Espanola council has amended its request for proposal, commonly called an RFP, for the building of a new fire hall.
Council originally put together the RFP at the sub-committee level to include three bays, not four, and not to retain a pumper truck.
However, following a presentation by the fire department deputy chief and member of the local fire association last night and the new information they provided, council has amended the bylaw.
At this time, 341 properties do not have hydrant service and there has been new construction over the last few years, including 31 new residences, six commercial, one industrial and one institutional build.
Council agreed to amend the bylaw that tenders should include proposals for the design of a three bay and a four bay fire hall so an informed decision can be made on the final design.
