A $10 million construction order is on the table for Fire Station 31
The November 10 committee agenda names Manhattan/RFB, JV for construction, following a separate $447,610 redesign authorization in September.
Current coverage updates this story. Fire Station 31’s $10 million construction order wins a 5–0 recommendation →
Fire Station 31 would get a construction task order worth up to $10 million under a proposal on the November 10 agenda of Atlanta's Finance/Executive Committee. Manhattan/RFB, JV would do the work.[1][2]
Resolution 26-R-4361 would authorize the mayor or a designee to issue the order under an existing large job-order contracting agreement on behalf of the Department of Enterprise Asset Management. The work would be paid from the city's 2022A1 public-improvement social bond fund.[2]
That is a separate step from the station's $447,610 redesign authorization. City Council approved Resolution 26-R-4007 by a 13–0 vote on September 21, authorizing a Harris + Smith, LLC task order for construction redesign services—not the construction order now proposed.[2][3]
Atlanta Fire Rescue's October 26 first-quarter report listed Station 31 as new construction with “Groundbreaking: Pending,” rather than giving a completion date. That facilities update used data exported September 30; it does not establish whether groundbreaking occurred afterward.[4]
The construction proposal is not evidence of an award. Its agenda packet lists committee consideration on November 10 and a pending City Council step on November 16 at 1 p.m. The records reviewed for this report do not establish the November 10 committee outcome.[2]
