The 132,000 SF, five-story City of Sunrise Public Safety Complex is nearing completion. National police architects, Architects Design Group, and the design team, performed multiple punch walkthroughs to assist the Construction Manager to close out all remaining construction issue to the satisfaction of the City and the users. The project achieved substantial completion on February 14, 2011.

The facility includes a tactical 8-lane Firing Range; and the installation has been completed and the shooting range is open for training to the Police force. Also included in this state-of-the-art facility is the 911 Communications Center, which is currently being furnished with specialty work stations and equipment that will serve as the Joint-use Broward County/City of Sunrise 911 Public Safety Answering Point.

One of the most important components of the Public Safety Complex is the Central Energy Plant that provides 100% redundancy to all critical infrastructure components. The plant accommodates two emergency generators and a fuel tank with a minimum of 72-hour capacity at full load. The chiller plant, located within this hurricane protected structure, is fully operational and is currently providing air conditioning to the entire complex.

The two-story, 18,000 SF, Fire Station #72 is 90% completed. The major components and equipment in this building have been installed. The specialty millwork installation is on-going and finishes are almost completed.

The final completion of the complex is scheduled for the end of March 2011 and Stiles Construction, the Construction Manager, is diligently working to achieve the deadline with the best quality of work and materials selected for the project.
