General Statement of Work:

The City and County of Denver (City) is seeking an Engineering firm (Consultant) to provide design services for the Sheridan Boulevard (SH-95), Morrison Road, and Mississippi Avenue Intersection Improvements Project (Project). See Figure 1 in Section 3, Scope of Work for a map of the project area. Sheridan Blvd is a CDOT State Highway that is subject to a contract maintenance agreement with the City. Most of the proposed work is within CDOT ROW.

The Project implements operational and safety improvements identified by a Road Safety Audit performed as part of the City and County of Denver’s (CCD) Vision Zero Road Safety Audit Program. The project consists of the design and construction of the following elements:

1. Reconstruct the existing Traffic Signal including replacement of poles, mast arms, signal heads, controllers, and related equipment.
2. Modify Signal Timing and Phasing.
3. Modify westbound to northbound right turn slip lane approach angle and turning radius.
4. Modify eastbound to southbound right turn slip lane approach angle and turning radius.
5. Relocate crosswalk across south leg of the intersection.
6. Prohibit northbound right-turns on red.
7. Provide enhanced pedestrian signals on all movements.
8. Reconstruct curb ramps and other pedestrian amenities for compliance with current ADA standards.
9. Mill and resurface all impacted areas.

These elements would calm traffic, improve access for people with disabilities, reduce vehicle crashes, increase pedestrian safety at the intersection, which is on the City’s High Injury Network, and would replace equipment that is outdated or beyond its service life.
