City announces RFP for renovations to East Providence Police Department
EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – The City of East Providence is seeking proposals from qualified firms for the renovation of its police station.
There will be a pre-bid site visit/walkthrough at the East Providence Police Department, located at 750 Waterman Ave., East Providence, RI 02914 on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 at 1 p.m.
“Our administration is committed to seeing that our first responders have the best equipment and facilities available to serve our residents,” Mayor Bob DaSilva said. “Before my administration, updates to the police station were ignored for years, but we have worked to change that.
“Moving the communications center from the police department to station 3, opened up much-needed space at the police headquarters. This renovated space will better serve our residents and the men and women of the East Providence Police Department,” Mayor DaSilva added.
All of the improvements to the station will be paid for through the Municipal Public Safety Infrastructure Grant and ARPA funding.
Information and specifications for the RFP can be downloaded via the City’s website at https://eastprovidenceri.gov/rfp
