Pinkard Completes City of Arvada Municipal Service Center Renovation and Expansion

Arvada, CO - Construction Manager/General Contractor Pinkard Construction Company, with Architect Bennett Wagner & Grody, has just completed a $4.8 million, CM/GC renovation and expansion to the City of Arvada's Municipal Service Center at 68th Place and Indiana.

The Indiana Facility expansion consisted of two additions to create approximately 23,000 additional sf of space to house a sign shop, high bay vehicle service, welding shop, and new public entrance.

The renovation portion was a complete interior remodel, the addition of an elevator to meet ADA requirements, conversion of the mezzanine into offices, and addition of fire protection throughout. The complicated elevator addition required the removal of precast twin tees, which were replaced with structural steel, bar joist and deck.

Development of the 1.76 acre site includes the creation of a new entry, parking, a wash area for street sweepers and mowers, and site storage.

The two-story, Indiana Facility houses Vehicle Maintenance, Water Transmission & Distribution, Engineering Laboratory, Traffic Maintenance, and Parks Maintenance work groups. Pinkard phased the addition and renovation to accommodate the daily operations of this in-use facility.
