Sundt Construction Awarded Contract Expansion on Pima County Downtown Court Complex
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Sundt Construction, Inc., an AGC member of multiple chapters, has begun the second phase of construction on the new Pima County Downtown Court Complex. Originally contracted in February 2012 to complete the core and shell of the 290,000-sq-ft facility, Sundt was recently granted a contract expansion to make tenant improvements, construct a parking structure and complete landscape and hardscape updates.
Sundt is serving as the construction manager at risk (CMAR) for the $37 million in improvements, $22 million of which includes improvements on floors two, three, four, five and seven. In addition, Sundt will build an adjacent seven-level, 700-car parking structure with an 8,400-sq-ft retail shell fronting the new Stone Avenue public plaza, which is budgeted at $15 million.
"The Pima County Downtown Court Complex has required detailed and specific planning, starting with the complex foundation pour from the first phase of the project," said Sundt Project Director Kurt Wadlington. "This second phase requires careful coordination of interior build-out, adjacent foundation systems and multiple utilities that cross the site."
Housing the Pima County Justice Courts and Pima County public service offices, the seven-level complex includes a distinctive dichromic glass mural on the south wall that was paid for using a separate public art budget. The mural will be illuminated at night for an attractive addition to the Tucson skyline. Sundt anticipates this second phase will be completed in early 2015.
