The long wait for the rebuild, and fixes on other stations, were two reasons Jim McDade and the association cited explaining why they supported firing City Manager T.C. Broadnax
“Unfortunately, the city cannot meet the request, and in response the contractor has decided not to proceed with the construction of the project as originally awarded,” city staff said in a memo last week.A storm in June 2019 significantly damaged Fire Station 19. It was demolished the following year and construction on its replacement just began. The city found structural issues with the foundation at Fire Station 30 in December 2020.
“So, is there any point in this process, and I guess I’m really directing this to you city manager, that you think we were not being as efficient as we should’ve been or as timely as we should’ve been, or is this the best that we can expect?” Mendelsohn asked. She was one of the City Council members saying last week that Dallas needed a new city manager.
She said that’s the intent of the new timeline. Mendelsohn asked if Castaneda thought the timeline was possible. She said yes. Castaneda also said they should have been able to meet the original timeline but “there were a lot of deficiencies.” Postell said the company’s contractors couldn’t hold their prices any longer and they started escalating by the week.
Postell said he’s open to bidding on the project again because his company knows so much about it and already sank money into it. “We did all the heavy lifting,” Postell added. “We took the job to the starting line but we didn’t get to start the race.”
