Elk River Fire Department <br />Elk River, MN <br />Fire Station Feasibility and Facilities Study <br /> <br /> <br />Five Bugles Design <br />A Division of Wendel Companies <br />SECTION 3 – LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER <br />The Elk River Police Department has been operating out of the Public Safety Building since its <br />construction in 2003. At that time, approximately 4000 SF was constructed as shell space for <br />future build out. While the facility is in fairly good shape, there are some operational and some <br />space needs challenges that have been identified: <br />1. While it is not the scope of this project to identify normal maintenance issues, it should <br />be noted that many systems in the building are approximately 15 years old with a 20-25 <br />year expected life. Maintenance funds should be increased over the coming years to <br />account for failing mechanicals. Any major construction efforts should include <br />replacement of heat pumps and major mechanicals in those locations. <br />2. There was only enough garage space built for 11 squad cars. Current requirement is for <br />26 vehicles. <br />3. There have been a number of changes to personnel and staffing structures. <br />The following plans show suggested plan changes to the facility to resolve these issues. The <br />work is divided into 4 categories: <br /> No Work: No construction work required. <br /> Minor Work: Mostly fit and finish type work as required to accomplish work shown and <br />to provide new finishes. <br /> Major Work: Movement or construction of walls and subsequent changes to mechanical <br />and electrical systems. <br /> Additions: Construction of additional space. <br /> <br /> <br />Proposed Additions and Renovations <br />at Police Department <br />10
