SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISIONS TO THE STANDARD
CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARD DETAILS FOR
THE CITY OF PUEBLO
SUMMARY:
This Resolution approves revisions to the 2025 Standard Construction Specifications
and Standard Details for the City of Pueblo, Colorado adopted on November 11, 2024.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution 15819, dated November 11, 2024, adopted the 2025 Standard Construction
Specifications and Standard Details.
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.
The 2025 Standard Construction Specifications and Standard Details were adopted by
the City Council on November 11, 2024. Since their adoption, it was discovered that the
incorrect version of Standard Detail 14 (SD14) was included in the adopted version.
Attached to the Resolution is the correct version of SD14.
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.
