From Bob Piccoli – Director of Construction & Project Management

 

    The Department of Construction and Project Management, headed up by Bob Piccoli, was formed early last year out of what used to be the Department of Public Works & Operations. Another spin-off from that reorganization was the Department of Property & Facilities which is now under the leadership of Ernest (Muz) Pinnecoose.

    The purpose of this site is to provide information to those who wish to know more about the activities of various construction projects planned, and in progress, on the Southern Ute Indian Reservation. Hopefully, you will find this site informative as well as providing a forum for your comments and concerns.

 Phase I (Family/Community Center Project)

    The Phase I project has been going on for some time now. The Southern Ute Academy was the first part of the project to be completed. Next came the new Utilities/Grounds Maintenance building, which is located just off of Country Road #517 adjacent to the Justice Complex. Work is now underway with the Community Center and Lower Site portions of the project. The updates posted on this site will deal with the Community Center and Lower Site.

    Most of the Lower Site was once home to many Tribal groups that have now been moved to other locations. They include:

Building Maintenance - C.R. #517 in the BIA Facilities building south of Motorpool
Construction Services - State Hwy #151 at the old County Road and Bridge Yard
Custom Farms - C.R. #517 on the north side of BIA Forestry
Service Squad - C.R. #517 on a portion of the Vonestine Herrera Assignment
The Transfer Station - State Hwy #172 by the Waste Water Treatment Plant
Water Distribution - State Hwy #172 adjacent to Ignacio Peaks Subdivision
Animal Control - State Hwy #172 west of the Waste Water Treatment Plant
MCC Yard -    Equipment being stored at Sky Ute Sand and Gravel

    I will do my best to update this site as frequently as possible. As I mentioned earlier, the purpose and intent is to try to get information out for those who are interested in the construction projects.
