Project Location and Description
The new Police and Fire Headquarters will be located at 1163 North Centre City Parkway. The facility will consist of an approximately 115,371 square-foot, three-story building with ample public and employee parking. It will provide operational and administrative space for the following functions: Police patrol, investigations, juvenile crime, domestic violence, community-oriented policing, communications and 911 emergency response services, crime lab, computer-aided dispatch center, emergency operations center, short-term custody of prisoners, and community meeting space. The Fire Department area will include administrative and training spaces, fire prevention services, paramedic services management, and community education areas. The building is expected to adequately support growth needs as projected in the current General Plan.
The new joint Police and Fire Headquarters is being built using a non-traditional approach called the Construction Manager with Multiple Prime Contractors. The City used this method very successfully for the construction of the California Center for the Arts. Under this method, the City, architect and construction manager will act as a collaborative team from planning through construction.
Project Budget
The total cost of the new facility is approximately $61 million, which includes design, construction, parking and furnishings.
