Upgrading the fire safety systems at the Police Administration Building is costing the city more than originally planned.

The Denver City Council approved a contract amendment with Dynalectric Company to cover additional expenses for the fire panel replacement project. This move ensures the facility's fire detection and alarm systems meet current safety standards.

The budget increase bumps the contract maximum from $924,988 to $954,988, a total increase of $30,000. The work is taking place at the Police Administration Building located in the 80211 ZIP code within Council District 10.

The council approved the change during its October 3, 2023, meeting. Residents can find more details or attend public meetings regarding this matter at Denver City Hall or via the city's Legistar portal.
