The project was funded through Federal <br />Aviation Administration (FAA) entitlement and <br />discretionary funds with a five percent Airport Fund <br />match of about $192,000. <br /> <br />The new ARFF station, which was constructed to <br />Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design <br />(LEED) ® Silver certification standards, will replace the <br />outdated and undersized Fire Station 12 building. The <br />new 11,600 square-foot building features four ARFF <br />vehicle bays, specialized equipment storage, <br />conference space, and living quarters for four firefighters. <br /> <br />Relocating the station on the north end of the airfield will enable fire personnel to access either runway under the <br />required FAA response time. The old Station 12 building was the only remaining fire station operated by the City of <br />Eugene that lacked separate quarters for both male and female firefighters. <br /> <br />The project was a joint effort between staff from the Eugene Airport, Eugene Fire & EMS Department (EFD), City of <br />Eugene Facilities and Information Services divisions, RS&H, a facility and infrastructure consulting firm, and PIVOT <br />Architecture, a Eugene design firm. RS&H has extensive experience in planning airport fire stations. PIVOT <br />designed several of the new EFD stations. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Eugene Airport Director of Communication and Development Cathryn Stephens at <br />541-682-5430. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />September 16, 2010 <br />
