Sundt Construction has a $500,000 contract to review construction and material costs for the 256,000 square-foot structure and provide the county with a maximum guaranteed price. Located on a triangle-shaped 4.3 acres on the southeast corner of Toole Avenue and Stone Avenue, the seven-story complex is estimated to cost $35 million to $40 million.
Pima County would occupy 38 percent of the space with plans for the city to lease the balance. Total tenant improvements will cost another $35 million. Both governments' existing courts are in overcrowded or aged buildings.
The high-tech building will be a 24/7 operation with advanced security and video arraignment capabilities. Since it will serve two jurisdictions, Spaulding said the complex will have holding cells and "high-volume courtrooms" to get arrestees before judges quickly.
Pima County broke ground in July 2011 and had the shell done by August 2012. The project includes a parking garage on the site's southern perimeter.
