A Broadview Heights firm has won a contract to renovate Strongsville's Albion Road fire station, one of four fire stations in the city.
The city will pay Seitz Builders Inc. $586,900. The company submitted the lowest of six bids, the highest of which was $842,780. The other four bids ranged from $611,700 to $729,000.
Building Commissioner Tony Biondillo said that since Seitz's bid was under budget, the renovation will include several additional items listed as alternates in the bid documents. The alternates include fiberglass windows, millwork, furniture, sidewalk and brick repairs and LED lights. Seitz will also paint the station's bay rooms.
The main work will include redesigning restrooms to make accommodations for women firefighters, although the city now employs only men firefighters; upgrading the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system and adding insulation; and replacing the roof. The project will also include buying a new backup generator and replacing a light pole and fixture at the station's front entrance.
