Council awards contract for community center renovation to OAK Colorado LLC
Summary
The Castle Pines City Council approved Resolution 26-11 to award a construction contract for the 2026 Community Center renovation (Project 2026PR001) to OAK Colorado LLC after staff presentation and council questions about design, ADA upgrades and parking. Staff said OAK was the lowest responsive bidder and recommended award; the motion passed unanimously.
City staff presented Resolution 26-11, asking the council to award the construction contract for the 2026 Community Center renovation (Project 2026PR001) to OAK Colorado LLC and to authorize the city manager to execute change orders as needed.
Marcus Graves, parks, trails and open space director, described the project as a modernization that will upgrade lighting, electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems, improve accessibility and add permanent AV and meeting space for council and community use. Graves said the city issued an invitation to bid, received 13 responses, determined five firms were responsive, and identified OAK as the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. He told the council staff had checked references and found positive results. In the presentation Graves read a construction and contingency figure into the record (transcript phrasing: a not‑to‑exceed amount of "600,602 thousand 873" for the construction contract and a 30% contingency described in the record as "180,861 and 90¢") and said staff would issue a notice to proceed if the contract were approved. He said the goal is to hold the first council meeting in the remodeled space in July 2026.
Councilors asked clarifying questions about dais width and sightlines, existing columns, acoustics, ADA compliance for restrooms and whether exterior work and parking were included in the scope. Graves said the contract covers interior work only and that exterior accessibility and a longer‑range parking solution are being planned as a separate project; he confirmed ADA restroom work and new AV systems are included in the interior scope.
A council member moved to approve Resolution 26-11; the motion was seconded. The roll call shows votes in favor from Council member Cole, Mayor Engerman, Council member Salazar, Council member Weniger/Winegar, Council member Mulvey and Council member Eubanks; the motion passed.
The record indicates the council approved the contract award and contingency authorization and directed staff to proceed with contract execution and issue a notice to proceed.
