Flower Mound to spend $1.08M on Fire Station No. 6 design
The design of a permanent Fire Station No. 6 in western Flower Mound is underway after council members approved a contract covering the work. Council approved a professional services agree- ment to design the fire station worth $1.08 million at its April 7 meeting. The contract is between the town and Martinez Architects, according to town documents. The gist Fire Station No. 6 currently operates out of a Public Works facility located at 6566 Stonecrest Road. The new facility, which has a budget of $20 million, will be built on 6.64 acres owned by the town located at 6801 Canyon Falls Drive, per town documents. “The fire station will take up a portion of the property,” Director of Public Works Brian Walten- burg said. “There will be some remaining area for future needs, if needed.” Martinez Architects will eventually help staff
select a construction manager at-risk for the project, which is expected to take place later this year, Waltenburg said. He added the firm will also help with: • Completing the schematic and final design of the fire station • Preparing necessary construction documents • Overseeing the bidding process and administra- tion of construction. “The demand for service, personnel and equip- ment has created a need to construct a permanent fire station out west,” Waltenburg said. What’s next? Town officials are expected to approve a construction manager at-risk for the project this summer, Waltenburg said. A timeline shown during the meeting has con- struction planned to start in spring 2026 and finish in summer 2027.
