HomeMy WebLinkAboutStudy Session Agenda Packet 01-08-2018 Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Patrick Goff, City Manager FROM: Scott Brink, Public Works Director DATE: December 29, 2017 (for January 8, 2017 Study Session) SUBJECT: Clear Creek Crossing I-70 Hook Ramp Construction ISSUE: Over the past few months, significant progress has been made with regard to commencing construction of access improvements to the Clear Creek Crossing site, more specifically the I-70 “hook ramps.” These improvements will provide direct access into and out of the Clear Creek Crossing site, as well as revise and improve the access between I-70 and 32nd Avenue. Following is a general description and update of the project process, including two IGA documents, one between the City and CDOT, and the other between the City and the Longs Peak Metro District. Consideration of approval of these documents by Council has been tentatively scheduled for January 22. BACKGROUND: Development of the property located west of I-70, south of Highway 58, and north of 32nd Avenue has been contemplated for several years. This effort started over a decade ago when Cabelas owned the property and a regional destination development was proposed for the site. This development eventually did not come to fruition and the property has remained vacant for the past several years. More recently, the property has turned over to new owners (Evergreen Development Co.). A mixed-use development is now being proposed over the same area with the exception of the property between Clear Creek and Highway 58, where no development is proposed at this time. The I-70 access authorization process is essentially the same as previously conducted and approved by CDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) when Cabelas owned the property. An updated Environmental Assessment (EA) and Interstate Access Request (IAR) in accordance with CDOT requirements have been developed and are nearing completion. These efforts have incorporated revised background and estimated future traffic levels for both the development, I-70, and connecting roadways. In addition to completing an updated traffic analysis (the majority of the effort), the EA also evaluates other environmental related items such as noise, wetlands, drainage, etc. CDOT staff is nearing final review and approval. ISSUE AND NEXT STEPS: Interstate Access Request (IAR) The IAR is a formal approval process by CDOT and FHWA that allows for access modifications to I-70 (the hook ramps). The required administrative work has been completed by the City’s consultant in accordance with the guidance provided by CDOT and FHWA staff. The next step is formal approval by the State Transportation Commission, scheduled as follows: Presentation at the Commission’s monthly workshop on January 17, 2018, with consideration of formal approval at the Commission’s regular meeting on either the following day (January 18), or the next regular meeting on February 15, 2018. Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) – City of Wheat Ridge and Longs Peak Metro District Construction of the hook-ramps will be performed by Evergreen Development, through their construction manager, Mortenson Construction. This process will be performed under the provisions of an IGA between the City and the Longs Peak Metro District. The City and Longs Peak Metro District have finalized a draft IGA. The construction will be coordinated and managed by Evergreen on behalf of the Metro District. Mortenson Construction (Evergreen’s Construction Manager) will be conducting the overall construction management, bidding, contract awards, overall contract management, payments to contractors, inspection, and other necessary construction management logistics. The IGA between the City and Longs Peak will provide the necessary provisions, requirements and safeguards needed to assure that the project will be completed in accordance with both City and CDOT requirements. Longs Peak will be fronting the construction costs and construction progress payments. Among other construction related logistics, the IGA also provides provisions for reimbursements to Longs Peak from the City (2E funds) as construction progresses. Oversight of the construction by the City will be provided by the City’s technical consultant (AECOM) under the direction of City staff. Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) – City of Wheat Ridge and CDOT CDOT and the City are nearing completion of a draft IGA between the two agencies. This IGA essentially provides assurance to CDOT that the hook-ramps and associated infrastructure improvements will be constructed in accordance with the approved construction plans and CDOT requirements. The IGA draft language is generally consistent with similar IGA’s and projects that cities have constructed involving CDOT facilities. The IGA includes provisions assuring construction quality assurance in accordance with CDOT requirements, final acceptance of construction, and long-term maintenance responsibilities. City staff will serve as a direct point of contact with CDOT during the project, with logistical support from the City’s consultant (AECOM). AECOM has considerable experience with the construction of interstate highway and CDOT projects, and will provide the administrative support and documentation needed to meet CDOT requirements as included in the IGA.

No State or Federal Funds are being used for construction of this project. The City of Wheat Ridge agrees to pay CDOT $20,000 for part-time review of the project by a CDOT Engineer, who will represent CDOT interests with regard to work quality and impact to the traveling public on westbound I70. By the permit through CDOT Region 1 Permits, CDOT will retain final acceptance authority for all facilities and appurtenances to be owned and maintained by CDOT. Through many discussions, the maintenance of facilities has been agreed to as represented in the attached graphics (3 pages). Also, as shown in the graphics, a turn-around for snow plows has been agreed to within the development, such that CDOT plows will be able to plow the I70 facility in much the same way as exists prior to construction.
