Memorandum
Citv of
EvaAstom
To: City Council
From: Lara Biggs, Bureau Chief - Capital Planning/City Engineer
Cc: Paul Polep, Interim Fire Chief
Subject: Fire Station No. 4 Update
Date: March 8, 2021
Backaround:
Fire Station No. 4 is located at 1817 Washington Street. It is a small station with two
main areas: a living quarters area and an apparatus bay. The living quarters includes
the following areas:
• Day Room
• Kitchen
• Female Bunkroom w/restroom
• Male Bunkroom
• Male Restroom
• Operations Room
Livina Quarters Roofina Issue:
On 2/12/21, Fire Station No. 4 developed a water leak from the roof area into the Day
Room. Facilities Management (FM) has attempted to isolate the area to collect water
and protect the furnishings. Access to the living quarters was restricted. During the
ongoing snow event, the apparatus bay was utilized to stage equipment in order to
reduce response times. (The apparatus bay has a separate roof and heating system,
and so it is able to be isolated from the living quarters.) Once the roads were cleared,
staff and equipment were relocated to other fire stations.
Because of the excess snow on the roof, staff was unable to immediately assess the
roof condition. An ice dam had built up in the gutters, a condition that frequently
contributes to roof leaks by preventing snow melt from draining off the roof. As the
water ponds on the roof, the water pressure forces the water back up under the shingles
allowing it to leak into the interior of the building. FM staff removed the ice dam, but a
significant amount of snow remained.
The living quarters roof is an asphalt shingle roof installed in 2011 by Riddiford Roofing.
On Tuesday, February 23, Riddiford Roofing visited the site and did a preliminary
inspection of the roof. Their representative indicated that they thought the water
infiltration was likely caused by ice damming, but the snow still prevented a full
inspection, so this was not definitive. While the roof is under warranty, ice damming
invalidates the warranty.
On 3/3/21, staff met with Garland/DBS, the consultant that currently works with the City
on roofing projects under the Sourcewell government cooperative purchasing program.
Garland is currently providing quotes to repair or replace the roof on the living quarters.
Because of the low slope of the roof, ice damming may continue to be an issue, so
replacing the roof to include better waterproofing may be preferable. The quotes are
expected on Wednesday of this week.
Air Qualitv Concerns:
As previously stated, the apparatus bay has a separate roof from the living quarters.
However, staff working at the station expressed concerns that mold might be present
because of the water leaks. On 02/17/21, Midwest Environmental performed a visual
inspection of the living quarters and apparatus bay and took air samples in order to look
for mold spores. Mold was visually seen on the underside of the roof in the living
quarters but not in the apparatus bay. The City received the analysis report on 3/5/21.
The analysis indicates elevated levels of mold in the Day Room, and notes clear
evidence of water leaks. It indicates slightly elevated levels of mold in the apparatus
bay, but also states that this is somewhat inconclusive. This is because the way that
mold level is determined to be elevated is by comparing it to an outdoor sample, and
samples taken outdoors are not accurate if taken immediately after heavy rain or snow.
The species of mold predominantly present is typical of mold found in building and
construction materials that have been saturated with water.
Remediation Recommendations:
The recommendations for both spaces are to hire a company to complete remediation,
which is the plan recommended by City staff. The remediation for the apparatus bay
should be fairly quick (estimated at 2 weeks), but the day room will take much longer
since the roof will need to be repaired first prior to remediation (estimated at 1-2
months). Engineering staff is in the process of receiving quotes on both the apparatus
bay remediation and the living quarters roof.
Staff Safetv:
The City is committed to providing a safe working environment for all City staff.
Information on mold can be found at the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
website at httDs://www.eoa.aov/mold/mold-and-health,. The City will provide more
complete information to staff at a later date.
Fire Operations and Resaonse Times Impact:
From February 12, until present day Engine 24 has been responding from Fire 2. EFD
response times have increased on an average of 1 minute and 45 seconds.
Ambulance 22, which is normally located at Fire 2, was moved to Fire 1 in order to
accommodate Engine 24.
The Evanston Fire Department runs three 24 hour shifts, engine 24 is a three firefighter
company. At this time there are 9 members assigned to this station. When these
members are on leave other firefighters are assigned to this station to relieve them.
Chief Polep is working with Facilities Management and City staff to determine an
alternative staging location to reduce the response time for Engine 24.
