SUMMARY:
This Resolution awards an Agreement for Professional Architectural Services to
Demmon Design Studios, Inc., to design the remodel of 650 Dittmer. Demmon Design

contract in the amount of $80,134.00.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance 10744, dated July 22, 2024, established Project Account CI2443 - Admin
Offices Relocation Project, transferred, budgeted and appropriated $2,000,000 from
Project Account CI2426 - City Council and Department Relocation Project, approved
and authorized the Mayor to execute a contract to buy and sell real estate by and
between the City of Pueblo and CK Investments for the purchase of property at 650
Dittmer Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
The City's Law Department requires additional office space to conduct its day-to-day
operations. The current office spaces in City Hall can accommodate approximately five
attorneys and one additional support staff member. Because of the shortage of space,
several attorneys and support staff are housed in the Pueblo Municipal Justice Center,
away from the rest of the Law Department. The Law Department requires sufficient
office, conference, and work space to accommodate ten attorneys and staff members.
The Law Department has identified the property located at 650 Dittmer Avenue as a
building that can meet its space requirements. The building has approximately 13,000
square feet of space which also provides enough room to relocate the Human
Resources and six (6) members of the Parks and Recreation staff within the building.
The building was formerly a surgical center and will require some renovations of
existing spaces to remove installed medical equipment and convert certain rooms to
accommodate administrative/office use.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $80,134 will be paid from Project Account CI2443 Admin
Offices Relocation Project.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable to this Resolution.
