Description
Authorization to amend the Construction Staging License (License) with Kitchell Construction, Inc. (Licensee) to extend the license term for use of City-owned property located at 701 W.

Report
Summary
In 2024, City Council authorized the City to enter into a Construction Staging License with Kitchell Construction, Inc. for approximately 0.8 acres of City-owned property located at 701 W. Washington Street. The license supports contractor parking and laydown needs for the Phoenix Police Department Crime Lab HVAC Upgrade Project (Project #PW26480024). The license included an initial one-year term with two three-month extensions. Both extensions have now been exercised, extending the current License through May 31, 2026.
Public Works has updated the project schedule, and the HVAC improvements are now anticipated to be completed on December 3, 2026. The Licensee has submitted a written request to extend the staging license to match the revised project timeline. The amendment ensures the Crime Lab HVAC project can be completed without disruption. The extension will not impact CEDD’s ongoing efforts to prepare the surrounding property for a future redevelopment Request for Proposals (RFP). To support uninterrupted completion of the HVAC project, the City and Licensee have agreed to modify the License as follows:
- Term: Extend the License term from June 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026. Allow for one additional three-month extension.
- No modification to the compensation for the license agreement.
- Additional Terms and Conditions: Continue Licensee’s maintenance responsibility for approximately 1.12 acres of landscaping on City-owned property during the extended term. Maintain all existing insurance, fencing, and permitting requirements.

There is no impact on the General Fund as a result of this action.
