Nearly two years after issuing a request for qualifications, Denver has selected PCL Construction Services as the preferred design-build contractor to refurbish the city’s 16th Street Mall.
The action means that work on the 1.2-mile-long pedestrian and transit corridor may finally begin this year, after years of studies, planning and design. Final negotiations need to be completed before the design-build contract is presented to the Denver City Council for approval, according to Nancy Kuhn, a spokesperson with the Dept. of Transportation & Infrastructure (DOTI).
