| IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!
BCVFD Building project
After many years of meetings, red tape, political intrigue, a string of broken promises and a change to NY State Law, the long stalled building project is again on the move.
Our meeting with our new partner, the Dormitory Authority (DASNY), went quite well. If the BCVFD can close the monetary shortfall, our long awaited project will finally be realized. We have to cover between $400,000-$500,000 in building cost. This figure is not new, the BCVFD Building group always counted our friends and neighbors as our greatest asset, now is the time to make this happen. The Ball is in our court, we have to call in all favors, reach out to everyone and anyone to help us make the building a reality.
NYSDOT and DASNY are proceeding with the legal and project documents with the assumption that we will be able to either raise the funds or fill the "work in kind" subcontracts as we have been contending we could do for the past 6 years.
Over these many years that we have been planning this project our friends in the building trades have offered to help when the time came.
NOW IS THE TIME!!!!!
Federal guild lines allow the BCVFD to use "Work in Kind" subcontractors and labor to lower costs. We are seeking the help of licensed subcontractors and or qualified labor to help the BCVFD in this endeavor.
On any building project the electrical and plumbing fit out are the most costly subcontracts to cover. Our building also has a very costly mechanical fit out which covers HVAC and sprinkler/fire alarm systems. If the BCVFD can fill any two of these items with "work in kind" we will be able to bid this contract out as early as this summer.
This project will allow the influx of federal dollars to our community in excess of $2,000,000. We are also quite sure that tax credits will be associated for all participants as the BCVFD is a 501 3-C non-for profit agency. The cost breakout for this project, which meets required NYS Wick’s law obligations for this project, was completed in 2008; a revision is currently underway in 2011 dollars.
For further information and details of the cost allocations please contact, Dan McIntyre, BCVFD or email cracky57@aol.com; Daniel.McIntyre@nyct.com or contact us via our web site at BCVFD.org. Or call the firehouse at 718 474 6888 any evening, leave your name and number and we will call you back.
