Executive Summary
Castle Rock Water (CRW) requests Town Council Approval of a resolution (Attachment A) approving a construction contract (Exhibit 1) with FNF Construction, Inc. for the 6400 East Tributary at Paintbrush Park Phases 1 and 2 Project. The contract amount is $5,476,540.50, plus staff requests a 10% Town-managed contingency in the amount of $547,654.05, for a total project authorization of $6,024,194.55. This project will be funded through the Stormwater Fund, and is located within Town owned open space east of Paintbrush Park in the Meadows neighborhood (see Attachment B). This project will rebuild the existing dam embankment for the pond adjacent to The Grange Pool complex to meet current State Dam Safety criteria, install fish habitat in the pond and fishing platforms adjacent to the pond, construct trails throughout the project limits, and construct stream stabilization features at various locations within the drainageway corridor. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
Notification and Outreach Efforts
In summer 2022 notifications were sent to residents in the vicinity of the project informing them of the proposed project improvements, and a public Open House was held on July 21, 2022 to present project design exhibits and plans for discussion and comment. Staff also worked closely with Meadows Neighborhood Company to elicit feedback and secure permanent drainage easements needed to access the pond site from Meadows Boulevard. Notifications will be sent out to residents and the HOA prior to the start of construction, along with periodic progress updates for the project’s duration.
Discussion
The 6400 East Tributary at Paintbrush Park Phases 1 and 2 Project combines the previously separate Phase 1 and Phase 2 designs into a single project for construction. This serves to both lower overall construction costs and shorten construction duration, thereby minimizing disturbance to the residential neighborhood and public park adjacent to the project. The final project design includes the following features that address stream stabilization and public safety/recreation goals previously established:
• Redesign of the pond located north of The Grange to support recreational fishing.
• Redesign of the dam embankment to meet State Department of Natural Resources Dam Safety Branch criteria for Jurisdictional Dams.
• Inclusion of water quality volume in the new pond.
• Addition of a riprap reinforced pond overflow spillway.
• Riffle pool drop structures to stabilize the downstream channel grade.
• Riprap and grading to prevent stream bank erosion at several locations.
• New soft surface trails, stream crossings and fishing platforms for public recreational access.
• Landscaping adjacent to the pond for aesthetics and at various locations along the stream corridor to prevent erosion and support wildlife habitat.
