Known today as the single deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history, a total of 2,977 lives were lost. 9/11 Memorial Project •On July 4, 2002, steel remnants from World Trade Center Tower 2 were welcomed by the RC community and displayed at the Jersey Fire Station for several days in order to allow community members to pay their respects and reflect on the events of 9/11. •Reflection soon led to the desire for a permanent memorial in the City. 2003 –Freedom’s Flame Design •An initial concept was designed by William Lecky, who worked on the Vietnam War and Korean War memorials in Washington, D.C. •The 35-foot memorial was estimated to cost $8 million. •This design concept was not completed. MEMORIAL BACKGROUND 2015 –RC CommUNITY Design •During the construction of the All Risk Training Center, the Fire District explored placing a memorial at the entrance of the facility. •HMC Architects hosted a contest for alternative design concepts open to interns and junior designers in the company. •The chosen design was never fully scoped,however the cost was estimated to be $1.35 million. MEMORIAL BACKGROUND 2020 –9/11 Memorial Redesign •The Fire District worked with HMC Architects to scale back the existing concept in order to reduce costs and simplify the design. •The new design was estimated at $1.25 million. •While the complex water feature was completely redesigned, the projected savings of $500,000 was offset by a national increase in construction costs. MEMORIAL BACKGROUND The Fire District has identified three options for the Fire Board’s consideration: 1.RCFPD All Risk Training Center 2.RCFPD Fire Station 178 3.Donation of steel remnants to another entity 9/11 MEMORIAL OPTIONS All Risk Training Center •Use the steel remnants to build a memorial in front of the entrance of the facility using the 2020 redesign concept. •Estimated at $1.25 million in May 2020, although construction prices have increased over the past year. 9/11 MEMORIAL OPTIONS Fire Station 178 •The Fire District owns 3.67 acres at the corner of Town Center Drive and Terra Vista Parkway. •2.23 acres to be used for Fire Station 178 and remaining 1.44 acres was identified for future site improvements. •A less complex conceptual design would be drafted for inclusion with the construction of the Fire Station beginning in 2022. 9/11 MEMORIAL OPTIONS Donation of Steel Remnants •Donate the steel remnants to another entity that is interested in constructing their own 9/11 memorial. •Remnants originally included two steel pieces and a fire engine. One steel remnant was donated to Ontario and the fire engine was donated to Fort Irwin. 9/11 MEMORIAL OPTIONS This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-ND STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends construction of the 9/11 Memorial at Fire Station 178 Design and funding recommendations: •Design of a less complex concept, including removal of the costly water feature •Budget not to exceed $1 million with joint funding by the City ($300,000) and Fire District ($700,000) •Funding supplemented by community partnerships (ex. Firefighters Association) and sponsorship opportunities (ex. personalized bricks, benches, monument sign) Advantages of this location include: •Centralized location within the City •Increased public accessibility and availability of parking •Construction of Fire Station 178 is scheduled to begin in 2022 •Project can be included as an amendment to the Fire District’s design-build contract for Fire Station 178
