Submitted by paula on Mon, 01/25/2021 - 2:24pm
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Bids are currently being sought for the remodel project at the new home of the California Tahoe Emergency Services Operations Authority (CalTahoe) in South Lake Tahoe. They have been without a permanent home since early 2020 when South lake Tahoe Fire Rescue took back its Station 2 for fire and medic operations.
CalTahoe has been serving the South Shore with ambulance service as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) since 2001. After the fire department moved trucks into Station 2, the Cal Tahoe JPA has been renting homes in South Lake Tahoe for their base of operations as they continued their search for a new place to house staff and ambulances. They are currently housed in a home near Heavenly Mountain Resort. The City of South Lake Tahoe is giving them free use of the old jail at 3066 Lake Tahoe Boulevard. The South Lake Tahoe Chamber moved into the old jail, followed by the Lake Tahoe Visitor's Authority. To be able to house the ambulances and staff this building needs to be remodeled.
The remodel project is now posted for bid with a due date of 02/22/2021.
The Scope
Intent is to renovate a portion of an existing CMU block building that was the previous jail into living quarters for local Paramedic Company. Project encompasses a 1851 Sq.Ft. space that would convert five cells into sleeping rooms; add two new bathroom/ shower rooms, a 1/2 bath, a new kitchen/ dining area and a decontamination room to be utilized by paramedics upon return from a call. Minimal demolition of non bearing walls, existing MEP shall be completed. All new plumbing, heating and electrical shall be included in scope of work. Requesting that all contractors provide two bids- one for the original project scope and one for the alternate scope.
