City of Cañon City Referendum 2A Program
Citywide street program, Cañon City, CO 81212
In November 2016, Cañon City voters approved Referendum 2A, a one-percent sales tax increase dedicated exclusively to contracting out street repair and replacement. The tax generates an average of $3.5 million a year across a 10-year program — $9 million of design-build work in the first year, 2017, followed by annual design-bid-build programs every year since.<br /> <br /> Vivid serves as the City's prime consultant and owner's representative for the program. Our team performs geotechnical investigations; prepares pavement designs for composite pavement, full-depth reclamation, and asphalt and concrete mill-and-overlay; and delivers civil plans and specifications covering roadway plan and profile, utility relocations, drainage, streetscape and ADA compliance, Safe Routes to School, stormwater management, quantities, and engineer's estimates, with Wilson & Company preparing civil plans as a subconsultant. Vivid supports bid document preparation, bid award, and pre-construction meetings, then serves as construction engineer through the build — providing construction inspection, quality management, and materials testing on every project. The result is a program that has steadily rebuilt the streets Cañon City residents voted to fix.
