Explanation
§ The Hickory Grove Division Police Station project will include construction of a 13,300 square foot facility located at 7025 Albemarle Road in Council District 5.
§ The Hickory Grove Division is currently occupying a leased property at 5727 North Sharon Amity Road.
§ In 2010, City Council approved the Facilities Strategic Plan for Police Stations. The goals for division stations in the Plan are:
- Owned and maintained by the City, not located in leased facilities,
- Constructed in highly visible and accessible locations that contribute to the community perception of safety and security,
- Sized to accommodate future personnel growth and support the functions a patrol division is expected to provide to the community,
- Designed to be highly recognizable as a CMPD division station while reflecting the exterior design context of the community where it is located, and
- Support the functional needs of a patrol division based on a standardized facility design template.
§ To date, five of the planned 13 division stations have been completed.
§ The Hickory Grove Division Station will be built to achieve basic-level LEED version four certification per the City Policy on Sustainable Facilities. LEED certification is awarded to buildings that demonstrate a high level of energy-efficiency and sustainable design.
§ The designers have estimated that by incorporating these elements into the construction, this building will save approximately 25 percent in annual energy usage compared to buildings built to minimum building code standards.
§ On February 2, 2018, the City issued the Invitation to Bid; seven bids were received.
§ MV Momentum Construction, LLC was selected as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
§ Council approved a total of $9.1 million as part of the Fiscal Year 2016 and 2018 Community Investment Plans for the design and construction of this facility.
§ The project is anticipated to be complete by fourth quarter 2019.
