Contract awarded for construction of fire station

The Menifee City Council last week approved a contract agreement with Act 1 Construction for construction of a new fire station in Quail Valley.

The new Fire Station 5, to be located on Goetz Road near Vista Way, will replace the existing fire station located at Goetz Road and Avenida Robles. The existing station was built in the 1950s and has an outdated septic system that requires frequent maintenance and pumping. The outdated structure cannot support additional staff required to meet the area’s needs, according to city documents.

The new facility will be located on two acres, providing room for construction of a larger facility that can house up to eight fire personnel. It will include a three-door apparatus bay that can accommodate additional emergency vehicles. In addition, the facility will include the latest technology and equipment.

Act 1 Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid at $8.63 million. Construction is scheduled to begin in December.
