Contract Control Number:

 

Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): Denver Urban Renewal Authority

 

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

The Project Funding Agreement (CB13-0684) outlined the process to provide TIF funding from DURA to the City to be used for projects that further the objective of the Downtown Denver Urban Renewal Plan. Five projects have been completed by the City with Downtown TIF funds. The remaining Downtown tax increment funds have been identified for use in the reconstruction of the 16th Street Mall.

 

This ordinance request seeks approval to amend the Downtown Denver Improvements Project Funding Agreement (PFA) between the City and County of Denver and the Denver Urban Renewal Authority to revise submittal and reimbursement dates to align with the 16th Street Mall reconstruction project schedule, as well as updates workforce requirements to support Denver Career’s Construction Pilot program. This includes:

                     Adjusting the deadline by when the City can submit a project proposal from June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2022. This allows for completion of the design-build procurement process in order to bring the most accurate information when requesting use of the tax increment funding.

                     Extending the deadline for when the City can ask for TIF reimbursement from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2027. It is estimated the Mall construction be completed by 2024, but the final date of December 31, 2027 takes into consideration warrantee periods, public art completion (which historically lags behind the capital project completion) and alignment with Elevate Bond funding timeframes.

                     Making the City responsible for implementation of the workforce requirements associated with any future projects delivered using downtown TIF funds.
