BACKGROUND:
In November 2016, County voters passed Ballot Question 1A, which allows the County to
collect, retain and spend all revenue from all sources notwithstanding the limitations of Article
X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("TABOR") or other law and utilize revenues from
expiring Tax Incentive Agreements ("TIA") in the amount of approximately $66 million to fund
an initial list of 20 specific community improvement Projects, and a list of Projects as modified
or supplemented from time to time, now formally known as the Capital Improvement Program
("CIP"). The HARP Channel Extension and Boathouse Project was identified as a Project.
The design and construction plans contemplated by the previous IGA have been completed,
bids reviewed, and a qualified contractor identified. The project consists of the demolition of the
existing eastern channel terminus, construction of a new channel eastward to Santa Fe Drive,
new and retrofitted utilities, paving and hardscapes, drainage, site electrical and lighting,
landscape improvements as well as the construction of a new two-story building. The two-story
building will be used by HARP for boat and equipment storage, office space, and public
gatherings.
As part of the construction, the Pueblo Regional Building Department and the City of Pueblo
require additional 3rd party material testing and special inspections. Terracon Consultants, Inc

provide the testing and inspections during construction.
