The site has been selected, a concept design has been created, and a project timeline has been established. Here are the details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Name \u2013 Sandy Plains Public Safety Station<\/li>\n<li>Agencies Using \u2013 Northern Wake Fire, Wake County EMS, plus working space for Wake County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/li>\n<li>Location \u2013 Boyce Bridge Road and Highway 50<\/li>\n<li>Conceptual Specs \u2013 One-story. Three bays, double deep.<\/li>\n<li>Limitations \u2013 Falls Lake watershed, so limited amount of impervious surface, e.g. apron, parking lot, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Background<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For decades, the property owners in that area of Wake County have been underserved due to long travel times from the nearest fire station(s). They have also received the lowest fire protection rating due to the distance from a fire station, and thus have incurred higher fire insurance rates than the rest of the county.<\/p>\n<p>The new Northwest District will comprise 10.65 square-miles and protect $87M of real property (buildings). The new station will greatly improve the ability of delivering an effective firefighting force within the standards established by the county and based on NFPA-recognized standards.<\/p>\n<p>It also encompasses Falls Lake and those recreation areas. They see over 500,000 visitors annually, including the boat ramps. Since 2019, Northern Wake Fire has responded to over 55 incidents involving drownings, water rescues, and boat-related emergencies. The new station will improve response times for these incident types as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Timeframe<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Design development \u2013 May 31, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Construction drawings \u2013 June 15, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Bidding &amp; contracting \u2013 July 31, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Construction notice to proceed \u2013 September 15, 2025<\/li>\n<li>Construction substantial completion \u2013 October 15, 2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Map and Drawing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8519\" src=\"https:\/\/legeros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-11-19-nwfd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/legeros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-11-19-nwfd.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/legeros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-11-19-nwfd-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/legeros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-11-19-nwfd-1536x561.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/legeros.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024-11-19-nwfd-730x266.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><br \/>\nNew fire district shown in purple.
