The City of Troy this week announced it is accepting bids for construction of a new firehouse in Lansingburgh in the 600 block of 2nd Avenue.
The current firehouse, located on 5th Avenue, is more than 40 years old and is widely regarded as outdated and in less-than-optimal condition. Discussions about replacing it have ebbed and flowed for several years, but Mayor Carmela Mantello had said she was making action on it a priority as a part of City efforts to revitalize the 2nd Avenue corridor.
The new station will feature four high-bay apparatus bays with a partial mezzanine within a one-story section of the building. A connected two-story section will include firefighter living quarters, administrative offices, an exercise room, decontamination and gear washrooms, bunk rooms, and locker rooms.
The project also will include renovations to the existing storage building at 633 2nd Avenue, including structural improvements, interior renovations, and upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Mantello said the firehouse project is part of her administration’s $16 million investment in the Troy Fire Department, focused on strengthening equipment, facilities, and resources for the city’s firefighters.
Submissions are due by April 7.
