FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Station 17- EmeraM Glen Fire Station
Current Budget: $3,509,000
Current Estimates: $3,942,057
Difference: ($ 433,057)
Station 18 -Fallon Fire Station
Current Budget: $2,480,500
Current Estimates: $3,252,060
Difference: ($ 771,560)
The Current Estimates are based on the most recent local construction projects of similar type including the
Livermore Fire Station bid in December 2001. The budget numbers from the 2001-2002 CIP were based on
pre-bid cost estimates available from Alameda County Fire on their stations 10 and 11 and similar buildings
bid in the area. The actual bid costs for Alameda County Fire Stations 10 and 11 were available after the
City's 2001- 2002 budget was approved increasing costs by approximately 27%. The Alameda County
station designs were based on the same prototype that the City's stations 17 and 18 are designed to meet.
The cost difference between the two stations includes the necessity for more extensive site improvements at
the Fallon Fire Station (Station 18) due to its proximity to residential areas and the furore park. In addition
the Emerald Glen Fire Station (Station 17) is the larger of the two and some economy of scale was included
in the cost estimate. The difference in the original budget and the current cost estimates is being addressed
as part of the 2002-2003 Budget:
