SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
At the September 25, 2018 Board of Trustees meeting the Board awarded the design for the Erie Parkway and Weld County Road 7 (WCR7) intersection improvements to J-U-B Engineers, Inc. At the March 24, 2020 Board of Trustee meeting the Board awarded the design for the traffic signal at this intersection to Fox Tuttle Transportation Group. At the June 9, 2020 Board of Trustee meeting the Board authorized the Town Administrator and Town Attorney to negotiate the purchase of right of way for the project.
The land purchase has taken significantly longer than expected. On October 11, 2021, the Town signed a purchase agreement with the last property owner. The closing for this property is scheduled for December 30, 2021.
After securing the commitment for the property on October 11, 2021, the roadway improvement package was finalized, and advertised for bid on November 18, 2021.
The traffic signal package has federal funding and cannot be advertised for bid until all the property needed has been acquired. This is expected to be ready for bid early January 2022.
