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.

Current Activities
Construction
Construction completed several important tasks in June. Interior wall framing, to include structural steel in Sectors A/B made significant progress, and exterior wall framing in Sector C began. A water pressure test was conducted and the water system produced more than adequate pressure for the fire suppression system and other demands.
This is a critical test to complete early because if the water pressure were inadequate, significant retrofitting of plumbing might be required. The concrete floors in Sector C except for the apparatus bay were also poured. The project utilized a concrete mix that contained fiber in lieu of rebar. The result was minimal cracking which is important since the finished floor is exposed concrete. Wall framing at Sector C began in June as well.
Activities Scheduled for Next Period
✓ First floor framing and structural steel at Sectors A and B will be complete.
✓ Sector A roof trusses will be set.
Highlights
✓ Exterior wall framing in Sectors A and B was completed.
