3 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Executive Summary performed a reassessment of the feasibility study completed in 2008 for the Brewster Fire and Rescue Department to investigate and assess the interior program design and requirements necessary to accommodate the current and future Department needs. The study was to include a recommendation of what would be the most efficient and cost beneficial option for the Town of Brewster with regards to either an expansion/renovation of the current facility, or construction of a new Fire Headquarters. Based on the current building physical conditions review, as well as the previous evaluation, the Fire Station is in good condition and is well maintained. However, several factors lead to the conclusion that this facility is lacking the functions and support of a modern day Fire Department. The main concerns are as follows: 1. Inappropriate and confusing interior circulation 2. Inability to support required programmatic needs 3. Insufficient sized apparatus bay 4. Lack of a decontamination area 5. Fire fighters support spaces spread over multiple buildings and floors 6. Aging and costly building mechanical systems The most critical space, the apparatus bays and its associated support spaces, cannot be properly renovated or expanded to accommodate the current needs due to site restrictions and the structural limitations of the pre-engineered building frame. The options available are as follows: Scheme 1 Scheme 2 Remove the 1980 s addition and construct a new, two-story addition in the rear of the existing facility. The major disadvantage is that this scheme will not allow for a drive-through apparatus bay due to site grade differentials. In this scheme, construction can be phased, however, the phasing plan will impact the schedule, increase the cost, and substantially disrupt daily operations of the Department for the entire construction period. Construct a new facility at the rear of the site. This scheme would solve all of the programmatic requirements and eliminate the majority of the project phasing. The existing Fire Station would remain operational during construction, and once the new facility is completed, operations could move into the new facility; this would cause minimal disturbances to the station operations during construction. 1 July 31, 2013 Project No

4 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster All construction, whether it is new construction or renovation, will have sustainable features incorporated into the design. Passive features such as skylights in the apparatus bay, as well as specialty features like geothermal energy will be evaluated depending on the passive features payback; it will then be determined whether they will be included in the project. Based on our estimate, the construction cost between the renovation/expansion and new construction are relatively similar in cost at approximately $10 million, however, factoring the project phasing in Scheme 1, it becomes obvious that the project cost for new construction is approximately $600,000 less expensive than having to renovate and expand the existing facility. Recommendation If both schemes are capable of meeting the programmatic needs of the Department, had little or no impact to the stations daily operations during construction, and could provide cost savings from using all or part of the existing structure, it will be possible to salvage and reuse some of the existing facility and to expand the building to the rear. However, the renovation and expansion scheme (scheme 1) does not resolve all of the programmatic requirements of the Department, nor does it address the internal organization and circulation needs. This option will require phased construction (or possible Department relocation during the construction) disrupting the stations daily operations and resulting in a project cost for the renovation and expansion of the facility that exceeds the cost of new construction. Based on the two options assessed in this study, recommends that the Town of Brewster should construct a new Fire Headquarters behind the existing facility in order to meet all of the current needs and to provide for future Department growth. Being a turn-key operation, the construction will have minimal impact on the daily station operations during construction. A new facility can be constructed to accommodate the programmatic needs of the Fire Department in a manner that the renovations to the existing facility cannot. Without phasing or fire service disruption, a new facility will be less costly to construct, and more efficient in deployment of emergency respondents while delivering a more energy efficient building, resulting in lower operational and maintenance cost. 2 July 31, 2013 Project No

5 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Introduction The Town of Brewster has commissioned to re-evaluate the feasibility study previously performed by in 2008 for the Brewster Fire and Rescue Headquarters. In the previous report, determined that the Brewster Fire Department had outgrown the existing Fire Headquarters and provided two options on how to best address this issue. The options were to renovate, expand the existing facility, or to construct a new facility; two variations on expansion and renovations have been provided. The purpose of this assessment is to identify if any factors changed within the last five years that would alter the previous recommendations. To achieve this goal, performed a multi-faceted approach to verify the prior assessment. The initial step was to confirm the status of the existing building, verify any changes to the facility from the prior evaluation and to identify if any capital improvements have been completed that may alter the initial assessment. Secondly, the original building program was reassessed to confirm that the program developed in 2008 was still applicable. A five year time frame is a small duration when programming for a facility that is designed to serve the community for a much longer period of time. However, changes in the Fire Departments leadership and that have occurred since 2008 will impact how the Department operates as well as the size and configuration of the facility. Lastly, changes in other external attributes, such as building codes that may impact the feasibility of either renovating the existing facility, or constructing a new facility on the existing site, have been reviewed for project compliance. Once all of these issues were identified, the next phase of the project was to look at the different ways to resolve the identified issues, and decipher this complex puzzle in a way that is economical for the Town of Brewster as well as operationally functional for the Brewster Fire Department. 3 July 31, 2013 Project No

6 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Findings Existing Conditions Overall, visually, the facility appears to be well maintained and is in good shape. However, as identified in the prior report, the Fire Stations internal operations have been sacrificed by the adaptation of a facility originally designed as a combined Police and Fire station to serve as a Fire Headquarters without the proper internal renovations. In 2001, when the Police Department moved to a new Headquarters, the Fire Department expanded into the recently vacated area, making do with what was available. Consequently, the interior building circulation is archaic and not conducive to supporting the combination of the Fire and Rescue Department that currently protects the community of Brewster. Based on our visual assessment, the station has not changed from the initial review and with the exception of the repairs to the Firehouse concrete apron, (competed due to a hazard assessment and liability report conducted by the Town s insurance carrier) there have been no capital improvement projects since The one programmatic change to the station has been the swapping of the training room and day room locations. The day room is now on the second floor adjacent to the firefighters bunk rooms, and the training room is on the first floor. The real benefit of this swap is that with the training room on the first floor, it is now handicap accessible. Since the day room is for use by able bodied staff, being on the second floor is not an issue. None of the building systems have been updated, and consequently, they are all five years older and based on the ASHRAE Life Expectancy tables, the electrical and mechanical systems are approaching the end of their useful life. As this typically occurs with public facilities, the majority of the maintenance has been reactive rather than preventative, and consequently, all of the building systems will require replacement or a major upgrade. Building Program The prior building program was reviewed and modified to accommodate current needs as well as future growth capabilities (revised program is located in appendix A of the report). Numerous spaces were deleted; some of the square footages have been adjusted as well as modifications made to adjacencies and room placement. Creative solutions to male/female toilet room parity were explored and utilized to minimize redundancies and consequently, reduce building square footage. When possible, indoor training elements were included within the building program to allow the department to perform firefighter training exercises on site. This includes a mezzanine within the apparatus bay to practice fixed ladder placement, victim extractions through windows, hose advancements up stairs, confined space training as well as repelling off of buildings and aerial ladder training. 4 July 31, 2013 Project No

7 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Once all of the numbers were crunched out the overall programmatic needs for the Brewster Fire Department (totaled 24,979 square feet), there was a reduction of 1,448 square feet from the 2008 program. Building Code From the time the original report was performed, a major code change has been implemented. Currently, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has adopted the 2010 National Building Code with local addendums as the States Building Code. The major impact to the Brewster Fire Station is the buildings use classification. Previously, Fire Stations were classified as a Business Use Group. However, with the new code, Fire Stations are no longer classified as One Use Group but instead a combination of the three; use Group B, Business for the administrative portions, use Group S-2 Low hazard storage for the apparatus bays and use Group R-2 Residential for the dormitories. Since the existing building was designed and constructed in accordance to building codes in affect at the time, this is a non-issue, and the building is grandfathered from this requirement. However, if the existing building is to undergo an extensive addition/renovation, then this code issue will be triggered and it will require fire rated separations between each of the different use groups. Code Triggers In addition to the building deficiencies previously identified in the building evaluation, CDR Maguire Inc. also assessed specific thresholds that trigger more involved and complex renovations to the existing facility. Some of these thresholds are a percentage of construction costs, as they relate to the building value, while others depend on the amount of the extent of the work performed over a percentage of the building. Existing International Building Code The Massachusetts Building Code and the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) require the implementation of the current structural requirements and fire suppression systems on a sliding scale with full implementation when fifty percent of the aggregate floor area is renovated. Structurally, this includes but is not limited to, evaluation of design gravity loads, lateral capacity, egress capacity, fire protection system, fire resistive construction, interior environmental, hazardous materials and energy conservation. Level 1 Alterations Include the removal and replacement or the covering of existing materials, elements, equipment or fixtures using new materials elements or fixtures. a. Structural assessment of roof loads, impacted by roof replacement and additional roof top equipment 5 July 31, 2013 Project No

8 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster b. Review of existing Means of Egress c. Only new materials and finishes need to comply with Energy Code. Level 2 Alterations include the reconfiguration of space, the addition or elimination of any door or window, the reconfiguration or extension of any system, or the installation of any additional equipment. a. Comply with the requirements of Level -1 b. All new work shall comply with building code c. Existing vertical openings shall be enclosed in rated enclosures d. Building fire separations need to comply with building code. e. Interior finishes within corridor and exits of the work area need to be fire retardant If work area exceeds 50% of building area. a. All interior finishes within corridors and exists need to be fire retardant b. Automatic sprinklers c. Door hardware assessment and upgrades d. Structural evaluation of gravity and lateral loads Level 3 Alterations Applies where the work area exceeds 50% of the aggregate area of the building. a. Facility needs to comply with Levels 1 and 2 b. Seismic evaluation and upgrades of existing structure Bringing the existing building to compliance with new codes, while achievable, requires extensive structural calculations to see what and where work needs to be done to the building to bring it to structural conformity. The apparatus bay, having a pre-engineered structural frame, could be more convoluted since each manufacturer has different framing systems and requirements. Not knowing the design prerequisites for the original building, framing could make reinforcing this portion of the building cost prohibitive. 6 July 31, 2013 Project No

9 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Handicap Accessibility According to the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (MAAB) and the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), reasonable accommodations must be made to provide access to and within the existing facility. Currently, the facility complies with some of these requirement, however as building improvements and renovations are implemented, there are several thresholds that trigger greater accessibility improvements. a. If the work performed is limited to less than $100,000, then only the work being performed needs to comply with the handicap requirements. b. If the work performed is $100,000 or more, then in addition to the work performed, it is mandatory to comply with the handicap requirements, as well as to provide an accessible public entrance, accessible toilet room, drinking fountains and telephone. General upkeep will not trigger this requirement unless it exceeds $500,000. c. When the work performed exceeds 30% of the full and fair cash value of the building, then the entire facility is required to be brought up to current standards. d. Phased construction is calculated on a thirty-six month time frame. Currently, the facility has numerous floor levels, with the exception of the first floor, none of the floor levels are handicap accessible. As previously mentioned, progress has been made to bring the training room to the first floor to make it accessible. However, all other accessibility issues including the 24 plus vertical height difference between the first floor and the apparatus bay will need to be addressed once work exceeds thirty percent of the cash value of the building. 7 July 31, 2013 Project No

10 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Optional Solutions Based on the previous report supplemented with the current evaluation and assessment of the existing facility, it is apparent that the Brewster Fire Department has outgrown the existing fire station. The lack of space is evident in all major components of the Department including administrative, operational, living and apparatus storage areas. Furthermore, as the Stations staffing increases, the lack of space will be more evident and will become more of a hindrance in the deployment of firefighters and equipment. Below is a recap of the current fire station deficiencies identified from the previous report: 1. Due to its previous configuration as a combined public safety facility, the current facility does not properly function as a Fire Station. There is redundant circulation between areas, many different levels that are not accessible from each other, and no isolation of public spaces from the rest of the fire station. Consequently, the utilization and location of spaces within the station is impacting the internal response time of the facility. This will greatly be impacted as the station increases the number of career firefighters. 2. Due to its remoteness and construction, the area previously dedicated to Police detention are greatly underutilized. 3. Overhead doors to the fire apparatus bays are too narrow and too low for present equipment. It impedes the Department in the procurement of future apparatus, and it also hinders the deployment of supplemental support from this facility. 4. The overall width and length of the apparatus bays are too narrow for present equipment to accommodate the majority of the vehicles some of which must be parked at an angle. This congested layout impacts and interferes with the internal response time of the station. 5. Hoses are currently stored on the apparatus or in the main station, no supplemental hose storage is provided within the station. 6. Currently, there is no separate area for gear storage. Gear is stored in open wooden bins within the apparatus bay. Since not all of the vehicles are attached to a vehicular exhaust system, diesel particulates are being exhausted and deposited on the firefighters gear. 7. The dive team equipment is stored in wooden lockers within the apparatus bay and the lockers are made of solid wood with no ventilation. The solid wood lockers create a perfect environment for mold growth. 8 July 31, 2013 Project No

11 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster 8. The facility has storage space for equipment and tools; however they are remotely located away from where they are being used. 9. The existing Fire Station has limited training areas. 10. No accommodation currently exists for staff during a storm stand-by. 11. The facility has no separate male and female locker and toilet rooms. 12. The size of the apparatus floor cannot accommodate all of the Department's vehicles. 13. The site has limited parking for firefighters, administrative support or public. 14. Oxygen rescue tanks and gear are stored and filled on the apparatus floor instead of a separate contained area. The compressor is located in the pantry in the midst of soda can storage. 15. The facility does not have a decontamination area. All contaminated equipment is hosed down within the apparatus bay. 16. There is no dedicated area for a washer and dryer. Currently, they are located within a corridor alcove in the basement. Additionally, the facility does not have a washer extractor to wash firefighter protective gear. 17. Current storage areas are tight, with storage overflow occupying corridors, areas under stairways, attic spaces and behind knee walls. 18. The existing kitchen is extremely small and outdated. 19. The living quarters are undersized and similarly to the kitchen, need to be updated. 20. The exercise facility is located in the unfinished basement, and the space is not conducive to proper fitness and training. Additionally, for safety reasons, the fitness room should be located in a visible area in the event of an accident. 21. The station in its current configuration cannot accommodate the anticipated growth within the community and within the programmatic requirements of the Fire Station. 22. The Fire Department relies on use of two buildings for operations. 9 July 31, 2013 Project No

12 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Site Issues The facility shares a 13.5-acre lot with other Town facilities including the Council on Aging, the Water Department and recreational facilities including, tennis and basketball courts as well as a baseball field; approximately 2 acres of the site is covered by wetlands. The Fire and Rescue Facility building and its associated site features occupies approximately 2 acres of the site. While this appears to be a large area to either expand or construct a new facility, the site s geography, topography and the existing stations placement limits the options available to us on the current site. The front of the facility cannot be expanded without impacting the turnaround space for the returning apparatus and the visitor parking spaces. Also, expanding the apparatus bay by making it three bays deep is not an effective solution to solving the apparatus bay shortcomings. Side expansion of the existing facility is not feasible on either side. On one side, the existing building is already within the 100-year flood buffer, and the other side only has sufficient space for the driveway to the rear of the facility. 10 July 31, 2013 Project No

13 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster This will limit any expansion possibilities to the rear of the facility which has a steep drop off as well as additional wetland buffers. Based on the information, two options were refined to meet the programmatic needs of the facility. Due to the site restriction identified above, these schemes closely resemble those of the previous report. Scheme 1: To renovate the existing facility and expand it. Scheme 2: To construct a new facility in the back of the existing Station. Each scheme has pros and cons as well as implications for construction cost, construction time, and disruptions to the daily station operation. 11 July 31, 2013 Project No

14 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Scheme 1- Renovate and Expand the Existing Station This scheme utilizes portions of the existing building that requires a phased construction. The first phase would consist of the demolition of the 1980 s vintage addition to accommodate a six bay double loaded apparatus bay with flanking support space, and firefighters living quarters on the second floor. Once this phase is complete, the firefighters operations would move into the new construction and the existing first and second floor of the facility would be renovated for administrative spaces. The existing apparatus bay would then be torn down so that there is more vehicular circulation for the apparatus entering and exiting the station. The existing first floor administrative portion of the facility would be renovated and modified to reflect the programmatic needs of the station. However, due to the circuitous circulation inherited from the original design as a combined Police and Fire facility, not all of the circulation and security issues can be addressed and because of this, additional circulation to the actual building would be greater than that required in the program. 12 July 31, 2013 Project No

15 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster As an option to this scheme, we looked at salvaging the existing apparatus bay and converting it a training room and fitness room. This would reduce the amount of new construction, but increase the amount of renovation space; this has minimal savings to the project. The existing apparatus bay exiting the facility creates a blind spot as well as a bottle neck for apparatus vehicles. Advantages 1. Portions of the existing station are salvaged. 2. Apparatus bay issues are resolved. Disadvantages 1. More expensive to construct than new construction. 2. Station does not have drive through capability. 3. Existing convoluted administration circulation is only slightly improved. 4. Phased construction requires additional time and money to complete as a option to the phase construction the facility could be constructed in one phase however the fire department would need alternate quarters to run out of for approximately one year. Since only a small portion of the existing facility is salvaged, it is debatable if the additional costs incurred for phasing or alternate temporary quarters are justifiable. 5. Extended construction due to phasing 6. Multiple floor elevations requires expensive multiple stop elevator. 7. Visitor parking is not improved. 8. Building Code requires that the entire facility be brought up to today s standards including structural and seismic upgrades as well as a fire suppression system. This will require extensive renovations even to those areas scheduled to remain as is. 9. Handicap Code requirements necessitate that the entire facility with the exception of areas solely used by able bodied firefighters be brought up to current handicap standards 10. Since the firefighters living quarters would be located above the apparatus bay the overall height of the facility not including the roof would exceed the building height restrictions 11. Construction occurs around and inside operational fire station. 12. Construction work is performed within an operational fire station 13. Internal response time is minimally improved 14. Apparatus deployment, since the apparatus bays are parallel to the main road, would not improve. 13 July 31, 2013 Project No

16 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Scheme 2- New Construction This scheme requires construction of a new facility at the rear of the site behind the existing Fire Station. This scheme would solve all of the programmatic requirements and also eliminate the majority of the project phasing. The existing Fire Station would remain operational during construction. Once the new facility is completed, operations could move into the new facility. This would cause minimal disturbances to the Fire Station operations during construction. In this scheme, the first floor would occupy the apparatus bay, support spaces and administrative offices as well as emergency operations (EOC) community training room. The second floor would house the firefighters living quarters. To minimize the building height and construction costs, the second floor would not extend over the apparatus bays. The facility would be designed so that it can be compartmentalized. Administrative operations which have business hours of operation can be isolated from the rest of the facility without impacting Fire Station operations. The training room is located off the main lobby and can be used 14 July 31, 2013 Project No

17 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster after hours without access to the rest of the facility. The firefighters, located on the second floor, have a direct access to the apparatus bay via poles and stairs. Additionally, the placement of vehicles and support space around the apparatus bay minimizes the internal response time, allowing a faster deployment of emergency vehicles. The facility takes advantage of the natural grades and consequently, has a partial walk-out basement which accommodates archive storage. Advantages 1. Fulfills all of the programmatic needs 2. Construction is not phased- Turn-key operation 3. Fire Department does not need to relocate during construction 4. Drive through bays are achieved 5. Operational efficient 6. Will serve the community for years to come 7. Shorter construction time frame 8. New facility will meet current energy code and be energy efficient 9. Fulfills today s needs and future department growth 10. Designed to accommodate on-site training capability Disadvantages 1. Existing station needs to be demolished 2. Construction occurs around existing operational facility 15 July 31, 2013 Project No

18 Brewster Fire and Rescue Department Town of Brewster Construction Cost Estimate To properly evaluate the construction cost between renovation/expansion of the existing facility versus the cost of new construction, we have created a matrix that compares individual line items costs for each of the two schemes. The Construction Costs or hard costs refer to the money required to prepare the site and construct the actual building with associated construction contingencies. The Project Costs include the soft costs which are all of the money required for the design, and associated support. This includes engineering fees and design fees, furniture and equipment, owner s project management fees, testing, and associated costs, legal fees, surveying, etc. The figures utilized in the costs per square foot were derived from historical data gathered from our past and current designed projects, Means Construction Cost Guides as well as for projects that we have served as Owner s Project Management. (See CDR Maguire s construction trends analysis in Appendix C) Based on the construction cost estimate it is more economical for the Town of Brewster to construct a new facility versus renovating and expanding the existing facility. There are several reasons for this, however the primary issues are the amount of work required updating the existing facility to code compliance and secondly the limited site that requires a phased construction. 16 July 31, 2013 Project No
