Renovation of a detention facility in Muscatine, Iowa. Completed plans call for the renovation of a detention facility.

The date for Award of Contracts for construction is anticipated on February 12th, 2024, with the Notice to Proceed being issued no later than February 26th, 2024. The contractor will have full access to the site allocated to the phase of work during the project. The owner will maintain continuous occupancy and operation of adjacent spaces and the remainder of the facility. No date is set for substantial completion but a Spring 2024 start with a late Fall 2024 completion is highly desired.
