TMP 2025-438 A Resolution Approving A Construction Contract (2025 Traffic Signal  
Construction)  
The Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering Division evaluates  
the need for a traffic signal at intersections through an engineering  
analysis. The Prairie Hawk Drive at Low Meadow Blvd/Limelight Ave traffic  
signal, located near the Meadows portion of Castle Rock is planned to  
begin construction in Summer of 2025.  
The following questions were asked by the Commission:  
1. Did PWC approve a contract to retain a design consultant or was this  
done with an on-call process?  
A. The design contract for this project was not approved by the PWC,  
as it was under $250K and the Town Manager has approval  
authority for that. Public Works has an on-call contract that was  
used to select the design consultant.  
2. Why did Public Works pick a signal vs a roundabout for this intersection?  
A. While roundabouts are generally the preferred option, Public  
Works analyzes each location individually. At this location, a  
roundabout would have been cost prohibitive for our budget due to  
the right-of-way impacts and concrete work needed for a  
roundabout.  
3. Is the contractor responsible for the electrical and fiber when doing this  
project?  
A. The Town’s Department of Information and Technology handles all  
the fiber related work. Electrical work on the project is coordinated  
with CORE. Our contractor will install a meter, and CORE handles  
the connected from the meter to one of their transformers, and  
Town is responsible for the connection from the meter to the traffic  
signal cabinet.  
4. Will there be extra costs from CORE Electric?  
A. Town does pay a design fee to CORE to address ability to provide  
electric power. With the construction contract, there is one bid item  
that is a force account which has a fixed fee that each bidder uses  
the same cost. This cost is used to cover the connection from the  
meter to the Town’s cabinet.  
5. Since Lighthouse was the lowest bid how was it determined to pick them?  
A. Per our code the Town does select the contractor with the lowest  
qualified bid. Contractors’ qualifications are also considered  
including: insurance coverage; bonding; past experience and  
references.  
6. What other intersections were considered and how was this intersection  
picked?  
A. Public Works reviews key locations for signals each year. Last  
year we looked at three intersections: Front St/Canyon Dr; Crystal  
Valley/Old Lanterns; and Prairie Hawk/Low Meadow-Limelight. We  
performed analysis on each intersection to see if national guideline  
warrants were met under current conditions and future conditions.  
This project site was the only intersection that met warrants. In this  
case the 1-hour and 4-hour volumes met warrants, and a signal  
was found to improve safety, namely for traffic crossing Prairie  
Hawk from one side or the other.  
A motion made by Commissioner Rangel and seconded by Commissioner Reeder to  
approve the Resolution Approving A Construction Contract (2025 Traffic Signal  
Construction) Motion passes 4-0.
