Background: In order to keep pace with the City's growth (ranked 7th within FL), PSLPD is in need of a Training Facility. Of the top 15 populated cities in FL, PSLPD is the only agency without a training facility (nor a shooting range). Currently, any in-house training provided to sworn personnel is limited by space or has to be done in Fort Pierce at the IRSC complex based on advanced scheduling for firearms qualification. The proposed facility is estimated at 14,400 square feet and constructed of CBS poured concrete (CAT 5) building. It will also incorporate a Shooting Range (80' wide with 20 lane tactical 50-yard range). The Range will also include an HVAC system to meet/exceed all National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Rifle Association (NRA) range & lead safety standards. Also, for future growth, it is recommended that the facility be constructed with additional flooring/space.
Issues/Analysis: On February 28, 2022, City Council approved Legistar Item #2022-181 (Approve Shortlisted Firms and Begin Negotiations for the Request for Proposals (eRFP) #20220023 for Professional Services for a Design Criteria Package for the Police Training Facility). Staff held negotiation meetings with CPZ Architects, Inc. and staff determined that their fees were fair and reasonable.
Financial Information: The funds are appropriated in CIP General Fund for Police / Law Enforcement / Buildings (#301-2105-562000-00000).
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: 121 SW Port St. Lucie Blvd., Port St. Lucie, FL 34984 City Hall Municipal Complex, directly northwest of the main police building (Building C), located on lots 6-10. These lots run parallel to SW Thanksgiving Ave.
