RURAL FIRE STATION DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. EarthFax assisted Escalante City in obtaining funding and then teamed with an architect to design a new fire station for the City. The old two-bay fire station was housed in a former high-school shop building that was undersized and otherwise inadequate to meet current standards and City requirements. EarthFax assisted the City by estimating project costs, supporting the City in obtaining funding from multiple agencies, surveying the area to determine site and utility conditions, and meeting with building vendors to select the structure that would best meet the needs of the City. We then designed a 6,080 ft2 four-bay building, complete with office, conference room, restrooms, mechanical room, and mezzanine storage area. We submitted the plans to the funding agencies for approval, made minor modifications as required, and then bid the project. EarthFax is currently providing construction inspection services on the project.
