REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

_______________________________ ______________________________ Michael Clasen, HR Manager City Manager
ISSUE: For 2019, the City offers employees two medical plans through Kaiser Permanente; a High Deductible plan and Deductible HMO Plan. Both plans are also offered as COBRA protection for former employees who choose to enroll. January through December billing is estimated and
budgeted to be in the amount of $2,420,526.
PRIOR ACTION: The HR division has been requesting council approval to pay each invoice on a monthly basis which has resulted in late payments to the vendor.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Monthly insurance costs vary depending on the number of employees and dependents enrolled. For 2019 these costs will average around $230,000 per month. The estimated total for January through December 2019 invoices are for both active and COBRA memberships. Due to seeking council approval on a monthly basis Kaiser invoices have not been paid to meet Kaiser’s
deadline. We have a contract for 2019 that will be void if we do not pay the invoices by or before
the required deadline, we will also accrue late fees which can vary based on how late past the deadline we are.
Council Action Form – Kaiser 2019 Membership Billing
December 10, 2018
Page 2 The City will be seeing an increase in our monthly cost due to filling approved positions: 15 police department, 3 Parks & Recreation, 2 Public Works, and 1 Courts. There will also be some
upcoming retirements for people staying on COBRA and also new hires to fill the vacant
positions. BACKGROUND: Kaiser Permanente has been the City of Wheat Ridge’s medical plan provider for several years.
The City offers two deductible plans and a robust wellness program. 2018 monthly billing
charges are as follows:
2018 KAISER BILLING
JAN $195,189.45
FEB $195,376.34
MAR $218,976.12
APR $198,233.22

OCT $193,398.76
NOV $205,058.38
DEC $184,418.66
TOTAL $2,335,943.07 RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that council approve and allow administrative payment of the monthly 2019
Kaiser bills, based on the 2019 annual estimate of cost, not to exceed a total of $2,420,526.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “Motion to approve monthly payments to Kaiser Permanente for January through December 2019 for membership billing not to exceed a total amount of $2,420,526.”
Or, “I move to deny monthly payments to Kaiser Permanente for January through December 2019 for membership billing not to exceed a total amount of $2,420,526 for the following reason(s)

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _______________________________ ______________________________
Chief of Police City Manager ISSUE: Changes in the way that the Federal Government handles asset forfeiture has required that the
funding model for the West Metro Drug Task Force (WMDTF) be reconsidered. A new
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) is required between the participating agencies; the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, The First Judicial District Attorney’s Office, and the cities of Arvada, Lakewood, Golden and Wheat Ridge outlining the new funding model. PRIOR ACTION: Council approved the original IGA that established the West Metro Drug Task Force in 1995. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no net financial impact. Only the processes used to apply for and receive forfeited
assets will change.
BACKGROUND Under the old IGA, the task force was funded by participating agencies supplying personnel and operating costs being funded by asset forfeiture. At irregular intervals the task force governing
board would authorize a disbursement of surplus asset forfeiture funds to be given to each
participating agency by a formula based on the agency participation. The task force acted as the fiscal agent regarding asset forfeiture.
Council Action Form - Amended IGA for the West Metro Drug Task Force
December 10, 2018
Page 2 Under the new federal rules, a governmental agency must be the fiscal agent which precludes the
task force acting as such. The new IGA has the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office acting as the
fiscal agent of the task force to manage the operating costs of the WMDTF. Funds through the equitable sharing program, as well as any state forfeiture assets, will be requested by and delivered to the Sheriff’s Office for these expenses. Once 115% of operating costs have been received in any fiscal year, any additional seizure requests will be made to the United States
Marshall’s Service by the member agencies. Once an equitable share has been determined by the
Federal Government, assets will be delivered to each individual agency by the formula outlined in the new IGA. At the beginning of the new fiscal year, the process will repeat. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that City Council approve an amended and restated intergovernmental
agreement to establish the West Metro Drug task Force. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution No. 70-2018, a resolution approving an amended and restated
intergovernmental agreement to establish the West Metro Drug Task Force
Or, “I move to deny Resolution No. 70-2018, a resolution approving an amended and restated

CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO RESOLUTION NO. 70
Series of 2018 TITLE: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH THE WEST METRO DRUG TASK FORCE
WHEREAS, the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado (the “City), acting through its City Council (“Council”) is a home rule municipality with statutory and constitutional authority to enact ordinances and enter into agreements for protection of the public health, safety and welfare; and
WHEREAS, C.R.S. § 29-1-203 authorizes Colorado local governments to cooperate and contract with one another to provide any function, service or facility lawfully authorized to each; and
WHEREAS, in 1995, the City and a number of other area jurisdictions with law
enforcement and criminal justice authority entered into an intergovernmental agreement establishing the Jefferson County Task Force, to be utilized in the identification, investigation, and prosecution of individuals and groups involved with the trafficking of illegal drugs and associated criminal enterprises; and
WHEREAS, the parties to the 1995 intergovernmental agreement now wish to update the same to reflect the evolution of the task force and certain changes in the law that apply to it, including but not limited to laws concerning the use of federal asset forfeiture funds; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the City’s continuing participation in an area-wide drug task force protects and promotes the public health, safety and welfare and is therefore beneficial to City residents, businesses, property owners and visitors; and
WHEREAS, the City Council therefore desires to approve the proposed updated intergovernmental agreement by resolution, as required by Section 14.2 of the Wheat Ridge Home Rule Charter.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Wheat

4.6.7. Officers assigned to the Task Force shall be subject to the supervision of the supervisory
and command personnel assigned to the Task Force regardless of which Party assigned the
supervisor or Officer to the Task Force.

Financial Host, as defined herein, by the Federal Government in accordance with the
“Guide to Equitable Sharing of Federally Forfeited Property for State and Law Enforcement
Agencies,” and the policies and procedures of the local offices of the relevant Federal
agencies or departments (“Forfeiture Funds”).
4.7.2. Financial Host. The Jefferson County Sheriff shall act as the Financial Host for the Task
Force. The Financial Host is responsible for applying for, receiving, maintaining and
reporting federal Forfeiture Funds. All Forfeiture Funds received by the Financial Host shall
be maintained in separate revenue accounts or accounting codes by the Financial Host’s
jurisdiction. These funds will be treated in the same manner as appropriated funds,
including procedures for all procurement and approval processes and inclusion in all single
audit requirements by the Financial Host. The Parties agree that Forfeiture Funds are
property of the Financial Host. The Governing Board may, if and when it desires, by
unanimous selection designate a different Financial Host.
4.7.3. Forfeiture Funds awarded to the Financial Host on behalf of the Task Force shall be spent
by direction of the Governing Board. Forfeiture Funds shall first be expended in support of
Task Force operations, such as paying the normal operating expenses of the Task Force,
including, but not limited to; leases, rental of undercover vehicles, training of personnel,
and investigative costs. The Financial Host will not expend funds at the direction of, or for
the sole use of, federal agencies.
4.7.4. The Financial Host will submit the sharing request for all Forfeiture Funds and will receive
and maintain the shared Forfeiture Funds in support of the Task Force, except as otherwise
provided in section 4.7.5 of this Agreement. The Financial Host must be a party to this

the Program guidelines and reporting requirements. The Financial Host may submit one
Equitable Sharing Request form (DAG-71) or Treasury TD F 92-22.46 form (TD F) under
its NCIC code on behalf of the Task Force members. The DAG-71 or TD F form must
include the total workhour and qualitative contributions of all agencies in the investigation.
4.7.5. In the event equitably shared funds received in a fiscal year exceed 115% of the authorized
budget for the Task Force, each Party may submit its own sharing request for subsequent
funds as long as they are Program participants and compliant with the Program guidelines
and reporting requirements. The Party must submit an individual DAG-71 or TD F form
under its own NCIC code. Funds subject to this subparagraph will be distributed based upon
the level of participation by each Party: Each Party will receive one participation credit for
each of its personnel assigned full-time to the Task Force at the time the sharing request is
submitted, including those individuals assigned as Task Force Officers to a Federal Drug
Task Force, except that the District Attorney shall receive 1.5 participation credits, but no
less than 4% of distributed Forfeiture Funds. The total number of participation credits shall
AN AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH THE WEST METRO DRUG TASK FORCE
11-00123 4 of 9

Officers and shall submit the appropriate percentages for distribution based upon current
participation to the Program with each DAG-71 or TD F form.
4.7.6. The agency expending Forfeiture Funds must report the expenditure and maintain
ownership and control of any tangible items. Should the Task Force dissolve or the
Financial Host withdraw, all equipment must be returned to the purchasing agency.
Furthermore, the agency will not expend funds at the direction of or for the sole use of
federal agencies.
4.7.7. Each Party must file an Equitable Sharing Agreement and Certification (ESAC) form to the
United States Department of Justice Asset Forfeiture Program.
4.7.8. Task Force forfeiture funds will be audited on a quarterly basis by accounting personnel
employed by Parties to this Agreement but not employed by the Financial Host. The results
of the audit will be presented to the Governing Board for review. Governing board
members, at their discretion, may elect to conduct an independent audit of the forfeiture
funds.
4.7.9. Forfeitures resulting from seizures of money and/or personal and real property resulting
from any individual Party’s operations outside of the Task Force operations shall not be
considered as Forfeiture Funds for the Task Force and shall be the sole property of the Party
whose operation generated the forfeiture assets.
4.7.10. Nothing herein shall constitute a multiple fiscal year obligation pursuant to Colorado
Constitution Article X, Section 20 and financial obligations of any Party after the current
fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose being appropriated, budgeted, and
otherwise made available by such Party’s governing body.
5. ADDITIONAL PARTIES. Municipalities situated partly or wholly within Jefferson County who
wish to join this Agreement may do so by an amendment to this Agreement executed by each Party.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall take effect upon its execution by all Parties and
continue indefinitely until terminated as provided herein.
6.1. Any Party may terminate its participation in this Agreement with or without cause upon 30 days
prior written notice to each of the other Parties. Any such termination shall terminate the
obligations of the withdrawing Party only.
6.2. The Parties may agree by unanimous vote of the Governing Board to terminate the Task Force,
with written notice provided to each Party. Upon termination of the Task Force, any Forfeiture
Funds remaining after payment of all Task Force obligations shall become property of the
Financial Host.

which they may otherwise have access, except as may be required by law.

hereunder.
8.7. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties, their respective
legal representative, successors, heirs, and assigns, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall

conditions of this Agreement that require continued performance or compliance beyond the
AN AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH THE WEST METRO DRUG TASK FORCE
11-00123 6 of 9
termination or expiration of this Agreement shall survive such termination or expiration and shall
be enforceable against a Party if such Party fails to perform or comply with such term or condition.
8.9. The failure of a Party to enforce any right arising under this Agreement on one or more
occasions will not operate as a waiver of that or any other right on that or any other occasion.
8.10. It is expressly understood and agreed that enforcement of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and all right of action relating to such enforcement shall be strictly reserved to the
Parties and nothing contained in this Agreement shall give or allow any such claim or right of

Chief of Police City Manager
ISSUE: Currently the Wheat Ridge Police Department is not equipped to perform computer forensic examinations on computers that may contain evidence of criminality. When such examinations
are needed, the department has very limited options. None of these options present a level of service commensurate with that which the department strives to provide. Further, all of these options require some measure of control over the criminal investigation to be ceded to another organization or authority outside the control of the Wheat Ridge Police Department. PRIOR ACTION: Council has not taken prior action on this issue. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no financial impact to the City of Wheat Ridge. The United States Secret Service
provides equipment, training, and pays associated costs.
BACKGROUND: Membership in the Colorado Electronic Crimes Task Force will grant the department access to computer forensic resources in place with other members, as well as queue the

Page 2 organization to obtain training and equipment provided and paid for by the United States Secret Service.
Membership in the CECTF requires only a commitment of time from Wheat Ridge Police, all training and equipment costs are paid for entirely by USSS. At fruition, the commitment of the agency to the program would be to assist other agencies periodically with their computer forensic imaging needs, and to commit to assist the USSS for a period of three years with their
investigational needs in the event of a large-scale cyber-attack against a sector of Colorado’s
critical infrastructure. An internal review of the need for, and potential use of, a program of this nature was conducted. Using historical data, numerous past cases were identified wherein a program such as this would
have increased the efficiency of the investigations bureau and provided an increased level of
customer service to the citizens we serve. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that City Council approve Membership in the Colorado Electronic Crimes
Task Force.

WHEREAS, pursuant to C.R.S. § 29-1-203, the City is authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with other governmental entities to provide and receive certain functions and services; and
WHEREAS, the United States Secret Service (USSS) has proposed a

WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the potential reimbursement of such costs
and expenses is wise to authorize and pursue, even if federal funding is not guaranteed, and therefore wishes to approve the MOU; and
WHEREAS, Section 14.2 of the Wheat Ridge Home Rule Charter authorizes the Council, acting by resolution or ordinance, to enter into agreements with other
governmental units for the furnishing and receiving of commodities and services.

ATTACHMENT 1
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE AND THE UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado (“City”) and its Police Department and the United States Secret Service (USSS) enter into this memorandum of understanding (MOU), which becomes effective with the signatures of both parties and remains in effect until terminated by the mutual agreement of the City and the USSS or upon 30 day written
notice by either party to this agreement. This MOU does not supersede a previous agreement.
I. AUTHORITY
This MOU is established pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section 3056 and provisions of Public Law 107-56, Title I, Section 105, the Uniting and Strengthening of America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism
(USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001. This act directed the USSS to take appropriate actions to
expand the national network of Electronic Crimes Task Forces (ECTF) throughout the United States.
Additionally, this MOU is established pursuant to provisions of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund Act of 1992, 31 USC 9703, as amended. This act established the Department of the
Treasury Forfeiture Fund and authorized the payment of certain overtime expenditures,
travel, fuel, training, equipment and other similar costs of State and Local law enforcement officers, that are involved in joint operations, with a Department of the Treasury law enforcement organization, as prescribed in 31 USC 9703 (a)(1)(I) (hereinafter “overtime costs and other expenses”).
II. PURPOSE
This MOU establishes the procedures and responsibilities of both the Wheat Ridge Police
Department and the USSS for the reimbursement of certain overtime costs and other expenses pursuant to 31 USC 9703. In addition, this MOU articulates the USSS’s preference that Wheat Ridge Police Department personnel who are trained and equipped at the National Computer Forensic Institute (NCFI) be made available for a three (3) year period to assist the USSS in the event of a large-scale cyber attack against a sector of the
Critical Infrastructure within their state.
III. BACKGROUND
While the Secret Service leads this innovative effort, the agency believes in partnerships with strong emphasis on prevention and education, in addition to traditional law enforcement measures. The Secret Service will combine with other task force partners to provide resources and investigative techniques to the ECTF mission, as well as
facilitating and administering task force operations. Other law enforcement agencies
bring additional criminal enforcement jurisdiction, resources, manpower, and expertise to
ATTACHMENT 2
the ECTF mission. Representatives from private industry and academia also enhance the
mission by bringing a wealth of technical expertise and research capabilities.
The Colorado Electronic Crimes Task Force (CECTF) mission is to establish a strategic alliance of Federal, State, and Local law enforcement agencies, private sector technical experts, prosecutors, academic institutions, and private industry in order to confront and suppress technology-based criminal activity that endangers the integrity of our Nation’s
financial payment systems and poses threats against our Nation’s critical infrastructure.
The ultimate goal of the CECTF is to provide a productive framework and collaborative crime-fighting environment in which the resources of its participants can be combined to effectively and efficiently to make a significant impact on electronic (cyber) crimes.
IV. RESPONSIBILITIES
The parties agree to the following conditions:
(a) The Wheat Ridge Police Department may request reimbursement of payment of
overtime costs and other expenses directly related to work performed by its officer(s) assigned to assist the U.S. Secret Service’s CECTF in conducting official investigations. The Wheat Ridge Police Department will submit all requests for reimbursement payments, together with appropriate documentation,
to the U.S. Secret Service’s CECTF Supervisor. Request for reimbursement will
be based solely upon overtime worked and other expenses performed on behalf of the U.S. Secret Service’s CECTF.
(b) All reimbursement hours of overtime costs and all other expenses covered under this MOU must be approved and certified by the U.S. Secret Service CECTF
supervisor. The reimbursable overtime payments will be based upon the actual
hourly overtime rate, exclusive of matching employer contributions for any taxes or benefits.
(c) The U.S. Secret Service CECTF supervisor will forward all approved reimbursement requests through the Special Agent in Charge (SAIC) Criminal
Investigative Division, Office of Investigations, to the Treasury Forfeiture Fund’s
payment agent, the U.S. Customs National Finance Center (NFC).
(d) During the period of assignment to the CECTF, the Wheat Ridge Police Department will remain responsible for establishing the salary and benefits, including overtime of the officer(s) assigned to the Task Force and making all
payments due them. Reimbursement under this MOU is contingent upon the
availability of mandatory funds allocated to the U.S. Secret Service through the Department of the Treasury Forfeiture fund.
(e) The Wheat Ridge Police Department shall permit and have readily available for examination and auditing by the U.S. Secret Service, the Department of Treasury,
the Comptroller of the United States, and any of their duly authorized agents and
representatives, any and all records, documents, accounts, invoices, receipts or
expenditures relating to this agreement. They shall maintain all such records and
reports until all audits and examinations are completed and resolved, or for a
period of three (3) years, whichever is sooner.
(f) Payments may be made to the extent they are included in the U.S. Secret Service Fiscal Year Plan and the monies are available within the Department of Treasury Forfeiture Fund to satisfy the request(s) for reimbursable expenses. It should also
be understood that the total amount(s) made available to the U.S. Secret Service
through the Department of the Treasury Forfeiture Fund, for reimbursement to the Wheat Ridge Police Department, could change at any time.
(g) Pursuant to the Treasury Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture (TEOAF) directive number 18, the maximum reimbursement entitlement for overtime costs to any
one law enforcement official cannot exceed fifteen-thousand ($15,000.00) dollars
during the fiscal year.
(h) This document does not obligate funds. Funding authority will be provided through other documents.
(i) The Wheat Ridge Police Department shall provide the U.S. Secret Service within
10 days of the signing of this MOU, with their agency’s mailing address, contact
name, telephone number and tax identification number. Further, this agency must provide the name, account number and ABA routing number of the financial institution where the Wheat Ridge Police Department wants the Electronic Funds transfer (EFT) payment deposited for the reimbursement of overtime salary costs.
Failure to provide this information within the prescribed period of time will
nullify this MOU agreement.
(j) The Wheat Ridge Police Department is strongly encouraged to make its personnel who are trained and equipped at the National Computer Forensic Institute (NCFI) available to assist the USSS in the event of a large-scale cyber attack against a
sector of the Critical Infrastructure within their state. The USSS contemplates
that Wheat Ridge Police Department will provide this assistance for a period of at least three (3) years after its employee completes his NCFI training.

QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
_______________________________ ______________________________
Parks and Recreation Director City Manager ISSUE: The City has the opportunity to sell the vacant parcel of park property located on the southwest
corner of 38th Avenue and Johnson Street for the development of a CVS Pharmacy. This parcel was not originally developed as part of Discovery Park due to: 1. Maximizing efficient use of site to meet the goals of the Park Master Plan; and
2. The site’s proximity to the Appleridge Café, currently located on the southeast corner of
38th Avenue and Kipling Street. (Aerial photo attached)
The City Charter requires a unanimous vote of city council to dispose of park property. The Wheat Ridge Charter addresses the disposal of park land in Section 16.5.
“The city shall not sell or dispose of municipally owned buildings or real property for a public purpose, without first obtaining the approval, by ordinance, of three-fourths of the entire council. Unanimous approval of the entire council, by ordinance, shall be necessary for sale or disposition of designated park land.”
Council Action Form - Park Land Sale
December 10, 2018
Page 2 PRIOR ACTION: At the May 10, 2018 study session, this item was presented. City Council reached a consensus to
continue to move forward on the disposal of the park property. On May 10, 2010 City Council approved the sale of a portion of park property to the south of the Appleridge Café to address the issues with café site parking needs. At that time, the following
information was provided to Council as part of the Park Master Plan adoption action:
“The park master plan was designed to achieve a win-win situation with the existing restaurant business located on the corner. The plan identifies the northeast corner of the parkland as an area for future development. The restaurant
property owner at this time does not wish to purchase the entire 0.85 acres. A lot
will be platted for future sale when, and if, the restaurant property re-develops. This park parcel will remain vacant in the future to allow for future development, sale and or lot consolidation with the restaurant property.”
City Council approved a resolution to obtain an appraisal on the applicable portion of
park property adjacent to the Appleridge Café on August 28, 2008. City Council approved the transfer of the reverter clause from this park parcel to the Baugh House property on September 28, 2009 as one of the required steps to allow for the future disposal of the park property.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: An appraisal was completed on the property in March 2017 and has been updated. In March of 2017 the City and developer agreed on the 2017 appraised price as a basis for moving forward with the development of the property.
The parcel is 0.5 acres in size and the appraised price, when consolidated with the adjacent lot, was $600,000 in 2017. The updated appraisal information documents the value of the property at $650,000. The land that is now Discovery Park, including this parcel was purchased with the City’s attributable share of Open Space Funds and Jefferson County Bond Funds. Jefferson
County Open Space does not have a financial interest in the property due to the removal of the
reverter clause encumbrance on this portion of the park property. The original purchase price for the entire 8 acre site that is now Discovery Park, including the undeveloped area under discussion for sale, was $1,245,500.
All proceeds from the sale of the property are required to be placed in the Open Space Fund 32
for park and recreation purposes due to the fact that open space funds were used to originally purchase the property. The funds from the sale of this park property would be used for construction of Phase II of Prospect Park Renovation. Phase I has been completed, Phase II is on hold due to the additional funding required for the Anderson Park Renovation that was originally
slated for Phase II of the Prospect Park Renovation.
Council Action Form - Park Land Sale
December 10, 2018
Page 3 BACKGROUND (PARK): The Master Plan for the park was developed with the consideration that the corner parcel, when
combined with the Appleridge Restaurant site provided opportunity for future commercial development. Thus, in 2008 the City Council approved the rezoning of the property to Planned Commercial Development, it was the intent this property would eventually develop as a commercial venture. This action was viewed as a compromise in the community since
Discovery Park was constructed on property that originally had the potential for commercial
development. Construction of the park was completed in 2010. The park meets the needs of the community through the amenities and facilities in the park. These include a skate park, a variety of play
structures, a splash pad, picnic shelters, walking trails and athletic practice fields. There is
adequate parking to support these activities. This portion of the site is not required to meet any future park development needs. On October 17, 2018, the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Commission was presented
information regarding the sale of the excess park property. The Committee voted 2-2-1 on the
sale of the vacant parcel. BACKGROUND (CVS): In early 2017, CVS, through their representative AJ Barbato, approached the City regarding the
development of the above stated parcels for the development of a new CVS Pharmacy. Barbato
stated that negotiations were underway with the owner of the Appleridge Café for acquisition and potential relocation of the café. Appleridge was willing to have their site acquired as long as an adequate new site, within the same geographical area could be identified for relocation.
In order to develop the new CVS, the developer would also need to acquire the vacant parcel to
the east of the café. This parcel is owned by the City of Wheat Ridge and under the control of the Parks and Recreation Department. The Department has identified this parcel as a remnant piece of land that is not needed to meet current or future park needs.
The City requested the developer initiate an appraisal for the land value and purchase price. The
initial appraisal was completed on March 26, 2017 by Mac Taggart & Mosier, Inc. which created a market value estimate for standalone secondary commercial premise at $400,000 and an assemblage to the full development of the CVS at $600,000. The developer agreed to pay the appraised amount.
During this period, the developer was able to identify a parcel that was suitable for the Appleridge café relocation. The developer went under contract to obtain the site located directly south of the Recreation Center on Kipling, just north of the lot currently under redevelopment for the Circle K convenience station. The developer entered into negotiations with the owner of the
café for acquisition and relocation. The negotiations were completed in early summer 2018.
Council Action Form - Park Land Sale
December 10, 2018
Page 4 Because it had been over a year since the completion of the initial appraisal, the City requested a
new appraisal based on current conditions. The second appraisal was conducted by the same
firm who identified the standalone value at $450,000 and the market value estimate for the assemblage at $650,000. In the letter attached to this report, CVS has agreed to purchase the vacant site at the most recent appraised value of $650,000.
CVS anticipates requesting the use of tax increment financing (TIF) available through the Wheat
Ridge Urban Renewal Authority (Authority). At this time, the amount of TIF is still being calculated through a pro forma which will be evaluated by the Authority. If any portion of sales tax will be utilized in the TIF, the Council will be asked to adopt a resolution approving a Cooperation Agreement with the Authority.
CVS anticipates the construction of a building just over 13,000 square feet with a drive-thru pharmacy. The new Appleridge Café will be approximately 3,000 square feet. TRAFFIC: A formal site plan has not been submitted by the developer, but it is anticipated they will seek:
• A right-in, right-out access point along Kipling Street (CDOT approval required)
• Full access onto Johnson Street
• A right-in, right out movement along West 38th Avenue The City requested of CVS to provide some anticipated traffic flows from the site. The attached letter is not a full traffic study, but only a study based on International Transportation Engineers (ITE) figures from the Trip Generation Manual. If the project moves forward, a full traffic study
will be commissioned. The attached letter from Kimley Horn provides trip generation estimates between the development of both pads for a CVS, compared to the development of both pads with the existing Appleridge Café at its existing site and a fast food establishment with a drive-thru on the
vacant pad. The ITE data shows a combined Appleridge and fast food restaurant would generate approximately 1,752 daily vehicle trips while a standalone CVS would create 1,432 trips, a difference of 320 less trips. The distribution of the traffic was not analyzed. PROCESS: If the Council approves the ordinance, as conditions of the sale and prior to the initiation of construction, TMC Colorado would be required to close on its purchase of the Café property, a purchase and sale agreement between TMC Colorado and the City must be signed, and the property would need to be consolidated with the Café property under a consolidation plat. The final development will also require the site to meet all the
building codes of the City and adhere to the Architectural Site Design Manual. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends the sale of the excess property for the following reasons:
Council Action Form - Park Land Sale
December 10, 2018
Page 5 1. The land in question is excess property and is not part of any future development
plans of Discovery Park and was rezoned in 2008 to Planned Commercial
Development.
2. The sale will provide an additional $650,000 to the Parks and Recreation Department for improvements to Prospect Park.
3. If the sale were to not occur, the vacant land has no market value as a ‘stand-
alone’ parcel for commercial development.
4. The restaurant on the adjoining parcel is over 50-years old and the owner of the Appleridge Café desires the relocation of the restaurant.
5. The development of a CVS Pharmacy will provide additional sales tax revenues.
6. Traffic patterns indicate that vehicular movement will exit onto 38th Avenue from
Johnson Street.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve Council Bill No. 34-2018, an ordinance approving the sale of designated park land at the intersection of West 38th Avenue and Johnson Street, and in connection
therewith, authorizing execution of an agreement for said sale on second reading and that it takes
effect fifteen (15) days after final publication. Or,
“I move to postpone indefinitely Council Bill No. 34-2018, an ordinance approving the sale of

City of Wheat Ridge 7500 West 29th Avenue
Wheat Ridge, CO 80033
Attn.: Steve Art, Executive Director of the
Urban Renewal Authority
Dear Mr. Art:
You are in receipt of an appraisal of the land east of the
southeast corner of 38th Avenue at Kipling Street prepared March
31, 2017 with an effective date of March 26, 2017. The purpose
of the inspection was to estimate the market value of the fee
simple estate in this property in its “as is” condition. The
intended use of the appraisal report is to serve as a basis for
pricing the property for disposal. The City is the client and the
sole intended user of that appraisal report. At its discretion,
the prospective buyer, its attorney and accounting professional
may be included as additional intended users. In that appraisal I
estimated the value of the land in the standalone secondary
commercial premise to be $400,000 and the value in an assemblage
to the corner premise to be $600,000.
This letter is an update to the original appraisal. It
carries an effective date of August 8, 2018, the most recent date
of inspection, has the intended use of establishing a basis for
ATTACHMENT 4
Mr. Steve Art City of Wheat Ridge
August 15, 2018 Page 2
pricing the property for disposal, and is prepared for the same
intended user, namely the City of Wheat Ridge.
The sections of the original appraisal report that are
updated, or are not changed but warrant emphasis, follow.
OWNERSHIP AND SALES HISTORY
The ownership has not changed and the owner is still the City
of Wheat Ridge. It is still not under contract but the agent for
CVS drug stores is proposing to buy the property. I have not been
informed as to the asking price or offered amount in relation to
this prospective sale.
TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
The land is valued at $8,155 for 2017 taxes payable in 2018,
and it remains $8,155 for 2018 taxes payable in 2019.
HIGHEST AND BEST USE
The highest and best use as a standalone site remains as an
office or secondary commercial use. Combined with the corner
site, the highest and best use as assembled is still for a high-
intensity retail commercial use.
SALES COMPARISON APPROACH
A new search for comparable sales of secondary commercial
sites reveals three new sales, Sale Nos. 7, 8 and 9 cited with the
original six sales below.

Sale Nos. 1 through 6 are the sales from the original report
with only a modification for the listing is now a sale in Sale No.
1. Sale Nos. 7 through 9 are new sales generated for this update
of the appraisal. All the sales are processed like they were
through the original appraisal, including the application of a 10%
per year time adjustment to all the sales to bring them to the
current date. The adjustment grid that follows develops value
indications from $14.21 to $19.36 per square foot. Weighting the
new sales the most, the weighted average is $17.06 per square
foot.
It is important to note that the new sales indicate a lower
value than the six sales from the original report. Two reasons
explain this phenomenon. The new sales are generally in more
marginal retail areas, and although adjustment for location has
brought them more in line, the adjustment may have not been
enough. And the time adjustment for the original sales at 10% per
year for as long as three years results in hefty adjustments to
the original sales. Property appreciation can have waned in the
last year and a half, but in other segments of the Denver land
market I have observed spikes in land prices and I reject a lower
time adjustment. The best way to reflect the softening land
appreciation, if that is what is happening, is to place a greater
weight on the newer sales. Ranking the sales in descending order,
with the newer sales carrying the greatest weight, the weighted
average is $17.06, calculating a value estimate of ($17.06 per
square foot X 25,378 square feet = ) $432,949, rounded to:

PREMIUM FOR ASSEMBLAGE
Because the highest and best use is for assemblage to the
corner to create a retail site for a national retailer, the
value of the subject is influenced by: its proximity to the
corner; the lack of adequate size of land at the corner for a
national chain retail site; and the lack of other possibilities
to acquire the necessary land. A premium over and above its
value as a standalone secondary commercial site is warranted.
The following sales are presented to demonstrate the going rate
for corner locations for national retailers to construct new
facilities. Sale Nos. 10 through 13 are from the original
report, and Sale No. 14 was added for this update. The range is
from $21.96 to $37.64 per square foot before adjustments. After
making transactional adjustments (in this case just for time)
the prices are $23.66 to $46.32 per square foot. The value of
the assembled site of 52,036 square feet is from $30.00 to
$35.00 per square foot, or between $1,230,000 to $1,820,000,
rounded.

These sales are not used to directly value the subject
site. The subject has no frontage or exposure to the major
thoroughfare. But assembled to the corner, it takes on the
characteristics of the larger corner site. These sales
represent the maximum amount of value the subject site could
obtain were it included with the corner site. To build a free-
standing retail store about 50,000 square feet of land area is
necessary and the corner has 26,658 square feet. The subject
site (25,378 square feet) is necessary to assemble to the corner
to achieve this size necessary for national retail development.
This puts the subject property in an advantageous negotiating
position, and the premium for assemblage will be substantial.
Sale No. 9 presented earlier is a new sale for this update
and is cited at the first sale as a standalone site, selling for
$15.30 per square foot. In the second sale two days later, it
sold for $19.05 to the owner of the adjacent office building for
parking. This is an increment of ($19.05 per square foot /
$15.30 per square foot = ) 1.245, or 25% for assemblage.
Sale No. 15, cited below, is the anatomy of a commercial
land assemblage for a self-storage facility in Arvada. The
assemblage of the site is summarized:

LAYOUT OF SELF-STORAGE FACILITY SITE.
The assemblage was accomplished in three parts: the
original purchase at a discounted price from the Urban Renewal
Authority; then a nearly simultaneous purchase over one year
later of a restaurant (a large critical part of the assemblage)
and an office building (a smaller part of the assemblage that
enhances the layout and density but is not vital to the
project). The discounted price of the original purchase makes
it feasible to buy improved property and spend money on
demolition. But taken altogether, the assembled price of $24.10
is more than the price paid for other self-storage sites on the
Mr. Steve Art City of Wheat Ridge
August 15, 2018 Page 10
West Side of town. Because the base for measuring assemblage
premium is skewed so low (the Urban Renewal price) a premium for
assemblage cannot be measured. But it is clear from the price
paid for the office building ($99.16 per square foot of land
area) that the premium is extraordinarily high. Stated another
way, the assemblage of the Urban Renewal site and the adjacent
restaurant cost $830,000 for 77,324 square feet, or $10.73 per
square foot of land. Adding the last 13,765 square feet of land
with the office building, the cost skyrockets to $2,195,000 or
$24.10 per square foot of land. The addition of 18% more land
area added 164% to the assembled Urban Renewal site and the
restaurant site to make the three-parcel assemblage.
From a 25% premium as measured by Sale No. 9 to
unquantified but exorbitant premium as measured by Sale No. 15,
a 50% premium used in the original appraisal is justified. The
value of the subject property in the assemblage to the corner
premise is ($17.06 per square foot standalone premise X 1.5
assemblage premium = $25.59 per square foot assembled to the
corner X 25,378 square feet = ) $649,423, rounded to:

Re: SEC 38th & Kipling Redevelopment Trip Generation Comparison Letter
Dear Mr. Art:
This letter documents a comparison of trip generation of a proposed redevelopment to occur on the southeast corner of the 38th Avenue and Kipling Street intersection in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Apple Ridge Café exists directly on this corner, and a vacant parcel is located to the east of this existing restaurant. A redevelopment is proposed which would include
replacing the existing restaurant and vacant parcel with a proposed approximate 13,111 square foot pharmacy with drive-through window.
Apple Ridge Café is approximately 3,000 square feet. It is believed that the existing vacant parcel to the east could and would likely otherwise develop into a 3,000-square foot fast food restaurant with drive through if this redevelopment project were not to occur. Therefore, a trip generation comparison between the existing 3,000 square foot Apple Ridge Café sit down restaurant and possible adjacent 3,000 square foot fast food restaurant with drive through was compared to a pharmacy with drive through use.
Site-generated traffic estimates are determined through a process known as trip generation. Rates and equations are applied to the existing and proposed land uses to estimate traffic
generated by the development during a specific time interval. The acknowledged source for trip generation rates is the Trip Generation Manual1 published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). ITE has established trip rates in nationwide studies of
similar land uses. Trip generation was based on the ITE Trip Generation, 10th Edition (most current edition) average rate equations for high-turnover sit-down restaurant (ITE Code 932) for the Apple Ridge Café restaurant, fast-food restaurant with drive-through (ITE Code 934)
for the adjacent vacant parcel to represent development potential, and Pharmacy/Drugstore with Drive-Through Window (ITE Code 881) for this proposed redevelopment project to
provide a comparative analysis.
The following table summarizes the anticipated trip generation for the proposed 13,111 square foot pharmacy with drive through window compared with the existing 3,000 square foot Apple Ridge Café restaurant and possible adjacent 3,000 square foot fast food restaurant with drive-through window (trip generation calculations are attached).

As summarized in the table, the currently proposed redevelopment of the southeast corner
of the 38th Avenue and Kipling Street intersection to a pharmacy with drive through would be anticipated to generate 1,432 daily weekday trips with 50 trips occurring during morning peak hour, and 136 trips occurring during the afternoon peak hour based on ITE equations
and data. Based on the ITE equations for the existing Apple Ridge Café sit-down restaurant and a possible adjacent fast food restaurant with drive through, the proposed pharmacy redevelopment is anticipated to generate less traffic over an average weekday and during the morning peak hour, with slightly more traffic generated during the afternoon peak hour. The change in use is anticipated to account for a decrease of approximately 320 daily trips, a decrease of 101 trips in the morning peak hour, and an increase of 9 trips during the afternoon peak hour. Important to note, it is believed that the traffic generated by the existing Apple Ridge Café may be greater than the volumes predicted from the ITE equations due to the known busyness of the restaurant and the amount of parking provided
on site.
In summary, this traffic study letter provides a trip generation comparison for a proposed
pharmacy with drive through redevelopment to be located on the southeast corner of the 38th Avenue and Kipling Street intersection in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. The redevelopment is anticipated to decrease daily and morning peak hour traffic, but only slightly increase traffic to the project site during the afternoon peak hour.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: MOTION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AND APPROVE SUBSEQUENT PAYMENTS TO HDR ENGINEERING, INC., DENVER, CO, IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,344,394.91 FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR ROW ACQUISITION SERVICES FOR THE WADSWORTH BOULEVARD
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING
BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO
__________________________ ______________________________ Director of Public Works City Manager ISSUE: In April 2015 the City was awarded funding through the Denver Regional Council of
Governments (DRCOG) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to improve Wadsworth Boulevard from 35th Avenue to 48th Avenue. The Environmental Assessment (EA) is currently being reviewed and is expected to be finalized in early 2019. Preliminary and final design has begun and is expected to be completed in early 2020.
The project also includes a significant number of right-of-way (ROW) acquisitions. Professional
ROW acquisition services are required to complete those acquisitions.
PRIOR ACTION: On October 12, 2015, the Council adopted the Planning and Environmental Linkage Study (PEL) that identified traffic congestion and safety issues, developed multi-modal solutions, and
identified related environmental issues and mitigation measures that needed further assessment.
Council Action Form – Wadsworth ROW Acquisition Services
December 10, 2018
Page 2 Also on October 12, 2015, an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with CDOT was approved by
Council, authorizing the environmental, design, and ROW acquisition phases.
On March 28, 2016, Council approved a contract with HDR to complete Phase I, the survey, conceptual (30%) design and plans, and prepare the Environmental Assessment (EA). In 2017, additional work was identified involving the historical status of several properties along the Wadsworth Corridor. Amendments to the HDR contract were approved by Council on May 22,
2017 and November 13, 2017.
On August 27, 2018, Council approved a contract with HDR to continue to work on the project to complete the preliminary and final design, including the preparation of construction plans and obtaining necessary State and Federal approvals.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: In April 2015, the City was awarded a grant in the amount $31.6 million through the DRCOG
Transportation Improvement Program. The City’s required local match for that grant is $6,320,000. In early 2017, the City was awarded a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant for $2,600,000 to construct the medians with a federal share of $2,340,000. CDOT is covering the local match of $260,000 because Wadsworth Boulevard is a state highway.
CDOT has also committed to providing $4,100,000 in additional funding that was previously
programed for maintenance on this portion of Wadsworth Boulevard.
The original HDR contract included a 10% contingency that was used to analyze and incorporate the Continuous Flow Intersections (CFI) into the design. In addition to the two historical related contract amendments that Council approved during Phase I, City staff has administratively
approved two smaller amendments for HDR to complete an application for a Federal TIGER
grant and also to perform value engineering during Phase I, rather than waiting for Phase II. The HDR contracts and amendments are as follows:
Original Phase I Contract $1,200,164.20 Council CFI Intersections $120,000.00 Original contract contingency
TIGER grant application $40,000.00 Administrative
Historical evaluations $179,984.46 Council Historical evaluations $269,922.12 Council Value Engineering $49,620.58 Administrative Phase II Contract $2,144,930.12 Council
Total HDR contract $4,004,621.48
In late November 2018, City staff administratively approved an early action $72,600 scope and fee with HDR to order the required 66 title commitments. Obtaining title commitments is a long lead item and must be completed before most other acquisition work can be done.
Proposed funding for ROW acquisition for the project is budgeted over several years in both the
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and 2E Bond Fund.
Council Action Form – Wadsworth ROW Acquisition Services
December 10, 2018
Page 3 BACKGROUND: In October 2014, the City applied to DRCOG for federal transportation funds available for fiscal
years 2016 through 2021 to help fund a widening and improvement project on Wadsworth Boulevard from 35th Avenue to 48th Avenue. DRCOG awarded a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) grant in October 2014.
The improvement of this segment of Wadsworth Boulevard has been a high priority for both
CDOT and the City of Wheat Ridge for more than 20 years. Lack of available funding has been
the primary reason for postponing improvements. With an earlier grant, a Planning and Environmental Linkage Study (PEL) was completed and adopted by Council on October 12, 2015. That study identified traffic congestion and safety issues, developed multi-modal solutions, and identified related environmental issues and mitigation measures that needed
further assessment. The Final Recommended Alternative (FRA) from the PEL study identified
the improvements needed to widen Wadsworth Boulevard between 35th and 48th Avenues to six travel lanes, to provide additional turning capacity at the key congested intersections at 38th and 44th Avenues, and install medians to better manage access. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities were also included to add facilities for additional modes of transportation.
On March 28, 2016, Council approved a contract with HDR to complete the survey, conceptual
(30%) design and plans, and prepare the Environmental Assessment (EA), which is the federally required process to approve a final roadway design. The consultant team, City staff, and CDOT started working to investigate and resolve issues identified in the PEL. In particular, the need to improve the traffic capacity at the major intersections of 38th Avenue and 44th Avenues was
addressed further.
Most of the elements from the FRA were kept and have moved forward through the EA process; however, a couple of major items were changed or added. In response to needing additional capacity at the 38th and 44th Avenue intersections, the design of those intersections was changed from a traditional signalized design with double left turn lanes on all four legs of the intersection,
to CFIs. The CFI intersection designs were determined to be a better solution to increase
capacity and have the least impact to adjacent parcels. Also a pedestrian connection was added to the Clear Creek Trail on the east side. These changes were included in the update to Council at the March 20, 2017 Study Session.
An update on the environmental process was provided to the Council at the April 16, 2018 Study
Session. The Value Engineering (VE) workshop held in May 2018 was also discussed. The
results of the VE workshop were then discussed with Council at the June 4, 2018 Study Session. The VE workshop outcomes that were accepted to move forward were to replace the sidewalk/2-way cycle track with a combined wide multi-use path, reduce the median and amenity zone widths, revise the access at 47th/48th Avenues, and revise the retaining wall design at the north
end of the project. The VE workshop is required for projects that receive federal funding that
have a total cost exceeding $40 million.
The draft EA has been reviewed and approved by CDOT staff and was recently submitted to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for review and approval. The EA is expected to be
Council Action Form – Wadsworth ROW Acquisition Services
December 10, 2018
Page 4 finalized in early 2019, with a public hearing being held in late February 2019. The decision
document, which is expected to be a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), will follow soon
after with approval expected in June 2019.
The preliminary design has started with an internal kick-off meeting held with City and consultant staff on November 9, 2018. An official kick-off with CDOT staff will be held on December 11, 2018.
Award of the third and final phase of the project, construction assistance, will be presented to
Council for approval at a later date. The City retains the option to continue working with the awarded firm, HDR Engineering, Inc., for Phase III with the scope and fee being negotiated at that time.
HDR was recently selected by the City’s established procurement process to perform the
required ROW acquisition professional services. The selection process included review of
proposals in response to a request for qualifications by an evaluation committee. Staff negotiated with HDR to finalize the scope and fees for the anticipated work.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The consultant selection, based on qualifications, project approach, and experience on similar
projects and services, is consistent with the City’s standard procurement policy and process for
professional services for ROW acquisition. Appropriate fees for the work were then negotiated in accordance with the specific tasks and services needed. Staff recommends award of the ROW Acquisition Consultant Contract to HDR Engineering, Inc.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to award a contract and approve subsequent payments to HDR Engineering, Inc.,
Denver, CO, in the amount of $1,344,394.91 for professional services for ROW acquisition services for the Wadsworth Boulevard Improvement Project.”

RE: Modified Scope of Work and Fee Proposal for Right-of-Way Services for
Wadsworth Widening: West 35th Avenue to I-70
Dear Mark,
This letter follows yesterday’s telephone conference. One November 16, 2018, we submitted
a scope of work and fee estimate for Right of Way Services for Wheat Ridge’s project
widening Wadsworth, from W. 35th Avenue to I-70 for two scenarios: (i) one that assumes
three full acquisitions ($1,296,359 total fee), and (ii) one that assumes eight full acquisitions
($1,416,995 total fee). The projected time frame for a notice to proceed on a contract for
these services is January 2019. As detailed in a separate letter to you of today’s date, this
previously submitted a scope of work and fee estimate for Right of Way Services for the
Wadsworth project will be reduced by $72,600 to allow for an early action administrative
approval contract to order title commitments. After this $72,600 deduction, we are
providing a modified scope of work and fee proposal for the two scenarios as follows: (i) the
one that assumes three full acquisitions has been reduced to $1,223,759, and (ii) the one
that assumes eight full acquisitions has been reduced to $1,344,395. Such modified scopes
of work and fee proposals are attached
Changes between the attached scopes of work and the scopes submitted on November 16,
2018, appear in the assumptions to Task 2.2 on pages 4 and 5 of the scopes of work.
Changes between the attached fee proposals and the fee proposals submitted on November
16 appear under 4.A Outside Services Rates (Subconsultants). The fee for title companies is
now $26,400.

SECTION 1: PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Wheat Ridge (City) has been working for several years to improve SH 121 / Wadsworth
Boulevard (Wadsworth). In 2015, they produced a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study for
the portion of Wadsworth Boulevard from West 35th Avenue to I-70. Also in 2015, the City secured a
DRCOG TIP grant providing the majority of the funding for construction and executed an
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with CDOT outlining the framework for reconstruction of Wadsworth.
A major part of the project is to reconstruct Wadsworth to a 6-lane section, provide better multimodal
facilities, and provide enhanced amenity zones along the corridor (Project). A template Environmental
Assessment (EA) is in process. Conceptual level design of the Project has been completed. Preliminary
design has begun. Final design, 100% Advertisement Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) for the
project advertisement, bidding assistance and Design Services During Construction (DSDC) will follow.
Significant right of way (ROW) acquisition and relocation is needed for the project. Initial estimates
indicate that ROW acquisition will be needed from 64 ownerships. Eight (8) of these are identified as full
acquisitions in the draft EA, however only three (3) of the eight (8) are definitely full acquisitions. This
scope of work assumes three full acquisitions. Two businesses will be displaced by the full
acquisitions (one full acquisition is not improved or occupied) and one resident will be displaced by one of
the partial acquisitions. This scope of work assumes two business relocations, one residential relocation,
and ten (10) personal property only relocations. This scope of work is for HDR and its subconsultants
(ROW Team) to define, value and purchase the ROW needed for the Project and the relocate the
businesses, resident and personal property displaced by some of the acquisitions.
The ROW Team will provide the work described in this document.
PROJECT GOALS
The goals of the ROW acquisition for the Project are to timely acquire the ROW needed for the project
and conduct required relocations to support the preconstruction schedule while providing considerate
treatment to affected property owners and displaced occupants.
PROJECT LIMITS
Wadsworth from 35th Ave to I-70 interchange
WORK DURATION
The primary time period for the work is estimated to begin in January 2019 and end by a ROW clearance
in January 2020. An additional time period from January 2020 may be needed to resolve acquisitions
through condemnation, if needed. The estimated time period for the extension is through January 2021.

This Task is to coordination efforts to plan and retain qualified subconsultant appraisal firms to deliver
agency appraisals. Appraisals will be prepared in compliance with generally accepted standards of
appraisal practice, the URA and CDOT policies and procedures.
HDR will utilize property data and information from field inspections (Task 4.1) to bundle appraisals into
groups based on acquisition priority, property characteristics and potential damages. HDR will review
proposed bundles with City of Wheat Ridge for allocation of appraisal bundles to subconsultant
appraisers. Upon approval of appraisal bundles, HDR will solicit proposals from appraisal
subconsultants.
Upon receipt of appraisal proposals, HDR will review proposals and provide summary of proposals and
agency appraisal costs to the City. HDR will coordinate with the City of Wheat Ridge to determine award
of appraisal bundles. HDR will prepare subconsultant agreements and finalized scopes of service, issue
appraisal awards to appraisal subconsultants and contract with them.
HDR will issue notice to proceed to appraisers, provide current authorized plans and legal descriptions,
title commitments and sign cost estimates as identified in section 4.3. HDR will follow up on delivery of
draft appraisals.
Subconsultant (appraisal companies) Deliverables:
52 eminent domain appraisals.
Assumptions:
- This task assumes 52 eminent domain appraisals will be needed. Estimated costs are
$6,750/appraisal, for a total of $351,000 (52 appraisals X $6,750/appraisal)
- This task covers the analysis and allocation of ownerships to be appraised to subconsultant
appraisers. This task does not include reviewing, processing and paying subconsultants on their
subconsultant contracts. That is covered in Task 1.3 above.
Task 4.4 Coordinate Appraisal Review
Subconsultant appraisers will deliver draft appraisals for review. Appraisal drafts will be delivered to the
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (3 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
8
City for review and comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for the formal appraisal review required by the
CDOT ROW Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. The CDOT appraisal
reviewer will prepare a fair market determination (FMV) that will be the basis for the offer to be made to
the landowner. This task covers the coordination of delivery of draft appraisals for reviews and delivery of
FMVs to the City, CDOT and the real estate specialist assigned to the acquisition negotiation.
Deliverables:
FMVs for ROW acquisitions (prepared by CDOT, signed by the City).
Assumption:
- 52 appraisals will be needed. This number may change as the design advances and ROW
impacts are better defined. If more than 52 appraisals are needed, additional fee will need to be
negotiated.
- CDOT Region 1 will provide appraisal review of appraisals generated for the Project. There will
be no charge to the project for the appraisal review. If CDOT charges the City for appraisal
review, the City will pay the fee for such reviews. If CDOT does not have capacity to provide
appraisal reviews and the appraisal reviews need to be provided by HDR and/or a subconsultant,
a separate fee will need to be negotiated for that service.
Task 4.5 Prepare Waiver Valuations
Prepare Waiver Valuations where appropriate. The CDOT ROW Manual allows waiver valuations for
acquisitions with an estimated value of $25,000 or less where the valuation problem is non-complex.
Waiver Valuations are just compensation value determinations prepared by a real estate specialist
instead of having acquisition parcels appraised. It is anticipated that the just compensation amount to be
offered for some acquisitions will be by waiver valuations instead of appraisals. Where waiver valuations
exceed $10,000, an authorization and appraisal release will be requested by the acquisition agent from
the owner, acknowledging and releasing the City of Wheat Ridge from its obligation to provide an
appraisal.
Review market sales data to determine land values to be used in waiver valuations. Prepare waiver
valuations in compliance with the CDOT ROW Manual. Submit Waiver Valuations to the City for review
and comment, then to CDOT for review and approval. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by
the City. Waiver valuations will be the basis for the offers made to the (waiver valuation) landowners.
Deliverables:
12 waiver valuations.
Assumptions:
- 12 waiver valuations will be needed. This number may change as the design advances and
ROW impacts are better defined. If more than 12 waiver valuations are needed, additional fee
will need to be negotiated.
- If landowners don’t sign waivers, additional appraisal may be needed. If this happens additional
fee will need to be negotiated.
Task 4.6 Coordinate Landowner Appraisal Review
Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. requires, for acquisitions with estimated values greater than $5K, that
landowners to be advised of their right to get an appraisal and have the governmental entity reimburse
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (3 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
9
them for the reasonable value of the appraisal if certain conditions are met. If landowners notified of this
right take advantage of it and submit appraisals to the City, landowner appraisals will be delivered to the
City for review and comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for the formal appraisal review required by the
CDOT ROW Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. The CDOT appraisal
reviewer will prepare a document summarizing its conclusion of the appraisal review (an FMV may be
prepared for the landowner appraisal in some instances) and a recommendation as to whether the City
should pay the fee for the landowner appraisal. HDR will then discuss this recommendation with the City
so the City can decide if such payment should be made. This task covers the coordination of landowner
appraisals for reviews.
Deliverables:
CDOT appraisal review reports, possible FMVs in some instances.
Assumptions:
- Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. requires landowners to be advised of their right to get an appraisal and
have the governmental entity pay for it if certain conditions are met, for acquisitions with
estimated values greater than $5K. Landowners may or may not take advantage of this right.
This task assumes that 80% of the 64 landowners advised of this right will take advantage of it,
so 52 landowner appraisals will be submitted for review.
- CDOT Region 1 will provide appraisal review of appraisals generated for the Project. There will
be no charge to the project for the appraisal review. If CDOT charges the City for appraisal
review, the City will pay the fee for such reviews. If CDOT does not have capacity to provide
appraisal reviews and the appraisal reviews need to be provided by HDR and/or a subconsultant,
a separate fee will need to be negotiated for that service.
- The cost of landowner appraisals is not included in this HDR SOW and fee estimate and
will be paid separately by the City.
TASK 5: ACQUISTION NEGOTIATION
Task 5.1 Preparation and Delivery of Acquisition Documents
Prepare and send notice of interest to acquires, offer letters, summaries of just compensation, final offer
letters and additional correspondence as agreed to by the City and HDR.
Deliverables:
Notice of interest to acquires.
Offer packets.
Additional correspondence and documents, as needed.
Final offers, if required.
Assumptions:
- Acquisition negotiations from 64 landowners will be needed. This number may change as the
design advances and ROW impacts are better defined. If acquisitions from more 64 landowners
are needed, additional fee will need to be negotiated.
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (3 FULL ACQUISITIONS)

Task 5.2 Conduct Acquisition Negotiations
Negotiate consensual agreements for the acquisition of property rights based on FMVs and waiver
valuations.
Deliverables:
Signed settlement agreements.
Justification for administrative settlements and other City required settlement forms.
Negotiation logs.
Assumptions:
- Negotiations will be limited to three in person meetings. Negotiations result in consensual
agreements. If an agreement cannot be reached on a negotiation, the matter will be discussed
with the City. If the City determines that it will resolve the acquisition through condemnation,
HDR will prepare and submit a condemnation packet to the City (the fee for this is in Section 6.1).
This SOW and fee estimate do not include tasks and fees for participation in condemnation
proceedings. If City authorizes condemnation on an acquisition and additional ROW services are
needed from HDR to support the condemnation, additional SOW and fee for such services will be
negotiated.
Task 5.3 File Maintenance, QA/QC Review and Submittal
One hard copy file will be maintained by HDR for each acquisition. At a minimum, the file will contain: the
notice of interest to acquire, appraisal or value finding; offer letter; closing documents; typed and signed
negotiation logs of contacts with owners; and the related correspondence regarding the parcel
acquisition. Upon completion of each acquisition, files will be finalized, QC’d and delivered to the City.
CDOT requires a hard copy and digital file. Both will be prepared and delivered to CDOT.
Deliverables:
Up to 64 final files – hard copy and digital to the City.
Up to 64 final files – hard copy and digital to CDOT.
TASK 6: CLOSINGS
Task 6.1 Coordinate Closings with Title Company or Prepare Condemnation Package for
Attorneys
For acquisitions resolved through consensual agreements, coordinate closings with selected
Subconsultant Title Company(s), including release or subordination of financial liens. If an agreement
cannot be reached on an acquisition negotiation, the matter will be discussed with the City. If the City
determines that it will resolve the acquisition through condemnation, submission of a condemnation
packet will be a substitute for the closing coordination. This SOW and fee estimate does not include tasks
and fees for participation in condemnation proceedings. If the City authorizes condemnation on an
acquisition and additional ROW services are needed from HDR to support the condemnation, additional
SOW and fee for such services will be negotiated.
Deliverables:
Up to 64 closing packets and final signed and recorded agreements from closings. (Title
Company may send recorded documents directly to City, if requested)
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (3 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
11
Substitution of a condemnation packet for negotiations that cannot be resolved by a consensual
agreement, which the City authorizes condemnation.
Title Subconsultant (title companies) Deliverable No. 2:
Up to 66 closings.
Title Insurance Policies.
Assumptions:
- Acquisition negotiations from 64 landowners will be needed. 64 closings or condemnation packets
will be provided. This number may change as the design advances and ROW impacts are better
defined. If more than 64 closings are needed, additional fee will need to be negotiated.
- Closings will be conducted by Subconsultant Title Companies. The City will pay all Subconsultant
Title Company’s closing fees, recording fees, costs associated with lien releases, if any, and
the cost of title insurance policies. In cases where there are only temporary impacts to individual
ownerships, or where the acquisition cost is minimal, HDR will close the transaction with the property
owner directly upon the City’s approval and HDR will invoice for recording fees directly to City.
TASK 7: RELOCATIONS
Task 7.1 Relocation Planning Study
HDR will prepare a Relocation Plan as described in Chapter 5.3 of the CDOT Right of Way Manual. At
minimum, the Relocation Plan will include completion of CDOT Forms 557 and 558 and Certified
Inventory forms. For residential relocations, this planning exercise will include interviewing the displaced
occupants to determine unique characteristics of their situation to be considered in finding a replacement
property and to determine length of occupancy and citizenship status. For business relocations, this
planning exercise will include interviewing the tenant business and landowner to determine their
qualifications as a displaced business, understand special circumstances that may apply and obtain a
detailed inventory of real and personal property and to determine items owned by the tenant business
and items owned by the landowner/landlord. Findings will be documented in Acquisition Stage
Relocation Plan and Displaced Person(s) Information forms. Forms will be submitted to the City for review
and comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for the formal approval as required by the CDOT ROW
Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. Discuss with the City strategies for
relocation based on information gathered. The Relocation Planning Study will be amended and updated
to add ownerships qualified for personal property moves as they are identified.
Task 7.2 Provide 90 Day Notice, Certificate of Legal Residency, and 30 Day Notice
Provide 90 day notices to displaced occupants, advising such occupants that they have a minimum of 90
days to find and move into a replacement property. Provide Certificate of Legal Residency and verify
eligibility for relocation benefits. Provide 30 day notices in time frames required by the CDOT ROW
Manual and the project schedule.
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (3 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
12
Task 7.3 Prepare, Obtain Approval of and Provide Relocation Determinations
Prepare relocation determinations for displaced occupants. Work with the displacees to obtain bids for
eligible moving costs and related items. Submit relocation determinations to the City for review and
comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for formal approval as required by Chapter 5 of CDOT’s ROW
Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. (Such relocation determinations
identify monetary relocation payments to be made to displaced occupants for eligible moving expenses.)
Work with the displacees to submit claims for processing. Coordinate with the City issuance of checks for
such approved claims. Submit payments to the displaced occupants, as conditions for payment are met
and document receipt of such payments.
For residential displacees, HDR will find comparable replacement dwellings that meet the requirements
for Decent Safe and Sanitary (DSS) and are Functionally Equivalent to the acquired dwelling. HDR will
notify the displaced tenant occupant of the comparables for their consideration. The comparables will
also be used in determining the Replacement Housing Payment for which the displaced tenant occupant
will be eligible. HDR will work with the City and CDOT to determine the Replacement Housing amount
and will work with the displacee to relocate and submit a claims to request reimbursement for the
Relocation Housing Payment.
HDR will work with the City and CDOT to determine actual, reasonable and necessary business
reestablishment reimbursement requests from the displaced businesses and will work with the
businesses to submit claims to request reimbursement of approved claims.
Task 7.4 Advisory Services
HDR will provide advisory services, as described in Chapter 5 of CDOT’s Right of Way Manual to the
displaced residential and business occupants throughout the relocation process. HDR will advise the
displaced tenant and displaced rental business of eligible reimbursement expenses related to moving
activities and business reestablishment. HDR will also provide assistance with finding potential
replacement properties, advising the displacees of eligible and ineligible items under the relocation
program, and performing a DSS inspection for the residential replacement property.
Task 7.5 File Maintenance, QA/QC Review and Submittal
One hard copy file will be maintained by HDR for each relocation. At a minimum, the file will contain: the
90-Day Notice and signed Residency form, signed determination; signed claim form; typed and signed
negotiation logs of contacts with owners and displaced occupants; and the related correspondence
regarding the parcel relocation efforts. Upon completion of each relocation, the file will be finalized, QC’d
and delivered to the City and CDOT.
Deliverables:
Acquisition Stage Relocation Plan and Displaced Person(s) Information forms, including inventory
forms itemizing real and personal property as it belongs to either the tenant or landowner.
90 Day Notice, Certificate of Legal Residency and 30 Day Notice to displaced occupants.
Relocation determinations for monetary benefits for such displaced occupants.
Relocation negotiation logs
13 final relocation files – 1 hard copy and 1 electronic copy each to the City.
13 final relocation files – 1 hard copy and 1 electronic copy each to CDOT.

Assumptions:
- There will be two (2) business relocations, one (1) residential tenant relocation, and 10 personal
property moves under $3,000.
- Relocation will be conducted in compliance with the relocation requirements of the CDOT ROW
Manual.
- END OF SCOPE OF WORK TASKS -
CONDEMANTIONS
Support for Condemnation Actions
If condemnations are filed, HDR may be requested to provide services to support the condemnation,
including testimony at depositions and hearings, participation in litigation preparation and strategy
meetings, participation in mediations or other alternative dispute resolution efforts, and preparation of
exhibits and trial exhibits. No fee proposal is included for this task, because it is difficult to predict how
many condemnations will be filed. If condemnations are filed and HDR is requested to provide support
services for such condemnations, a separate fee will need to be negotiated for such services.
Assumptions:
- Aside from the possible fees for HDR condemnation support services described herein, the City
will be responsible for all other costs of condemnations, including court filing fees, attorney’s fees
and court costs.
ROW PROJECT SCHEDULE
The specific ROW Project Schedule will be developed between HDR and the City. An anticipated general
ROW schedule is included below. Significant deviation from this schedule for circumstances unrelated to
HDR’s activities may require an amendment to this Scope of Work and fee. This Scope of Work assumes
that most ROW activities will be completed by January 2020, and remaining ROW activities will be
completed no later than January 2021. ROW Services required past this date may require an
amendment to this Scope of Work and additional fee to finalize outstanding ROW items.

SECTION 1: PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The City of Wheat Ridge (City) has been working for several years to improve SH 121 / Wadsworth
Boulevard (Wadsworth). In 2015, they produced a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study for
the portion of Wadsworth Boulevard from West 35th Avenue to I-70. Also in 2015, the City secured a
DRCOG TIP grant providing the majority of the funding for construction and executed an
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with CDOT outlining the framework for reconstruction of Wadsworth.
A major part of the project is to reconstruct Wadsworth to a 6-lane section, provide better multimodal
facilities, and provide enhanced amenity zones along the corridor (Project). A template Environmental
Assessment (EA) is in process. Conceptual level design of the Project has been completed. Preliminary
design has begun. Final design, 100% Advertisement Plans, Specifications & Estimate (PS&E) for the
project advertisement, bidding assistance and Design Services During Construction (DSDC) will follow.
Significant right of way (ROW) acquisition and relocation is needed for the project. Initial estimates
indicate that ROW acquisition will be needed from 64 ownerships. Eight (8) of these are identified as full
acquisitions in the draft EA, however only three (3) of the eight (8) are definitely full acquisitions. This
scope of work assumes all eight of the full acquisitions remain as full acquisitions. Sixteen (16)
businesses will be displaced by the full acquisitions (one full acquisition is not improved or occupied) and
one resident will be displaced by one of the partial acquisitions. This scope of work assumes sixteen
business relocations, one residential relocation, and ten (10) personal property only relocations. This
scope of work is for HDR and its subconsultants (ROW Team) to define, value and purchase the ROW
needed for the Project and the relocate the businesses, resident and personal property displaced by
some of the acquisitions.
The ROW Team will provide the work described in this document.
PROJECT GOALS
The goals of the ROW acquisition for the Project are to timely acquire the ROW needed for the project
and conduct required relocations to support the preconstruction schedule while providing considerate
treatment to affected property owners and displaced occupants.
PROJECT LIMITS
Wadsworth from 35th Ave to I-70 interchange
WORK DURATION
The primary time period for the work is estimated to begin in January 2019 and end by a ROW clearance
in January 2020. An additional time period from January 2020 may be needed to resolve acquisitions
through condemnation, if needed. The estimated time period for the extension is through January 2021.

Subconsultant PLS Deliverable No. 3 – Legal Descriptions
Legal descriptions for ROW parcels needed for the Project prepared in compliance with the
CDOT ROW Manual.
Assumptions:
- Lund will need to do some field survey to obtain information needed for preparation of the ROW
plans.
- The initial estimate is that there will be ROW parcels from 64 ownerships in the ROW plans, and
145 legal descriptions delivered. These numbers may change as the design advances and ROW
impacts are better defined. If more than 64 ownerships and 145 legal descriptions are required,
additional fee will need to be negotiated.
TASK 4: PARCEL VALUATIONS
Task 4.1 Research and Planning
Evaluate preliminary impacts and cost with respect to appraisals. Conduct field inspection to verify
property impacts and characteristics including outdoor advertising signs, significant property improvement
impacts, potential damages including parking and field verify characteristics of potential total acquisition
appraisals. Develop inventory by ownership of key impacted improvements and potential damages or
action items.
Deliverables:
Spreadsheet of property ownerships with inventory of preliminary property impacts to address
project action items.
Task 4.2 Sign Cost Estimates and Sign Consulting
Prior to issuing notices to proceed for subconsultant appraisers as set forth in Task 4.3 below, HDR will
contract and coordinate with a sign company subconsultant for sign cost estimates for outdoor advertising
and private directional signs impacted by the project. Estimates will include, replacement cost new and
relocation cost estimate.
HDR will coordinate inspections, preparation, format and review of the estimates with the sign company.
HDR will provide a quality control review of sign estimates, which upon completion will be distributed to
the City of Wheat Ridge, CDOT appraisal review. Upon their review the estimates will be distributed to
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (8 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
7
the assigned agency appraisers and acquisition agent for distribution to land owners should they choose
to provide it to their appraisers.
Information on signs will be promptly delivered to the City for its review. HDR will consult with the City for
the appropriate approach to be taken on sign relocations generally and on how to handle certain case
specific sign situations.
Subconsultant (sign company) Deliverables:
Up to of 40 sign cost estimates
Assumptions
- Not to exceed 40 sign cost estimates at $375 / estimate ($15,000).
- Signs will be classified as real property.
- City will provide sign policy.
Task 4.3 Appraisal Planning and Management Delivery of Subconsultant Appraisals
This Task is to coordination efforts to plan and retain qualified subconsultant appraisal firms to deliver
agency appraisals. Appraisals will be prepared in compliance with generally accepted standards of
appraisal practice, the URA and CDOT policies and procedures.
HDR will utilize property data and information from field inspections (Task 4.1) to bundle appraisals into
groups based on acquisition priority, property characteristics and potential damages. HDR will review
proposed bundles with City of Wheat Ridge for allocation of appraisal bundles to subconsultant
appraisers. Upon approval of appraisal bundles, HDR will solicit proposals from appraisal
subconsultants.
Upon receipt of appraisal proposals, HDR will review proposals and provide summary of proposals and
agency appraisal costs to the City. HDR will coordinate with the City of Wheat Ridge to determine award
of appraisal bundles. HDR will prepare subconsultant agreements and finalized scopes of service, issue
appraisal awards to appraisal subconsultants and contract with them.
HDR will issue notice to proceed to appraisers, provide current authorized plans and legal descriptions,
title commitments and sign cost estimates as identified in section 4.3. HDR will follow up on delivery of
draft appraisals.
Subconsultant (appraisal companies) Deliverables:
52 eminent domain appraisals.
Assumptions:
- This task assumes 52 eminent domain appraisals will be needed. Estimated costs are
$6,750/appraisal, for a total of $351,000 (52 appraisals X $6,750/appraisal)
- This task covers the analysis and allocation of ownerships to be appraised to subconsultant
appraisers. This task does not include reviewing, processing and paying subconsultants on their
subconsultant contracts. That is covered in Task 1.3 above.
Task 4.4 Coordinate Appraisal Review
Subconsultant appraisers will deliver draft appraisals for review. Appraisal drafts will be delivered to the
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (8 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
8
City for review and comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for the formal appraisal review required by the
CDOT ROW Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. The CDOT appraisal
reviewer will prepare a fair market determination (FMV) that will be the basis for the offer to be made to
the landowner. This task covers the coordination of delivery of draft appraisals for reviews and delivery of
FMVs to the City, CDOT and the real estate specialist assigned to the acquisition negotiation.
Deliverables:
FMVs for ROW acquisitions (prepared by CDOT, signed by the City).
Assumption:
- 52 appraisals will be needed. This number may change as the design advances and ROW
impacts are better defined. If more than 52 appraisals are needed, additional fee will need to be
negotiated.
- CDOT Region 1 will provide appraisal review of appraisals generated for the Project. There will
be no charge to the project for the appraisal review. If CDOT charges the City for appraisal
review, the City will pay the fee for such reviews. If CDOT does not have capacity to provde
appraisal reviews and the appraisal reviews need to be provided by HDR and/or a subconsultant,
a separate fee will need to be negotiated for that service.
Task 4.5 Prepare Waiver Valuations
Prepare Waiver Valuations where appropriate. The CDOT ROW Manual allows waiver valuations for
acquisitions with an estimated value of $25,000 or less where the valuation problem is non-complex.
Waiver Valuations are just compensation value determinations prepared by a real estate specialist
instead of having acquisition parcels appraised. It is anticipated that the just compensation amount to be
offered for some acquisitions will be by waiver valuations instead of appraisals. Where waiver valuations
exceed $10,000, an authorization and appraisal release will be requested by the acquisition agent from
the owner, acknowledging and releasing the City of Wheat Ridge from its obligation to provide an
appraisal.
Review market sales data to determine land values to be used in waiver valuations. Prepare waiver
valuations in compliance with the CDOT ROW Manual. Submit Waiver Valuations to the City for review
and comment, then to CDOT for review and approval. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by
the City. Waiver valuations will be the basis for the offers made to the (waiver valuation) landowners.
Deliverables:
12 waiver valuations.
Assumptions:
- 12 waiver valuations will be needed. This number may change as the design advances and
ROW impacts are better defined. If more than 12 waiver valuations are needed, additional fee
will need to be negotiated.
- If landowners don’t sign waivers, additional appraisal may be needed. If this happens additional
fee will need to be negotiated.
Task 4.6 Coordinate Landowner Appraisal Review
Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. requires, for acquisitions with estimated values greater than $5K, that
landowners to be advised of their right to get an appraisal and have the governmental entity reimburse
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (8 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
9
them for the reasonable value of the appraisal if certain conditions are met. If landowners notified of this
right take advantage of it and submit appraisals to the City, landowner appraisals will be delivered to the
City for review and comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for the formal appraisal review required by the
CDOT ROW Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. The CDOT appraisal
reviewer will prepare a document summarizing its conclusion of the appraisal review (an FMV may be
prepared for the landowner appraisal in some instances) and a recommendation as to whether the City
should pay the fee for the landowner appraisal. HDR will then discuss this recommendation with the City
so the City can decide if such payment should be made. This task covers the coordination of landowner
appraisals for reviews.
Deliverables:
CDOT appraisal review reports, possible FMVs in some instances.
Assumptions:
- Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. requires landowners to be advised of their right to get an appraisal and
have the governmental entity pay for it if certain conditions are met, for acquisitions with
estimated values greater than $5K. Landowners may or may not take advantage of this right.
This task assumes that 80% of the 64 landowners advised of this right will take advantage of it,
so 52 landowner appraisals will be submitted for review.
- CDOT Region 1 will provide appraisal review of appraisals generated for the Project. There will
be no charge to the project for the appraisal review. If CDOT charges the City for appraisal
review, the City will pay the fee for such reviews. If CDOT does not have capacity to provide
appraisal reviews and the appraisal reviews need to be provided by HDR and/or a subconsultant,
a separate fee will need to be negotiated for that service.
- The cost of landowner appraisals is not included in this HDR SOW and fee estimate and
will be paid separately by the City.
TASK 5: ACQUISTION NEGOTIATION
Task 5.1 Preparation and Delivery of Acquisition Documents
Prepare and send notice of interest to acquires, offer letters, summaries of just compensation, final offer
letters and additional correspondence as agreed to by the City and HDR.
Deliverables:
Notice of interest to acquires.
Offer packets.
Additional correspondence and documents, as needed.
Final offers, if required.
Assumptions:
- Acquisition negotiations from 64 landowners will be needed. This number may change as the
design advances and ROW impacts are better defined. If acquisitions from more 64 landowners
are needed, additional fee will need to be negotiated.
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (8 FULL ACQUISITIONS)

Task 5.2 Conduct Acquisition Negotiations
Negotiate consensual agreements for the acquisition of property rights based on FMVs and waiver
valuations.
Deliverables:
Signed settlement agreements.
Justification for administrative settlements and other City required settlement forms.
Negotiation logs.
Assumptions:
- Negotiations will be limited to three in person meetings. Negotiations result in consensual
agreements. If an agreement cannot be reached on a negotiation, the matter will be discussed
with the City. If the City determines that it will resolve the acquisition through condemnation,
HDR will prepare and submit a condemnation packet to the City (the fee for this is in Section 6.1).
This SOW and fee estimate do not include tasks and fees for participation in condemnation
proceedings. If City authorizes condemnation on an acquisition and additional ROW services are
needed from HDR to support the condemnation, additional SOW and fee for such services will be
negotiated.
Task 5.3 File Maintenance, QA/QC Review and Submittal
One hard copy file will be maintained by HDR for each acquisition. At a minimum, the file will contain: the
notice of interest to acquire, appraisal or value finding; offer letter; closing documents; typed and signed
negotiation logs of contacts with owners; and the related correspondence regarding the parcel
acquisition. Upon completion of each acquisition, files will be finalized, QC’d and delivered to the City.
CDOT requires a hard copy and digital file. Both will be prepared and delivered to CDOT.
Deliverables:
Up to 64 final files – hard copy and digital to the City.
Up to 64 final files – hard copy and digital to CDOT.
TASK 6: CLOSINGS
Task 6.1 Coordinate Closings with Title Company or Prepare Condemnation Package for
Attorneys
For acquisitions resolved through consensual agreements, coordinate closings with selected
Subconsultant Title Company(s), including release or subordination of financial liens. If an agreement
cannot be reached on an acquisition negotiation, the matter will be discussed with the City. If the City
determines that it will resolve the acquisition through condemnation, submission of a condemnation
packet will be a substitute for the closing coordination. This SOW and fee estimate does not include tasks
and fees for participation in condemnation proceedings. If the City authorizes condemnation on an
acquisition and additional ROW services are needed from HDR to support the condemnation, additional
SOW and fee for such services will be negotiated.
Deliverables:
Up to 64 closing packets and final signed and recorded agreements from closings. (Title
Company may send recorded documents directly to City, if requested)
SCOPE OF WORK WADSWORTH BOULEVARD WIDENING November 28, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITON (8 FULL ACQUISITIONS)
11
Substitution of a condemnation packet for negotiations that cannot be resolved by a consensual
agreement, which the City authorizes condemnation.
Title Subconsultant (title companies) Deliverable No. 2:
Up to 66 closings.
Title Insurance Policies.
Assumptions:
- Acquisition negotiations from 64 landowners will be needed. 64 closings or condemnation packets
will be provided. This number may change as the design advances and ROW impacts are better
defined. If more than 64 closings are needed, additional fee will need to be negotiated.
- Closings will be conducted by Subconsultant Title Companies. The City will pay all Subconsultant
Title Company’s closing fees, recording fees, costs associated with lien releases, if any, and
the cost of title insurance policies. In cases where there are only temporary impacts to individual
ownerships, or where the acquisition cost is minimal, HDR will close the transaction with the property
owner directly upon the City’s approval and HDR will invoice for recording fees directly to City.
TASK 7: RELOCATIONS – FOR THREE (3) OBVIOUS FULL ACQUISITIONS
Task 7 is for the relocations arising from the three (3) obvious full acquisitions. The displaced occupants
from these three (3) obvious full acquisitions and other partial acquisitions result in two (2) business
relocations, one (1) residential tenant relocation, and 10 personal property moves.
Task 7.1 Relocation Planning Study
HDR will prepare a Relocation Plan as described in Chapter 5.3 of the CDOT Right of Way Manual. At
minimum, the Relocation Plan will include completion of CDOT Forms 557 and 558 and Certified
Inventory forms. For residential relocations, this planning exercise will include interviewing the displaced
occupants to determine unique characteristics of their situation to be considered in finding a replacement
property and to determine length of occupancy and citizenship status. For business relocations, this
planning exercise will include interviewing the tenant business and landowner to determine their
qualifications as a displaced business, understand special circumstances that may apply and obtain a
detailed inventory of real and personal property and to determine items owned by the tenant business
and items owned by the landowner/landlord. Findings will be documented in Acquisition Stage
Relocation Plan and Displaced Person(s) Information forms. Forms will be submitted to the City for review
and comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for the formal approval as required by the CDOT ROW
Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. Discuss with the City strategies for
relocation based on information gathered. The Relocation Planning Study will be amended and updated
to add ownerships qualified for personal property moves as they are identified.
Task 7.2 Provide 90 Day Notice, Certificate of Legal Residency, and 30 Day Notice
Provide 90 day notices to displaced occupants, advising such occupants that they have a minimum of 90
days to find and move into a replacement property. Provide Certificate of Legal Residency and verify
eligibility for relocation benefits. Provide 30 day notices in time frames required by the CDOT ROW

Task 7.3 Prepare, Obtain Approval of and Provide Relocation Determinations
Prepare relocation determinations for displaced occupants. Work with the displacees to obtain bids for
eligible moving costs and related items. Submit relocation determinations to the City for review and
comment, and then to CDOT Region 1 for formal approval as required by Chapter 5 of CDOT’s ROW
Manual. This review can occur concurrently, if allowed by the City. (Such relocation determinations
identify monetary relocation payments to be made to displaced occupants for eligible moving expenses.)
Work with the displacees to submit claims for processing. Coordinate with the City issuance of checks for
such approved claims. Submit payments to the displaced occupants, as conditions for payment are met
and document receipt of such payments.
For residential displacees, HDR will find comparable replacement dwellings that meet the requirements
for Decent Safe and Sanitary (DSS) and are Functionally Equivalent to the acquired dwelling. HDR will
notify the displaced tenant occupant of the comparables for their consideration. The comparables will
also be used in determining the Replacement Housing Payment for which the displaced tenant occupant
will be eligible. HDR will work with the City and CDOT to determine the Replacement Housing amount
and will work with the displacee to relocate and submit a claims to request reimbursement for the
Relocation Housing Payment.
HDR will work with the City and CDOT to determine actual, reasonable and necessary business
reestablishment reimbursement requests from the displaced businesses and will work with the
businesses to submit claims to request reimbursement of approved claims.

_______________________________ ______________________________
Director of Public Works City Manager ISSUE: The Wheat Ridge · Ward Station planning area is one of four projects in the City’s Investing 4
the Future bond program which is benefitting from $12 million from the voter-approved, temporary ½-cent sales and use tax rate increase. Some of the proposed improvements that have been identified and prioritized as infrastructure projects for the station area require that additional right-of-way (ROW) be purchased. Professional ROW acquisition services are required to move forward with these projects.
It is expected that professional services will be needed over at least the next 2 years, depending on the timing and prioritization of the potential projects.
PRIOR ACTION: Prior to the commencement of this procurement process, extensive visioning and planning has been focused on the Wheat Ridge · Ward Station planning area. Numerous Council updates and
actions have occurred at various stages in these processes. Council was most recently updated on June 4, 2018 on the status of the Wheat Ridge · Ward Station planning area and on private developments in the area.
Council Action Form – Right of Way Acquisition Services Contract
December 10, 2018
Page 2 In addition, on August 27, 2018, Council approved a contract for design services with Short
Elliot Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) to design and prepare construction drawings for the first three
task orders. These task orders covered 52nd Avenue east of Ward Road, Tabor Street between Ridge Road and 52nd Avenue, and Ridge Road east of Tabor Street.
On November 19, 2018, Council directed staff not to pursue improvements at this time to the segment of 52nd Avenue east of Tabor Street that would have provided a connection to the
proposed Haskins Station development in Arvada. At that same meeting, Council agreed to have
staff investigate work on Ridge Road west of Parfet Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Professional service fees in the amount of $75,139 are available in the Wheat Ridge · Ward Road Station 2E Bond Fund for right-of-way acquisition services.
Staff is currently working with the City of Arvada and Jefferson County to prepare an
Intergovernmental Agreement that establishes a cost sharing arrangement for the design and construction of 52nd Avenue and potentially Ridge Road east of Tabor Street. Without the 52nd Avenue connection to Arvada, the traffic impact to Ridge Road east of Tabor Street will be greater. City of Arvada staff have expressed a willingness to participate in funding additional
improvements to Ridge Road east of Tabor Street.
BACKGROUND: Earlier this year, the City Managers of Arvada and Wheat Ridge along with the County Manager of Jefferson County signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreeing to coordinate and cooperate on designing and funding mutually beneficial road improvements in the area
surrounding the Wheat Ridge · Ward station area. Discussions between the staffs of the
jurisdictions have been ongoing concerning an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) that outlines cost-sharing and other arrangements for the shared infrastructure improvements.
The following potential projects have long been identified as infrastructure priorities in the station area:
• Improvements to 52nd Avenue from Ward Road to the City boundary east of Simms Street including improvements to multimodal facilities and to the intersection at Ward Road.
• Improvements to Ridge Road from Tabor Street to the City boundary east of Simms
Street including improvements to multimodal facilities
• Improvements to Tabor Street between Ridge Road and 52nd Avenue including improvements to multimodal facilities
• Improvements to Ridge Road between Ward Road and the station including
improvements to multimodal facilities
• A pedestrian bridge from the station over the rail lines to the south to 49th Place
• A linear park with multimodal facilities connecting the station via the pedestrian bridge
to the I-70 Frontage Road South
Council Action Form – Right of Way Acquisition Services Contract
December 10, 2018
Page 3 In August 2018, Council approved a contract with Short Elliot Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) to
prepare construction drawings for the above projects. Staff has since authorized the first three
task orders for the following projects:
• Task Order #1 – 52nd Avenue (from Ward Road to the City boundary east of Simms Street)
• Task Order #2 – Ridge Road (from Tabor Street to the City boundary east of Simms Street)
• Task Order #3 – Tabor Street between Ridge Road and 52nd Avenue
SEH submitted conceptual plans for the three streets for review on November 21, 2018. Based
on the direction received from the Council on November 19, 2018, the portion of 52nd Avenue east of Tabor Street will be excluded from the remainder of the design contract.
As noted earlier, the segment of Ridge Road east of Tabor Street to the City boundary east of Simms Street is one of the of projects being designed. Currently, this segment has a somewhat narrower cross-section compared to what is eventually planned for most of Ridge Road. The
center turn lane was omitted in order to reduce the amount of ROW that would be needed from the five properties on the north side of Ridge Road. The additional ROW that was anticipated to be required was between 12 and 15 feet.
Without the 52nd Avenue connection to Arvada, traffic impacts to Ridge Road east of Tabor Street will be greater. Therefore, the cross-section that was planned may need to be re-examined.
The center turn lane may need to be reincorporated due to the higher levels of traffic. In order to minimize the additional ROW required, the proposed amenity zone could be eliminated with a bike lane providing a buffer from the traffic.
Staff has determined that 2E funding cannot be used for the multi-modal project on Ridge Road west of Parfet, discussed with Council on November 19, 2018. Therefore, that project will not be
pursued at this time.
Several of the identified projects will require acquisition of additional ROW or easements in order to be completed. The firm HDR was recently selected by the City’s established procurement process to perform the required professional services. The selection process included review by an evaluation committee of proposals in response to a request for
qualifications submitted by three (3) firms. Staff negotiated with HDR to finalize the scope and fees for the anticipated work expected for the first task order for the following location:
• Task Order #1 – Ridge Road (from Tabor Street to the City boundary east of Simms Street)
Task orders will be issued for each of the tasks and services and will be billed on an hourly basis,
and only for the services actually completed. Additional task orders, including the expected tasks and estimated fees, will be negotiated and brought back to Council for approval as additional acquisition needs are identified.
Council Action Form – Right of Way Acquisition Services Contract
December 10, 2018
Page 4 RECOMMENDATIONS: The consultant selection, based on qualifications, project approach, and experience on similar
projects and services, is consistent with the City’s standard procurement policy and process for professional services. Appropriate fees for the work were then negotiated in accordance with the specific tasks and services needed. The City will authorize work to HDR as specific task orders. Staff recommends award of the ROW Acquisition Consultant Contract to HDR.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to award a contract and approve subsequent payments to HDR, Inc., Denver, CO, in an amount not to exceed $75,139 for ROW acquisition services for Ridge Road.”
Or,
“I move to deny the award of a contract and subsequent payments to HDR, Inc., Denver, CO, in an amount not to exceed $75,139 for ROW acquisition services for Ridge Road for the following reason(s) _________________________________.”

Dear Mark and Lauren,
We are pleased to submit our modified scope and fee estimate for Right of Way Services for
the first Ward Station Project, a project modifying Ridge Road, from Tabor Street to the City
Boundary. This modified scope and fee reflects the City’s decision to delete work on 52nd
Avenue from this project (ROW services for such work was included in our prior submittal).
The attached draft scope outlines our project approach along with proposed deliverables
that we plan to complete.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

SECTION 1: PROJECT SPECIFIC INFORMATION
PROJECT BACKGROUND The Wheat Ridge ▪ Ward Station (Ward Station) is the end of the line station for the RTD G Line
commuter rail. The G Line runs 11.2 miles from the Ward Station through Arvada, Adams County and
Denver to downtown Union Station. The opening of RTD’s G line offers the City a redevelopment
opportunity in the Ward Station area.
A tremendous amount of planning has been focused on the area of the station in the last 15 years. The
Wheat Ridge ▪ Ward Station Vision, issued in 2016, positions Ward Station as the premier location in the
metro area for outdoor recreation focused companies and employers by introducing outdoor recreation
focused co-working spaces within the station area. The outdoor recreation focus of the station area will
be supplemented by on-site recreational amenities that will complement development. The approval of
the 2E Investing 4 the Future bond program provides important funding for several infrastructure projects
in the Ward Station area. As a result of a competitive request for qualifications (RFQ) process, HDR was
awarded the opportunity to provide right of way (ROW) services for Ward Station area projects.
The first of these infrastructure projects requiring ROW is a project improving Ridge Road between Tabor
Street and the City boundary, east of Simms Place, to collector Street Standards (Project). The City has
retained SEH Engineering (SEH) to design this Project. The ROW acquisition initially envisioned for this
project is ROW acquisitions from 5 owners, consisting of fee simple and temporary easement parcels to
be acquired from five (5) ownerships on the north side of Ridge Road. HDR will be responsible for the
preparation of legal descriptions, valuations, and acquisition negotiations for such parcels, and support for
condemnation actions, if needed, for said parcels. This scope of work defines the tasks needed for these
services.
HDR’s ROW team will provide the work described in this document.
PROJECT GOALS
The goals of the ROW acquisition for the Project are to timely acquire the ROW needed for the Project to
support the preconstruction schedule while providing considerate treatment to affected property owners.
PROJECT LIMITS
Ridge Road between Tabor Street and the City boundary.
WORK DURATION
The primary time period for the work is estimated to begin in January 2019 and end by a ROW clearance
in May 2019. An additional time period from May 2019 may be needed to resolve acquisitions through
condemnation, if needed. The estimated time period for the extension is through December 2019.

valuations in compliance with City requirements. Submit Waiver Valuations to the City for review and
approval. Waiver valuations will be the basis for the offers made to the landowners.
Deliverables:
5 waiver valuations.
Assumptions:
- 5 waiver valuations will be needed. This number may change as the design advances and ROW
impacts are better defined. If more than 5 waiver valuations are needed, additional fee will need
to be negotiated.
- If an acquisition is required to be resolved through condemnation, an appraisal of the ROW
parcel(s) may be needed to provide valuation evidence in hearings or trials. If an appraisal of the
ROW parcel is needed, additional fee for such appraisal(s) will need to be negotiated.
Task 4.2 Landowner Appraisal Review
Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. requires, for acquisitions with estimated values greater than $5K, that
landowners to be advised of their right to get an appraisal and have the governmental entity reimburse
them for the reasonable value of the appraisal if certain conditions are met. If landowners notified of this
right take advantage of it and submit appraisals to the City, an appraisal content review of the appraisal
will be reviewed by HDR’s appraiser to determine if the Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. criteria for payment
reimbursement is satisfied. After the content review of landowner(s) appraisals, the HDR review
appraiser will make recommendations to the City, as to whether the landowner appraiser’s fee will should
be paid and if modifications to the amount offered should be made.

Deliverables:
Review reports for appraisals submitted.
Assumptions:
- Section 38-1-121, C.R.S. requires landowners to be advised of their right to get an appraisal and
have the governmental entity pay for it if certain conditions are met, for acquisitions with
estimated values greater than $5K. Landowners may or may not take advantage of this right.
This task assumes that 2 of the 5 landowners advised of this right will take advantage of it.
- The cost of landowner appraisals is not included in this HDR SOW and fee estimate and
will be paid separately by the City.
TASK 5: ACQUISTION NEGOTIATION
Task 5.1 Preparation and Delivery of Acquisition Documents

letters and additional correspondence as agreed to by the City and HDR.
Deliverables:
Notice of intent to acquires
Offer packets.
Additional correspondence and documents, as needed.
Final offers, if required.
Assumptions:
- Acquisition negotiations from five (5) landowners will be needed. This number may change as
the design advances and ROW impacts are better defined. If acquisitions from more than five (5)
landowners are needed, additional fee will need to be negotiated.
Task 5.2 Conduct Acquisition Negotiations
Negotiate consensual agreements for the acquisition of property rights based on FMVs and waiver
valuations.
Deliverables:
Signed settlement agreements.
Justification for administrative settlements and other City required settlement forms.
Negotiation logs.
Assumptions:
- Negotiations will be limited to three in person meetings. Negotiations result in consensual
agreements. If an agreement cannot be reached on a negotiation, the matter will be discussed
with the City. If the City determines that it will resolve the acquisition through condemnation,
HDR will prepare and submit a condemnation packet to the City (the fee for this is in Section 6.1).
This SOW and fee estimate do not include tasks and fees for participation in condemnation
proceedings. If the City authorizes condemnation on an acquisition and additional ROW services
SCOPE OF WORK WARD STATION PROJECT #1 November 30, 2018 RIGHT OF WAY FOR WIDENING OF RIDGE ROAD
7
are needed from HDR to support the condemnation, additional SOW and fee for such services
will be negotiated.
Task 5.3 File Maintenance, QA/QC Review and Submittal
One hard copy file will be maintained by HDR for each acquisition. At a minimum, the file will contain: the
notice of intent to acquire, appraisal or value finding; offer letter; closing documents; typed and signed
negotiation logs of contacts with owners; and the related correspondence regarding the parcel
acquisition. Upon completion of each acquisition, files will be finalized, QC’d and delivered to the City.
Deliverables:
Final files – hard copy and digital
TASK 6: CLOSINGS
Task 6.1 Coordinate Closings with Title Company or Prepare Condemnation Package for
Attorneys
For acquisitions resolved through consensual agreements, coordinate closings with Subconsultant Title
Company, including release or subordination of financial liens. If an agreement cannot be reached on an
acquisition negotiation, the matter will be discussed with the City. If the City determines that it will resolve
the acquisition through condemnation, submission of a condemnation packet will be a substitute for the
closing coordination.
Deliverables:
Closing packets and final signed and recorded agreements from closings.
Title insurance policies.
Substitution of a condemnation packet for negotiations that cannot be resolved by a consensual
agreement, which the City authorizes condemnation.
Title Subconsultant Deliverable No. 2:
Closings.
Title Insurance Policies
Assumptions:
- Closings for acquisitions from five (5) landowners will be needed. This number may change as
the design advances and ROW impacts are better defined. If more than five (5) closings are
needed, additional fee will need to be negotiated. The Subconsultant Title Company will facilitate
closings, however closings for temporary easement only acquisitions, or low value acquisitions,
may be done by HDR instead of the Subconsultant Title Company, if approved by the City.
- For closings conducted by the Subconsultant Title Company, the City will pay all
Subconsultant Title Company’s closing fees, including recording fees, costs associated
with lien releases, if any, and the cost of title insurance policies.

CONDEMNATIONS
Support for Condemnation Actions
If condemnations are filed, HDR may be requested to provide services to support the condemnation,
including testimony at depositions and hearings, participation in litigation preparation and strategy
meetings, participation in mediations or other alternative dispute resolution efforts, and preparation of
exhibits and trial exhibits. No fee proposal is included for this task because it is difficult to predict how
many, if any, condemnations will be filed. If condemnations are filed and HDR is requested to provide
support services for such condemnations, a separate fee will need to be negotiated for such services.
Assumptions:
- Aside from the possible fees for HDR condemnation support services described herein, the City
will be responsible for all other costs of condemnations, including court filing fees, attorney’s fees
and court costs.
ROW PROJECT SCHEDULE
The HDR team will work with Wheat Ridge to develop a schedule for the tasks described herein. HDR
will monitor progress on the schedule and work with Wheat Ridge to update it, if needed.

REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
TITLE: RESOLUTION NO. 69-2018 – A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE WHEAT RIDGE SANITATION DISTRICT REGARDING 29th AVENUE STREET IMPROVEMENTS
PUBLIC HEARING ORDINANCES FOR 1ST READING BIDS/MOTIONS ORDINANCES FOR 2ND READING RESOLUTIONS
QUASI-JUDICIAL: YES NO _______________________ __ _____________________________
Director of Public Works City Manager
ISSUE: The City has been working for several years with Denver Water and the City of Edgewater on the reconstruction of 29th Avenue between Kendall and Fenton Streets. In order to simplify
design and construction coordination, the City negotiated agreements with Denver Water and the City of Edgewater for the City of Wheat Ridge to construct the improvements and be reimbursed by both entities for their shares. This year, the City was approached by the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District to reach a similar agreement to reconstruct a portion of their sanitary sewer main within the limits of the project.
PRIOR ACTION: On September 10, 2012, City Council approved a special use permit (SUP) with Denver Water to allow for reconstruction of the Ashland Reservoir to replace the original concrete-lined ponds with two smaller tanks. At that same meeting, an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) was also
approved that outlined the responsibilities of Denver Water and the City for improvements to the adjacent streets and streetscape.
Council Action Form – Wheat Ridge Sanitation District Agreement
December 10, 2018
Page 2 On April 24, 2017, City Council designated the street width for 30th Avenue and Fenton Street
adjacent to the Denver Water property. Also included was 29th Avenue between Ingalls and
Fenton Streets. On April 23, 2018, City Council designated the street width for an additional portion of 29th Avenue between Kendall and Ingalls Streets and also re-designated the street width of 29th and
30th Avenues and Fenton Street since construction had not started before the previous street
width designation expired.
On July 9, 2018, City Council approved an IGA with the City of Edgewater that outlined the responsibilities of each city for the cost of the improvements for 29th Avenue between Kendall and Gray Streets. In addition to the street improvements, a waterline will also be installed in 29th
Avenue within the project limits.
On September 24, 2018, City Council approved an IGA amendment with Denver Water that outlined the responsibilities of each entity for the cost of the improvements around the Ashland Reservoir site on 29th and 30th Avenues and Fenton Street.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding for the portion of the street project that was originally Denver Water’s responsibility
will be provided by Denver Water. Likewise, Edgewater will be responsible for the portions of the street project within their jurisdiction as well as the cost of the waterline. In addition, the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District (WRSD) will be responsible for the cost of reconstructing their sanitary sewer line in 29th Avenue within the scope of the project. Denver Water, Edgewater, and
WRSD will reimburse the City for their portions of the work as the pay requests from the
contractor are received.
Funding for the street project was originally approved in the Minor Street Improvement Project line item of the 2018 Capital Improvement Program Budget in the amount of $1,570,000. Based on this estimated cost, the reimbursement from Denver Water and Edgewater would total
$733,375, leaving the City’s budgeted share at $836,625. The above amounts did not include the
underground utility work that is now proposed by Edgewater and WRSD.
Bids were received on July 24, 2018, with the City’s portion being almost 40% over the budgeted amount. Denver Water’s portion is over 60% higher than what was budgeted. This is partly due to the fact the some work on 30th Avenue and Fenton Street was originally to be done
separately by Denver Water and was not included in the budget. The City of Edgewater’s portion
was over twice what was budgeted, partly due to the addition of the waterline construction, which was also not included in the budget. The Wheat Ridge Sanitation District’s portion for the sanitary sewer line was also not included in the budget
In late September 2018, City staff decided to rebid the project for a variety of reasons that were
discussed with City Council on September 24, 2018, including anticipating obtaining better
pricing. In the adopted 2019 budget, the 2018 Estimated column, entries were revised to reflect the original bid prices that were received. The funding breakdown is as follows:

December 10, 2018
Page 3 Total Budget $2,690,000
City of Wheat Ridge Share $1,161,000
Denver Water Share $666,000 City of Edgewater Share $691,000 Wheat Ridge Sanitation District Share $173,000
BACKGROUND: The City of Denver has maintained water storage reservoirs at the Ashland site since the 1890s.
With their construction project, the previous 41-million-gallon reservoirs were replaced with two 10-million gallon concrete tanks. The SUP required that Denver Water add streetscape improvements to the adjacent streets, 29th
and 30th Avenues and Fenton Street. The IGA required that Denver Water assist in the
reconstruction of 29th Avenue to straighten the street. This also included dedication of right-of-way along 29th Avenue. Denver Water was assigned responsibility for reconstructing the north half of 29th Avenue along their frontage with the City being responsible for the remainder of 29th Avenue.
As the City continued to work with Denver Water on this project, it was determined to be in the
best interest of both entities to include Denver Water’s portion of the street and streetscape construction into the City’s project. This simplifies the design and construction coordination and would result in better pricing since all of the work would be done as one large project. In order to provide a logical starting point for the straightening of 29th Avenue, the western limit was
extended to Ingalls Street, with the eastern limit at the alley between Fenton and Eaton Streets.
In mid-June 2017, the City was notified by the City of Edgewater of a potential development proposal for the vacant land south of 29th Avenue between Kendall and Ingalls Streets. In addition to the street improvements, Edgewater desired to construct a waterline between Kendall
and Gray Streets. The line currently stops just south of the intersection of Kendall Street and 29th
Avenue and must be frequently blown out (flushed) due to water quality issues caused by stagnation. The waterline connection is also needed to serve the potential development in Edgewater.
As with Denver Water, both cities saw numerous advantages in coordinating the design and
construction work, including minimizing the impact to the traffic on 29th Avenue, by combining the waterline project with the street project. Edgewater’s waterline plans are currently under review by Denver Water. The draft plans were incorporated into the City’s street plan set. The City will provide the construction oversight of the street project with the waterline construction
being inspected by Edgewater.
In addition, during a coordination meeting that was held earlier this year with the affected utility companies, staff was notified by Wheat Ridge Sanitation District that they needed to replace a sanitary sewer line within the limits of the street reconstruction project. Again, staff saw numerous advantages in coordinating the construction work by combining the sanitary sewer
project with the street project. The District has completed the sanitary sewer plans and they have
Council Action Form – Wheat Ridge Sanitation District Agreement
December 10, 2018
Page 4 been incorporated into the City’s street plan set. The City will provide the construction oversight
of the street project with the sanitary sewer construction being inspected by the District.
On April 4, 2016, and March 7, 2018, neighborhood informational meetings were held to discuss the proposed improvements with neighboring property owners and stakeholders. The second neighborhood meeting included the new segment of 29th Avenue between Kendall and Ingalls Streets. Feedback received at both informational meetings was generally positive.
Negotiations concerning the cost sharing of the mill and overlay of 30th Avenue and Fenton Street and other items delayed the finalization of the amendment to the Denver Water IGA. In addition, the City of Edgewater wanted to reduce their scope of work on their portion of 29th Avenue. They also advised City staff that funds would not be available to reimburse the City
until 2019.
Due to the delays in finalizing the Denver Water IGA amendment and the other issues mentioned above, in late September 2018, City staff decided to reject the bids that were received on July 24, 2018, repackage the bid documents, and rebid the project with a construction start in Spring 2019. The repackaged bid documents were advertised on November 19, 2018 with the bids being
due on December 18, 2018. City staff anticipates bringing the construction contract to City
Council for award in January 2019.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approving the amendment to the IGA with the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District. RECOMMENDED MOTION:
“I move to approve Resolution No. 69-2018, a resolution approving an agreement with the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District regarding 29th Avenue street improvements.” Or,
“I move to postpone indefinitely Resolution No. 69-2018, a resolution approving an agreement with the Wheat Ridge Sanitation District regarding 29th Avenue street improvements for the following reason(s) ________________________.”
