Council accepts Public Works space-needs study and authorizes schematic design work with Wold Architects
Summary
The council accepted a Public Works facilities space-needs study and authorized staff to execute a contract with Wold Architects & Engineers for schematic design services with fees not to exceed $321,000, moving the project into a more detailed phase of design.
Mark, a city staff member, summarized the Public Works facilities space-needs study and recommended advancing the project to schematic design. He told the council the study is the first phase of design work and that schematic design will provide a more detailed understanding of site layout, design choices and project costs.
Council members said the need for consolidated public-works facilities is longstanding; one council member noted parts of the current facilities date to the 1950s and stressed safety and operational efficiency as reasons to move forward. Mark said the city has examined multiple site options, including a city-owned property at Highway 61 and 202nd Street and opportunities to redevelop the existing site.
