The Bullhead City Fire Department board has opted to move forward with construction of a storage facility at Fire Station No. 2.
A design-build agreement with Arizona Steel Fabrication and Construction Corp., of Fort Mohave, would cost the department an estimated $398,000. A required construction bond would add $12,000 to the cost.
The project is slated for completion by the end of the year. However, COVID-19 could cause some products needed for the construction to not be available, warned Assistant Chief Scott Neal, who is overseeing the construction project.
The 5,564-square-feet storage building would be 20 feet tall so high-profile vehicles can fit inside.
He has met with three other companies but their bids were significantly higher and ranged from about $400,000 to $700,000.
