Representative Town Meeting Regular Meeting (linked)

April 2, 2025 RECEIVED FOR RECORD
WATERFORD, CT
Mr. Paul Goldstein 2025 APR-2 A 10: Ou
Moderator, Representative Town Meeting
15 Rope Ferry Road
Waterford, CT 06385
Moderator Goldstein,
At the February RTM meeting, representative Condon inquired as to the additional construction cost of
the third fire apparatus bay of the newly designed Oswegatchie Fire Station. This question was
forwarded to our project manager, Downes Construction, who based upon the drawings provided by
SPA, estimated the cost. The following is what he concluded:
“Cost of the third bay as included in the current design. Knowing the end exterior wall is
still needed for a two-bay garage etc. and things like plumbing for toilets rooms has no
bearing on the third bay, what is the cost of the floor, foundation sections at the bay,
roof structure, roofing and lighting/heating elements that make up the third bay?
Deduct $409,791
If the third bay was not included in the project now, what would it cost to add a third
bay addition in ten years from now?
Predicting a cost per square foot for a project 10 years out is difficult to forecast so we
prepared a high-level budget for an addition for which we assumed a 48% escalation and
6-month duration which added approximately $200k in staffing alone. This includes
demo of the existing end wall and underpinning to the existing foundation. We assumed
salvaging and reusing the existing glass and storefront on the end wall. We also
assumed that all the paving would be installed in the base project.
The range would be approximately $1,500,000 on the low end to $2,000,000 on the
higher end.
In short, the cost to keep the bay in the project now consumes approximately $410k of the
overall project budget. To add later it would be approximately $1.8 mil.”
Respectfully Submitted,
