I-25 North Express Lanes Segments 5 & 6; Colorado DOT

Multi-model highway improvement project including complete systems utility relocation and storm drain improvements bus lanes and stations. This project widens I-25 from a 4-lane freeway to a 6-lane freeway plus bus express lanes (north and south). It included 13 bridge structures, full depth pavement replacement, new signals, lighting, striping, signage, drainage, ITS, utilities and surface street improvements. Complex traffic phasing that maintained existing travel lanes maximized stakeholder satisfaction.

The services ICE Teams is providing includes independent cost estimating, risk management, construction scheduling, tracking innovations (cost and time savings), and constructability reviews. Ice Teams had successful contract execution and pricing agreements despite having several iterations of project phasing and funding change requirements that required close communication to understand all the project scope and phasing changes.

“Innovative Contracting and Engineering (ICE) has provided independent cost estimating services for a large, complex CM/GC project in Northern Colorado. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has awarded about 218M with the support of ICE’s services. ICE has continually provided complete and professional Cost Estimates and Schedules for negotiations led by the Department. CDOT would not have been able to award this amount of work without the ongoing support and insight provided by ICE.”
