Washington state has recently funded a replacement project for Fire Stations 42 and 45 located in Bothell designed to mitigate the health stresses for first responders. The project aimed at enhancing the well-being of its firefighters and improving emergency response capabilities.
The Miller Hull Partnership, in collaboration with BNBuilders, OAC Services, Inc., and the City of Bothell, has undertaken the design-build initiative, incorporating innovative features to address the physical and psychological challenges faced by firefighters in the line of duty.
The Fire Stations Replacement Project was predominantly funded by the 2018 voter-approved Safe and Secure Bond, with a budget of $35.5 million. In 2021, the Bothell City Council approved an amended Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and a total project cost of $38 million.
