SUMMARY:
Attached is a resolution awarding a construction contract to Montano Concrete, for
Project No. 24-065, Minnequa Lake Concrete Trail.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Ordinance 10711, dated May 30, 2024, approved and accepted a grant agreement from
the State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Colorado Parks and Wildlife,
for a Land, Water, Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant to construct an accessible paved
trail around Lake Minnequa connecting to a fishing dock and playground at Veteran's
Park at Lake Minnequa.
BACKGROUND:
In 2009, the City purchased Lake Minnequa from the steel mill and began developing
the regional stormwater detention facility into a Community Park that would benefit the
entire community. Initially, the trail was developed with gravel, but with time has
become difficult to maintain as an ADA accessible path. The award of the funds will
allow the City to renovate and upgrade the existing trails with new concrete trails. This
new surface will provide accessible routes to the fishing dock, playground area,
restroom and concession, basketball/pickleball courts, sports fields, exercise equipment
and parking lots.
In general, this project will consist of the construction of 6" concrete and 7" reinforced
concrete trails, installation of stormwater pipes, and the installation of shade shelters
and benches at Lake Minnequa Veteran's Memorial Park, 3005 Lakeshore Ave.
This Resolution awards the construction contract to Montano Concrete.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the concrete improvements, in the amount of $777,270.44 plus $97,729.56
for contingencies will be paid from Project CI2113, ARPA Funds.
