BACKGROUND:
The Senior Resource Development Agency (SRDA) has been in the City-owned building at 230
North Union Avenue since 1994. The City has investigated the replacement of the HVAC system.
Maintenance costs for the system and the frequency of each repair continues to increase each
year, causing additional budget risk.
In 2018, the City of Pueblo Public Works Department hired Weidner & Associates Architecture to
create schematic drawings and a preliminary cost estimate. Given the size of the new air
conditioning and heating units, it was determined that placing them inside the existing building
was not possible and an addition to the building would be required. US Trane was hired to perform
the design through a National procurement through U.S. Communities. A DOLA grant was applied
for the Project.
The SRDA Board of Directors has initially contributed $50,000 to the Project. The SRDA has
raised an additional $55,000 from local foundations and Board of SRDA is contributing an
additional $117,516 to the Project for a total contribution for the local DOLA grant match in the
amount of $172,516.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The following is a breakdown of the secured Project funding:
SRDA Additional Donation $ 172,516.00
DOLA Energy and Mineral Impact $ 800,000.00
City of Pueblo $ 575,000.00
SRDA $ 50,000.00
Pueblo County $ 250,000.00
Gates Family Foundation Grant $ 25,000.00
TOTAL $ 1,872,516.00
Funds from the SRDA contribution in the amount of $172,516 shall be accepted and budgeted to
