February 4, 2025 City Council Planning Session

At the February 4, 2025, City Council Planning Session the Public Safety and Maintenance Facility (PSM) design team gave the City Council an update on the progress of schematic design of the PSM Facility. You can review the agenda bill, the presentation, and the meeting recording is available here.  

Staff provided an overview of the facilities and the circumstances leading to the design to design the PSM Facility.  The City’s architect team Northwest Studio presented the early schematic design documents and cost estimates to the City Council. They also sought feedback from the City Council on design strategies and early design choices.  

The design team presented a preliminary cost estimate of the PSM Facility, estimating that it will have a cost range between $105 and $110 million. This estimate includes constructions costs, soft costs, an escalation factor, and state and local sales tax. 

A more detailed cost estimate will be prepared during the Schematic Design process as the building and site plans are further refined. The revised Schematic Design Cost estimate will be presented to the City Council in June 2025.
