General contractor: Rich Kramer Construction Inc.
Size: 8,750 square feet
Cost: $2.4 million
Estimated completion: Fall
Project description: Funded by a 25-cent tax levy approved by voters in 2023, this new maintenance facility will be more than five times the size of the Battlefield Fire Protection District’s existing 1,600-square-foot maintenance shop. The project is envisioned to significantly improve operational efficiency by enabling on-site servicing of all equipment, project officials say. The preengineered metal building is designed with clear-span frames and eight drive-in doors. A 2,300-square-foot structural steel mezzanine will house offices, a break room and storage. The architect is Buxton Kubik Dodd Design Collective, which also served as mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineer. Other engineers are Own Inc., civil; and Coleman Engineering, structural.
