Members of Allen City Council will discuss an amendment to the construction contract for the new police headquarters, library fees and more at an upcoming February meeting.
Allen City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Feb. 10 for a work session, with a regular meeting to follow at 7 p.m.
What’s happening
The Feb. 10 regular meeting agenda includes discussion and action on a $1.6 million amendment to the contract with CORE Construction Services of Texas for the new Allen Police Department headquarters project for a facility security plan.
The Allen Police Department will move into a new $97.1 million facility in early 2027 after voters passed an $83 million bond in 2023 to contribute funding to the project. In June, Allen City Council approved the final guaranteed maximum price of about $67.7 million, bringing the total budget to $97.1 million, city documents state.
The contract amendment is for safety measures such as security cameras and badge readers. If the amendment is approved, it will not impact the budgeted amount for the project, according to city documents.
