Fire Resource Management Building Design Funding and Construction Planning

The Goodyear Fire Department is advancing its Fire Resource Management Building project, funded by a 2023 general obligation bond totaling $31,140,000. The City Council has approved design funding of $1.76 million for FY26, with construction costs estimated at $26 million. A significant milestone is the anticipated completion of the design by January 2027, which will facilitate the transition to construction planning. During a recent City Council meeting, it was highlighted that the construction phase has been moved out of the five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), indicating a shift to the normal budget process for FY28 funding. This change underscores the urgency and importance of this project, which is now positioned for a formal solicitation process. The following excerpt from the meeting illustrates the funding and project scope: “21:04 Uh so in 2023 the voters approved through a general obligation bond a resource management as part of that uh that bond went along with the training center. Um that was the current project is sits at 31,140,000.” Agency: Goodyear Fire Department Signal type: pre_rfp Sentinel confidence: 100 Independent mentions: 1 Meeting date: 2026-09-15 / Goodyear AZ Stakeholders and vendors interested in public sector contracts related to fire resource management should monitor this project closely, particularly as the design completion date approaches in January 2027.
