HDR was contracted to perform property acquisition services for the pedestrian bridge, plazas, and trail improvements at the Wheat Ridge · Ward Station area in 2019 that were then suspended in 2020 to divert funding to the Clear Creek Crossing access ramp project. An amendment was executed in early 2022 to restart the project, using Renewal Wheat Ridge bond funding. The JeffCo Subregional Forum approved funding for this project in early August and the DRCOG Board is expected to award the funding in late September. Because this additional funding is from the federal government, an amendment to task order #2 of the contract with HDR needs to be approved for the additional tasks related to completing this project following the federal process.
