The proposed contract with the design-build firm the city has selected to tackle a long-planned revamp of the 16th Street Mall has come in at a cost of $149 million.
A Denver City Council committee was briefed Tuesday on the contract with PCL Construction Services, which has its U.S. headquarters in Denver.
Provided the contract is approved by the council in the coming weeks, the contract period will begin in April, and some construction work related to utilities could begin toward the end of the year, according to Travis Bogan, director of special projects for the city’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. But the major construction efforts aren’t expected to physically begin until the second quarter of next year.
