Project Approval for West Manatee Fire & Rescue District Station Number 4
BRADENTON, FL – 6/24/2014 – NDC Construction Company of Bradenton, Florida is proud to announce another project for this year, the replacement of West Manatee Fire & Rescue District Station Number 4, which will be located on 407 67th Street W. in Bradenton.
The district that the new fire station will be under covers approximately 18 square miles, which includes the cities of Anna Maria, Bradenton Beach, and Holmes Beach as well as the unincorporated areas of Cortez, Tidy Island, Palma Sola, West and Northwest Bradenton. This area carries a population of 35,731 with a seasonal influx of approximately 15,000 non-residents.
NDC Construction Company has contracted with Wannamacher/Jensen Architects, Inc. out of Saint Petersburg, Florida to handle the design along with Allison/Gause Inc. out of Bradenton, Florida who will do the engineering for the project.
Beginning next month, NDC Construction Company will begin building this new (107,000 SF) assisted living memory care facility that will be located in Lakewood Ranch, Florida and include approximately 124 resident rooms, dining rooms, activity areas, a full service commercial kitchen, administrative offices and memory garden walk paths. The design is based upon approximately one-third of the residents who are dependent upon assisted care due to varying degrees of memory ailments. The remaining two-thirds will be standard assisted living.
The project will require special attention to finish details, elimination of door & shower thresholds, lighting levels and finish colors. Residents afflicted by Alzheimer’s disease and similar ailments view and process their surroundings in a different manner than the average adult.
A state of the art resident tracking system dubbed “Skynet” requires special coordination with the product’s development team. The system will monitor resident movement and message staff if atypical behavior is detected. The technology also allows the unlocking of resident doors upon approach and is linked into the facility’s camera system to allow friends & family to check on their loved one through a secure website. Every decision that will go into the construction of Creekwood Assisted Living Facility will take into consideration the comfort and well being of its future residents.
Pirates plan more improvements at McKechnie Field
BRADENTON — While other cities tend to get demands for Major League Baseball spring training facility improvements from the teams — sometimes accompanied by threats of leaving the city — the Pittsburgh Pirates continue to highlight their commitment to Bradenton with plans to invest another $6.5 million in McKechnie Field and Pirate City.
The Pirates plan calls for replacing the existing clubhouse and expanding the agility field at McKechnie Field and building a new strength facility at Pirate City.
The city would invest $275,000 into the project from the public works budget.
The Bradenton City Council approved continued negotiations with the team over the proposals Wednesday.
“I think we are the frontrunners in the way we provide spring training and showcase the uniqueness of our partnership with the Pirates in the significant amount of money the Pirates invest into our city,” said Bradenton City Clerk Carl Callahan, who has been negotiating with the Pirates about the improvements.
The project will be “fast-tracked,” Callahan said because the Pirates want it completed before the 2015 spring training games in March.
Callahan praised the team’s commitment to the community and charitable organizations, as well as working with the city’s master plan vision to transform the area around McKechnie Field into an entertainment district.
“The Pirates are continuing to invest in Bradenton because of our long-standing relationship with the community and the vital, year-round training and rehabilitation assets that have been developed by our partnership with the city,” Pirates President Frank Coonelly said in a news release. “Our Major League and Minor League players deserve first-class facilities and the new home clubhouse at McKechnie Field and performance center at Pirate City will be among the best in the industry.”
The work at McKechnie would require an expansion into the city’s solid waste yard.
“We had a lot of discussion on how that would have an impact, but solid waste operations will not be affected,” Callahan said. “If we can accommodate the expansion without affecting solid waste adversely, then we certainly want to do that.”
The old clubhouse would need improvements within five years and the city would have been required to address the costs, Callahan said.
“They want to build this and it’s a real opportunity for us to make this happen,” he said.
Public Works Director Claude Tankersley confirmed his department’s solid waste operational budget could absorb the impact.
Ward 2 Councilman Gene Brown said the project has an added environmental bonus.
“Even though we are shrinking the yard, we are improving the yard by helping with the washout,” he said.
Recent improvements at McKechnie Field include the addition of lights in 2008 and a major expansion and new fan amenities in 2013.
Mayor Wayne Poston said McKechnie Field improvements have always been well-received by the public. The fact the city would have had to pay for the improvements on its own in a few years “cements our partnership with the Pirates,” he said. “It’s a working relationship that is really good and is only getting better.”
