Body
BACKGROUND
Dallas Love Field Airport’s existing Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting Station No. 21 is located near the north side of airfield and currently accommodates six Dallas Fire Rescue vehicles, which includes four Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Apparatus in four pull-through bays. The building was built in the 1960’s and has passed its useful life. The Department of Aviation is in the process of reconfiguring the Crossfield Taxiway Project in the middle of the airfield to comply with current Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) design standards. Based on the reconfiguration, the existing fire station does not meet the FAA response time for aircraft emergencies and consequently the proposed new fire station will need to be constructed in a new location to meet the FAA requirements.
In July 2019, a site study which included a conceptual program for the building and site, was completed by Ricondo & Associates, Inc. and was approved by the Department of Aviation. The architectural programming is in accordance with the City of Dallas, FAA and ARFF standards and requirements. This project intent is to procure a contractor to build a new facility that combines efficiency and sustainability by co-locating both ARFF Station No. 21 functions and personnel as well as the Department of Aviation’s Airside Operations Division.
This action will authorize a construction services contract with Satterfield & Pontikes Construction, Inc. to provide construction services for the Dallas Love Field Aircraft Rescue and Firefighters Station No. 21 Project.
