The Weld County Board of Commissioners approved multiple public‑works contracts and related actions on May 28, 2025, including a construction contract for County Road 41 and State Highway 52 intersection improvements, utility relocation agreements for the County Roads 54 and 13 roundabout project, the purchase of wetland mitigation credits for High Plains Boulevard improvements, and authorization of temporary road closures and other procurement items.

Public works staff reported that AB Underground LLC received the award for the County Road 41 and State Highway 52 intersection improvement project after proposals were scored; the board approved the award in the amount of $3,990,463.68 (motion moved by Commissioner Maxey, seconded by Commissioner Ross). The board recorded an affirmative voice vote.

The board also approved agreements tied to the County Roads 54 and 13 roundabout project. Don Dunkirk of Public Works explained a relocation agreement with Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association to move electric lines out of the proposed right of way; the board approved the agreement for $1,060,827.82 (motion moved by Commissioner Ross, seconded by Commissioner Moxey). Dunkirk said the amount is included in the Public Works 2025 budget and that a Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) grant of $1,400,000 is associated with the project. Construction of the roundabout is planned to begin February 2026.

A second relocation agreement for the same roundabout project was approved with Western Midstream (doing business as WESDJ Gathering LLC) to remove and relocate oil and gas pipeline facilities; the approved amount was $284,273.85 (motion moved by Commissioner Maxey, seconded by Commissioner Ross). Public Works staff said both relocation costs are within the department’s 2025 budget.

For the High Plains Boulevard improvements between County Roads 32 and 34, Public Works presented an agreement to purchase 1.125 wetland mitigation credits from the Big Thompson Confluence Mitigation Bank; the board approved the purchase for $198,950 (motion moved by Commissioner Ross, seconded by Commissioner Peppler). Staff said the purchase is within the project’s existing budget and is intended to offset permanent wetland impacts.

Separately, several smaller procurement actions were approved: a UPS upgrade for the 2 West addition to the jail to CE Power Systems for $325,480 (motion moved by Commissioner Kepler, seconded by Commissioner Maxey); an annual culvert supply contract with DBE Manufacturing and Supply not to exceed $150,000 (motion moved and approved); and an award for washed rock and squeegee material to J2 Contracting for $45,500 (motion moved by Commissioner Ross, seconded by Commissioner Kepler). The board additionally continued action on a regional communications center 911 furniture bid to a later date.

Public Works and city staff also requested a temporary closure of 0 Street between North 20th Avenue and 11th Avenue to allow installation of a 16‑inch water main for the City of Greeley. Amy Leche of Public Works said the closure would run June 9 through June 27 for the phase presented, that detours will route traffic via A Street, North 20th Avenue and 11th Avenue and that access to county campus facilities will be maintained. She said the closure will be reopened to a passable level in time for Stampede; a subsequent phase beginning the Monday after July 4 (anticipated July 7) would continue work through August and include final paving. The board approved the temporary closure (motion moved by Commissioner Ross, seconded by Commissioner Maxey).

All approvals were recorded during the regular meeting; staff said project budgets or grant funds cover the approved costs where noted. Several presenters offered to answer questions before each motion; no votes against the listed motions were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
