Summary
Douglas County commissioners approved a $13,218,000 construction contract with Hammond Infrastructure Incorporated and two budget reallocations to fund the Pine Drive and Pine Lane improvement project, with a projected notice to proceed on April 6 and a 480‑day contract term.
Douglas County commissioners voted to approve budget reallocations and award a $13,218,000 construction contract to Hammond Infrastructure Incorporated for the Pine Drive and Pine Lane improvement project.
Public Works project staff Brolin Bundy said the county received 10 bids and that Hammond Infrastructure was the low bidder at $13,218,000, below the county engineer's estimate of slightly more than $15 million. He said the work will reconstruct and widen Pine Drive to four lanes with a center turn lane and median, widen Pine Lane and add new traffic signals at the Pine Drive/Pine Lane and Ponderosa Drive/Pine Lane intersections. Staff recommended a notice to proceed of April 6 and a contract length of 480 days (projected completion around July 30, 2027).
"We had 10 bids that were submitted and opened those on 01/27/2026. 10 bids were received and as follows, I won't read through all of them, but as you can see, Hammond Infrastructure was the lowest bid there coming in at $13,218,000," Bundy said.
Commissioners asked no substantive technical questions, there were no public comments on the item, and a motion to approve the two budget reallocations and the construction award carried. The board recorded vocal assent during the roll call.
Clarifying details provided by staff show the award will be funded from Fund 230 (Business Unit 80770) for $5,218,000 and Fund 235 (Business Unit 801504) for $8,000,000; staff also asked to transfer $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 within Fund 230 between business units to cover the project. Staff estimated the awarded contract is less than the earlier engineer estimate.
The project manager said the county has worked on the corridor for multiple years and that the improvements are intended to address growth and traffic safety in the Parker region of eastern Douglas County. The board did not amend the contract at the meeting; staff will proceed with the contract award and mobilization steps.
Next steps: staff expects to issue a notice to proceed on April 6 and to oversee construction per the contract schedule.
