The City and County of Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) awarded a three‑year, on‑call professional‑services contract to HDR Engineering, Inc. to provide planning, design, and infrastructure consulting for the redevelopment of the 60‑acre Burnham Yard rail‑yard site in downtown Denver. The work will coordinate with the Community Planning and Development Department, Colorado Department of Transportation, and state P3 units, and will address transit‑oriented development, rail‑line improvements, bridge and under‑pass redesign, and environmental remediation. The contract ceiling is set at $50 million, with funding anticipated from DRCOG TIP dollars and a potential FRA CRISI grant. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation is required on a task‑order basis.
• Scope includes master planning, NEPA clearance, 30 % design, and coordination of multi‑modal infrastructure upgrades.
• The contract is structured as an on‑call IDIQ, allowing DOTI to issue individual task orders as funding becomes available.
• Vendor must meet DBE/E‑DI requirements, maintain required insurance coverages, and submit all proposals electronically via BidNet.
