RE: Public Hearing: 2013 — 2014 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP)
The 2013 -2014 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is scheduled for a Board of Supervisors
Public Hearing on January 23, 2013, Staff is seeking endorsement by the Board
following the Public Hearing.
The Planning Commission reviewed the CIF at their meeting on January 2, 2013, held a
public hearing, and affirmed that the 2013 -2014 CIP is in conformance with the 2030
Comprehensive Policy Plan. As part of their deliberations, the Commission recognized
that their review and endorsement was primarily for the facilities and physical
improvements, rather than the estimated values provided for each project. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the 2013 -2014 Capital Improvement Plan.
Previously, on November 19, 2012, the Comprehensive Plans and Programs Committee
(CPPC) Executive Committee met with County Department and Agency representatives
to discuss their individual capital improvement project requests, including new projects
and modifications to previous requests, associated with the 2013 -2014 Capital
improvements Plan (CIP).
The role of the CPPC in the CIP process was to ensure that the various departmental
project requests are in conformance with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan.
Following the CPPC discussion, the CPPC endorsed the 2013 -2014 CIP and endorsed its
conformance with the County's Comprehensive Policy Plan. The CPPC forwarded the
CIP to the Planning Commission for discussion.

Public Hearing: 2013 -2014 CIP
January 15, 2013
Page 2
Both the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors considered the proposed 2013-
2014 Capital Improvements Plan as a discussion item prior to the CIP's advertisement for
public hearing. The discussion of both bodies expressed general support of the 2013-
2014 CIP.
This year's CIP focuses once again on enhancing the connection between. the CIP and
potential proffered contributions made with rezoning projects. The connection between
the CIP and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, and the Area Plans, is also reinforced. This
effort is highlighted through the effort of the Parks and Recreation Department and their
identification of their comprehensively planned parks, and an advanced project which
promotes the Abrams Creek Greenway Trail. The CIP projects are generally reflective of
the current economic climate and with the life cycle costs of facilities in mind.
Please find attached with this agenda item the Draft 2013 -2014 CIP which includes: a
summary of the proposed 2013 -2014 CIP in table form, and a draft copy of the proposed
2013 -2014 CIP maps illustrating the known locations of the CIP requests. More detailed
information regarding the individual department requests is available digitally and may
be forwarded to you directly if requested.
If adopted, the CIP and included maps will ultimately become a component of the
Comprehensive Policy Plan, which would satisfy the review requirement of Section 15,2-
2232 of the Code of Virginia, which states that no public facility shall be constructed
unless said facility is a "feature shown" within a jurisdiction's comprehensive plan.
Please contact the Planning Department should you have any questions regarding this
information.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
FREDERICK COUNTY
2013-2014
MRODi; CTIION
Section 15.2 -2239 of the Code of Virginia assigns the responsibility for preparation of
plans for capital outlays to the local Planning Commissions. The Capital Improvements
Plan (CIP) consists of a schedule for major capital expenditures for the county for the
ensuing five years.
The CIP is updated annually. Projects are removed from the plans as they are completed
or as priorities change. The plan is intended to assist the Board of Supervisors in
preparation of the county budget. In addition to determining priorities for capital
expenditures, the county must also ensure that projects contained within the CIP conform
to the Comprehensive Policy Plan. Specifically, the projects are reviewed with
considerations regarding health, safety, and the general welfare of the public, and the
policies of the Comprehensive Plan. When the CIP is adopted, it becomes a component
of the Comprehensive Plan. Frederick County approved the 2030 Comprehensive Plan on
July 3, 2011.
The CIF is strictly advisory; it is intended for use as a capital facilities planning
document, not for requesting funding allocations. Once adopted, project priorities may
change throughout the year based on changing circumstances, It is also possible that
particular projects may not be funded during the year that is indicated in the CIP. The
status of any project becomes increasingly uncertain the further in the future it is
projected.
Transportation projects are included in the CIP. The inclusion of transportation projects
to the CIP is in no way an indication that Frederick County will be independently
undertaking these projects. Funding projects will continue to come from a combination of
state and federal funds, developer contributions, and revenue sharing.
The 2013 -2014 CIP continues to emphasize the connection between the CIP,
Comprehensive Plan, and potential proffered contributions made with future rezoning
projects. This effort continues to be reinforced through the effort of the Parks and
Recreation Department and their identification of their comprehensively planned parks
including community, neighborhood, and district parks.
Frederick County Public Schools
Frederick County Public Schools continue to commence and complete capital projects
that have been priorities from previous years. The James Wood Middle School parking
lot safety enhancements, a project done in conjunction with the City of Winchester to
address several traffic safety concerns identified in the vicinity of James Wood Middle
School over the years, has recently been completed and has therefore been removed from
this year's CIP. Previously removed, and soon to be opened, is the new transportation
facility located adjacent to Armel Elementary School. The facility will house
administration, driver training areas, driver and staff meeting areas, mechanical service
and repair bays, inspection bay, wash bay, and fueling bays.
The school renovations proposed to prepare school facilities for an all day Kindergarten
program have moved off the CIP as they have been programmed to be funded and
initiated. The CIP has been reflected accordingly. It should be recognized that the all day
kindergarten program had been delayed for several years in light of the recent fiscal
climate so it is very positive to see the all day kindergarten program progress through the
joint efforts of Frederick County Public Schools and the Board of Supervisors.
The Replacement of Frederick County Middle School is the School's top Capital
improvement priority with the construction of the County's fourth High School the
second highest priority. The new high school and both a replacement and new middle
school have been requested in anticipation of the future demand of a growing student
population. Previously, the Sherando High School Parking Lot Improvement project was
combined with softball field improvements at the school.
A new project, an addition and renovations to Indian Hollow Elementary School, is
proposed. Indian Hollow Elementary School opened in 1958 and is the County's smallest
elementary school building with a program capacity of 492 students. Renovations to the
existing portion of the building will address several major issues, including classroom
storage, ADA compliance, energy conservation, security, and upgrades of fire alarm,
electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. A building addition will be needed to
maintain program capacity. This year's CIP continues to include a request to renovate
and expand the current administration building on Amherst Street.
In an effort to maintain educational facilities that will handle the growing student
population, the construction of two new elementary schools is recommended within the
UDA (Urban Development Area). However, the timeframe for these facilities has been
extended out several years.
2
Parks & Recreation
Baseball field lighting at both Clearbrook and Sherando Parks is the number one capital
improvement priority for Parks and Recreation.
Last year for the first time, the CIP reflected the desire to provide Fleet Trip vehicles to
further the progr of the Department. The Fleet Vehicles remain a high priority in
order to offer a comprehensive package of trips to the population of Frederick County.
Swimming improvements continue to be a focus for Parks and Recreation. The upgrade
of pool amenities at the swimming pools at both parks will include the addition of water
slides and a spray ground. This project is expected to increase pool attendance by 30
percent while providing recreational opportunities for both the Sherando and Clearbrook
Park service areas. The indoor aquatic facility continues to be proposed as a high priority
of the Parks and Recreation Department, with modifications to the scope of the project
aimed at providing flexibility in its design.
The Parks and Recreation Department has proposed to acquire land in both the eastern
and western portions of the county for the development of future regional park system.
Both land acquisitions call for 150 -200 acres of land to accommodate the recreational
needs of the growing population.
The effort of the Parks and Recreation Department and their identification of their
comprehensively planned parks including community, neighborhood, and district parks,
further emphasizes the connection between the CIP, Comprehensive Plan, and potential
proffered contributions made with rezoning projects.
The majority of the recommended projects are planned for the county's two regional
parks (Sherando & Clearbrook). Projects planned for Sherando Park include: upgrade of
baseball lighting, upgrade pool amenities, a softball complex, a soccer complex,
maintenance compound and office, skateboard park, parking and multi - purpose fields
with trail development, picnic area with a shelter, and an access road with parking and
trails. The projects planned for the Clearbrook Park include, upgrade of baseball lighting,
upgrading pool amenities, a new open play area, a tennis/basketball complex, and shelter
with an area for stage seating.
A project that has moved up in priority for Parks and Recreation is the Abrams Creek
Greenway Trail. This capital project was first recognized in last year's CIP. This facility
would provide recreational opportunities for residents of this corridor along with the
surrounding communities and was emphasized in the Senseny/Eastern Frederick Urban
Areas Plan completed during 2012. This project will provide trails with bicycle, walking
and joggings opportunities, which ranks ##1 in the 2007 Virginia Outdoors Plan survey for
all outdoor recreational activities.
3
Handley Regional Library
The Handley Regional Library continues to recommend four projects, consistent with
their 2011 -2012 requests. The library's top priority is a parking lot sidewalk extension
promoting sidewalk access at the Bowman Library as phase 2 of the parking lot
expansion project. The parking lot expansion component of the project was completed
during 2011. The library wishes to extend the sidewalks to serve residents traveling from
the east to Lakeside Drive.
The three remaining projects request that funding be provided for new library branches
throughout the county which include the areas of Gainesboro, Senseny /Greenwood Road,
and Route 522 South, with the latter two being located within the UDA (Urban
Development Area).
Transportation Committee
The Transportation Committee continues to provide project requests for the CIP.
Virginia State Code allows for transportation projects to be included within a locality's
CIP. Funding for transportation project requests will likely come from developers and
revenue sharing. Implementation of transportation projects does not take away funding
for generalized road improvements.
The Transportation Committee has requested funding for fifteen projects. The fifteen
requests include projects that entail widening of major roads; key extensions of roads that
help provide better networks, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and the addition of
turn lanes at current unsafe intersections. The relocation of the Senseny Road bicycle
and pedestrian improvements and the Eastern Road Plan are recent additions to the CIP,
added in 2010 -2011. The inclusion of the Eastern Road Plan Improvements item once
again emphasizes the connection between the CIP and potential proffered contributions
made with rezoning projects which are aimed at mitigating potential transportation
impacts identified in the Comprehensive Plan.
The one new transportation project in this year's CIP is the Route 277 Widening and
Safety Improvement project. Ranked number five, the project identifies the construction
of a 4 -lane divided roadway beginning at 1 -81 and continuing to Sherando Park. The
project would include the realignment of Aylor Road to align with Stickley Drive. This is
a regional transportation improvement that will address congestion in the Southern
Frederick area and address development to the surrounding areas.
Winchester Regional Airport
Funding for airport projects is derived through a complex formula where the federal and
state governments contribute a majority of the funding, with Frederick County and the
other jurisdictions providing the remaining funding.
0
The Airport has recently completed a major improvement of their runway. With this
project moving from the CIP, The Airport Authority is now focusing their CIP efforts on
Taxi way improvements and Property acquisition in support of airport development to
meet Federal Aviation requirements for general aviation facilities. The vast majority of
the funding for these improvements came from the FAA and VDA.
The number one priority for the Airport is the construction of a Maintenance Facility.
The construction of a new general aviation terminal to support fixture airport operations
and associated parking improvements is a project that was added to last year's CIP and
remains in this years. A new project for the airport is the Fuel Storage Facility.
The number of projects that are included in this CIP has been consolidated over last year
as the Airport Authority is further aligning the County's CIP with the one provided to the
Virginia Department of Aviation,
County Administration.
With the Gainesboro citizen convenience center project moving forward, the number one
priority is a new facility proposed as a replacement for the Albin Convenience site. The
other request is for the expansion/relocation of the Gore Refuse Site to allow for a trash
compactor, which will reduce operational costs, by compacting trash before it reaches the
landfill.
Previously, an item was added to enhance the connection between, the CIP and proffered
contributions made to mitigate the impacts of development projects is an item that
addresses general government capital expenditures that may fall below the established
$100,000 departmental threshold. This is similar to the approach previously taken for Fire
and Rescue Capital Equipment. The structure of the County Administration section of the
CIP has been modified and no longer includes Fire and Rescue. Fire and Rescue has its
own section which is as follows.
Fire and Rescue
The top project for the Fire and Rescue component remains the creation of Fire & Rescue
Station 422 in the vicinity of Route 277, with the ability to provide an annex facility for
other county related offices. The collaboration of this project with other community
users and a land use planning effort was a key element of the Route 277 Land Use Plan.
Fire and Rescue has also included a project which provides for the capital apparatus
needs of this facility.
Fire & Rescue has once again requested the relocation of two current fire stations in order
to operate more efficiently, Round Hill and Cleaxbrook. Three newer projects for Fire
and Rescue are the creation of Station #23, a new facility located in the vicinity of
Crosspointe, the creation of Station #24 in the vicinity of Cross Junction/Lake Holiday,
and a Fire & Rescue Regional Training Center. Such a Regional Public Safety Training
0
Center potentially consisting of an administrative building, multi -story burn building,
multi -story training tower, vehicle driving range, shooting range, and numerous other
training props. This project will incorporate emergency medical services, fire, hazardous
materials, rescue, law enforcement, industrial, and educational institutions located within
the region.
Fire and Rescue Volunteer Company Capital Equipment Requests
Previously, a project consisting of a revolving fund in the amount of $1,000,000 for the
benefit of Fire and Rescue Services was established. It is the intention of this capital
expenditure fund to be for the purpose of purchasing additional and replacement capital
equipment fire and rescue vehicles and equipment that may fall below the guidelines
established by the Finance Committee. It was determined that the inclusion of such a
project would be beneficial in ensuring that this significant capital expense is identified in
the County's capital planning and budget process. This project is primarily for the
benefit of the individual Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies.
The individual Fire and Rescue Companies have identified their own Capital Requests
which have been added to the CIP in no particular order. Most of the Capital requests
meet the $100,000 guideline established by the Finance Committee. Those requests that
do not meet this guideline have been noted and therefore relate to the Fire & Rescue
Capital Equipment project category.

The projects included in the 2013 -2014 Capital Improvements Plan have a total project
cost to the county of $923,531,936. While the CIP is primarily used to cover the next five
years, much of the project costs have been identified beyond the next five years.
• School projects are funded through a combination of loans from the
Virginia Public School Authority and the Virginia Literary Fund.
• Funding for Parks and Recreation Department projects will come from the
unreserved fund balance of the County. The Parks and Recreation
Commission will actively seek grants and private sources of funding for
projects not funded by the county.
• Airport projects will be funded by contributions from the federal, state,
and local governments. The local portion may include contributions from
Frederick, Clarke, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties, and the City of
Winchester.
• The inclusion of transportation projects to the CIP is in no way an
indication that Frederick County will be independently undertaking these
projects. Funding projects will continue to come from a combination of
state and federal funds, developer contributions, and revenue sharing.

PRIORITY 5
Sherando High School Parking Lot and Softball Field Improvements
Description: This project is being undertaken to address several traffic safety concerns
identified at Sherando High School over the years and equity issues (there is no softball
field at SHS). Traffic safety concerns have reached a level that we have completed two
studies of the site. Concerns exist for pedestrians, school buses, student drivers, parents,
and staff. Rearrangement of the site and the flow of traffic on the site is necessary to
address these needs.
24
Capital Cost: TBD
Justification: This is a two -part project. For transportation safety, concerns exist on the
school site at Sherando High School during arrival and dismissal. The students, many of
their parents, and the staff necessary to serve them are exposed to these safety concerns
on a daily basis. The flow of traffic at arrival is so slow that at times vehicles back up
past Double Church Road. For the softball field, SHS does not have a softball field
onsite, instead using a softball field in neighboring Sherando Park. This represents an
equity issue between boys and girls sports. FCPS strives to attain equity between boys
and girls sports. Additionally, this is a Title IX issue.
Construction Schedule: 30 Months
PRIORITY 6

been added to help address the need for additional space. The expansion and renovation
will address the need for office and meeting space, will take advantage of advances in
technology, and will provide mechanical, plumbing and electrical wiring to code.
Capital Cost: $TBD
Justification: The expansion will address the need for office & meeting space, will take
advantage of advances in technology, and will update 50 -year -old mechanical, plumbing
and electrical wiring to code. Meeting space is at a premium, as we have only 2 sizeable
meeting spaces. Electrical wiring is a safety issue, as existing circuits and outlets in
overcrowded areas of the building are overloaded. All of these issues will continue to
expand as the district and therefore the staff grows. Other issues to be addressed include
building security, vehicular safety entering and exiting Amherst Street, conflicts between
vehicles and pedestrian traffic in the parking lot, and asbestos.

Frederick County school system. To reduce the gap between the number of existing
soccer fields and the number of fields which are needed to meet the minimum standard
for our service area. Sherando Park, currently owned by Frederick County, represents the
very best location for soccer field development. The fact that the county will not have to
acquire property for this facility means that the most costly aspect of this development
has already been completed. Sherando Park also provides a location that is situated in
the fastest growing area of the county and is adjacent to the new county high school.
With joint use of facilities between the park and school system, the construction of
additional soccer fields will benefit both agencies.

Handley Regional Library Project Priority List
PRIORITY 1
Bowman Library Parking Lot and Sidewalk Extension
Description: The parking lot addition is nearly completed. Phase 2, a sidewalk at
Bowman Library, has been revised to reflect Frederick County's emphasis on complete
streets. A 10 -foot -wide, 640 - linear -foot shared use path will provide a safe means for
people to reach Bowman Library by foot or bicycle from Lakeside Drive.
Capital Cast: $42,880
35
Justification: In 2010/2011, 135,532 individuals entered the Bowman Library. The
Library serves all age groups from very young children to senior citizens and provides
recreational and education materials for them. The library is a favorite location for
families to visit together and serves many children and adults when they are working on
school assignments or self- improvement. The library supplies computer access for word
processing and other office applications and for Internet usage. The Bowman Library has
proved very popular with children and families. Children from the Lakeside Drive side
of the Library often bicycle or walk to the library. If they bicycle, they ride on Tasker
Road where the traffic often goes faster than the 45 mph speed limit. If they walk, they
can walk across the field between the library and Lakeside Drive, and many children
jump the drainage ditch, rather than walk to the corner where it is easy to get across.
Mothers, who want to walk, complain they have to walk on Tasker Road, where there is
no sidewalk, when they have children in strollers. There is a bicycle rack near the
entrance to the library.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY13 -14 (3 -6 Months)
Northern Frederick County -- Gainesboro Library Branch
Description: Construction of a 7,000 to 10,000 sq.ft. branch library. Initial parking
should be for at least 50 vehicles. The proposed location would be on Rt. 522 in the
Gainesboro district, but this could change depending on patterns of library use and on
whether donated land could be located. The acquisition of the land of 3 to 4 acres would
be in fiscal year 2013/2014. There is discussion of a possible reuse of the old Gainesboro
School as a library branch, but this is a decision to be made by the Board of Supervisors
after further study. Handley Regional Library currently has used furniture and shelving
stockpiled at the old school with almost enough capacity (except for books and
equipment) to open and run a library. It would be a mish mash of styles and colors but
would be enough to function. If the Board of Supervisors decides the most cost - effective
choice is to demolish the old school, the land could be a possible site for a new library
building.
Capital Cost: $2,279,575
Justification: This branch would serve citizens living in this growing area. In 2010-
2011 Frederick County citizens of all ages checked out 481,244 items. 38,321 Frederick
County residents have library cards and averaged 63.1 % of all materials checked out of

New General Aviation Terminal Construction
Description: The Winchester Regional Airport proposes to construct a new general
aviation terminal building. The new facility will be constructed in a new location slightly
east of the existing terminal building.
Capital Cost: $2,500,000
Justification: Since its opening in the early 1990s, the general aviation terminal building for
the Winchester Regional Airport has had only limited interior work completed. Interior
repairs are necessary due to extensive usage and some damage from water leaking from the
roof prior to its replacement in the Spring of 2006 by necessity. The heating and cooling
systems are approaching 25 years in age and are nearing the end of their useful life. The
exterior of the terminal building is made from Drivet that has failed in many areas and is
generally in fair to poor condition. In addition, the windows are not energy efficient and
several of the window seals have failed. In 2005, a study was completed to examine needs
and costs to renovate the existing terminal building. After review of the study, the WRAA
determined it would be more economical to build a new energy efficient building slightly east
of the existing terminal. The proposed location of the project will allow enough room to build
out a new transient apron during the taxiway relocation project.

Albin Convenience Site Relocation
Description: The relocation of the Albin citizens' convenience site to property located
within the Sunnyside /Albin community is planned for the FY 14/15. Design work will be
completed in FY 13/14. A fenced, two -acre site will be constructed along North
Frederick Pike on county -owned property in close proximity to the existing site located
on Indian Hollow Road, ideally on a portion of the current FCPS bus garage property.
This project will require several months to complete and include fencing, earthwork,
retaining wall, electric, equipment, lighting, paving and landscaping.
Capital Cost: $374,850
Justification: During August of 2011 a total of 13,343 residents visited the Albin
facility, according to a site survey. The refuse site serves a geographic area extending
from Sunnyside and the Cedar Creek Grade westward to Gainesboro. The total number of
vehicles using the site, an average of 513 a day, increased by 11 percent between 2008
and 2010. The latest figure represents another 24 percent increase over the previous year.
Weekends are the busiest at Albin when up to 550 residents use the facility on Saturdays.
As trash disposal and the resulting traffic continue to increase at the facility, the present
infrastructure will be unable to safely handle the burden_ During the holidays, the site
requires two site attendants in order to move traffic as quickly as possible. However, lines
still back out onto Indian Hollow Road, a hazard noted several times by the Sheriff's
Office. For residents living between Cedar Creek Grade and Apple Pie Ridge, curbside
pickup is expensive, prompting heavy utilization of the convenience center which attracts
a mix of users from the suburbs and rural community. It is also becoming obviously that
residents in the Gainesboro area are foregoing that facility in favor of the Albin location.
Transient university students from the townhouse community also utilize the recycling
facilities.
Construction Schedule: Start in FY 14 -15
PRIG ITY 2
Gore Refuse Site Relocation/Expansion
Description: The project will expand refuse collection capacity in the Gore community
by installing a surplus trash compactor. With the relocation of the Gainesboro and Albin
sites and purchase of new equipment, there will be an available compactor. Installation of
a compactor at Gore will drive down collection costs at the site where trash is now
collected in 10 8 -yard boxes. In order to accomplish this, and account for improved
traffic flow and the construction of necessary concrete walls, the site will be expanded
onto an adjoining parcel owned by the county.
Capital Cost: $225,350
Justification: This project would also provide much- needed capacity during heavy flow
times such as weekends and holidays. All 10 containers now on site fill to capacity during
Saturday afternoons and during the Sunday shift when up to 189 vehicles visit the
19,
facility. A 40 -yard roll -off is placed at the site during the Christmas holidays to provide
for increased trash generation. An upgraded site would meet the future solid waste
demands of a growing community.
Construction Schedule: Start in FY 15 -16
PRIORITY 3
General Government Capital Expenditures
Description: This new project consists of a revolving fluid in the amount of $1,000,000
for the benefit of General Governmental Capital Expenditures. It is the intention of this
capital expenditure fund to be for the purpose of purchasing capital equipment for
governmental agencies and to allow for improvements to general governmental facilities.
Such expenditures may be less than the established $100,000 departmental threshold. It
was determined that the inclusion of such a project would be beneficial in ensuring that
this significant capital expense is identified in the County's capital planning and budget
process. This project is for the benefit of the County Governmental Entities participating
in the CIP but does not include individual Volunteer Fire and Rescue Companies.
Capital Cost: $1,000,000
Justification: The inclusion of this capital expenditure fund for the purpose of
purchasing capital equipment for governmental agencies and to allow for improvements
to general governmental facilities will enable the County to meet the requirements of the
Code of Virginia with regards to the collection and disbursement of cash proffers
accepted on behalf of the governmental entities.

easy access to Interstate 81 North and South at the 310 Exit. Access and response on Rt.
37 will be greatly enhanced from 181 to Route 50 West in the Northbound Lane.
Currently Stephens City and Round Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company's serve the
area. This location also provides easy access to Rt. 11 and the Kernstown area along with
access to Middle Road and Subdivisions of Brookneil, Stonebrook, and Jacksons Woods.
These subdivisions have large single family homes in an area of Frederick County
outside of the UDA. Water supplies are scarce in these areas and a rapid response from
this proposed facility will likely reduce property damage from fire and response times for
Medical Emergencies. Major collector roads such as Tasker Road and Warrior Drive
along with the proposed extension of Rt. 37 and new roadways in the development will
provide quick access to additional homes and businesses in areas including Front Royal
Pike, Papermill Road. These roadway construction efforts will provide for an increased
level of quality emergency service to the citizens in this entire area.
Construction Schedule: To be determined.
PRIORITY 4
Fire & Rescue Regional Training Center
Description: Construct a Regional Public Safety Training Center potentially consisting
of an administrative building, multi -story burn building, multi -story training tower,
vehicle driving range, shooting range, and numerous other training props. This project
will incorporate emergency medical services, fire, hazardous materials, rescue, law
enforcement, industrial, and educational institutions located in Clarke County, Frederick
County, Shenandoah County, Warren County, Winchester City, State Agencies, Federal
Agencies, and potentially jurisdictions within the State of West Virginia.
Capital Cost: $31,175,000
Justification: This project will facilitate realistic training in today's modern environment
for emergency services and industrial personnel located throughout the Northern
Shenandoah Valley and expanding into the State of West Virginia. This project will
reinforce existing training programs in those respective agencies and jurisdictions as well
as facilitate training that is currently not available within the Northern Shenandoah
52
Valley which causes students and instructors to travel into the Washington Metropolitan
region. The number of potential personnel being trained at this Training Center is
potentially in the thousands based upon training statistics provided in July 2007 by the
participating agencies.
Construction Schedule: Completion in FY 17 -18
PRIORITY 5
Fire and Rescue Station ( #24) Relocation
Description: Construct a three (3) bay fire and rescue station with satellite County
Offices. This station is intended to be located on or near Redland Road in the area of
Lake Holiday either at a site provided by Lake Holiday or other tract in the vicinity. An
approximate three to four acre site is necessary for a 10,000 square foot facility, to house
a fire engine, and ambulance and rescue boat.
Capital Cost: $3,750,000
Justification: The Lake Holiday Development is scheduled to have a final build -out of
2800 single family homes.
Construction Schedule: To be determined
PRIORITY 6
Round Hill Fire and Rescue Station ( #I5) Relocation
Description: The new station RHCFRC plans to build will be a 17,801 A, fully NFPA-
compliant, single- story, pre - engineered structure with 4 double drive -thru bays and 14'
clearances. The bays will take up 5,340 sf and include a turnout gear alcove for 50
lockers, laundry room, tool shop and store rooms. The bays will be able to accommodate
modern -sized apparatus, including a ladder truck, and will give the company ample room
for future expansion. The drive -thru design will reduce the possibility of backing
accidents, as well as ease the flow of apparatus into and out of the station. The bays will
be equipped with spot drains for each vehicle to minimize slip- and -fall accidents. In
2006, a site inventory by Stewart Cooper Newell Architects identified more than 10
features of RHCFRC's station not in compliance with NFPA standards. Perhaps the most
serious is the lack of proper separation between sleeping and vehicles spaces. The men's
bunkroom door opens directly into the bays. Combined with inadequate hazardous
exhaust controls, this creates serious safety concerns for those sleeping inside. This
facility will also be able to accommodate living and sleeping quarters. A community
center is also planned with this project and will be approximately 10,000 sq. ft.
accommodating 400 persons for holding fundraising events. The entire project will be
relocated to an area of 3 to 5 acres.
Capital Cost: $4,281,696
Justification: The operational section of RHCFRC's present station is a brick - and -block
structure of approximately 2,277 square feet built in 1954. A wing of pre-engineered and
block construction was added in 1981 to increase office and public space. Today, the
station is no longer adequate to house the company's 30 firefighters and 8 vehicles in a
safe and efficient manner. The operating space is unsafe and cramped, and limits the
53
services that can be provided to a growing community. First due population for the 2000
ceases was 8,089. The continued growth in the area has brought additional commercial.
development (Walmart, hotels, and planned development by the hospital, shopping and
restaurants). The area includes a high school and elementary school.
Construction Schedule: To be determined
PRIORITY 7
Clear Brook Fire and Rescue Station ( #13) Relocation
Description: A new facility is proposed to be built on our current property, take down
the current building and extend our parking. The building is to be six (6) drive through
bays, administration, eating and sleeping facilities along with a dining hall. The
estimated size of the structure is to be approximately 28,000 square feet.
Capital Cost: $4,396,000
Justification: At the current time we have outgrown our facility and with the equipment
that we have to provide the service to our community for property and health protection
and with the staffing needs and fund raising operations our current facility is in need of
upgrading /updating.
Construction Schedule: To be determined
