Fire Department Sub-Station Study
The City is seeking proposals from qualified vendors for a Fire Department Sub-Station Study to include the following:
1. Comprehensive evaluation of the location, condition and operation of the existing Fire Department Sub-Stations.
2. Determine the proper location for Sub-Stations within the corporate boundaries of Fairmont.
3. Identify any potential areas to expand the City’s fire service territory.
4. Research, review and evaluate future population and development patterns, development plans and existing calls for service to identify potential areas where existing sub-stations could be moved or added to achieve better coverage and response times.
5. Review the Department’s workload, response times, call volume and types of incidents to determine the distribution and deployment of personnel and equipment to the sub-stations.
6. Use computer based modeling and GIS to optimize resources.
7. Provide recommendations with respect to the Fireman’s Pension and Relief Fund.
8. Review allocation of funds to the Department and receipt of fees for service.
9. Develop funding options to accomplish the recommendations of this study.
