SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL

SUMMARY:
Attached is a copy of the grant application to the Colorado State Historical Fund for
funding related to the Pueblo City Hall Interior Rehabilitation Phase II Project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
This Resolution authorizes the submittal of a grant application to the Colorado State
Historical Fund to assist in funding the City Hall Interior Rehabilitation Phase II Project.
The Project will include the rehabilitation of the original historic materials and
concentrate on the historically significant primary public spaces on the First Floor of City
Hall only. The scope of the Project includes the rehabilitation of the original terrazzo
and hardwood flooring; repair, patch, and painting of the plaster ceilings and walls;
rehabilitation of the marble columns, wainscoting, and trim; rehabilitation of the wood
and glass storefront casework; installation of a new metal ladder to one of the original
upper vaults; and the construction of a new interior door to the Pre-function Community
Room for Code required egress.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total rehabilitation project cost is estimated to be $302,152 including a $200,000
grant request from the Colorado State Historical Fund and local matching funds of
$102,152. The City’s local match will be provided from remaining funds in the City Hall
Remodel Phase I Project.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City Planning and Community Development staff, Bill Zwick; project architect, HGF
Architects, Inc.; project historic architect, Hoehn Architects, P.C.; and the Deputy
Director of the State Historical Fund have met to discuss the grant application. It was
decided to be competitive the application should only include the First Floor where the
least amount of demolition and impact has occurred to the original building resource.
The First Floor Pre-function/Community Room and the new City Clerk Offices have the
most significant primary interior spaces and should be very competitive in the grant
selection process.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the grant from the State Historical Fund was not submitted and awarded the City
would be responsible for the rehabilitation costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
PROPOSED MOTION:
This Resolution will be placed on the March 24, 2014 Regular Agenda for presentation.
