West Wendover Fire Station #13

West Wendover Fire Station No. 13 was part of a multi‑facility community investment effort and required careful coordination between the City and USDA to remain within a constrained, pre‑pandemic budget. Using a design‑build approach, the team rapidly established a clear phasing strategy that allowed the City to achieve immediate operational readiness while preserving long‑term expansion capacity.

Proactive cost management enabled the project to incorporate a shelled apparatus bay, reducing future construction complexity and ensuring that growth could occur without major operational disruption. Close coordination with USDA reviewers helped identify opportunities to improve scope alignment, ultimately allowing the project to deliver fully completed dorm rooms at opening, avoiding costly, disruptive post‑occupancy construction and strengthening early operational capability.
