The project consists of a new Operations Center for the City of Post Falls. Work includes, but is
not limited to construction of a one-story, 33,000 sf commercial building of Type-V-B
Construction. The project is mixed use; non-separated occupancy of Business and Storage uses.
The building is intended to be used for administrative functions related to the City of Post Falls
Public Works Operations and Maintenance departments, with offices, conference rooms,
breakroom, and a warehouse with pull through style bays. The project features a mezzanine in
the warehouse, primarily for mechanical equipment. The warehouse portion is a PEMB
structure (24,900 sf), and the administrative component is stick framed (8,585 sf). The project is
expected to start construction in September 2026 with a completion date in late 2027.
Other project work includes, but is not limited to, the construction of an asphalt public roadway
(Hargrave Avenue) between Pleasant View Road and Corbin Road along with the development
of ~9 acres of land for the City of Post Falls’ new Operation Center. The adjacent undeveloped
parcel will require mass and fine grading, the installation of utilities (stormwater facilities, water
main, septic system, gas, power), the installation of concrete, asphalt, gravel pavements, and
landscaping and irrigation infrastructure.
Proposers must have a current, valid Idaho Public Works Contractor license for the work under
