INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The City of Denton Service Center is located at 901 Texas Street. The building was constructed in 1980
and has not had any renovations since that time. The Facilities Conditions Assessment (FCA) identified this
building as poor condition and recommended a renovation. The Service Center renovation project was
included in the FY 2024 Capital Improvement Plan approved by the City Council as a part of the FY 2024
budget.
The Service Center houses operational and field crews for a variety of departments, additionally the City’s
Warehouse facility is located at the Service Center. The proposed project includes renovating and expanding
the building and surrounding site. Departments housed in the Service Center will likely include but not
necessarily be limited to Water, Wastewater, Streets, Drainage, Traffic, Tech Services, Sustainability, and
Parks & Recreation.
The purpose of this contract is for McCownGordon Construction LLC to provide design phase services
including input on the constructability of the design as it is developed in collaboration with the City of
Denton, and the proposed design professional engineer, Quorum Architects, Inc. The contract total amount
of $40,000 includes $30,000 for preconstruction services and $10,000 will be reserved for additional
services with authorization by the City. After the design is finalized, a subsequent contract for the
construction phase with McCownGordon Construction will be scheduled for City Council consideration.
The construction contract to be awarded in the future is anticipated to be approximately $55M. The General
Fund will provide an estimated 75% of that cost. The remaining estimated 25% of the budget will come
from the Water/Wastewater Department.
