Attachment I - Project Descriptions for Bond

ATTACHMENT I List of Projects Proposed for The Recreation and Safety Bond The City of Boulder offers this list of proposed projects that could be funded by the Recreation and Safety Bond if passed by voters in the November 2026 election. This proposal is meant to be informative, outlining the city’s intentions regarding the use of bond revenue based upon the city’s current needs and public feedback. These projects may change depending upon various foreseeable and unforeseeable factors, such as the ultimate terms of the approved bonds, a change in the market, construction costs, or other unexpected changes.

South Boulder Recreation Center - 1360 Gillaspie Dr. Why It’s on the List The building is outdated and no longer meets community needs. Spaces are cramped, key areas aren't easily accessible for people with disabilities and aging equipment requires frequent, costly repairs. Mechanical systems are failing, and the building itself — walls, windows, doors, foundation and insulation — is deteriorating and uses more energy than it should. What’s Proposed Replace the South Boulder Recreation Center, including aquatics amenities, with a modern well-being building that is accessible to community members of all ages and abilities. Estimated Project Cost $65,000,000 North Boulder Recreation Center - 3170 Broadway Why It’s on the List The building needs urgent repairs, including new heating and cooling units – just to keep the facility running at current service levels. The city needs to replace the exterior walls in the lap pool area and some of the windows around the gym. The pool needs replastering. The fitness area is too small for how heavily it's used, and several other spaces could be made more accessible if they were redesigned. Shower and locker areas do not meet modern recreation center standards.

What’s Proposed Address deferred maintenance needs and modernize, expand the fitness area and add space needed to co-locate West Age Well Senior Center, to improve access to recreation, social connection and well-being for all. Estimated Project Cost $72,000,000

West Age Well Center - 909 Arapahoe Ave. Why It’s on the List The West Age Well Center needs major infrastructure repairs, which are especially costly and difficult because of how the original building was constructed. Its systems keep failing, and the cost of maintaining them has become significant. The building was built more than 50 years ago and was intended to be a temporary facility. What’s Proposed Relocation to the North Boulder Recreation Center – creating a shared location like the one in East Boulder. Estimated Project Cost is included in the North Boulder Recreation Center figure.

Fire Station 1 - 2441 13th St. Why It’s on the List The fire station is aging and needs significant reinvestment to stay safe and reliable, supporting today's emergency response needs and continued service to the community. What’s Proposed Repair and renovate the building to sustain emergency response capabilities. Estimated Project Cost $5,000,000

Fire Station 5 - 4365 19th St Why It’s on the List The fire station is aging and needs significant reinvestment to stay safe and reliable, supporting today's emergency response needs and continued service to the community. What’s Proposed Repair and renovate the building to sustain emergency response capabilities. Estimated Project Cost $2,000,000

Public Safety Center and 911 Dispatch – 1805 33rd St. Why It’s on the List The building’s heating, electrical and plumbing systems are well past their replacement cycles, resulting in regular disruptions and the need for emergency repairs. Frequent leaks are causing concerns about the potential for mold. The elevator does not work consistently. The building does not have adequate covered parking to keep expensive vehicles and equipment protected from the elements and it is too small to support current needs. What’s Proposed Replace the failing public safety building and create a modern hub for police and 911 services. Estimated Project Cost $170,000,000 (depends on selected location; this cost includes likely site infrastructure and construction of secure parking)

Municipal Services Center – 5050 Pearl St. Why It’s on the List Currently, the site is home to the city’s Fleet Services building, as well as Transportation and Utilities maintenance buildings that also house city snowplows and other large maintenance and emergency vehicles. These buildings were constructed in the 1980s and

1990s and have not received any substantial investment since that time. Roofing and electrical systems are outdated and in need of repair. Deficiencies in the mechanical systems result in temperatures that are either too hot or too cold, as well as a general lack of energy efficiency. Service areas – for mechanics to work on city vehicles – are too small to meet current demand, resulting in the city having to contract with outside vendors to prevent a backlog that would keep critical vehicles out of service. What’s Proposed The city-owned site sits on more than 40 acres and could support consolidation of multiple buildings and services that are currently located across the city. Redevelop this site in eastern Boulder, to more effectively manage operations related to fleet, Transportation and Utilities maintenance and possibly public safety. Estimated Project Cost $100,000,000

Penfield Tate II Municipal Building – 1777 Broadway Why It’s on the List Some staff will be moving to a new city center at Alpine-Balsam in 2027, but this building will remain the home of City Council. The building needs significant repairs to address failing systems, and the city wants to re-purpose empty parts of the building to provide more community gathering space and for public safety staff who serve downtown and nearby locations. What’s Proposed Renovate the building to address failing systems, like heating and cooling; improve accessibility for people with disabilities; and re-purpose vacated offices for community and public safety uses. Estimated Project Cost $30,000,000

The sum of these projects adds up to over $400 million because sale of buildings is factored into the total costs.
