INTRODUCTION
A. About Evans
Evans, Colorado is a growing city of 23,000 residents with a small-town feel and a
dynamic economic foundation driven by energy, agriculture, healthcare, and construction.
Known for its diverse and welcoming community, Evans offers a high quality of life with
excellent schools, abundant parks, and easy access to both urban amenities and outdoor
adventures.
Located in Northern Colorado along the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, Evans is
just an hour from Rocky Mountain National Park, providing year-round opportunities for
hiking, biking, and wildlife exploration. The city is also within easy reach of Denver,
Cheyenne, and Denver International Airport, making it well-positioned for economic
growth and accessibility. Historically, Evans was founded in 1867 and incorporated in
1885, playing a key role in regional development along the South Platte River and the
Union Pacific Railroad. Today, the city blends historic roots with modern growth, featuring
new residential developments, commercial expansion, and a strong commitment to
economic resiliency. Evans is currently investing in major infrastructure projects, including
a new police station, expanded roadways, and revitalized public spaces.
With over 300 days of sunshine, a vibrant cultural scene, and a community-driven vision
for the future, Evans is establishing itself as the Community of Choice in Northern
Colorado.
B. Project Objectives
The purpose of this project is to abandon and replace the old and undersized existing 8”
clay sanitary sewer pipeline, located beneath the State Street corridor which stretches
from 37th street to 31st street. The project seeks to improve the capacity of existing 8”
sanitary sewer pipeline with larger 12” PVC sanitary sewer piping to accommodate future
needs and development for the City of Evans. The exact method of replacement of clay
sewer line segments and manholes will be determined during the pre-design work.

mental disability.
