PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance 10914 (March 10, 2025) approved and authorized the Mayor to execute a
contract to buy and sell real estate by and between the City of Pueblo and 101 W.
Riverwalk LLC for the purchase of property described as 101 West Riverwalk Place,
Unit 2.
Resolution 16075, dated August 11, 2025 approved a construction contract in the
amount of $922,579.00 to H.W. Houston Construction, LLC and set forth $100,000.00
for contingencies.
Resolution 16179, approved on November 24, 2025, approved contract Amendment 1
in the amount of $233,549.00, which included the $100,000.00 in contingencies
previously awarded.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo purchased the old Professional Bull Riders building and is planning
to remodel the building to house the offices of the Planning and Community
Development Department, the Civil Services Department, the Finance Department, the
Law Department, and the Human Resources Department. The 1st floor of the building,
located adjacent to the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk (HARP) will not be included as part
of the remodel, but houses the mechanical, elevator, and electrical rooms. In general,
the construction project awarded to H.W. Houston Construction consists of the remodel
of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors of the Riverwalk Building at 101 West Riverwalk in
Pueblo, Colorado. It includes selective demolition of existing walls, doors, and finishes.
The new construction includes limited walls, doors, and casework. New finishes include
painting throughout and replacement of carpet and flooring. Furniture systems include
take down and reuse of the existing systems and furnish/install of new systems
furniture. Associated plumbing, electrical, and mechanical work is included, as detailed
in the plans and specifications.
The contract amendment approved by Resolution 16179, left the project with no
contingencies to complete the project. At this time, staff believes $70,000.00 in
additional contingencies will cover any additional unforeseen changes to the project.
