Council approves $7.3 million construction contract and professional services for Crowfoot Valley Road widening
Summary
Castle Rock approved a low bid construction contract with FNF Construction for the Crowfoot Valley Road widening and a professional services contract with Alfred Benish & Company for construction-phase services; the council recorded unanimous votes for both resolutions.
The Town Council approved two related resolutions on April 15 to move forward with the Crowfoot Valley Road widening project: a construction contract with FNF Construction and a professional services agreement with Alfred Benish & Company for construction-phase support.
Dan (last name not specified in the transcript), project staff, presented the project scope and said the work extends prior improvements and will widen Crowfoot Valley Road from the terminus at Nobcon Drive to the town boundary. The design includes additional through lanes and a dedicated right-turn lane at Nobcon Drive, a new signal at Sapphire Point Boulevard (targeted for the third quarter of this year), sidewalks on the east side, bike lanes, raised medians and reduced lane widths to improve safety, and drainage and sanitary sewer rehabilitation coordinated with Castle Rock Water. The project was divided into two segments for bidding and construction; town staff described extensive public outreach during design.
Staff reported five bids were received; FNF Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid and staff recommended awarding the construction contract to FNF. The engineer’s estimate and the bid results were shown in staff materials: the recommended construction contract was $7,300,000 with a 10% contingency. Alfred Benish & Company was recommended to provide construction-phase services; staff said its proposed fee was within the existing project budget.
Council voted unanimously to approve both the construction contract and the construction services agreement. Roll-call votes recorded "Yes/Aye" by Councilmembers Hollingshead, Bracken, Davis, Brooks, Dietz, Mayor Pro Tem Kavey and Mayor Gray.
Why it matters: the improvements are intended to reduce congestion, add multimodal facilities (sidewalks and bike lanes), and address local sewer/drainage needs while coordinating a regional partner contribution; Douglas County committed $1.7 million toward the project.
Ending: Town staff noted a project milestone timeline with the Sapphire Point signal expected in Q3 of this year and project completion targeted in Q3 of 2026; staff said they will return with standard construction oversight reporting as the project proceeds.
