Broomfield outlines $80 million police building plan; architects present 84,500‑sq‑ft schematic and phased court work

Katie Allen, Broomfield’s director of community development, and architects from Anderson Mason Dale presented a schematic design and cost estimate for a new police building at a City and County of Broomfield study session, describing a two‑story, roughly 84,500‑square‑foot facility, an estimated $73,000,000 construction contract and a total project estimate just under $80,000,000.

Allen told council the design work is about a quarter of the way through the design‑development phase and that the city has selected FCI Constructors as the construction manager/general contractor to provide preconstruction services. Allen said the CM/GC preconstruction contract is roughly $110,000 and will support iterative cost estimating, constructability reviews and recommendations during design; the goal is to bring a guaranteed maximum price from the CM/GC to council in the May time frame and begin construction after that contract is finalized. The architect, James Taylor of Anderson Mason Dale, described program organization, sustainability features and site layout.
