Costco Asks City for More Cash for Longmont Project

LONGMONT: Initial charge estimates for Costco Wholesale Corp. ‘s new deposit store. (Nasdaq: COST) in Longmont, a public-personal partnership between the city, Costco and a personal owner, did not hit the mark, and the company has about $2. 5 million in more public funding.

Costco had estimated the public investment and payment repayments required for the allocation at approximately $12. 5 million and now expects it to exceed $15 million.

The difference, which would merit the Longmont City Council supplying it on Tuesday, would be offset by a combination of the American Rescue Project Act budget and sales tax revenue from the Harvest Junction East Fund.

Costco plans to build the 150,000-square-foot store on an area of about 50 acres near the Harvest Junction development in Longmont.

As part of a three-component agreement between Longmont, the owners and Costco, the town will also gain nine acres of personal land for housing development.

“The assignment team has undertaken the elaboration of plans and designs and is close to obtaining the permits,” according to a city memo. “The assignment was tendered and bids from qualified contractors were won and reviewed. The bids won were higher than the initial estimates.

Increases in structure have been a major thing in underestimating costs.

“The prices of parts such as PVC, steel, wood and concrete pipes have increases of more than 30%

last year. In addition, the structures market in Denver and along the Front

Diversity is more active than normal,” according to a city memo. “This has led to shortages and delays in sources, which has led to increases in value. The increase in activity in this area has also led to labour shortages, which has also been an increase in the value of the thing. »

In addition, the initial load estimate did not take into account trench relocation, underground drainage, additional leveling, and earthworks and demolition.

“It is up to the people to move forward with more credits at this time to

cover known existing maximum prices so that asset closure can occur

the next month that allows the structure to begin and meet a timeline to meet Costco requirements

it must be to open the facility,” the memo says. Currently, this schedule foresees the opening of the store at the time of part of 2023. “
