Document Description
The Fresno-Kings Unit needs to provide a permanent structure for firefighter and Department staff at the Fresno Air Attack Base (AAB) in Fresno, California who are currently housed in a mobile office trailer on site. The project involves the installation of an approximately 4,500 square foot barracks located at 2311 N Clovis Avenue Fresno, CA 93727. The proposed building location lies on the existing paved parking lot of an administrative site adjacent to the Fresno-Yosemite International Airport. The project area is a previously disturbed mixture of native soil, gravel, and pavement void of any native vegetation. The existing pavement will be removed and replaced with a new concrete pad to act as a foundation to the new AAB Barracks. The footprint of the concrete pad will be approximately 4,500 square feet. Prior to laying new concrete, the existing pavement will be demolished and removed, and the ground will be leveled to insure the quality of the foundation. In addition to the new concrete pad, minimal ground disturbing activities will occur to facilitate sewer connections to the building. The sewer line will require approximately 75’ of trenching and will be roughly 24” deep and 18” wide. Trench spoil will be mounded adjacent to the trench and immediately backfilled/compacted. Utility connections will utilize the existing conduit in place from the office/trailer being replaced. All ground disturbing activities will occur within the perimeter of the existing administrative site. Installation activities are anticipated to take approximately 300 working days to complete.
