Item No. 12 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: EMS STATION ARCHITECT <br />DATE: October 3, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: The city council recently approved funding to hire an architect to provide <br />necessary design and other related services for construction of a new EMS station in northwest <br />Paris. This station, located on 19th NW, will replace the station now located inside PRMC. The <br />structure will be very simple, essentially a metal building with two ambulance bays, a dayroom <br />and kitchen, and two bedrooms. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: We received three architectural proposals, two from out -of -town firms and <br />one from Paris. Ron Hobbs Architects from Garland, which specializes in municipal building <br />projects, has been in business for very many years and has successfully completed a huge <br />number of public safety projects, including fire and EMS stations. Based on those successful <br />projects, and my having worked well with him in the past, I believe he will serve our current <br />needs the best. <br />BUDGET: Up to $30,000 has been included in the 2016 -17 operating budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize city manager to execute an agreement with Ron Hobbs <br />Architects for design and related tasks for construction of a new EMS station. <br />
