B. Eagle Project –Districts B, C, J, L and M (Directors Hoy, Malpiede, Deadwyler, Anderson

and Cohen)

Utility relocations, demolition, and grading activities continue to be the focus of

construction. Bridge work is progressing with the completion of the Broadway Bridge,

progress at Sand Creek, Peña Bridge, Quebec and the Jersey cut-off bridge. Construction

work is expected to continue to become more visible during the summer.

A meeting was held with DTP and all the major suppliers of the Hyundai-Rotem commuter

rail vehicles on June 19. The quarterly meeting with Hyundai-Rotem was held on June 20.

Gold Line—Districts C, J, L and M (Directors Malpiede, Hoy, Anderson and Cohen)

DTP and RTD are currently addressing comments made by Adam’s County on the 100%

design plans. Several of the outstanding issues include changes to the Federal Station, the

Clay Street Pedestrian Trail and drainage box, and updated traffic studies to determine

whether additional traffic signals are needed before opening day near the CRT stations.

DTP and RTD are working with BNSF on the placement of the overhead catenary system

(OCS) poles on RTD right-of-way. BNSF has requested that no poles be placed between

RTD and BNSF tracks due to safety concerns in the event of a derailment. DTP has

prepared a technical memorandum addressing BNSF concerns on the NWES and based on

feedback from this correspondence DTP will address this issue on the Gold Line

You can visit the Gold Line website at http://www.rtd-fastracks.com/gl_1 for more

information.

East Corridor – District B (Director Deadwyler)

RTD and DTP are working to address the remaining CCD issues including: Smith Road

improvements (from Kearney to Quebec), Havana intersection pavement type, and

drainage conditions from 31st to 35th street. Progress is being made at DIA with approval

of the MSE aesthetic panels, and conditional approval for the Peña Boulevard Bridge. The

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has provided approval for work at the airport.

The Peoria grade-separation project, being managed by CCD/Aurora, interfaces with the

East Corridor. The stated preferred alternative (PA) is to have Peoria over the rail and to

the west of the existing roadway to expedite construction. The two teams are currently

working through scheduling details related to placement of the overpass superstructure in

conjunction with systems work being performed by DTP. Additionally the overpass needs

to be substantially complete in order to accommodate closure of the at-grade existing

Peoria Street prior to section proving and pre-revenue testing currently scheduled for

December 2014. These issues are expected to be finalized after the design/build

contractor is selected late this summer.

Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility - (All RTD Director Districts)

Design of the maintenance facility has commenced along with the acquisition of the

required properties. RTD has reviewed the 100% design submittal for the yard area and

DTP has addressed all of RTD’s comments. DTP has submitted CRMF site drawings to the

City and County of Denver for review and has moved past the concept review stage and a

http://www.rtd-fastracks.com/gl_1


June 29, 2012

formal review will now take place. DTP has started demolition and grading work for four of

the five properties of the CRMF site. DTP, with sub-contractor PCL and architect Gannett

Fleming, continue to hold Technical Working Group meetings to further the design of the

Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility.

The design has reached the 90% milestone for the CRMF. This package is being put on

hold while the possibility of adding an additional section of the building is being reviewed

for the North Metro commuter rail line. This in depth review will take about 3-4 weeks and

will address all scope issues with the additional work. RTD will re-evaluate the possibility

of doing a full buildout of the CRMF now, and give DTP further direction from there. A

30% Design Package for the separate wash bay building will be coming soon as well.

Northwest Electrified Segment – Districts C, I, and K (Directors Malpiede, Hoy, and

Williams) – no change to previous report

Staff updated the Board on these IGAs at the December 6 FasTracks Monitoring

Committee meeting. On May 22, the Board approved right-of-way acquisition for this

segment. Right of way acquisition is proceeding. A groundbreaking event was held in

The RTD FasTracks staff met with the City of Aurora staff to discuss the implementation

of a parking structure at the Iliff Station as an alternative to the current design for a

surface Park-n-Ride. The RTD Staff have agreed with the current conceptual plan for the

revised plan and will provide the City of Aurora Staff with deal points. The deal points will

be the basis for an IGA between RTD and Aurora and would identify scope and

responsibilities. Funding for the structure including design, construction and maintenance

will also have to be addressed in the IGA.

Pine Junction park-n-Ride Relocation Project- District N (Director Daly)

RTD engineering will issue bid package documents to RTD procurement for IFB issuance

by the end of June if CDOT receives certain required documentation. RTD engineering and

construction completed geotechnical testing & evaluation of borrow fill material. The fill

material appears to be technically acceptable. RTD met with the owner of the fill material

on June 6. The owner is willing to donate 10,000 cubic yards of fill material from a site

conveniently close to the proposed pnR and also willing to sell the balance of the project

needs from another site at a very favorable cost. RTD engineering submitted the Driver

Relief Station plans to Jefferson County Building Department for obtaining a building

permit. It is very probable that the contractor will begin work on the site during

September 2012. Therefore, monitoring of nesting activities by migratory birds is now

complete, as the construction activities are planned to be outside the nesting season.

over $68 million in funds requests:

1. Civic Center Rehabilitation Project

2. Deferred Maintenance Projects

3. 16th Street Mall Reconstruction Project (under Livability and State of Good Repair)

4. Transit Bus Procurement Project

5. Mall shuttle replacement

6. Electric Buses

Notice of award for these grants is anticipated sometime in July.

Staff was notified on June 19 that the Transportation Investments Generating Economic

Recovery (TIGER) grant for the 16th Street Mall Reconstruction Project was unsuccessful in

receiving any Federal funds. However, the North I-25 HOV lanes project submitted by

CDOT and supported by RTD was awarded $15 million in TIGER funds.
