• Summit Fire Headquarters. In 2014, we completed an Existing Facility Assessment of the
Summit Fire Headquarters building which dates back to 1902. The assessment concluded
that construction of a new fire headquarters would represent the most cost-effective means
to provide the fire department with the improved facilities they needed. Site constraints
led to a $15M, 33,000 sf multi-story design solution that provides four bays to house the
department's entire fleet of apparatus, and accommodations for up to 24 firefighters per
shift. The design also includes the latest in red/yellow/green design principles as well as
on-site training features. Construction completion is slated for 2023.
• In 2022, the Reston office also expanded our public safety training portfolio. Teaming with
Clark Nexsen (CN) and Elliott LeBoeuf & McElwain (ELM), together we completed
feasibility studies for Central Piedmont Community College Public Safety Training
Academy and Davidson Davie Heath and Public Training Facilities in North Carolina. We
also provided Master Planning services for the Chesapeake Heritage Park Public Safety
Training Facility located in Chesapeake, VA which will begin design in 2023. Additionally,
we were awarded the Morgantown Public Safety Training Academy project entailing
programming, site feasibility studies/Master Planning with full design anticipated to follow.
To round out the year, we teamed with IStudio, a DC based firm, along with CN and ELM
and were awarded preliminary design for the Joint Fire and Police Training Center. Full
design services are anticipated in the future based on funding availability.

Texas:
• City of Victoria. Brian Meade led a team on the City of Victoria through a space needs
study and facility condition assessment for the Police Department, Courts, and Dispatch.
The study was completed and accepted in early 2022. FGMA is currently engaged in two
projects: an additional study and a new public safety complex. The additional study is to
review at least twenty more public buildings, that study is anticipated to be completed in
March of 2023. In October 2022, FGMA also started the design for a new public safety
headquarters that will house the Victoria Police Department, including dispatch services;
Victoria Fire Department administration; and the City of Victoria Municipal Court. The
project is anticipated to be completed by the middle of 2025.
• City of Austin. In 2022, Brian Meade and Ray Lee completed a programming exercise for
the City of Austin Police Department, a department of over 1,200 staff members. FGMA’s
role was part of a larger public safety study consisting of Austin Police Department, Austin
Fire Department and Emergency Management Services. FGMA continues to track and
pursue the City of Austin’s effort to implement the study. The City of Austin is looking at
public private partnership for the development of a public safety complex on an existing
city owned property known as the Rutherford Campus and will involve the sale of the
current police headquarters located in downtown Austin. The RFP is anticipated to be
released around March 2023.
• In addition, FGMA is working on two projects under an existing City of Austin rotation
contract. The current project is a dual plumbing study. This project is part of the City of
Austin’s Water Forward and Climate Action Plan initiative to reduce potable water by
incorporating grey water (purple pipe) systems into all municipal buildings. The second
project is the design of Austin Memorial Park’s restroom renovation project. The
construction is currently on hold and we are waiting for next steps from the City of Austin.

• City of Elgin, Texas. In February 2022, FGMA was awarded the design work for a new, but
temporary, City of Elgin, Texas police headquarters. Elgin is a rapidly growing suburb of
Austin that still holds onto its rural roots. The police department is currently operating out
of a 100+ year old building in its historic district. The new facility will be used in the short
