Capital Improvement Plan <br />s: 1 Department: Emergency Medical Services <br />R <br />Function: Public Safety ;; U <br />Project Title: EMS relocation of unit to Harrisburg Fire ` B ■ ■■ ■om ■om <br />Station 3 (new) _ 111. ••'��' !! N EW o■ �� ■ on <br />"0', <br />Total Cost: $ 375,000 <br />Project Description <br />Cabarrus County EMS will share a portion of a newly- constructed Harrisburg Fire Station with the City of Harrisburg. The 50 -year <br />lease will allow EMS to sustain a rapid and effective response to the Harrisburg area. Currently, the EMS unit proposed to be <br />moved is located in the Harrisburg Fire Station 2. The City of Harrisburg has acquired the property and selected the architect for a <br />design - build. Project completion is expected in December 2014 (FY 15). This project will result in continued co- location of <br />Harrisburg Fire and Cabarrus EMS resources resulting in a cost reduction while maintaining response capabilities. <br />Background & Justification /Status <br />This area has been served by Cabarrus EMS 10 for several years resulting in a significant impact in response times and unit hour <br />utilization. Initially, the unit was deployed in the area from a rented job trailer before the transition to the current arrangement of a <br />small station space within the Harrisburg Fire Station 2 with a monthly rental fee. It is no longer feasible to deploy crews in the <br />current arrangement. Harrisburg has a need for the space currently occupied at station 2 and has offered committed space with the <br />Harrisburg Fire Station 3 construction. This project reflects a move of personnel and equipment rather than an addition. <br />This project aligns with BOC goals 2 and 5 as it provides for public safety and the ability to respond to routine and catastrophic <br />events in addition to affording equal access to health care for the citizens in the affected community as noted by a reduction in area <br />response times. This project does not require the addition of personnel or major equipment. <br />Impact If Not Funded and Maximum Time it Can be Delayed - <br />If the project is not funded in the requested timeframe, response times to the Harrisburg area may be impacted due to the <br />redistribution of EMS resources. The project should not be delayed since the City of Harrisburg will break ground in FY14 and <br />expects completion in FY 15. If the project is delayed, a new stand alone EMS station for this area may be required in the future <br />resulting in a substantial financial impact for the County. <br />New Requests Approved Projects <br />Type: [ ] New [ ] Expansion [ X ] Replacement Status: [ ] In Progress [ ] Complete <br />FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Future <br />Project Costs Adopted Request Planning Planning Planning Planning Years <br />Planning /Design <br />Land /Acquisition <br />Construction <br />Building Improvements <br />Equipment <br />Other - Lease 375,000 <br />Total $ 375,000 $ - $ $ $ $ <br />Funding Sources <br />General Fund <br />Capital Reserve Fund <br />Constr. & Renov.
