PROJECT
The City of Saint Paul proposes to acquire a 1.4-acre pazcel of land az 1026 Seventh Street West and
construct a new facility to house Fire Stations 1 and 10 and related public parldng for the Department of
Fire & Safety Services.
INITIATING ACTION
This project is initiated by the Departrnent of Fire & Safety Services with the assistance of City Real Fstate
and the Design Grroup. Real Estate will acquire the property for the City and the Design Group will assist
in all phases of project planning, desi�, construction and management.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The current fire stations at 296 Seventh Street West (#1) and 754 Randolph Avenue (#10) are outdated,
cramped and in poor condition. A lazger, more functional facility to house the present fue companies in
each of these stations is gready needed. The proposed location also allows for quick access to a lazge
geographic azea.
PROPO5EDIMPROVEMENTS
A new fire station of approximately 20,000 squaze feet, consisting of the following spaces:
A new Fire Stafion, combining cunent stations 1& 10. Total 20,000 sq ft for an appazatus bay and
living quarters.
• Related public pazldng spaces.
ALTERNATIVES
Real Estate staff has worked closely with the Fire Department, Mayor's Office and City Council to identify
and evaluate site options in the area The 1026 W. 7`" site was selected because of size, central locafion and
access to major streets and freeways.

POSITIVE BENEFITS
The new station will enhance the Fire Department's ability to provide efficient fire and safety response
seroices to residents and property owners located in the city's current fire dishicts 1 and 10. Its location is
ideal for qaick access to major arterial streets in all directions and entrance to the city's freeway system.
Velucle access in and out of the site for fire vehicles will be considerably improved over the current
location, allowing for easier velucle movement and less disruption to normal street traffic
ADVERSE EFFECTS
Fire Chief Doug Holton has indicated there will be no adverse effects on fire services or response times if
Fire Stations 1 and 10 aze relocated and combined at the proposed site az 1026 W. 7`� St. The site is located
at the intersection of two major thomughfares, and is approximately mid-way between the current starions
and within blocks of each. This project, however, will require significant ciry funding, as detailed below.
TIME SCHEDULE
Property acquisiaon will begin in 7uly, 2006, and should be completed by year end or eazly 2007. Project
planning and preliminary design will begin in the summer of 2006. Detailed design and project bidding
will occur in 2007. Conshvction will begin in eazly 2008, with final completed expected by the end of that
year.
COSTS AND FUNDING
The City's cost to acquire the site is approxunately $2,100,000, to be financed with an intemal city loan.
Repayment of the loan is expected from the land sale proceeds of the Public Safety Building. Additional
funding for design, construction, equipment and furnishings for the £ire station and administrative offices
will come from City/HRA Lease Revenue Bonds beginning in 20Q8. The total project cost is estimated
at $10 million.
