The City Commission approved the advertising of the bid documents for the construction of the new Taylor Mill fire station this week. The fire station will be built on the vacant lots adjacent to city hall. These two lots were purchased in 2009 by the City Commission at the time to build an entire new city complex including a new city hall, public works, police station and fire station. Those plans never came to fruition.

The bid packet will be advertised online at LINKNKY. Bids are due to the city by 3pm, Friday, April 26. Bids will be opened, and the city’s Construction Administrators will then take the bids and review them for completeness, accuracy, and adherence to the bid instructions. A recommendation, along with the bids will then be sent to the city commissioners for their review. The chosen bid will be awarded at the regular monthly city commission meeting, May 8^th, 2024.

Construction will begin as soon as the contract with the winning bidder is signed, and all preliminary necessities are completed. The project is expected to take 12 months to complete.
