This project provides for the repair and replacement of paved surfaces at fire and rescue stations where existing paved surfaces are in poor and deteriorating condition.

Scheduling is determined through annual inspections performed by the Department of General Services, Division of Building Design and Construction, in consultation with the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service. The station schedule displays anticipated priorities only and may be amended, if required, due to fire station pavement safety considerations.

Project costs over the six-year period are increased to reflect the impact of new Americans with Disabilities (ADA) requirements and the addition of funding for projects in FY27 and FY28.

The current candidate project list was determined by a survey conducted by the Department of General Services, Division of Building Design and Construction. The ongoing need for exterior resurfacing at fire and rescue stations is due to the continuous use by heavy equipment such as pumpers and ladder trucks. While surfaces at some stations have lasted many years, others have deteriorated and failed in less than seven years.

Related expenditures of $140,000 for Kensington FS #25 (P450903) are supported by this project. Funds have been shifted from the ADA: MCG project to support the additional cost of new ADA requirements. Debt service for this project will be financed with Consolidated Fire Tax District Funds. Project costs are not escalated and represent present value costs for future year projects.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.

Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service, Local Volunteer Fire and Rescue Departments, Department of General Services, and Maryland State Highway Administration.
