SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approved award of an emergency construction contract to Parker
Excavating, Inc., for Project No. 23-044 West 31st Street at Wild Horse Creek - Emergency
Repair.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
On December 13, 2022, the City of Pueblo Public Works Department received an Essential
Repair Letter (ERL) from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for URGENT
st
priority repairs needed on the bridge at West 31 Street over the Wild Horse Creek. CDOT
uses a third-party engineering firm (Stantec) to annually inspect all City of Pueblo bridges and
culverts within the CDOT inspection program. There are approximately 41 city bridges and
major culverts that are enrolled in this inspection program. In the most recent inspection,
conducted on December 6, 2022, Stantec found that the approach sidewalk just northwest of
the culvert is severely undermined and has caused the curb and gutter and sidewalk to settle.
This settling is preventing storm water drainage from flowing properly to the inlets. Water is
overflowing the sidewalk and eroding the embankment, further exacerbating the settling and
undermining of the sidewalk.
In general, this project will consist of replacing the settled sidewalk along with the curb and
gutter sections to return them to the correct elevations, filling in the void areas under the
sidewalk, repairs to the roadway, and stabilizing the embankment.
The Resolution ratifies the emergency construction contract that was awarded to Parker
Excavating, Inc.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding (including contingencies) in the amount of $68,774.20 will be paid from account
CI2309, Road & Street Repairs.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Not approving this Resolution would require a finding that there was not an emergency
condition.
RECOMMENDATION:
