Re: North Side Firehall

Preliminary sketches and estimates have been received for the above approved
project. At the direction of Council and of Mayor Campbell] an investigation
was carried out of the implications of providing for a second floor which
could be used for a variety of public purposes. It was assumed that a second
floor plan would include a 2,300 square foot hall (seating 200), a kitchen,
storage room, washrooms, and. lobby. It is estimated that the cost of a fully
completed 2 storey building would be $265,000.0C. and it is estimated that

a 2 storey building with the second floor roughed in (no stairs) would cost
$185,000.00.

The estimated cost of a one storey 4,100 square foot building (masonry
construction) is $155,000.00. A_prefabricated_metal_building (similar to
the works yard building) would cost less than $155,000.00 while a prefab~
ricated precast concrete building would cost more than $155,000.00. The
Committee recommends that plans be prepared and tenders called for a one
storey prefabricated metal building and that provision be made for archi-~
tectural treatment of the front of the building (cedar siding or decorative

brick).
