This project provides partial funding for the renovation and enhancement of Rockville Fire Station 3, which was constructed in 1965. The scope of work includes: structural repairs; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility improvements; an addition to increased living and bunk space; maintenance bay reconfiguration and conversion to locker area; and improvements in kitchen, living area, administrative area, and bunk rooms. Other facility repairs include replacement of the existing roof and paved parking lot surface.

Funds are deferred to FY26 due to project delays.

The present facility does not comply with current building or ADA code requirements for fire suppression sprinklers, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning, electrical systems, personnel living quarters, and work space. The consulting structural engineer recommended that a complete renovation to the existing facility would be more cost effective in the long-run than multi-year partial repairs.

This PDF reflects a one-time County contribution of $500,000 for this project. The remaining expenditures will be mostly funded with non-tax funds provided by the RVFD. Partial funding may also be provided through the State of Maryland Senator William H. Amoss Fire, Rescue, and Ambulance fund. The RVFD developed cost estimates for this project through an independent cost estimator.

City of Rockville; Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service; Department of General Services, Division of Building Design and Construction; and Rockville Volunteer Fire Department.
