Phoenix Government and
Public Safety
Center Project
The Phoenix Government and Public Safety Center Project consists of the construction of a new combined city facility, replacing the Phoenix Fire Station (JCFD 5 Station 3) that was destroyed by the Almeda Fire in September 2020, and the existing City Hall and Police Station buildings.
Oregon House Bills 5006 and 5202 fund in the amount of $16,338,000 were allocated to construct the building with a $240,000 match comprised of insurance and FEMA proceeds.
The new building will utilize the existing footprint of the City of Phoenix City Hall, Fire Station, and Police Station, while increasing the total square footage to 21,600 through the utilization of a second story. The construction of a 2-story building reduces the footprint of the public safety program while eliminating unnecessary land acquisition costs in contrast to multiple single-story buildings.
This project will allow the City of Phoenix and JCFD 5 to efficiently collocate and stretch resources, significantly enhancing and expanding public safety and community improvement programs.
As the floor plans depict, the multi-use layout will not only provide a local presence for multiple agencies and functions, it also increases the level of disaster preparedness by serving as an emergency operations center and community learning center for inservice training, CPR, CERT, and public meetings.

Current Activities
Project Design
The design team continued to collaborate with City Hall, Police, and Fire user groups to make refinements to the interior design concepts. Meetings were held to make final selections of colors and finishes.
City Hall, Police, and Fire Furniture, Fixtures, Equipment (FFE) user groups meetings were conducted. User groups identified the type of furniture and equipment required to meet operational needs. FFE is the process of identifying and procuring necessary furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the building.
Estimating
The site development package bids were received and subcontractors were selected by Adroit. A GMP amendment was evaluated and adopted. A notice to proceed with the demolition and site preparation work was also prepared. The GMP amendment amount is $682,318.0 and is within the previously estimated amount.
The project team met to evaluate the schedule and budget risk of long-lead time procurement items. Supply chain issues have developed into a condition of uncertain and longer lead times for materials and finished products that traditionally were readily available. The items, such as rebar, structural steel, generators and switch gear may not be available when the schedule dictates. As a result, they can result in a schedule delay or additional costs to procure. The project team will provide a plan to mitigate this risk during the next Council update.
Activities Scheduled for Next Period
• A ground breaking event will be conducted
• Formal notice to proceed with demolition and site preparation will be issued
• A process for mitigating the impacts of long-lead time procurement items will be adopted
• Mobilization and work site preparation will begin
Highlights
Site development sub-contractor bids were evaluated, a GMP amendment with Adroit was adopted, and a notice to proceed with the demolition and site preparation work was prepared.
The budget shortfall remains a challenge, however, staff is working on grants and revenue streams to overcome this challenge.
