BACKGROUND:
On January 29, 2024, while pulling Engine 319 into the apparatus bay, the ladder rack struck the building causing structural damage to the load bearing masonry wall as well as to the overhead sectional door.
DISCUSSION:
PBO staff evaluated the damage and noted the wall shifted 3" due to the force of the impact. Due to the safety concerns resulting from the compromised structural integrity and the inability to secure the station, emergency repairs were pursued.
Futurity 19, Inc. visited the site and returned a proposal to demolish and rebuild the load bearing wall. The work consists of the installation of steel columns and beams to support the garage door opening as well as the roof joist and rafters. This will be done in advance to secure the structure and allow for the demolition and rebuild of the load bearing 4" masonry block wall. Also included is the installation of steel bearing plate for under the garage door ibeam and roof joists. All mortar, drywall repair, and painting are included. Also included is the set up and breakdown of the heavy-duty scaffolding. The overhead door and track will be installed by the city's contractor, Allied Door, Inc.
The City has completed multiple projects with Futurity 19, Inc. All have been completed to specification, on time, and within budget.
