2024 19 Rd. Improvements Project

The City of Fruita is accepting bids for the 2024 19 Rd. Improvements Project.

This project consists of utility, pedestrian and roadway improvements on 19 Rd. between

Highway 6 & 50 and J.2 Rd. in the City of Fruita. Work includes, but is not limited to, traffic

control, the modification of existing and installation of ±1,250’ of new domestic water line

and fittings, ±4,200’ of sanitary sewer line, ±5,000’ of storm drain line, ±2,500’ of irrigation

line, inlets, manholes and diversion boxes, removal of an existing canal box culvert,

installation of ±150’ of new cast-in-place canal box culvert, stormwater BMP installation &

maintenance, earthwork, grading, road reconstruction and widening, removal and

replacement/resetting of fences, driveways, culverts, mailboxes, etc., installation of

concrete curb ramps, traffic islands and sidewalks, and surface restoration/reseeding once

underground and paving improvements are completed. A portion of the work will take place

in the CDOT right-of-way at the intersection of 19 Rd. and Highway 6 & 50.

The project is anticipated to have a delayed construction start of mid-November 2024 in

order to avoid impact to irrigation water delivery; however, if the contractor feels that some

work can take place without disruption to irrigation delivery and with a minimal amount of

impact to traffic on affected roads, the City will consider allowing construction activities to

commence early.
