The selection process for the architectural firm that will be responsible for drafting the construction plans and documents for the machine shop and new model railroad exhibit building is nearing completion. Staff with the City of Sioux City, fiscal and administrative agent for the project, will make a selection recommendation to the Iowa Department of Transportation and the City Council. The formal selection will be announced once both entities approve the bid.
This next round of construction and historic preservation work will take place this summer and fall, with an anticipated project ending date of January 15, 2010. The project is being funded through numerous grant programs and private donations. We are continuing our effort s to raise money for this next phase, which is estimated at $1-million for renovation costs and new building construction. Donations to the project can be sent to the SHRA, P O Box 1355, Sioux City, IA 51102.
We will be releasing preliminary drawings of the new model railroad/civil engineering exhibit center within the next 30 days.
