This construction project will use a “Design and Build” approach – wherein the architect and construction firm work together as a team from the beginning. This provides unified project recommendations and a single point of responsibility for completing the project that typically results in 6% lower↓ costs and 12% faster construction.
Five Bugles Design – a national architecture, engineering, energy efficiency and construction management firm specializing in public safety construction projects – was selected by the Township to design the new station.
Christman Construction – a leading construction firm with more than five hundred full-time professionals that has vast experience in private and public building projects – was selected by the Township to build the new station.
Working closely with Township staff, this team expects to have substantial completion of the new Fire/Rescue station by October 17, 2024.
The municipal bonds that will finance this project are expected to be sold in mid-July. Because the Township has a “AA” bond rating, it is expected that the Township will receive a favorable interest rate on the bonds.
Again, thank you to the residents of the Township for approving the new Fire/Rescue station.
