Brush Creek Intersection Contruction Plans

Request for Proposals

Section I. Summary Introduction

Introduction

Gunnison County is seeking a qualified, experienced, and creative firm to provide consulting,

and design for an intersection at Brush Creek and Highway 135 near Crested Butte, Colorado.

Responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP) will be used to identify qualified consultants to

lead the transportation engineering design process from 60% design to construction plans overall

completion.

Background

The Gunnison Valley is amid a transition that will define its future. Population is growing,

recreation styles are evolving, and remote work is opening new possibilities for people who

would otherwise not be able to carve out a living in the remote Rocky Mountains.

This intersection has been a safety and maintenance concern, particularly in the winter, for over

20 years, and the increased traffic has exacerbated the need to resolve the problems. We have

had preliminary engineering done in the past to address the concerns, but had not found a viable

solution that was acceptable to the stakeholders until the most current preliminary design for a

new intersection.

The current consultant has taken public input and studied the alternatives, and with the

concurrence of CDOT, have narrowed the design options to a roundabout. The consultant has

produced the 60% design set and completed the FIR process with CDOT. The County has

secured local, state, and federal funds for the project. CDOT is involved through the Local

Agency office and process.

Gunnison County is committed to this project. This intersection will ultimately serve as an

intersection for motor vehicle traffic, but also as a connector for a trail from Crested Butte South

to the Town of Crested Butte, a transit stop/hub, a community entrance, access to a large

affordable housing development and a trail underpass providing a safe highway crossing.

Gunnison County has invested in the 60% planning and design components of the intersection,

trail, and housing development adjacent to this project, and we have budgeted for more

expenditures. In addition, we are completing property and ROW acquisition to support the

current design.

The alignment and design based on the public, stakeholder, engineering and staff process so far

is as follows:

Request for Proposals

Continued work should substantially align with the completed work that has CDOT approval.

Current work products will be provided to bidders upon request.

Section II. Project Scope

Project Description:

This project will move us from 60% design level to construction ready documents so that we are

prepared to expend grants to complete the project and support the community growth we are

experiencing. We expect the consultant to assist in drafting construction and construction

management RFQ scopes to ensure project success based on the construction plans produced.

The consultant should be prepared for all documents to pass the review of the FHWA and

CDOT. We are committed to pushing this project forward with deliverables in early 2026 and

construction substantially completed by the end of 2026. The current work products should be

used as the starting point.

The County envisions a project team of planners, engineers, estimators, surveyors, transit experts

and other professionals that will deliver a comprehensive document that will lead directly to the

final design and construction of the roundabout that includes trails, an underpass, and transit

stops.
