SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Verrado Marketplace PD Substation TI project includes the interior build-out of a commercial space
to create a fully operational public safety facility. The project will support enhanced police presence,
response capability, and community access within the Verrado area. Improvements include architectural
construction, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and life safety systems. The facility will be
designed to meet City standards and applicable building codes, ensuring a safe and efficient operational
environment for officers and staff. Upon completion, the substation will strengthen service delivery and
improve public safety coverage for the surrounding community.
Staff requests City Council approval to preauthorize the City Manager to execute contracts and
administer construction activities for CIP Project No. 109080 – Verrado Marketplace Buckeye PD
Substation Tenant Improvements, up to the remaining approved construction budget of $875,000.00,
thereby allowing the project to be delivered as planned.
The Verrado Marketplace Buckeye Police Department Substation Tenant Improvement Project will
convert a commercial shell into a fully operational, public-facing public safety facility for the City of
Buckeye. Located in Building J, Suite 110, within the Verrado Marketplace, the substation will provide a
permanent police presence to enhance public safety, improve response times, and increase accessibility
for community members.
The project includes a complete interior tenant improvement build-out, including architectural,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and life-safety systems. Additional improvements

include low-voltage infrastructure pathways, security features, roof access enhancements, and required
signage. Construction will be completed in accordance with 100 percent construction documents
prepared by GH2 Architects. The suite is expected to be available for a period of twenty years to the city
as part of an agreement with Vestar. Upon completion, the facility will be fully code-compliant and ready
to support ongoing police operations.
BENEFITS:
Approval of this request would provide the City with the flexibility to efficiently manage and deliver the
improvements to the Verrado Marketplace PD Substation within the remaining $875,000.00 in approved
construction budget. 
The Verrado Marketplace Police Department Substation will enhance public safety by establishing a
permanent police presence within a high-activity commercial and residential area. The facility will
improve response times, increase visibility, and strengthen community engagement between officers and
residents. Locating the substation within the marketplace enables faster deployment and more efficient
coverage of surrounding neighborhoods. The project also supports proactive policing efforts and
improves operational efficiency for patrol and community-based services. Overall, the substation will
contribute to a safer environment and improved quality of life for the Verrado community.
FUTURE ACTION:
Upon City Council approval, the City will execute the construction contract and issue a Notice of Award
to proceed with the construction as well as any other contract necessary for completion within the
approved construction budget. City staff will coordinate with the contractor, design team, and internal
departments to monitor progress, ensure compliance, and conduct inspections throughout construction.
Final inspections and closeout activities will support facility acceptance and occupancy. The project will
be completed once all contractual requirements are met and the substation is fully operational.
