Contract Control Number:
Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”): The Denver Rock Island Railroad
Type and Scope of services to be performed:
In 2015, City Council adopted a NWC Master Plan that calls for removing barriers and opening access to the river South Platte River. The City's NWC construction team is now working with numerous local and regional partners to open the riverfront open space to the public year-round. A portion of this work will move two older DRIR rail lines running near the river, rebuilding them in a controlled rail corridor adjacent to the BNSF and RTD lines. This is a critical component to allow access to the river, provide needed environmental clean-up, and increase the safety and efficiency of rail circulation.
