The spatial needs assessment identified that approximately 6800 sq. ft. would need to be added to Station 2 in order to meet the current and future needs of the Fire Service. The remaining space to be renovated is approximately 5800 sq. ft. New construction is typically more cost effective than re-engineering and renovating existing structures.
Estimated costs are broken down below:
| Description |
Size (Sq.ft.) |
Estimated Cost |
| Apparatus Bay & Operational Area Addition |
6800 |
$2,720,000.00 |
|
Administration, Training/EOC, Kitchen, AODA compliant washrooms
and Facilities Re-engineer and Renovation
|
5800 |
$2,465,000.00 |
| Total Estimated cost to build an Addition & Renovate Station 2 |
$5,185,000.00 |
Two options had been developed, both creating negative impacts and costs constraints as both options would see the existing truck bays, meeting room, community hall, washrooms and kitchen be completely stripped down to the foundation and rebuilt to post disaster standards and then renovated for the various spaces and needs.
This would result in a disruption in service of both the station and community hall during this time, the library would not be provided future addition space if needed, Township Office, Community Hall and Libraby would not have the space required to become Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) compliant.
Both Options would also require a decision to be made regarding Station 1 (Winger).
Closing Station 1 would result in a service gap between Stations 2 & 4 (Schwoob).
Renovating or Rebuilding Station 1 would result in additional costs now exceeding the proposed Central Station project.
Option 1
Three double deep bays with operational space such as bunker gear, maintenance and SCBA filling rooms placed to the side. This layout would require approx. 80 feet wide and 90 feet deep, and due to roadside setbacks would result in losing all the roadside parking both in front and staff parking behind the building. The addition would also encroach into the public works parking area and would not provide sufficient turning radius for the large vehicles such as plows, graders and fire trucks.
Option 2
Six single deep apparatus bays with with operational space such as bunker gear, maintenance and SCBA filling rooms placed at the back of the bays. This layout would require about 100’ wide and 70’ deep with the apparatus doors opening towards the Public Works building, resulting in a loss of Public Works staff parking. This layout would also encroach into the Cenotaph area.
