Arvada council approves contract increases for police evidence building and West 70th Avenue project
Summary
On consent, the council approved a preconstruction-services amendment for the police evidence building and a change order for design services on West 70th Avenue, increasing contract totals as listed in the resolutions.
The Arvada City Council approved two contract amendments on the consent agenda at its Aug. 5 meeting that increase previously approved totals for a police evidence and storage building project and for engineering design on West 70th Avenue.
The council approved Resolution R25-062 authorizing Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with Saunders Construction LLC for preconstruction services related to the police department evidence and storage building project. The amendment adds up to $8,000,300 and increases the total contract amount to not exceed $8,356,000.
The council also approved Resolution R25-063 authorizing Change Order No. 8 to the agreement with Mueller Engineering Company Inc. for West 70th Avenue engineering-design services (between Kipling Street and Simms Street). The change order adds up to $810,295 and increases the total contract amount to not exceed $5,666,961.
Action and vote: Council member Ambrose moved to accept the consent agenda; votes were cast and the motion passed 7–0.
Why it matters: Both items were approved on consent, meaning the council did not hold separate discussion on the dais. The Saunders Construction amendment affects the police evidence and storage building procurement budget; the Mueller Engineering change order increases the city’s engineering-design contract for a multi-block corridor improvement project.
Next steps: The consent approvals authorize the city to proceed under the amended contract amounts; the council did not elaborate on implementation timelines during the meeting.
