New City Hall Chronology

 

Construction Phase

Construction Document Phase

Measure "I" Recertified
Nov. 6, 2001

The City Council approves a final project budget of $343 million, which includes $51.5 million
for site acquisition and relocation, $266.5 million for construction, and $25 million
for off-site parking. Budget is approved predicated on a proposed Multiple Prime construction delivery method to ensure that timelines and budget goals are met.

The City Council re-certifies that the project meets the requirements of Measure "I." The long-term economic benefit by relocating City Hall downtown is calculated at a savings of $189M over 50 years.
