Pleasant Grove Fire Station, Police & Justice Court

The Pleasant Grove Public Safety project was for construction of two new steel-frame, brick masonry facilities which replaced the City’s existing outdated facilities which they had long outgrown. The first structure is a 27,000-sf multi-functional building that houses the Justice Court, Police Department, City Council and has a community room. The other is a 23,000-sf Fire Station, the first ground-up fire station the City had built in 100 years. Both buildings are two-story, modern, and feature durable, high-use finishes throughout. Project challenges included some community opposition and a very restrictive budget. The team utilized former three-term Pleasant Grove mayor David Holdaway as a liaison which helped to change public opinion. Also during preconstruction, Big-D worked the Architect, City, and Fire Department to review all areas of concern and identify value engineering options that resulted in nearly $1 million and kept the project within budget.
