Scope Of Work
The new fire station was 15 years in the making, with plans revised and votes revisited. Voters at the October 2012 special town meeting authorized $11.2 million for the project. In August 2013, the town awarded an $8.2 million construction contract to G&R Construction, and ground was broken for the project in September 2013.
The new station has eight double-deep bays for trucks, as well as proper storage space for equipment such as air tanks. Mr. Malloy, Town Manager, estimates the work is 9 percent under budget.
"The new fire station is a great project that will meet the needs of the town of Westboro for decades to come," Town Manger James Malloy said in announcing the opening of the station. "The , owner's project manager and Municipal Building Committee worked with the Fire Department to design a very functional and efficient building."
"We are under budget, but we aren't done yet," said Selectman George Barrette, the board's chairman, who is also a member of the Municipal Building Committee. "We will bring it in under budget. The Municipal Building Committee made a commitment to the community to bring it in under budget, and that will happen."
