A Resolution Approving the Construction Contract Between the Town of

Castle Rock and CMH Concrete and Pumping, for the Street Repairs and

Safety Projects

A construction contract with CMH Concrete and Pumping for the Street Repairs

and Safety Projects. This annual project focuses on repairing sidewalks,

upgrading non-compliant ADA ramps, installing chase drains and addressing

safety concerns.

The following questions were asked by the Commission:

1. What is the purpose of removing the curb ramps?

a. The purpose for removing a curb ramp is to upgrade to the new

ADA standards or we will completely remove it is there is a true

safety issue with where it was originally placed

2. Is ADA compliance the main drive to replace?

a. Most of the time, yes. Occasionally, a handicap ramp may be

damaged, and we take the opportunity to upgrade it while

completing the necessary repairs.

3. How do you pick and prioritize the ramps?

a. For the Street Repairs and Safety Project, we follow the Town's

ADA Transition Plan, which identifies priority areas such as

schools, public buildings, and parks

4. What is the percentage of ramps that are out of compliance?

a. Roughly estimates are 60 to 70 percent

5. How often do the ADA Standards change?

a. Revisions occur as needed, normally every couple year’s they will

send out a revision to the standards.

approve the Resolution Approving the Construction Contract Between the Town of

Resolution recommending Town Council approve a Construction Contract

with Native Sun Construction for the Fifth Street Improvements Phase 1

Project

Fifth Street is a major arterial connecting local and regional travel between the

easterly portions of Town and I-25. Phase 1 includes road widening for additional

vehicle travel lanes and on-street bicycle lanes between Valley Drive and Castle

Crest Drive, a complete sidewalk connection between Ridge Road and

Woodlands Boulevard, storm drainage and water quality improvements, and a

traffic signal at Valley Drive.

The following questions were asked by the Commission:

1. Has the Town worked with Native Sun before?

a. Yes. Native Sun has performed work for the Parks Department, whom

gave project staff positive feedback on their performance.

2. Is there any funding from CDOT?

a. No. Federal grant funding in the amount of $3.5M will be awarded to the

Town in reimbursement fashion. CDOT is a pass though agency

responsible to administer the funds and ensure compliance with federal

requirements.

3. Since there is current work with sanitary sewer will that work be complete

before this work begins?

a. A separate construction project is ongoing onsite to install a new

sanitary sewer system underneath Fifth Street. The sewer contractor

has encountered numerous challenges which has slowed construction

progress. It is expected that the sewer work will overlap slightly with

some roadway construction activities in 2025.

A motion made by Commissioner Novak and seconded by Commissioner Rangel to

approve the Resolution recommending Town Council approve a Construction

Contract with Native Sun Construction for the Fifth Street Improvements Phase 1

Project. Motion passes 5-0.

Resolution recommending Town Council approve a Service Agreement with

Emprise Concepts for Construction Management and Inspection Services for

the Fifth Street Improvements Phase 1 Project

Service agreement with Emprise Concepts for Construction Management

and Inspection Services for the Fifth Street Improvements Phase 1 Project.

The utilization of these services will help ensure construction of the Project is

in accordance with contract documents and will in turn be crucial for delivering

high value to the community.

The following questions were asked by the Commission:

1. When will the biggest impact be and how do will we communicate to the

residents?

a. The roadway work will require a number of lane shifts, and lane

closures to safely complete the project. The biggest impacts are

expected to be in spring and summer of 2026. Town staff have

developed a communications plan for construction that identifies

specific activities that will engage and inform residents and

stakeholders of the project, and construction impacts. The plan

includes a multifaceted approach using Town and project webpages,

social media, print media (mailers, newsletter articles), project email,

and roadside variable message signs to inform the community of

impacts throughout the duration of construction which will include lane

closure and traffic impact notifications.

2. Is there additional communication with the churches?

a. In addition to the communication approach outlined above, Town staff

will inform directly adjacent properties (churches included) of project

progress and impacts throughout construction.

3. What has been the reception from the residents that are being impacting

with their driveways?

a. Reception has been mixed.

A motion made by Commissioner Novak and seconded by Commissioner Rangel to

approve the Resolution recommending Town Council approve a Service Agreement

with Emprise Concepts for Construction Management and Inspection Services for

the Fifth Street Improvements Phase 1 Project. Motion passes 5-0.

Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with The Castle View

Metropolitan District 1 for the Plum Creek Parkway Reconstruction Project

A utility project led by Castle View Metropolitan District No. 1 (the District) with the

Town’s pavement reconstruction work on Plum Creek Parkway. Under the

proposed structure, the District would manage and construct the full pavement

reconstruction within the project limits, while the Town would fund its portion of the

work.

The following questions were asked by the Commission:

1. Why is the contingency so large?

a. The contingency within the bid schedule is 5% ($26,928.5). The

additional contingency within the IGA is $5,609. The Total

contingency for the project of $32,538 is 5.8%. The typical

contingency for construction contracts is 10%. With minimal

utilities in the roadway and minimal curb & gutter and sidewalk

repairs, staff was comfortable with the lower than typical

contingency.

approve the Resolution Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with The Castle

View Metropolitan District 1 for the Plum Creek Parkway Reconstruction Project.

Motion passes 5-0.
