City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 3
Introduction and Project Background
A Fire Station provides storage for firefighting and rescue apparatus as well as housing
the firefighters that operate them. Fire Stations are in use 24 hours a day seven days a
week by fire fighters and must provide for their needs and the needs of the apparatus as
well as training and management functions . This is the Home for Firefighters.
This study details the physical assessment of the existing fire station facilities for the City
of Jefferson , Missouri , Fire Department.
Inspections and evaluations of the existing fire stations have been conducted in order to
determine any current physical problems regarding the Site , Interior and exterior of each
building , its structural systems and Mechanical Electrical systems along with the capability
of the stations to perform their desired function for the City of Jefferson Fire Department.
Information has been provided by the Fire Department relative to current maintenance
issues , recent maintenance and history of the stations as well as desired upgrades to help
enhance the livability and function of the stations now and into the future .
This report outlines the physical condition and needs for each existing station. The Goal
of this report is to provide the City of Jefferson with a physical analysis of each station in
order to provide information regarding needed and potential enhancements to the stations:
This report details the following:
• Building Code Requirements and Recommendations
• General Information regarding the evaluation process .
o Common Mechanical , Electrical and Plumbing issues related to all stations.
• Evaluation of each station:
o Building Summary
o Fire Department Evaluation and Requests for each station .
o Current Conditions and Observed needs for maintaining the existing building.
o Recommendations for potential future improvements.
o Mechanical , Electrical and Plumbing Evaluation.
o Structural Evaluation .
• Cost Estimates related to Maintenance of existing buildings .
• Cost Estimates for potential additions to buildings.
The building code permits additions and renovations to existing buildings provided that
all new construction conforms to the code without requiring the un-renovated portions to
conform to current code :
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 5
Building Code Review:
Excerpt from the 2006 International Building Code:
"3403. 1 Existing buildings or structures: Additions or alterations to any building
or structure shall comply with the requirements of the code for new construction.
Additions or alterations shall not be made to an existing building or structure that
will cause the existing building or structure to be in violation of any provisions
of this code . An existing building plus additions shall comply with the height
and area provisions of Chapter 5. Portions of the structure not altered and not
affected by the alteration are not required to comply with the code requirements
for a new structure."
It should be noted that Fire Stations are of particular importance to the community ,
especially in the event of a disaster. As such the building code associates the highest level
of importance to these facilities. Changes of a dramatic nature to the existing structural
systems are required to meet the existing seismic loading requirements and thus place a
higher cost burden if contemplating dramatic renovations.
It is with this in mind that additions to Fire Station should be planned for in advance and
become more difficult to afford for older buildings.
The International Existing Building Code also lists specific requirements regarding structural
requirements for renovations:
"Section 302.2 of the ICC International Existing Building Code specifies that
"additions or alterations to an existing structure shall not increase the force in
any structural element by more than 5 percent (unless the increased forces on
the element are still in compliance with code for new structures), nor shall the
strength of any structural element be decreased to less than required by the
International Building Code for new structures ."
Typically we plan fire stations to allow for both compliance with the building code and safety
and security above the minimal requirements of the code due to the importance factor
and the nature of the occupancy. Adding items such as building sprinkler systems , shunt
trip breakers to shut off kitchen power when a call arrives and kitchen exhaust hoods with
suppression systems provide a level of safety beyond the code but also mimic the safety
items that a fire department sites on a daily basis for the protection of buildings. While
these are not requirements they should be considerations .
With the overall importance of the building and its occupants the consideration of storm
safe rooms becomes an important aspect and potential of a fire station facility. Currently
only Fire station #1 has a basement which is capable of housing the firefighters during a
tornado. Even with this basement there are still some elements that could be made better
for storm safety and communication in this station.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 6
The current facilities do not comply with ADA requirements . While it is our opinion that
the inherent operation of a fire station eliminates the need for full ADA compliance for the
firefighters , other municipalities have seen it otherwise as a public facility. It would be
prudent to confer with legal counsel regarding the need for full compliance of the facility .
General Information
In evaluating the buildings there has been an emphasis on the current conditions of the
structures and functional components relative to need for repair. This report has the
purpose of providing the City with useful information on what items are deemed necessary
for maintenance in order to maintain the buildings in a safe and sanitary manner as well
as to maintain the exterior envelope in working weather tight conditions.
The Structural review has looked at the soundness of the structural systems as well as
the capability to add onto the structures if desired.
The Architectural review has coupled input from the Fire Department for functional need
with evaluation of the existing physical conditions and those detrimental to maintaining a
working facility.
The Mechanical , Electrical and Plumbing review has focused on those systems that are
critical to environmental control of the facility.
In all cases the goal has been to establish :
1. Items that are deemed necessary and appropriate to maintain the existing
buildings in a functional condition .
2. Provide designs relative to the needs of the Fire Department for Remodel and
Addition to the facilities .
3. Provide preliminary cost estimates relative to the anticipated items above.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 7
Definition of Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Evaluation Criteria
For purposes of this report for the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Systems , the
discussion of known issues is broken down into three major categories:
1. Critical Issues: Those issues which affect life safety and public health.
2 . Serious Issues : Those issues that affect the health of the staff, operation of the
facility or present significant ongoing operation and maintenance costs.
3 . Other Issues: Those issues that affect staff comfort or convenience but have no
direct connection to operation of the facility.
The discussion below is separated into issues common to all fire stations and then unique
issues on a station-by station basis.
Common Issues Present at all Fire Stations for Mechanical, Electrical
and Plumbing:
Critical Issues:
• None of the fire stations have backflow prevention on the main water service(s) for
each facility. This is listed as critical in that all the stations water systems include
a tanker water fill provision, exposing the public water service to the possibility
of contamination in the event of a backflow condition in the City water service .
Stations 1, 3, 4 & 5 all have a single domestic water service that feeds both the
domestic and fill water requirements. Station# 2 has two separate water services;
one for domestic purposes and the other for the tanker fill.
• There are battery-operated smoke detectors in the sleeping quarters at all five
stations ; however, there are no smoke detectors just outside the sleeping quarters
at any of the five stations. Current Code requires smoke detectors in both
locations. The reasoning for this is that in the event of a fire outside of the sleeping
quarters , the system will alert when smoke is first detected in the exit way from the
sleeping quarters . If the exit way is not protected , the exit way may be unusable by
the time the sleeping quarter's detectors first sense smoke. Because of life safety
this issued is classified as critical. Current Code also requires that smoke detectors
be wired to a 120-volt circuit as well as battery-powered for backup purposes.
The battery-powered detectors currently in the stations rely upon the batteries
being changed at regular intervals . The fact that these are fire stations , where
presumably the fire fighters are more conscientious about changing smoke detector
batteries could be argued.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 8
Serious Issues:
• The HVAC systems for all five fire stations do not have any provisions for outside
(fresh) air. Codes have always had requirements for fresh air into commercial
buildings . The quantity of fresh air has varied over the years , but the requirement
has always been there . The lack of fresh air affects the staff 's health which makes
this a serious issue. In addition , the lack of fresh air combined with the exhaust
requirements for toilet and kitchen exhaust , results in the administration and
sleeping areas being negatively pressurized . This negative pressure results in
untreated air being drawn into these areas from the outdoors and the apparatus
bays . Air drawn into the living quarters from the apparatus bays carries in diesel
fumes and dirt as evidenced by independent observation and complaints from staff.
• There is no direct vehicle exhaust system in any of the five stations. There is a
wall-mounted propeller-type exhaust fan in each of the fire station ; however, its
capacity is insufficient to meet current Code requirements for general ventilation of
such spaces. This lack of adequate evacuation of diesel fumes and the build up of
combustion gases from running engines again affects staffs health.
• There is inadequate exhaust in the toilet/showers of all five fire stations. There is
minimal exhaust out of each toilet/shower which is adequate for toilet purposes;
however, the fact that each toilet also has showering facilities that are regularly
used leads to the build up of humidity in these areas. The high humidity , as
evidenced by moisture damage and rust formation on building components , leads
to ongoing maintenance issues and potential staff health issues associated with
mold and mildew formation which places this issue in the serious category .
• The lighting in all five stations consists primarily of T -12 fluorescent lamps and
magnetic ballasts . The Federal Government has banned the production of
magnetic ballasts after 2010 and T-12 fluorescent lamps after 2012 . While these
replacement parts are still available , their availability over the near future will
only dwindle. As a result , demand of a continually diminishing supply of these
replacement parts will result in increasing costs until the supply is completely
exhausted . At that time , everyone will be forced to upgrade to more modern
lighting systems .
City of Jefferson , Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 9
Other Issues:
• There is a general lack of zoning of the existing HVAC systems in all five stations.
Zoning refers to how the HV AC systems are arranged relative to differing load
requirements. Differing load requirements can be because of different exterior
exposures of the building envelope . For example , the cooling load will vary within
a building that has both east and west exposures . The east exposure will have
more of a cooling requirement in the morning . As the sun moves to the west in
the afternoon , the cooling load will shift from the east to the west with it. Differing
load requirements can also be because of occupancy. Cooling loads are affected
by people , lights and electric power for equipment. This part of the cooling load
usually follows the building occupancy. If the fire fighters are in the living quarters ,
that is where the load is . If they are in the sleeping quarters , the cooling load is
there . In the case of stations 2 , 4 & 5 there is only one HVAC system and as a
consequence one thermostat. The thermostat is the sole control of the amount
of heating and cooling supplied to the building. The thermostat controls what the
entire building gets based upon the load at the thermostat in the way of heating
or cooling . Other areas of the building get what they get. This leads to comfort
issues and the use of space heaters as witnessed in some stations during our
inspections .
• The overall height of the apparatus bays presents some challenges relative to
heating needs . These spaces are all heated with gas-fired unit heaters which is
fairly typical for most fire stations . Because of the natural convection of heated
air, the air in a tall space graduates from coldest at floor level to hottest at roof
level , referred to as stratification . Because of this stratification , to keep people
comfortable at say 50° F , the temperature at the underside of the roof might be
go o F. This results in the generation of a lot of ineffective heat. It also results in a
larger heat loss through the roof since the heat loss is a function of the temperature
difference between the under side of the roof and the outdoor air temperature.
• In general , the HVAC equipment has some age on it. According to the American
Society of Heating , Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASRHAE) the
average useful life of this type of equipment is 15 years. Most of the equipment ,
with the exception of the unit heaters in the apparatus bays , is of this age or
older. Some roof-top equipment at stations 1 & 3 appear to be original equipment
making them 33+ years old. In general the equipment used at the fire stations is
residential-type equipment. Replacement equipment is readily available locally.
As a result this report has classified this issue of less importance than it might
otherwise . Further, as discussed previously , there are other issues with the HVAC
systems that could potentially make its age a moot point.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 10
FIRE STATION #1-621 WEST HIGH ST.
Year Constructed: 1977
Age: 33 Years
Summary:
Fire Station #1 is a f ive bay station with both living quarters and administrative offices and
is currently the largest station in the City 's compliment. This station houses a total of 24
firefighters. Fire station #1 currently holds most training sessions for the fire department
and conducts public tours for the fire department.
Fire Department Evaluation and Requests:
• Lack of adequate office space

keep apparatus and personnel in their separate districts . Save on fuel usage.
• Vehicle exhaust system
o Diesel exhaust is a health hazard and exhaust fan is inadequate to ventilate
the space.
o Diesel fumes have entered the living quarters which include the kitchen and
bedroom area which is a health hazard .
• Visitor restroom is needed to accommodate tours and other events at the station
• Supply room too small
o At present this station stores all the supplies for the other stations
o Stores some parts and equipment for the trucks
• Larger kitchen needed
• Better workout facilities needed
• Separate area for female bunks
• EMS clean room and storage needed.
Exterior Building Description:
The building envelope consists of brick veneer with aluminum storefront glazing systems
and metal siding . The roof is a low-slope epdm system over rigid insulation which was
repaired in the fall of 2010.
Exterior Maintenance issues:
The building site within 5 feet of the perimeter shows evidence of settlement on the East
North and West sides. Currently the exit for the building on the South side is an open
platform with a ladder which could be deemed hazardous in an emergency event.
Recommendations for Exterior Maintenance Repairs:
• Rake and re-seal all expansion and control joints and masonry.
• Tuck-Point masonry where required.
• Thorough cleaning of exterior surfaces .
• Replace concrete aprons in front of apparatus following re-compaction of subgrade
due to settlement.
• Replace North entry porch with new slabs and ramps to allow for accessibility.
• Replace Steps on Northwest corner.
• Replace existing South overhead doors.
• Root existing foundation drains and downspout drains.
• Root and evaluate existing building and site sewer.
• Fully seal and repair metal parapet flashings.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FSl -12
Interior Maintenance Issues:
• In General the finishes for the existing building are in need of upgrade. Paint ,
Carpet and tiling should all be considered to need re-finishing.
• The existing sleeping quarters present a number of issues relative to comfort and
health safety .
• The Fire Department has reported that a number of firefighters have been bitten by
spiders and other insects are consistently found under built in bunks . The built in
items also provide little flexibility for additional bunking or re-configuration.
• Currently there is no segregation between male and female bunking and no female
Bath facilities.
• The existing kitchen facilities show age and condensation leaks are present at the
center exhaust hood .
• There are currently problems with sewer piping draining slowly.
• The apparatus bay is not adequately ventilated to provide for truck exhaust.
Exhaust fumes can freely enter the living spaces .
• Lockers and personal storage facilities are not adequate for a multiple day stay.
• The Floor in the apparatus bays shows signs of settlement. Mud jacking of
the slabs would be the first consideration in shoring the slabs to prevent future
settlement.
STRUCTURAL REVIEW
The proposed renovations for this building include mainly interior work along with the
possibility for repair of minor exterior paving-related problems.
The exterior of the building was observed and no significant issues were encountered
with the building itself. Small areas of minor settlement of the lower parking area (mainly
near the OHD openings), settlement of the North concrete apron and maintenance issues
related to settlement of the southwest stairs was noted.
MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEM REVIEW
Plumbing:
The existing plumbing system appears to be in good operating condition . There were no
reported problems associated with the plumbing. The water fill for the fire department
tankers is served from the domestic water service for the rest of the facility . There is no
backflow preventer installed in the domestic cold water service. Domestic cold and hot
water piping is copper and the sanitary piping is cast iron. The gas-fired water heater
appears to be in good condition and there were no reports of lack of hot water capacity
however there is no ventilation for gas odors and issues with the pilot light. None of the
plumbing facilities comply with ADA.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS1 -13
HVAC:
The heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consist of two roof-top heating/
cooling units. One serves the sleeping quarters and the other serves the remainder of the
facility with the exception of the basement and apparatus bay. Neither of these units has
outside air (OA) capability. The bedroom units are the original installed units when the
station was built in 1977, leaving them with 33 years of operation . The other unit serving
the day room and offices was replaced some 15 years ago. The basement is heated with
electric unit heaters in general, however there is a window air conditioning unit serving the
weight room in the basement. The apparatus bays are heated with standard efficiency
gas-fired unit heaters. There is a general exhaust system in the apparatus bays that
consists of a wall -mounted propeller fan . Make up air for the propeller fan is available by
opening the apparatus bay door(s). There is no vehicle exhaust system in any of the bays
and there are no ceiling fans.
Based on discussions with staff, the complaints of the HVAC systems include the lack of
comfort in the administrative wing. We witnessed the use of portable electric heaters to
maintain comfort. In addition, there were complaints of diesel odors in the administration
wing and sleeping quarters. There were also complaints of high humidity in the basement,
especially the weight room and storage rooms. In addition, there was a comment concerning
the amount of insulation in the apparatus bay roof based, in part, on the apparatus bay
being cold in the winter.
Electrical:
The existing electrical service is 800-amp, 120/208-volt, 3 phase. There is also an 800-
amp, 3-pole transfer switch which is tied into an emergency generator located adjacent
to the building which serves a communications tower as well as the fire station. There
are no GFI receptacles in the kitchen or toilets . The receptacles in the apparatus bay are
weather-proof, mounted 48" above the floor, but are not GFI type . The lighting system
generally consists of fluorescent troffers in the administration area and the sleeping quarters.
The remainder of the facility is generally lit with fluorescent strip fixtures. All fluorescent
fixtures utilize T-12 fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts. There are a few incandescent
fixtures located in the sleeping quarters that are tied into the tone system to automatically
come on whenever the station 's "tone" is sounded . There are no lights in the basement,
apparatus bay or administration area interlocked with the tone system.
Other Systems:
There are no fire sprinkler or fire alarm systems in the facility; however, there is an intercom
system in the facility. There are no exit signs.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS1 -14
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing System Issues
Critical Issues:
• There are no GFI receptacles in the toilets , kitchen or apparatus bay. Current Code
requires such receptacles in those locations. Since this is a life safety issue , it is
listed as critical.
• There is inadequate coverage of the smoke detectors in the sleeping quarters . The
coverage of one detector in such a large area is not sufficient. Again , due to life
safety , this is listed as a critical issue .
Serious Issues:
• There were reports of high humidity in the basement weight room . Since our
inspection was during the winter, this was not independently verified ; however, the
fact that it is a basement makes it susceptible to humidity issues. Since this is an
issue that affects not only comfort , but also staff health and ongoing maintenance
issues it is listed as a serious issue.
• It was reported that the ductwork from the roof-top unit serving the living quarters
was dirty with diesel soot and moldy. While this was not independently verified,
it is certainly possible due to some of the issues previously discussed relative to
fresh air and apparatus bay exhaust. The health aspect of this issue classify it as
serious.
Other Issues:
• It was reported that the intercom system in the apparatus bay was inefficient and
difficult to understand.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REMODEL:
The attached drawings indicate the potential for renovation and addition to the building
in consideration of the desired functions requested by the Fire Department. Phase 1
addition and renovations address concerns relative to female facilities and administrative
functions. Phase 2 addition addresses the concerns relative to additional apparatus space,
training space and Exercise room functions which would allow for the basement to be used
primarily for storage.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS1 -15
FIRE STATION #2-2400 EAST MCCARTY ST.
Year Constructed: 1970
Age: 40 Years
Summary:
Fire Station #2 is a three bay station with living quarters and apparatus . This station houses
a total of 9 firefighters on 3 shifts . This station also houses 2 ambulance staff during the day .
Fire Department Evaluation and Requests:
• Lack of office space
o Separate office needed for Captain , current office area located in lobby which
makes it diff icult to complete reports and paperwork without interruption
o Traffic through office makes it difficult for Captain to conduct private meetings
with personnel including performance evaluations
o Exercise equipment located in the lobby for lack of space
• Inadequate equipment and gear storage
o No storage at present other than bay area which is always full
o Ambulance located in bay area from 9:00A.M. to 5 :00P .M . daily

3. Currently there is no segregation between male and female bunking and no
female Bath facilities .
4. Support facilities for laundry and physical training are inadequate .
5. There are currently problems with sewer piping draining slowly.
6. The apparatus bay is not adequately ventilated to provide for truck exhaust.
Exhaust fumes can freely enter the living spaces.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS2 -18
STRUCTURAL REVIEW
The potential renovations for this building include fill along the west side of the building ,
raising the roof of the apparatus bays , and a south or east building addition.
The grade of this lot slopes dramatically from north to south (front to back) and drops
approximately 6-7 FT from the west exterior wall towards the edge of the lot. It appears
as though there is sufficient clearance in order to construct either a conventional CIP or
segmental retaining wall that would allow the grade to be leveled along the west side of
the building. In doing so, required setbacks and adequate drainage along the west lot
line should be maintained.
Considering only structural items, it appears likely that the roof of the apparatus bay
could be raised by some amount (i.e. 2-3 FT) with only minor modifications required. The
framing consists of steel bar joists spanning north to south that are supported on CMU
bearing walls . The top of the CMU walls could simply be raised and it's likely that the
existing foundations would be sufficient to support the new wall loads. Additionally, due
to the proximity and geometry of the existing transition to the lower roof, increased snow
drift loads should not be a concern if the design loads from the original building code are
assumed.
Section 302.2 of the ICC International Existing Building Code specifies that
"additions or alterations to an existing structure shall not increase the force in
any structural element by more than 5 percent (unless the increased forces
on the element are still in compliance with code for new structures), nor shall
the strength of any structural element be decreased to less than required by
the International Building Code for new structures."
In this case, the increased wall area and higher roof would likely result in load increases
of more than 5% when wind forces are considered. Strict adherence to the code would
then result in an analysis of the entire structure with respect to its ability to resist the wind
forces prescribed by the current building code . At this stage it is difficult to judge whether
problem areas may be encountered however, considering the framing methods and
materials , it seems likely that the existing framing would be adequate.
A building addition either to the east or south seems possible. In either case though, care
needs to be taken in order to prevent increased snow drift loads on the existing building
roof structure . To the south the main concerns would be dealing with the change in grade
and the 1 0-inch storm drain that is centered on the building and daylights near the bottom
of the hill. The drain should be able to be re-routed but a tall retaining wall, basement wall
or significant grade changes would be necessary.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS2 -19
MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEM REVIEW
Plumbing:
The existing plumbing system appears to be in good operating condition excepting the
sewer drainage issues . There are two water services to the building , one for domestic
purposes and the other for the filling of the department's tankers. Neither of the services
has backflow prevention. Domestic cold and hot water piping is copper and the sanitary
piping is unknown . Most of the domestic cold water piping is insulated with W' thick armaflex
insulation; the domestic hot water piping was not insulated. The gas-fired water heater
has a 40 gallon storage capacity with a 32 ,000 Btuh gas input rating. It appears to be in
good condition and there were no reports of lack of hot water capacity.
HVAC:
The heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consist of a gas-fired furnace
for heating the apparatus bay and a gas-fired furnace and air-cooled condensing unit for
heating and air conditioning of the administration area and sleeping quarters. These units
appear to have been replaced at least once since the building was built in 1970. Although
their exact age is unknown one unit appears was reported to have been replaced within
the past 5 years , the other for the apparatus appears to be mid-eighties vintage equipment.
That being the case, the apparatus unit has been operating for 22-27 years. The apparatus
bay furnace has an input capacity of 132 ,000 Btuh and the administration furnace has an
input capacity of 100,000 Btu h. The condensing unit has a nominal 5-ton cooling capacity .
There is no outside air on either of the two systems . There is minimal exhaust from the
toilet/shower area . There is also a general exhaust system in the apparatus bays that
consists of a wall-mounted propeller fan . Make up air for the propeller fan is available by
opening the apparatus bay door(s). There is no vehicle exhaust system in any of the bays
and there are no ceiling fans .
Based on discussions with staff , there were complaints of diesel odors in the administration
wing and sleeping quarters and high humidity in the toilet/shower room.
Electrical:
The existing electrical service is 225-amp , 120/40-volt, 1 phase. There is no provision for
emergency power at this facility. There are no GFI receptacles in the kitchen or toilets.
There are no GFI receptacles in the kitchen or toilets. The receptacles in the apparatus
bay are non-GFI standard type , mounted 48" above the floor. The lighting system generally
consists of fluorescent troffers in the administration area and the sleeping quarters. The
apparatus bay is lit with fluorescent strip fixtures . All fluorescent fixtures utilize T -12
fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts . There are a few incandescent fixtures located in
the sleeping quarters that are tied into the tone system to automatically come on whenever
the station 's "tone " is sounded. There are no lights in the apparatus bay or administration
area interlocked with the tone system.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS2 -20
Other Systems:
There are no fire sprinkler or fire alarm systems in the facility . There are no exit signs in
the facility.
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing System Issues
Critical Issues:
• There are no GFI receptacles in the toilets , kitchen or appa ratus bay . Current
Code requires such receptacles in those locations . Since this is a life safety issue ,
it is listed as critical.
Serious Issues :
• There is no emergency generator capability . In the event of an extended electrical
outage , station # 2 will not function as it does under normal conditions. Because
of the nature of a fire station , this is listed as a serious issue ; however, the overall
Department's emergency operational plan (EOP) needs to be evaluated to place
proper emphasis on this issue.
Other Issues:
• It was reported that the drain for the kitchen sink is slow. There is an air
admittance valve (inside vent) that was added , but reportedly had no effect.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REMODEL:
The attached drawings indicate the potential for renovation and addition to the building in
consideration of the desired functions requested by the Fire Department. Phase 1 addition
and renovations address concerns relative to female facilities , administrative functions ,
Physical Training and adequate bathroom space. Expansion of the apparatus bays is
possible but would be cost prohibitive noting the Structural needs and current value of
the station.

Building Shell Description:
The building envelope consists of stone and brick veneer and mineral siding with aluminum
storefront glazing systems . The roof is a low-slope epdm system over rigid insulation.
Exterior Maintenance issues:
The current building is set to be replaced in the near future. With this in mind the building
has been evaluated for most immediate need to keep the building functional. The existing
roof and leaks appear to be the largest issues.
Recommendations for Exterior Maintenance Repairs:
• Repair roofing where required due to leaks , Replace existing roof decking where
required for stability at HVAC Units .
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS3-24
Interior Maintenance Issues:
1. In General the finishes for the existing building are in need of upgrade. Paint,
Carpet and Tile could all be considered .
2. Noting the pending replacement we would recommend painting in selected
areas and thorough cleaning of the entire building by a professional cleaner in
order to upgrade the interior and eliminate mold issues with as little expenditure
as possible.
STRUCTURAL REVIEW
The current thought is that no significant work is planned for this building . The exterior of
the building was briefly observed and no significant concerns were noted.
MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEM REVIEW
Plumbing:
The existing plumbing system appears to be in good operating condition. There is one
water service to the building feeding both the domestic water and the station's tanker fill.
The water service does not have backflow prevention. Domestic cold and hot water piping
is copper and the sanitary piping is unknown. The staff reported numerous issues with
the drainage system clogging , leading one to believe the outside drainage system might
by vitrified clay pipe. One gas-fired water heater in the work room has a 30 gallon storage
capacity with a 40,000 Btuh gas input rating. The other water heater is in a closet in the
bedroom-It appears to be in good condition and there were no reports of lack of hot water
capacity .
HVAC:
The heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consist of a gas-fired furnace
and air-cooled condensing unit for heating and air conditioning of the administration area .
These units appear to have been replaced at least once since the building was built in 1967.
Although their exact age is unknown, they appear to be mid-eighties vintage equipment.
That being the case, these units have been operating for 25-30 years. The apparatus bay
is heated with (2) 125 ,000 Btuh gas-fired unit heaters. These heaters appear to have been
replaced recently . The sleeping quarters is conditioned by a roof-top heating and cooling
unit. The roof-top unit was reported to have been replaced about 15 years ago . There
is no outside air on either of the two systems. There is minimal exhaust from the toilet/
shower area. There is a general exhaust system in the apparatus bays that consists of a
wall-mounted propeller fan. Make up air for the propeller fan is available by opening the
apparatus bay door(s). There is no vehicle exhaust system in any of the bays and there
are no ceiling fans.
Based on discussions with staff, there were complaints of diesel odors in the administration
wing and sleeping quarters.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS3-25
Electrical:
The existing electrical service is 400-amp, 120/40-volt, 1 phase. There is no provision for
emergency power at this facility, although there appears to be an abandoned electrical
service that could have been a part of a service for an adjacent communications tower that
is no longer there . There are no GFI receptacles in the kitchen ; however the receptacles
in the toilets are GFI type. The receptacles in the apparatus bay are non-GFI standard
type , mounted 18" above the floor . The lighting system generally consists of fluorescent
troffers in the administration area and the sleeping quarters. The apparatus bay is lit
with fluorescent strip fixtures . All fluorescent fixtures utilize T-12 fluorescent lamps with
magnetic ballasts. There are a few incandescent fixtures located in the sleeping quarters
that are tied into the tone system to automatically come on whenever the station 's "tone"
is sounded. There are no lights in the apparatus bay or administration area interlocked
with the tone system.
Other Systems:
There are no fire sprinkler or fire alarm systems in the facility. There are no exit signs .
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing System Issues
Critical Issues:
• There are no GFI receptacles in the toilets or apparatus bay. Current Code
requires such receptacles in those locations . Since this is a life safety issue, it is
listed as critical.
• The receptacles in the apparatus bay are mounted at standard height of 18"
above the floor. Generally , in areas where gasoline or diesel fuel is present , the
receptacles should be mounted higher (48 "). Since gasoline and diesel fumes are
heavier than air, they sink toward the floor. Having the receptacles mounted higher
keeps them above the fumes and minimizing the possibility of an explosion from an
electrical arc in the event of a fuel leak or spill.
Serious Issues:
• There is no emergency generator capability. In the event of an extended electrical
outage , station# 3 will not function as it does under normal conditions. Because
of the nature of a fire station, this is listed as a serious issue; however, the overall
Department's Emergency Operational Plan (EOP) needs to be evaluated to place
proper emphasis on this issue .
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS3-26
Other Issues:
• It was reported that there have been ongoing issues with the main building sewer
being clogged . Reportedly , the clogs mainly occur outside the building and are
likely due to tree roots or a partially collapsed sewer drain . Since station 3 is slated
for replacement in the next few years , this is not listed a serious ; however, it may
require ongoing maintenance issues during that time.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REMODEL:
A drawing of the existing building is attached however noting the pending replacement no
additional design is contemplated or presented for Station # 3 .

Age: 41 Years
Summary:
Fire Station #4 is a two-bay station with living quarters and apparatus. This station houses
a total of 9 firefighters on 3 shifts. This station is the smallest in square footage for the
City 's complement.
Fire Department Evaluation and Requests:
• No office space
• Office , kitchen and dining spaces located in one room
• Separate office needed for Captain , current office space in lobby makes it difficult
to complete reports , inspections and other paperwork without interruption
• Traffic through office makes it difficult for captain to conduct private meetings with
personnel including performance evaluations
• Inadequate apparatus space
o Bays are too small and addition bay is needed
• • Inadequate equipment and gear storage
o No storage area other than bays which are already overcrowded
• • No physical fitness room
o Personnel now work out in the bay area where exhaust is problematic
o If the bay doors are opened workouts are cut short as a result of the cold
• Need larger dayroom/classroom /meeting room with audio/visual equipment
• Station too small to meet current needs
• No female restrooms or bunk facilities
• No public restrooms
• EMS clean room and storage area needed
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS4 -29
Building Shell Description:
The building envelope consists of brick veneer with aluminum storefront glazing systems
and wood trim . The roof is a low-slope epdm system over rigid insulation.
Exterior Maintenance issues:
The building site on the North side shows evidence of settlement especially at the
communications tower control room .
Recommendations for Exterior Maintenance Repairs:
1. Rake and re-seal all expansion and control joints and masonry.
2 . Tuck-Point masonry where required and repair areas of settled masonry at
lower control room.
3. Provide foundation stabilization measures at existing tower control building .
4 . Scrape and paint existing Fascias.
5. Scrape , repair and paint existing exposed steel surfaces.
6. Repair downspout drainage piping at grade .
7 . Replace Gutter and downspout on the north side of the building.
Interior Maintenance Issues:
1. In General the finishes for the existing building are in need of upgrade. Paint ,
Carpet and tiling should all be considered.
2. The existing kitchen is in need of upgrade to accommodate the number of
personnel and to adequately provide for meal preparation.
3. Currently there is no segregation between male and female bunking and no
female Bath facilities.
4 . Support facilities for laundry and physical training are inadequate .
5 . The apparatus bay is not adequately ventilated to provide for truck exhaust.
Exhaust fumes can freely enter the living spaces .
STRUCTURAL REVIEW
It is our understanding that the current proposed renovation involves the potential of
raising the roof of the apparatus bay . Early on , it was also thought there might be some
discussions related to a potential addition to the south .
This building is constructed with conventional structural steel columns and beams supporting
insulated metal roof panels . Lateral stiffness is provided through the use of beam-column
moment resisting connections. Considering the size and methods of the existing framing ,
along with the geometry of the roof system as a whole , we do not anticipate that raising
the apparatus bay roof framing will be feasible.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS4 • 30
Section 302.2 of the ICC International Existing Building Code specifies that
"additions or alterations to an existing structure shall not increase the force in
any structural element by more than 5 percent (unless the increased forces on
the element are still in compliance with code for new structures), nor shall the
strength of any structural element be decreased to less than required by the
International Building Code for new structures ."
In this case , the increased wall area and higher roof would likely result in load increases of
more than 5 % when wind forces are considered. Also , the step in the roof that would be
required to transition from the living areas to the raised apparatus bay would result in the
addition of drifting snow on the adjacent lower roof. Strict adherence to the code would
then result in an analysis of the entire structure with respect to its ability to resist the wind
and snow forces prescribed by the current building code . Considering the framing methods
and materials used , it seems likely that the existing framing would not be adequate to resist
to these increased design loads .
It appears that an addition to the south could be completed with relative ease . The
main considerations would be the necessity for a tall retaining/foundation wall , providing
completely independent framing systems , and being careful not to create a condition that
could result in snow drifting on the roof of the existing building.
MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING SYSTEM REVIEW
Plumbing:
The existing plumbing system appears to be in good operating condition . There were
no reported problems associated with the plumbing . There is one water service to the
building serving both the domestic water and the other for the station 's tanker fill. The
service entrance has no backflow prevention. Domestic cold and hot water piping is copper
and the sanitary piping is unknown. The gas-fired water heater has a 50 gallon storage
capacity with a 40 ,000 Btuh gas input rating. It appears to be in good condition and there
were no reports of lack of hot water capacity .
HVAC:
The heating ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consist of a gas-fired furnace
for heating the apparatus bay and a gas -fired furnace and air-cooled condensing unit for
heating and air conditioning of the administration area and sleeping quarters. The unit
serving the lving quarters was reported to have been replaced about 5 years ago and
the apparatus unit appears to be mid -eighties vintage equipment. The apparatus unit
has been operating for 22 -27 years . The apparatus bay furnace has an input capacity of
132 ,000 Btuh and the administration furnace has an input capacity of 120 ,000 Btuh . The
condensing unit has a nominal 5-ton cooling capacity. There is no outside air on either
of the two systems. There is minimal exhaust from the toilet/shower area . There is also
a general exhaust system in the apparatus bays that consists of a wall-mounted propeller
fan . Make up air for the propeller fan is available by opening the apparatus bay door(s).
There is no vehicle exhaust system in any of the bays and there are no ceiling fans .
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FS4 • 31
Based on discussions with staff, there were complaints of diesel odors in the administration
wing and sleeping quarters and high humidity in the toilet/shower room.
Electrical:
The existing electrical service is 225-amp , 120/40-volt, 1 phase. There is minimal emergency
power at this facility , fed from a generator that serves an adjacent communications tower.
There are no GFI receptacles in the kitchen; however the receptacles in the toilets are GFI
type. The receptacles in the apparatus bay are non-GFI standard type , mounted 18" above
the floor. The lighting system generally consists of fluorescent troffers in the administration
area and the sleeping quarters . The apparatus bay is lit with fluorescent strip fixtures . All
fluorescent fixtures utilize T-12 fluorescent lamps with magnetic ballasts. There are a few
incandescent fixtures located in the sleeping quarters that are tied into the tone system to
automatically come on whenever the station 's "tone " is sounded . There are no lights in
the apparatus bay or administration area interlocked with the tone system.
Other Systems:
There are no fire sprinkler or fire alarm systems in the facility. There are no exit signs .
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing System Issues
Critical Issues:
• There are no GFI receptacles in the toilets or apparatus bay. Current Code
requires such receptacles in those locations . Since this is a life safety issue , it is

Serious Issues:
• There is minimal emergency power available to selected loads; however, there
is not a capability to power the entire station in the event of an extended power
outage and , as a result , station # 4 will not function as it does under normal
conditions. Because of the nature of a fire station , this is listed as a serious issue ;
however, the overall Department's emergency operational plan (EOP) needs to be
evaluated to place proper emphasis on this issue.

Building Shell Description:
The building envelope consists of brick veneer on the North side with vinyl siding and trim
on all other sides . The roof is a high-slope asphalt shingle wood decking and trusses .
Exterior Maintenance issues:
The building in general has performed as expected over its current life span . The exterior
materials with the exception of the brick veneer are at the end of their expected life span
and show age and repair/replacement needs.
Recommendations for Exterior Maintenance Repairs:
1. Rake and re-seal all expansion and control joints and masonry .
2. Tuck-Point masonry where required .
3 . Replace existing roofing system down to original deck . Replace damaged roof
decking .
4. Replace existing damaged vinyl siding , trim and soffits .
5 . Replace damaged downspouts.
6. Repair damaged asphalt and concrete parking areas.
Interior Maintenance Issues:
1. In General the finishes for the existing building are in need of upgrade . Paint ,
should be considered to be necessary along with the removal of the carpet in
the living areas and replacement with tile to improve cleaning and maintenance .
2. The existing kitchen is in need of upgrade to accommodate the number of
personnel and to adequately provide for meal preparation.
3. Currently there is no segregation between male and female bunking .
4 . The apparatus bay is not adequately ventilated to provide for truck exhaust.
Exhaust fumes can freely enter the living spaces .
5. The apparatus bay floor is experiencing significant cracking due to truck
loading-this should continue to be monitored .
STRUCTURAL REVIEW
The potential work originally discussed for this building included the addition of a third
apparatus bay to the south and/or new living quarters to the north or east.
This building is conventionally framed using wood stud bearing walls supporting pre-
engineered rood trusses . The existing framing appears to be in good condition and the
site , in general , is relatively flat. Considering the pre-engineered truss roof , the main
concern related to possible expansions would be to be certain that the geometry of any
new framing would not result in potential snow drifting on the existing framing.

Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing System Issues
Critical Issues:
• There are no GFI receptacles in the toilets. Current Code requires such
receptacles in those locations. Since this is a life safety issue , it is listed as critical.
Serious Issues:
• There is minimal emergency power (12.5kW) available to selected loads ; however,
there is not a capability to power the entire station in the event of an extended
power outage and , as a result , station# 5 will not function as it does under normal
conditions. Because of the nature of a fire station , this is listed as a serious issue ;
however, the overall Department's emergency operational plan (EOP) needs to be
evaluated to place proper emphasis on this issue .
Other Issues:
• Currently the truck fill for the apparatus runs through the water softener. This
becomes a huge burden on the water softener and a waste of salt. The water
softening system should be bypassed for truck fill.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REMODEL:
The attached drawings indicate the potential for renovation and addition to the building
in consideration of the desired functions requested by the Fire Department. Addition and
renovations address concerns relative to female facilities and Physical Training and the
addition of a third apparatus bay to house equipment.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report FSS-38
CONCLUSIONS
The information contained in this report is shown to guide the decision making process
relative to needed and future improvements for the Fire Station Facilities of the City of
Jefferson Missouri .
The study does not address needs for furniture, fixtures or equipment that are provided
in the stations or necessary for the proper operation of the department operations. It is
important that furniture , fixtures and equipment be evaluated on an ongoing basis to serve
the station and the firefighters properly.
Fire Station Facilities that are designed today should take into account the need for future
flexibility. The purpose of the flexibility is the ever changing community with which the
department serves and the nature of fire apparatus which continues to grow to serve the
demands and need of the department and the communities we live in.
Current apparatus in use do fit in the stations however space around the apparatus is
congested in stations 2 and 4. These stations are also not capable of housing ladder
trucks due to overhead door height and available structural clearance. Concrete apparatus
bay floors were not designed to handle the weights of modern fire apparatus that occupy
the stations. While some are holding up well in spite of this fact some are showing signs
of this deficiency .
The following items have been verified at each station as deficient based on current codes
and developed standards for public firefighting facilities and should be carefully considered:
• Stations do not fully meet current code or ADA guidelines for accessibility. While
these guidelines may not pertain to the firefighter using the facility they do pertain
to public buildings.
• Stations lack vehicle exhaust systems that are mandated by NFPA requirements .
• Stations do not provide separate or segregated sleeping and bath facilities for male
and female firefighters.
• Only Station #1 has physical training space that is outside of the apparatus bay.
• All stations do not provide fresh air for HVAC systems in conjunction with Current
Codes.
• Only Fire Station #1 provides a safe area to act as a storm shelter which is the
basement in this case. No stations have hardened rooms specifically for storm
safety.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Potential for additions and renovations:
FIRE STATION #1-621 WEST HIGH ST.
Based on its location , the upgrade of this station is important to the ongoing operations of
the City. The station is in good physical and structural condition and with some upgrades
can continue to serve the community well into the future. Upgrades to other stations or
additional station facilities could alleviate many of the burdens placed on this facility to act
as the headquarters for community outreach and mutual aid for the department , as well
as the main administrative function for firefighters.
FIRE STATION #2-2400 EAST MCCARTY ST.
This station continues to provide service but is short of adequate facilities based on the
needs expressed by the Fire Department. While additions and renovations can be made
to upgrade it , the cost for those should be weighed against the current age and overall
value of the building in comparison to replacing the building. The current state of the
construction allows for raising the height of the apparatus bays but would be impractical
noting the overall cost and subsequent value of the improvements .
The goal of upgrades would be to update the building for all current building code
considerations and consideration of future growth so the building can function as a fire
station that can serve the city best into the future.
FIRE STATION #3-2104 INDUSTRIAL DRIVE
This station continues to provide service but is short of adequate facilities based on the
needs expressed by the Fire Department.
It is our understanding that this facility has been identified for replacement in the near
future . Until a new facility is completed the City should consider mainly the life and health
safety issues as well as current physical concerns . Roof leak damage and the interior
environmental concerns that may have resulted from the leaks should be addressed
quickly to limit future damage that may hinder operations. Upgrades to finishes should
be weighed against cost noting the planned future of the facility .
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 40
FIRE STATION #4-820 ELLIS BLVD.
This station continues to provide service but is short of adequate facilities based on the
needs expressed by the Fire Department. While additions and renovations can be made
to upgrade it , the cost for those should be weighed against the current age and overall
value of the building in comparison to replacing the building in consideration of the years
of service that it may continue to provide if renovated. The current structure does not allow
for raising the height of the apparatus bays without having an overall effect on the rest of
the structure due to current building code requirements .
The goal of upgrades would be to update the building for all current building code
considerations and consideration of future growth so the building can function as a fire
station that can serve the city best into the future .
FIRE STATION #5-1005 FAIRGROUNDS ROAD
An upgrade of this station is important to the ongoing operations of the City. The station
is in good physical condition and can easily be added onto if required. The materials on
the exterior of the building are in need of repairs. The Roofing has outlived its expected
life and the vinyl siding and soffits should be repaired or replaced in order to maintain the
exterior envelope of the building . A small addition to this facility can further enhance its
capabilities and HVAC upgrades should be considered in order to provide the best possible
interior environment.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 41
CONSIDERATION FOR FUTURE BIDDING AND CONSTRUCTION:
Where considerations for additions and renovations are warranted we recommend that
the City review the potential financial advantages that can be realized from designing and
bidding multiple projects together .
Cost savings will come not only from volume efforts in material purchase by the contractor
but from reduced time expended by City Staff and reduced expenses by consolidating
bidding processes such as printing and advertising for public bid.
In some cases where modular concepts can be developed time can be saved by the
designers due to repeating single concepts into more than one project. This of course
relates more specifically to design for new construction however there are possible time
savings that can be garnered by combining the design efforts.
It is important to consider activities related to the actual construction and the necessity to
keep Fire Stations functional during the period of construction . Additional consideration
should be given to appropriate phasing of a project related to emergency services. By
considering all of the projects at the same time it is possible to better plan for coverage of
emergency operations by the department and the overall effects of combining the project to
schedule appropriate operation considerations for relocation of apparatus and personnel.
City of Jefferson, Missouri Fire Station Study and Report 42
COST AND VALUE ESTIMATE BUDGETING
The budget numbers listed on the following pages represent costs based utilizing values
of recently constructed similar projects and are based on cost per square foot.
It is important in consideration of budgeting for future activities that consideration is given
to estimating contingencies for unforeseen conditions that can be encountered during
a renovation and departmental costs that may be associated with the management of
construction activities. These costs are not contained within the following estimates.
In consideration of cost for renovations to Fire station facilities there can be issues
associated with down time and potential relocation of the operations during a renovation.
Plans should be made and phasing properly considered to minimize the need for expensive
relocation efforts to keep the department operational during construction. These are
activities and costs that are not associated with Station replacement and should be
considered in judging the decision to renovate and expand a station versus the decision
to replace an aging station.
In judging the existing value of the fire stations this report does not purport to lessen the
importance of any of the given structures. The value of having a fire station in service can
not be adequately measured due to its importance within the community.
Existing valuations are based Means cost data and supporting Owner provided information
regarding insured values of the properties. They are given to show the relative value of
new construction and necessary repairs so that prudent decisions can be made regarding
the need for repair, renovation and addition can be evaluated and measured .
