The City of Madison has awarded Miron Construction the bid to build the first-ever purpose-built men’s shelter in Madison. Miron submitted a low bid of $21,463,884, plus an 8% maximum construction contingency of $1,717,111, for a total of $23,180,995.
The shelter will be located on Bartillon Drive and is a collaboration between the City of Madison, Dane County, and Porchlight, Inc., the local non-profit chosen to operate it. Funding for the project includes $13.5 million from city sources—comprising $8 million of borrowing—$10.5 million from Dane County, and $3 million in federal funds. This federal funding includes $2 million from a Congressional earmark secured by Congressman Mark Pocan.
The 40,000-square-foot facility will have the capacity to house 250 men experiencing homelessness in a space specifically designed to meet their needs.
