BACKGROUND
Background
Guilford County and the City of Greensboro built a co-located facility at Reedy Fork in 2015 that allowed EMS to reside in designated space in a facility with an estimated life span for at least forty years. Under the terms of the agreement, the City constructed the facility, and charged the County actual cost per square foot for the portion of the building allocated for County use. This substantially reduced the County's amount of expenditure, while enhancing public safety. The Greensboro Fire Station 63 project has just begun with an anticipated completion date of approximately one year.
ESTIMATE FOR CONSTRUCTION REIMBURSEMENT (building currently under construction, so final project costs not determined):
Estimated project costs for building: $4,596,000
Total Building Square Footage: 12,773
Estimated Construction Cost per Square Foot: $359.82
Designated EMS square Footage within the building 1,400
Representative costs for EMS portion to reimbursed to the City: $503,748
Furnishings to be ordered by the CITY for continuity of the facility, and direct built to the COUNTY, at an estimated cost of $7,500.
This represents a significant savings over site acquisition, design, civil, and build expense for a standalone county facility.
An adopted capital project ordinance effective at the same time as the agreement on July 1, 2017 in the amount of $511,248 for this project is needed for Finance to pre-audit the agreement.

This project was initially anticipated to be funded in FY 2019 according to the CIP. ...
