SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION ADOPTING AND APPROVING THE 2025 STANDARD
CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARD DETAILS FOR
THE CITY OF PUEBLO, COLORADO
SUMMARY:
This Resolution adopts the 2025 Standard Construction Specifications and Standard
Details for the City of Pueblo, Colorado.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council adopted the current Standard Construction Specifications and Standard
Details by Resolution 14853, dated April 11, 2022.
Subsequently, the Standards were revised by Resolutions 15088, 15114 and 15139,
approved on December 12, 2022, January 9, 2023, and February 13, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department in coordination with other departments responsible for
managing the City of Pueblo Public Infrastructure Systems develops construction
standards and specifications that apply to all City of Pueblo projects. The Standards
also apply to construction work performed by developers and builders responsible for
constructing public improvements in residential, commercial, and industrial
developments within the City of Pueblo.
These standards ensure the public infrastructure can safely meet the needs and
demands of the public; and that the City of Pueblo remains in compliance with State
and Federal law; and that the City of Pueblo responsibly approaches the management
of the Total Life-Cycle cost of constructing, operating, and maintaining its infrastructure
systems. The Standards generally do not specify what types of improvements must be
constructed for a given project, but they do address the required quality, materials,
dimensions, capacities, and other physical and functional characteristics for our public
infrastructure systems.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Not applicable.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Since implementation of the Standard Construction Specifications and Standard Details
in April 2022, the City of Pueblo has continued to engage with the Committee of
Community Development (made up of local engineers, designers, builders, developers,
representatives from PEDCO, and City Council members) to review and provide
feedback on the Standards.
The Public Works Department desires to continue working with the Committee and
other stakeholders on an annual basis to discuss specific areas of concern and any
issues that may arise over time with respect to the Standard Construction
Specifications and Standard Details.
ALTERNATIVES:
The existing Standard Construction Specifications and Standard Details will remain in
effect if the Resolution is not approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
