Design-Build for Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department Station Nos. 64, 65, and 76 Overview
Jacksonville, FL
As part of a design-build delivery contract with the City of Jacksonville, Florida, GAI has partnered with Stellar to serve as the site/civil Engineer-of-Record (EOR) for the construction of three new Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department (JFRD) stations. Each station site has been carefully designed to include features that will enhance safety for both firefighters and the public. Site features such as dedicated driveways and exit lanes for fire trucks and emergency vehicles facilitate safe, quick, unobstructed roadway access to and from the stations. Other elements include adequate lighting and safe parking zones for non-emergency vehicles.
For the three JRFD stations mentioned below, GAI managed horizontal infrastructure design and permitting, and has provided site grading, drainage, utility, landscape architecture, off-site, and maintenance of traffic (MOT) design services. GAI has been working directly with the Project Architect and City staff to meet site-specific security needs.
