BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
On Oct. 26, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved Resolution 21-150 regarding an agreement with Vista Ridge Metropolitan District for the Maintenance of Ponds and Sidewalks. In this agreement the Town of Erie agreed to be responsible for maintaining ponds.
On Aug. 15, 2022 the Town entered into a Professional Services Agreement with RESPEC Company LLC, to design Ponds A20 and A19.
Staff posted a request for construction bids on BidNet Direct Nov. 12, 2025, to construct Vista Ridge Ponds A19 and A29.
Contractors submitted the following bids on Dec. 23, 2025.
Contractor Bid Amount Bid Bond Included
Engineers Estimate $1,932,857.10
RCD Construction, Inc. is the lowest and most qualified bidder.
This project will improve the detention pond outlet structures, add trickle channels, forbays, and maintenance access paths. These improvements will enhance the appearance of the ponds and make the ponds easier to access for maintenance.
Communication Plan
The Town has contracted with JUB Engineers, Inc. for construction oversight and to assist with neighborhood communication. Prior to construction, flyers will be delivered to property owners who live adjacent to the project. Surrounding neighbors adjacent to these drainage facilities have been engaged and provided input on these projects throughout the years.
Public Works staff will also use the Communications & Community Engagement staff and resources to keep adjacent property owners, the public, Colorado National Golf Course, Vista Ridge HOA and the Vista Ridge Metro District informed as construction activities progress.
