Stillwater Fire Station - Step 2 Proposal

Page 1

408 NE 145th Place Edmond, OK 73013 p: 405-748-5043


The Crossland Oklahoma City team is incredibly excited about the opportunity to propose on the new construction and relocation of Fire Station No. 2 – which we believe will be a fantastic addition to the community. In this proposal, you’ll find our team has the experience and expertise needed to make this project a success. You’ll enjoy the building process The community relies on your staff, so we want to make this building process as easy as possible. We’ll anticipate and mitigate challenges and arm them with the information they need to make informed decisions throughout the entire process. We have extensive experience building fire stations, making us an excellent fit for this state-of-the-art facility. Crossland has built more than fourty-five (45) fire stations for cities just like Stillwater. As you’ll see in the proposal, we’ve built multiple fire stations for numerous municipalities. We feel this is a true testament to our ability to deliver a high-quality public safety building and a positive experience for everyone involved. You will find that we are bringing to the table expertise in constructing your new facility and facility operations and growth management. In a fast-growing city like Stillwater, we will want to help you anticipate future needs and find ways to program that into your new and existing facilities. Everyone will get settled into their new space as soon as possible We plan to efficiently phase the preconstruction of the new facility. We’ll take site logistics and crew loading of critical path subcontractors into account. Crossland has a proven track record of completing projects on time and in-budget. Your budget is in good hands We understand the importance of cost certainty throughout preconstruction and construction, especially on public projects. This has become extremely challenging given the current volatility of the construction market. However, the same team proposed for your project worked on McKinney Fire Station No. 11. Our Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) approved in October 2020 was $77,747 less than our initial estimate from eight (8) months prior. That equates to a degree of accuracy within 0.94%. Having spent five years in Stillwater, it didn’t take me long to feel the special community and culture around me. Stillwater is unlike any other place and you simply have to experience it to understand. There is a sense of pride that you don’t get anywhere else. My son was born at Stillwater Medical Center and to be able to give back to a community that has given me so much is something that you can’t put a price on. We appreciate your consideration of Crossland and look forward to building a relationship with the City of Stillwater on your upcoming projects. Please feel free to contact me should you need any additional information.

sand springs public safety

Innovative precon allows project to overcome COVID challenges The Sand Springs Public Safety Facility is a great addition to this community, providing a municipal court, fire station, police station, emergency operation center, dispatch center and courtroom – all under one roof. Like many projects in 2019, the CM process was running smoothly until the unexpected impacts of COVID-19 occurred. The pandemic, paired with the impletmentation of steel tariffs, soon brought the project, and it’s budget, to a challenging place. The owner and Crossland knew the original game plan would no longer be successful. Crossland’s preconstruction team took immediate action and was able to bring the project back in budget through extensive value engineering options and a series of six bid packages. In the end, despite health and political challenges, Crossland was able to finish the job on time and in budget.

andover fire station

Relocating services for a community with changing needs The City of Andover has continued to experience significant growth as the town has become the premier suburb of Wichita due to its outstanding schools and stunning housing inventory. As growth continues, emergency services must too grow. The current location was congested, and getting trucks out quickly and safely was becoming increasingly challenging. To shorten wait times for the community on said emergency services, in 2018, the City of Andover proposed a bond to build a new fire station and renovate its existing facilities to suit its residents better. After running the bond twice, the community passed it - but like many in their position, the budget was now out of date and constricted. Sure of their ability to bring this project in budget, Crossland is excited to build this project for the community of Andover. By providing cost-saving alternatives to current supplies and processes, Crossland will deliver this project on time and in budget for Andover without compromising on esthetics and quality.

A unique approach brings project back in budget Princeton Fire Station No. 3 is a new 7,800 SF Fire Station that will provide additional resources to the growing community of Princeton. The Fire Station includes three apparatus bays with highspeed full-glass sectional overhead doors and a vehicle exhaust system. The Living Quarters has: six dorm rooms, a kitchen with residential appliances and range hood, a laundry room, a dayroom, a locker room, a fitness room, a decon room, and an extractor and bunker gear room. When Crossland was selected as the low bidder, the city understood that with price escalations the project needed altered to get in budget. Crossland produced a number of alternative solutions to bring down costs without compromising on the quality. One significant solution was a change of structure type; by changing to a PEMB with stone facade added on to it, the team was able to save significant costs while maintain the visual esthetic the city desired.

Special Services EXPERIENCE MATTERS CITY OF STILLWATER, MUNICIPAL, + CM When it comes to construction – experience matters. We’ve built an extensive number of municipal projects using the CM delivery method, so we understand the processes and procedures required to successfully deliver buildings communities are proud of. We’re flexible. Our project team has experience working within Payne County when building ALDI #18, Enbridge Pipelines Offices, OSU Track and Field, OSU Equine, Stillwater WTP and WWTP, and others - so we’ve learned best practices for working with you and can now be very proactive in anticipating your needs and working with your staff. We’re familiar with permitting, inspection staff, processes, and documentation deadlines like schedule, owner billings, RFIs, submittals, and closeout. We also have great subcontractor relationships.

WORLD-CLASS PRECONSTRUCTION We take pride in executing preconstruction services that set your project up for success. We’re known for rolling up our sleeves and finding the best solutions for our clients to deliver the project they need within their budget. The current market is volatile but with our experience and relationships, we’re able to provide the information you need to make wellinformed decisions in preconstruction that lead to a smooth, painless construction process.

QUALITY CONTROL We understand that fire stations are more than an office for the fire fighters who keep our communities safe. They are a home away from home. We will ensure the building they live in and work from is the highest quality. That quality starts in preconstruction with proper planning and is carried out in construction through a site-specific QC plan, well-run OAC meetings, pre-installation meetings, going above and beyond to interpret construction details at all phases, daily pre-task planning, mock ups, daily jobsite walks, and rolling punch lists.

14


LOCAL VALUE BACKED BY BIG RESOURCES Our office is less than an hour away from this project site, so we are familiar with the area and can be on-site within a moment’s notice. Fire stations are vital to the safety of a community, so we’ll take extreme pride in providing a fire station that the City and the community can be proud of.

REAL BUILDERS + SELF-PERFORM CAPABILITIES As Real Builders, we are known for a hands-on, boots-on-the-ground approach. Our selfperform capabilities aren’t right for every project, but our construction knowledge and experience undoubtedly adds value to every project.

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

One of the biggest challenges facing this project and the entire construction market is the continued cost escalation and growing lead times for critical materials/equipment.

Crossland has successfully mitigated these challenges throughout the past year by providing extremely diligent Preconstruction Services. Constant contact with our subcontractors and suppliers Identify long lead items early and build our schedule around them to avoid delays Early release packages and partial GMP’s following the design development phase.

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

Building Fire Stations and Public Safety Headquarters present certain unique challenges due to the criticality of the systems within and the services that they provide to the community.

Crossland has built more than 40 Fire Stations as a company and our proposed Project Team have built multiple Fire Stations for the City of Stillwater and several others throughout the Midwest. We fully understand the unique systems (ie. Vehicle Exhaust System, Firefighter Air Replenishment System, Fire Station Call Dispatch Alerting System, etc…) and equipment (ie. Extractor, Cascade Equipment, etc. required to make these facilities functional. We are experts when it comes to building Fire Stations and have a proven track record to support this claim.

CHALLENGE

SOLUTION

Fire stations and public safety buildings are more than just community buildings - we understand they are a home away from home for our first responders. The fit and finish of the new facility will be paramount to project success.

From the beginning, we’ll have the occupants’ experience in mind. We’ll put a great deal of effort into balancing the practical uses of the facility with features that make it a stunning community showpiece. We’ll be deliberate in how we sequence work to make sure we are not working over finished products. And, we keep a rolling punch list that we address in real-time during construction to address QC issues early.

sentimental In loving memory of our founder, Ivan “Red Iron” Crossland, Sr.

We had a unique start, which we think explains a lot about us. Ask any one of our 1500+ employees what our founder, Ivan Crossland, Sr., stood for—every single one would say family, honesty, and hard work. Those values are engrained in everything we do.


our story Our story began in 1977 with our founder, the late Ivan Crossland, Sr., lovingly known as ‘Red Iron’. He started Crossland Construction out of the family garage with a wife and ten kids at home. His optimism, integrity, work ethic, and grit led him to success in every endeavor. His story became the embodiment of The American Dream, but more importantly, it continues to inspire us every day. Today, we are humbled by our continued growth over the years. Still family-owned and operated, we have expanded to four companies, nine office locations, over 1500 dedicated employees, and rank in the top 100 construction firms in the nation. We continue to serve under Ivan Sr.’s belief that if you dream big, remain humble, and work hard great things are possible.
