Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Station 9 Temporarily Relocated During Construction

On January 6, 2015, The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) Fire Station 9 located at 1919 Cordoba St., Livermore will be temporarily relocated in preparation for replacement of the existing building. The crews and equipment from LPFD Station 9 will move to 1617 College Avenue, Livermore for the duration of the reconstruction. It is anticipated that construction will take approximately one year.

Demolition of the existing station is scheduled to begin on January 12, 2015. Pacific Mountain Contractors were awarded the bid on the fire station replacement by the Livermore City Council on December 8, 2014. Their contract includes both demolition of the existing building and construction of the new facility.

Station 9 will be temporarily relocating to a former Fire Station that is owned by, and had formerly been used by The Alameda County Fire Department. Because this was an active fire station within recent years, the transition to temporary Station 9 will be fairly seamless. The original Fire Station 9 is being replaced for a multitude of reasons including the age of the building, lack of ability to remain operational in the event of an earthquake, current facility size and design which does not accommodate modern fire apparatus, does not meet current standards of design to support a diverse workplace, and does not presently have ADA compliant public access and facilities.

The new Fire Station will be a single story building in the existing location. Upon completion, it will continue to house 3 on-duty firefighters, a fire engine, and an all-wheel drive fire engine for wildland and urban/wildland interface firefighting.
