The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) in USA has selected Kraemer North America as the contractor to rebuild the damaged portion of eastbound US 36 between Wadsworth Boulevard and 104th/Church Ranch Boulevard. This section of the roadway collapsed with the failure of the retaining wall.
The project will be built using a streamlined contracting mechanism called Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) to get the damaged road rebuilt as safely and as efficiently as possible. GMGC is a competitive contracting method that can be utilized quickly, making it a useful tool in an emergency situation.
CDOT designers teamed up with consultant experts, David Evans and RJ Engineering, and they will prepare the design for rebuilding. Under the CMGC system, the builder, Kraemer, will work with the design team to come up with the most feasible and final design of the project. When the design is complete, the construction cost will be determined. Until then, there is no estimation of cost to rebuild the damaged section of EB US 36. Once the design is complete, the construction begins.
