KINGSTON, N.Y. >> Mayor Steve Noble will appoint a working group to closely examine a report that concluded about $3.8 million of improvement work is needed at the Central Fire Station in Midtown.
The report, by Latham-based consulting firm C.T. Male Associates, outlined significant repairs said to be needed, as well as work to bring the Midtown building up to current standards. The firm then created a document that broke the initial report into high-, medium- and low-priority needs in the 110-year-old structure.
The high-priority work alone would cost less than everything suggested in the initial report, but still amount to nearly $2 million. That is more than half of C.T. Male’s total estimate of $3,796,868.
The C.T. Male reports came on the heels of one prepared by Peak Engineering that said reinforcements to the firehouse’s concrete floor, where fire trucks are parked, had deteriorated significantly.
