Linda McNatt - Animal Care & Adoption Center

This month the design team has been working with their consultants (Engineers) to solidify the designs of the scopes that you don't see. Like the structural components, mechanical, electrical, stormwater and other utilities. We also were able to discuss the interior design components too.

The design team continues to hone the details of the project. As the drawings get more and more detailed, we are able to determine cost estimates more accurately.

The design team is plugging away at the details to make this facility inviting and functional for our friends, furry and otherwise!

The team has been working through design and cost estimates to provide the City with the 2023 Bond requirements within budget.

Our schematic design is complete. The design team will begin adding details to the drawings to make it functional (like electrical, mechanical, and plumbing) and our general contractor will begin the cost model.

We are happy to announce that on Tuesday, August 20th, City Council approved Steele & Freeman, Inc to provide Pre-Construction Services.

We are in contract negotiations with a General Contractor for a Construction Manager at Risk Pre-Construction agreement.

We are working through the requirements of Staff to make the necessary updates to the current facility and to better care for our furry friends. The design is coming along.

Additionally, we have advertised for a Construction Manager at Risk and will be conducting interviews of the top contenders soon.

We are proud to announce that Quorum Architecture Inc from Fort Worth has been selected as our designer for this project. City Council approved their agreement on April 16. Design is anticipated to take up to a year for completion.

An architect has been selected, negotiations are underway and it will be headed to City Council for approval shortly.
