SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING PROJECT PL2304, BESSEMER
COMMERCE REVITALIZATION PROJECT, ACCEPTING A SMALL
DOLLAR GRANT FROM THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION, IN THE AMOUNT OF $222,750, TRANSFERRING
$22,275 FROM CI2204 TO PL2304, BUDGETING AND

SUMMARY:
This Ordinance establishes project PL2304 for Bessemer Commerce Revitalization,
approves a purchase order for funding in the amount of $222,750 from the State of
Colorado, Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT); transfers funds in the
amount of $22,275, and budgets and appropriates funds totaling $247,500 into Project
No. PL2304 - Bessemer Commerce Revitalization.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
The City applied for and was awarded a grant to upgrade the pedestrian street lighting
along the Northern Avenue corridor from Orman Ave. to I-25. This Ordinance
establishes the Bessemer Commerce Revitalization Project PL2304, transfers the City's
required 10% match (in the amount of $22,275.00) into the new project account, and
accepts the grant purchase order from CDOT.
Bessemer was the first city in Southern Colorado to have electric streetlights installed.
Emphasis was placed on the artistic, “handsome” design of lampposts, as described in
the Pueblo Star Journal. The existing luminaires still contribute to the historical look of
the neighborhood. Rehabilitating the bulbs, globes and poles of the pedestrian lighting
on the Northern Avenue corridor will be a source of cultural as well as economic
renewal for the commerce district and thus help support economic vitality while making
the neighborhood more walkable for residents.
The proposed project will upgrade pedestrian and street lighting along Northern Avenue
through the Bessemer Commercial Corridor and installs a vinyl printed artistic wrap on
a City-owned traffic control box at the intersection of Orman and Northern.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The matching funds in the amount of $22,275.00 are being transferred from Project No.
CI2204 and budgeted and appropriated into Project No. PL2304. Funds that will be
made available through the purchase order as well as the City match in the total
amount of $245,025.00 shall be budgeted and appropriated into the newly-created
project account.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Currently, there are no alternatives for completing the improvements without the
funding from the Revitalizing Main Streets (RMS) Opportunity 2: Small Multimodal and
Economic Resiliency Grant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
