Proposed Fire Stations Information

Locations:

  • SFD Headquarters: Main Street and Mayflower Drive, South Sanford.
  • District Station: Payne Street, Springvale.

Design Features:

  • Separate zones to mitigate chemical exposure.
  • Quiet sleeping quarters.
  • Gender-neutral facilities.
  • Energy efficiency.

Reasons for New Stations

  • Age: Both stations, aged over 50 and 100 years respectively, have far exceeded their intended lifespans. Built when equipment was smaller, some modern vehicles no longer fit in the current bays.
  • Size: The current fire stations are undersized and unable to accommodate modern fire trucks and equipment. Lack of space for training, storage, and proper organization of firefighting gear and supplies.
  • Safety: Our stations were constructed before modern safety standards, codes, and practices were established. The facilities are inadequate for firefighters to clean and maintain their gear, increasing health risks from exposure to contaminants.
  • Equitability: Inadequate facilities for female firefighters.
  • Compliance: Non-compliant with NFPA and OSHA standards.
  • Location: The current stations are not ideally located in our community. The new stations will be optimally positioned to help ensure faster emergency services. This strategic placement will also better accommodate our community’s growth.

Financial Implications

  • Cost: $42.5 million for construction.
  • Delay Costs: Each year of delay adds $2.6 million.
  • Funding Strategy:
    • Align construction with the retirement of current debt service.
    • Pursue federal grants (FEMA, Congressional Direct Spending, USDA) post-approval.

Recent Project Developments

2024: Planning and Design

  • January 16th: City Council authorized $168,000 for architectural planning and cost estimation.
  • March 19th: Detailed plans for new stations presented by Bob Mitchell of WBRC/Mitchell Associates, focusing on firefighter health, safety, and energy efficiency.
  • March 19th: City Council authorized a ballot referendum for the November 5th election that seeks Sanford/Springvale voter approval on the construction of two fire stations at the total price of $42.5 million.

2022- 2023: Property Acquisition

  • Properties:
    • 1280 Main Street- Springvale Nurseries (Headquarters/Central Station).
    • 10 Payne Street- Notre Dame Church (District/Sub Station).

  • Activities: Tours of Brunswick and Wells Fire Stations for insights.

2021: Fire Station Feasibility Working Group

  • Purpose: Analyze the necessity of new fire stations and identify optimal locations.

2020: Architect Review

  • Participants: WBRC Architects and Mitchell Associates.
  • Findings: Existing fire stations are outdated, non-compliant with current codes, and unsafe. Immediate replacement recommended.

Project Background Information

2019: Initial Bond Vote

  • Residents voted against a $1 Million bond to purchase land for a new fire station. Note: This vote was not for the construction of a new fire station.

2016: Port City Architecture Study of the City's Fire/EMS Department.

  • Recommendations:
    • Vacate all three existing facilities.
    • Construct two new stations along the Route 109 corridor at equidistant increments.
      • Main Station: ~29,000 sq ft with 5 drive-through bays, 1 decontamination bay, and living, training, and administrative spaces.
      • Substation: ~16,000 sq ft with 4 bays and living quarters.

Help us modernize our fire stations to better serve Sanford and Springvale. The new facilities will address critical issues with our current, outdated stations, improving safety for firefighters and residents. Let's invest in a safer future for everyone.

    While we are seeking approval for both new fire stations at the same time, construction will be staggered to minimize disruptions and manage costs effectively. Central Station will be completed first, followed by Springvale Station. This phased approach ensures that existing stations remain operational without interrupting emergency services.

    By approving both stations under a single, coordinated plan, we can avoid rising construction costs over time. Delaying the second station by a few years would likely result in significantly higher costs due to inflation. Coordinating the two projects also allows us to secure more competitive bids from contractors, reducing overall expenses.

    We understand concerns about property taxes and are actively pursuing federal grants and exploring changes to Tax Increment Financing (TIF) laws to help reduce the burden on taxpayers.

    Alex asked 20 days ago
    The new fire stations are designed based on a space needs study by WBRC and Mitchell Associates to meet the minimum requirements for staffing, equipment, storage, and safety. Our current stations, built 50 to 100 years ago, lack essential features like decontamination areas and sufficient storage for modern firefighting equipment.

    These new stations do not include unnecessary bells and whistles. They are designed to be durable, easy to maintain, and compliant with upcoming federal OSHA regulations, which the existing stations cannot meet. Renovating the current stations would not only cost nearly as much as building new ones, but it would also be impossible to bring them up to modern code and safety standards, failing to fully address our needs.


    To reduce the taxpayer burden, we are pursuing several federal grant opportunities, including those from FEMA, Congressional Direct Spending, and the USDA. We can only apply for these grants after the project is approved by voters, and securing this funding will be a priority moving forward. Additionally, the City Manager is exploring ways to change state laws regarding Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which could further assist in funding the stations and alleviate taxpayer costs. If you missed the community forum last week, you can watch the City Manager's financial presentation here.

    The city is also considering reductions in the roadway Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to lessen the impact on property taxes.

    Greg asked about 2 months ago
    In 2022, our Fire Station Feasibility Group toured the Brunswick station (pictured), which was designed by the same architects working on Sanford's new stations. Recently, we spoke with these architects to better understand the cost differences. Here are the key factors contributing to the cost difference:


    Sanford’s Station is Larger:
    Brunswick’s new station, approved in 2020, is one of three stations and measures 25,361 sq. ft., while Sanford’s planned headquarters is 37,770 sq. ft.—about 150% larger (12,400 square feet more). This size increase impacts the overall cost. Sanford’s station is also designed to accommodate 10 more staff members, a higher call volume, and different apparatus than Brunswick’s.


    Inflation and Market Increases:
    Since Brunswick’s station was approved four years ago, construction costs have risen dramatically due to inflation and market conditions. Costs have increased between 130% and 150% for materials and labor, which directly impacts the estimated costs for Sanford's project.


    Building Design Differences:
    Sanford’s new Fire & EMS Headquarters will have fewer apparatus bays (5 compared to 7 in Brunswick) but more staff living quarters, EMS equipment storage, and firematic equipment storage, which are more expensive to build. Sanford Fire and EMS Headquarters Station requires a greater percentage of space for these more costly areas, with less space dedicated to apparatus bays.


    "We hope this explanation provides clarity on the differences in cost between the Sanford and Brunswick fire stations. Our goal is to ensure that the new Sanford stations are thoughtfully designed and well-equipped to serve the community's needs for the next 100 years." - WBRC Inc.

    If the project is approved, the City plans to bond $42.5 million, with an estimated average annual cost to taxpayers of about $231.19. We are actively pursuing grants to help reduce this financial impact and are exploring options, such as adjustments to other capital projects, to ease the tax burden.

    We are seeking approval for both new fire stations at the same time to modernize our outdated infrastructure more efficiently. However, the construction schedule will be staggered to minimize disruptions. After the project is approved, we will conduct a formal competitive bidding process and encourage local contractors to participate. No contractors have been selected yet.

    Thank you for your questions and interest in the new fire stations project.

    If approved in November 2024, the headquarters station will cost approximately $27.1 million, and the Springvale station will cost $15.4 million. You can view the architects' presentation to the council for more detailed information (Statement of Probable Costs starts on slide 101)

    The increase in property taxes is influenced by various factors. However, the City has implemented strategies to minimize the tax impact. For a Sanford homeowner with a median home value of $300,000, the tax impact would be, at most, approximately $4 per week and will diminish over time as the community continues to grow. We are currently compiling the financial information, which will be made public soon.

    The current facilities have several code violations due to structural and design limitations that cannot be remediated without extensive and costly renovations. These violations include inadequate ventilation systems, insufficient space for equipment and personnel, and outdated fire safety systems. In 2020, Mitchell Associates and WBRC Architects conducted an "Existing Conditions and Functional Assessment" of the Springvale and Central Fire Stations. You can view the full report here: Existing Conditions and Functional Assessment.

    After securing a positive vote, we will proceed to the final engineering phase to develop a construction bid package and initiate a formal competitive bidding process. At this stage, no contractor or builder has been selected.

    If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to reach out.

    At this time, we do not have a plan for the future of our current stations because we haven’t yet received voter approval for the construction of two new stations. However, there are no plans for municipal reuse of the buildings. Additionally, the new stations are being designed with an extended lifespan of 75+ years and are built to be the "last building standing" in case of disaster.

    We conducted a cost-benefit analysis and found it was more cost-effective to purchase the Courtney Cleaners property. If we had sold the back portion of the property to SHA, we would have been required to construct a two-story building with retaining walls and install costly in ground storm treatment systems. Now, we'll have a single-story station with a stormwater retention pond that can serve as green space.

    ornithologist asked 7 months ago

    The increased price of $2.6 million, was determined by the City’s architect based on escalators on material costs and labor costs. Estimators gather data from ongoing construction projects to extrapolate the data needed. Additionally, constructing two new stations simultaneously allows for an efficient modernization of our outdated infrastructure and facilities. This approach minimizes service disruptions, optimizes resource allocation, and yields cost savings for the taxpayers.
