Pendleton awarded $2.5 million grant for Fire Station 2
Grant will allow for earthquake preparedness at aging station
Business Oregon has awarded Pendleton Fire & Ambulance a grant for just under $2.5 million for seismic rehabilitation of Fire State 2. Opened in 1972, Fire Station 2 is staffed with firefighter paramedics 24/7 and serves the south side of the fire and ambulance districts. It is the oldest fire station used by Pendleton Fire & Ambulance.
Business Oregon manages the state’s Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, which is designed to prepare and strengthen public services buildings against earthquakes. Through the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program, Business Oregon awarded close to $90 million to support seismic safety for emergency services buildings and schools across the Oregon. The competitive grant program received more than 100 applications requesting almost $240 million in funding this year.
Fire Chief Anthony Pierotti said the grant will remodel Fire Station 2 to meet earthquake preparedness requirements, but, If possible, he would like to use the renovation as an opportunity to bring the 52-year-old station up to other standards.

Project Milestones
Pendleton City Council approves CB Construction, Inc as the CM/GC as the contractor for the Seismic Grant upgrade for Fire Station 2. The evaluation committee for the CM/GC RFP used a Rubric and scoring sheet to evaluate each construction company that applied for the CM/GC RFP. They were evaluated on 7 topics: Cover letter, company overview, similar project history, project approach, safety and communication, staffing qualifications, and fees. The committee, based on scoring, recommended we use CB construction.
