SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TRANSFERRING $1,721,401.66 FROM PROJECT
CI2426 CITY COUNCIL AND DEPARTMENT RELOCATION PROJECT

PROJECT FOR THE RENOVATION, UPGRADE, AND EXPANSION OF
THE PUEBLO MEMORIAL AIRPORT TERMINAL
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance transfers $1,721,401.66 from Project CI2426 City Council and
Department Relocation Project to Project CI2524 Memorial Airport Renovations Project
for the renovation, upgrade, and expansion of the Pueblo Memorial Airport Terminal.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council previously approved Ordinance 10158 transferring $362,288.40 to Project
AP2203 and awarding a design contract to CSHQA, Inc. for the development of shovel
ready construction plans.
BACKGROUND:
The funds in Project CI2426 City Council and Department Relocation Project were
previously allocated for the purchase of the Wells Fargo Building. The City did not
purchase the Wells Fargo Building as anticipated. A portion of the funds were previously
transferred from this account for the purchase of the property at 650 Dittmer Ave. This
ordinance transfers all but $197,582.00 of the remaining funds in Project CI2426 to
Project CI2524 to partially fund the renovation of the Pueblo Memorial Airport.
The Pueblo Memorial Airport is a great asset to Pueblo but needs renovations to attract
more air traffic to the airport for tourism and business. The renovations include an
expansion and remodel of the terminal building passenger hold area, the addition of two
single-user restrooms, a new fire suppression system throughout the airport, upgrading
the existing bathroom to make ADA compliant, and modernization of the adjacent interior
and exterior spaces. The total cost of the project including all alternates is $6,010,041.35
