GENERAL SERVICES - AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE AND AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT(S) FOR NEW STAND-ALONE WORKOUT SHEDS AT SEVEN FIRE STATIONS (DISTRICTS: 2, 5)
Body
OVERVIEW
Fire Stations located throughout the unincorporated area of San Diego County in Harbison Canyon, Deerhorn, Lake Morena, Julian, Ranchita, Shelter Valley, and Intermountain have a need for dedicated fitness space to support the health, safety, and overall wellness of staff. A dedicated fitness space at these remote locations will help firefighters maintain optimal fitness, reduce injury risks, enhance overall performance, and ensure they are prepared to serve their respective communities.
