters are required. The proposed
<br />square footage will be available towards the end of March, 2014.
