GROCERY, D2 Jeremy Duda HERALD DAILY KINDY500 A month after Genola rejected two bids for its new fire station, the project is back on track. The Town Council awarded the project to Wright Masonry & Sons and Ray Zeeman Construction, which submitted a $825,000 bid. The other bid, by Kay Construction, was just $4,000 higher. Both companies submitted bids in February, but the council rejected them as too high. The previous bids were around $1 million. To get the cost of the project down, the council removed several items from the building plans. The main changes that knocked the price down by nearly $200,000 were changing the metal roof to shingles, switching the parking lot from asphalt to road base, and delaying the purchase of a generator for the building. "We just kind of took the frills off of it," said Fire Chief Greg Smith. "We're still getting the same building." Genola's volunteer fire department is currently housed in an old equipment building with just one door. It parks its two fire trucks outside because there is no indoor space. Smith said the new building will include an office, classrooms and more space. He is hoping it will be a valuable tool for recruiting new members. After the council rejected the earlier bids, Mayor Eric Hazelet said he hoped to get the cost down to about $700,000, but said Thursday that $800,000 is still within Genola's See FIRE STATION, X7T : ;y:;.
