Council awards $27.38 million contract to widen Lincoln Avenue; Jordan Road gets sidewalks and bridge work
Summary
Parker awarded a $27,379,212.06 contract to Hammond Infrastructure for the Lincoln Avenue widening project (CIP 22‑02). Council heard project history, a funding breakdown that brings the all‑in cost near $37 million, a planned start within weeks and a Nov. 13, 2026 completion date.
Parker — The Parker Town Council on March 3 approved staff’s recommendation to award the Lincoln Avenue and Jordan Road widening contract (CIP 22‑02) to Hammond Infrastructure for the low responsive bid of $27,379,212.06.
Patrick Burke (staff presenter) summarized the project limits and history: work begins just west of Keystone Boulevard on Lincoln Avenue, extends to Parker Road, and includes a short widening segment on Jordan Road from Stonegate Parkway to Lincoln Avenue plus a new sidewalk link along Jordan. Burke told council the town has prepared for the widening for more than a decade; earlier Douglas County transportation plans called for a six‑lane Lincoln by 2020.
Burke said five bids were received and all were under the engineer’s estimate; Hammond Infrastructure’s low bid was $27,379,212.06. He said Douglas County is providing $9,000,000 in construction funds. Councilmember John Dyack asked about the town’s total budget for the project; Burke and director Tom Williams provided a breakdown that brings the all‑in cost to roughly $37 million, including a design cost of about $3.2 million, right‑of‑way and easement acquisitions near $1.7 million, construction management roughly $2.3 million, utility/CORE relocations about $2.4 million and the construction bid of $27.4 million.
Burke said the town acquired just over 0.5 acres of right of way, 1.8 acres of permanent easement and 5.2 acres of temporary easement. He estimated mobilization would begin within one to two weeks after contract execution and gave a completion date of Nov. 13, 2026. The project will include new sidewalks and ADA‑compliant ramps at nearly every intersection and will widen the bridge on Jordan across Newland Gulch to accommodate turn lanes and add a sidewalk link from Village Center Parkway to Stonegate Boulevard.
Council members asked about outreach; Burke said staff will set up a project web page, coordinate notices with Stonegate Metro District and use variable message signs and roadside construction signage to alert motorists.
Councilmember Gendricks moved to approve the staff recommendation; the motion was seconded by Councilmember Wilkes and passed unanimously.
Notes: Staff said the project has been the result of long‑term coordination with partners including Douglas County and CORE (formerly IREA). Hammond Infrastructure was described as an experienced contractor in Colorado civil work; staff noted past work for Douglas County, Adams County, City of Centennial and RTD.
