Board approves CDOT park‑and‑ride IGA to design and advance Highway 24 site
Summary
Trustees authorized an intergovernmental agreement with CDOT for design and construction of a Highway 24 park‑and‑ride, accepting a CDOT award (~$1.044M minus environmental costs) to cover design and construction with no immediate town match; trustees emphasized design controls to avoid cost overruns.
The board voted to enter an intergovernmental agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation to design and pursue construction of a park‑and‑ride facility off Highway 24.
Staff said the town was awarded roughly $1,044,000 for the project; CDOT has used a small portion for environmental evaluation, leaving about $1,022,000 for design, engineering and construction. Trustees asked whether the town would be obligated to build a high‑cost final project if designs came back over budget; staff said the town could value‑engineer or change the design and was not committing to additional local funds at this time.
The board adopted the resolution authorizing staff to sign the IGA and move forward with an RFQ for design work. Trustees discussed site selection history, connectivity to Main Street, and potential future infrastructure and housing benefits associated with the property. The resolution passed by voice vote.
