City progresses on design work for city hall, police and fire facilities; public works design already contracted
Summary
City staff reported that design, architecture and engineering work is underway for city hall, the police department and a fire station after the board authorized $750,000 (city committed $600,000); staff said geotechnical testing and surveys are complete and that the public works facility design was contracted to Navigate as part of an existing s
City staff told the Board of Aldermen on June 28 that design and engineering work is underway for renovations or replacement work at city hall, the police department and the fire station and that preliminary steps are well advanced.
Robert (city staff) said the board previously authorized $750,000 for design work and the city has committed $600,000 toward the effort. Survey work is complete, designers have toured the buildings and staff meetings with designers are ongoing. Robert said a geotechnical rig is scheduled later in the week or early the following week to begin soils testing.
On the public works facility, staff corrected an earlier statement from the retreat: the design work is already contracted to Navigate as part of an existing study, and city staff will bring a contract for board approval in the next couple of months. No formal vote on these design contracts was taken at the June 28 meeting.
Background: Staff framed the updates as follow‑through from the board’s retreat; the work covers design, architecture and engineering tasks needed before any construction phase.
Next steps: staff will complete soils testing and continue design meetings with stakeholders; the public works facility design contract will be returned to the board for approval in the coming months, per staff.
