Completed Projects

Project Overview

It had been a priority for the City of Evans to build and equip a new police station to better serve the community. The previous police station space inside the Evans Community Complex was undersized, outdated, did not provide adequate work or training space or up to date security measures needed to provide adequate public safety services to a growing community.

Under the leadership of the Evans City Council and support by Evans voters to expand the uses of the Food Tax revenue to include the design, construction and equipping of a new police facility, work began in 2021 to locate the ideal site. After securing the location at 3737 St Vrain Street, south of and adjacent to the Evans Community Complex, work began in September of 2025 with the official ground-breaking held on Sept. 19, 2025. Work progressed rapidly thanks to diligent planning and the professional workmanship provided by the general contract FCI Constructors and the station was officially opened in September, 2026 and the ceremonial groundbreaking took place on Oct. 6, 2026. 

The completion of the new police station will enhance public safety operations while providing additional capacity to support the Police Department’s long-term operational needs.

Funding

The new Evans Police Station was funded through the Food Tax. 

Project Status

The project was completed in September 2026. 

Project Overview

In March of 2026, a culvert crossing County Road 394 between County Roads 33 and 35 failed. The city worked to design a solution that would ensure long-term integrity of repairs and worked with adjacent property owners to ensure minimal disruption to nearby agricultural operations.

Funding

The City of Evans contracted with Sanbell in June 2026 to design a  replacement for the failed culvert and ensure long-lasting integrity of the culvert and roadway in the amount of $96,183.59.

Project Status

This project was completed on September 23, 2026 with the roadway open to all traffic the following day. 

Project Overview

37th Street serves as the City's primary east-west thoroughfare. With the city and region growing at a high rate, the Evans City Council identified this roadway as a must for expansion in order to accommodate current and future traffic needs, facilitate economic expansion, and improve the overall livability of the City. The project to widen 37th Street is the Evans' portion of the Freedom Parkway Project which will see this roadway (Weld County Road 54 west of Evans city limits) expanded over time to four lanes in both directions from I-25 to Town of Kersey.   

Due to the scope of this project, the City is required to conduct expansion work in phases. The first phase, which extended from 47th Avenue in the west to Sienna Avenue and included the construction of the roundabout at 47th Avenue, was completed in 2023. The next section, Phase 2A, widened the roadway from the conclusion of 2023 work at Sienna Avenue east to Stampede Drive, and was completed in 2024. 

In 2025, Phase 2B widened the roadway to four lanes with a landscaped center median, identical to first two phases, from Stampede Drive to 35th Avenue. 

Funding

The City initially budgeted $5,710,000 for this project. On May 6, 2025, the Evans City Council approved a contract in a not-to-exceed amount of $3,971,724.90 from the Street Impact Fund and Road Tax fund. 

Project Status

This project was completed in early November 2025. 

Project Overview

To improve safety and traffic efficiency at the 23rd Avenue / 34th Street intersection, the installation of a four-way traffic signal and four associated pedestrian poles was determined the best course of action for the City to take. This intersection is in the immediate vicinity of two elementary schools and lies in the heart of one of the City's primary commercial corridors.

In 2024, the City contracted Benesch to complete the engineering design for the installation of the signal and the City subsequently worked to procure long lead items necessary for construction. Consistent with the City's competitive bid process, bids were solicited on March 20, 2025. Seven contractors submitted valid bids with Lumin8 Transportation Technologies offering the low bid. Along with the low bid, the City has enjoyed a successful relationship with Lumin8 and the firm has completed several projects in satisfactory fashion for the City in the past. The City Council approved the bid unanimously at the May 6, 2025 regular meeting.

This project was completed in early September of 2025. 

Project Overview

In 2025, the Evans City Council chose to use funds generated by The Road Ahead 1% sales and use tax to complete three large-scale projects that would provide considerable public benefit. The 2025 major roads projects involved the mill and overlay of both 17th and 23rd Avenues between 32nd and 37th Streets and the full-depth reconstruction of 42nd Street / Prairie View Drive from 35th Avenue to 23rd Avenue.

It was decided that after many minor repairs had been made on collector and neighborhood streets all across the city since the inception of The Road Ahead 1% tax, that upgrades to three of the city’s principal arterial thoroughfares would provide lasting impact on some of Evans’ busiest streets, help attract and retain businesses, and contribute to improving the overall quality of life in the city.

Work began in late April 2025 with concrete replacement work on the shoulders and adjacent sidewalks of 17th Avenue. During the first week of May, the process began to mill & overlay 17th Avenue; work was completed on May 16. A nearly identical process was used on 23rd Avenue, with work on that roadway being completed in early June. 

The full-depth reconstruction of 42nd Street / Prairie View Drive was a more complex project that took considerably longer to complete. The project required the removal of the decaying asphalt surface as well as the road base, and rehabilitation of the subgrade. Concrete work along the center median and curb and gutter areas was also completed. A new road base and asphalt surface was poured. Work wrapped up on this project in early November 2025. 

Funding

This project was funded using the 1% Road Ahead  sales tax. $5,000,000 was initially budgeted for the work and the Evans City Council voted to approve a contract with Martin Marietta on Jan. 21, 2025 for a not-to-exceed amount of $4,105,300. In line with the city’s new procurement policies, a subsequent contract with RockSol Consulting Group for $163,462.06 to serve as construction manager for the projects was approved on March 4, 2025. The excess amount of $731,237.94 was carried forward into 2026 for further work on major segments of the city's surface transportation network. 

Project Status

This project was completed in late October 2025.

Project Overview

The replacement of the aging and obsolete equipment at Renaissance Park - located at 3501 Sienna Avenue in the Tuscany subdivision - had been in the planning stages for the last couple of years. As part of the commitment to furthering the evolution of Evans into a community of choice, improvements at our city parks and public spaces is a high priority. 

In late 2024 and early 2025, city staff solicited quotes and design proposals for qualified vendors. Following review of the submitted proposals, the city selected GameTime Altitude based on the firm's proven record, responsiveness, and successful past projects in Evans. 

GameTime Altitude presented several different design concepts to the Evans Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, who reviewed the proposals and made a recommendation to the city council. On June 3, 2025, the city council approved the design proposal that was recommended from the advisory board. 

Funding

This project had a budget of $750,000 for the new playground equipment, pour-in-place soft surface, the removal of the old playground components, and installation of the new equipment. The funds for this project came from the city's Conservation Trust Fund, which derives its balance from proceeds from the Colorado Lottery that are disbursed by the State of Colorado to municipalities for parks, open space, and conservation projects. 

Project Status

The project was completed in November 2025 and an official ribbon cutting ceremony took place on Nov. 19, 2025. 

Project Overview

As Evans continues to invest in parks and public spaces - aiming to improve quality of life and foster community connectedness - another milestone was reached in 2025 with the completion of Hunter's Reserve Park at 3800 29th Avenue. This project transformed what was an empty field next to a stormwater detention pond into an active neighborhood park complete with a small playground, walking trail, picnic pavilion, and large open lawn space. Work on this project got underway on May 7, 2024 when the Evans City Council selected a proposal from BrightView Landscape Development to develop the formerly vacant space into a public park.

Funding

This project was funded by Park Impact Fees - fees paid by new development to supplement increased demand for public services caused by population increases. At the March 18, 2025 Evans City Council meeting, unanimous approval was given to the final design concept and associated contract with BrightView for a not-to-exceed amount of $817,391.66. 

Project Status

The project was completed in October 2025. 

The Evans City Council budgeted $350,000 from the Conservation Trust Fund - funds generated by the Colorado Lottery and disbursed by the State of Colorado to municipalities for parks, recreation, open space and conservation projects - in the 2024 budget for the rehabilitation of the Ridge Park playground. The city also received a very generous donation of $350,000 from Chevron Energy, which significantly improved the project's scope. The council reviewed various proposals submitted for design plans before selecting the concept put forth from GameTime Altitude that installed a custom-made, one-of-a-kind playground structure and associated components in the City of Evans color scheme. The old equipment was removed and work to install the new playground began in February 2025. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held in 2025 to officially open is exquisite new playground. This was a great example a public-private partnership that provided enormous benefit to the community and it could not have been possible without the support from Chevron Energy. 

The southwest corner of the 47th Avenue / 37th Street intersection sits adjacent to Arrowhead Reservoir and serves as an ideal location to create a focal gateway in the western portion of Evans. The city solicited bids for design and construction in 2024 and 2025, with final approval for the construction contract with Tuston Construction coming at the Feb. 18, 2025 city council meeting. The approved contract for the work totaled $649,870.91, with the standard 10% contingency. This project was funded by the Park Impact Fund. 

This open space park includes paved parking, natural foliage, a walking trail, scenic overlook of Arrowhead Reservoir, a small picnic shelter and portalet enclosure. The project was completed and the park opened to the public in the late fall of 2025. 

Each year, as part of the annual Capital Improvements Projects budget which is funded in part by the 1% Road Tax, the City's Engineering Division prepares plans for concrete replacement work  to remedy damaged, settled and lifted concrete that has the potential to create hazards for motorists and pedestrians, drainage problems and incongruous roadway and sidewalk segments.

In compliance with the City's procurement policies, a competitive bid opening was held in 2024 for a concrete replacement contract with a City option to renew the contract for three (3) years subsequent. Following the work completed in 2024 to the City's satisfaction with the quality of work, the timeliness of completion and respect for private property, the original low bid submitted by Burnt Mountain Services, LLC, was recommended for renewal by City Staff and approved unanimously by the City Council on Feb. 4, 2025. Work on these projects across the City, see attached maps below, will begin in March with targeted completion in May. Very little disruption to the flow of traffic is expected while this work is on-going.

2024 Concrete Replacement Maps

This project is intended light up areas of Evans that do not have adequate street lighting using funds from a grant that Evans received from Colorado Department of Public Safety Division of Criminal Justice. The grant funds will be used to design, procure, and install streetlights in the vicinity of Highway 85 in areas with limited street lighting in effort to improve safety.

To provide complete design, installation, and purchasing of materials to install 58 Evans style local ornamental streetlights within (3) three identified zones of service and one add alternate zone of service (Zone 4) with an additional 10 Evans style local ornamental streetlights, for a possible total of 68 streetlights. 

Each lighting zone will be individually metered and will become the sole property of the City of Evans Lighting District. The City would also like a fourth zone to be designed that will continue along the frontage roads along the west side of U.S. 85 to the city limits ending at the South Platte River.

See attached Vicinity Maps. Installation of the streetlights in Zone 4 will be dependent upon sufficient funding available to complete Add Alternate No.1 in its entirety.
