U.S. 50, PARKDALE BRIDGE PROJECT
MAY BEAT JUNE 1 DEADLINE
Motorists traveling U.S. 50 near Canon City could begin using the new Parkdale
bridge a week sooner than expected, if contractor crews and fair skies persist the
way they have been.
The photograph shows contract progress as of May 10, with construction of the
concrete bridge north of a temporary, one lane bridge opened to traffic March 15.

A steel truss bridge at the site ten miles west of Canon City was closed
February 7 following a tractor-trailer accident.
The bridge deck for the $393,113 project was poured May 10 and curbs were
set May 14 and 15. Some backfill , gravel and guardrail work remains along with
restriping traffic lanes. Civil Constructors, Inc. of Carbondale may earn
$3,000 per day incentive bonus for opening the bridge to traffic before June 1 .
The new bridge will have two 12-ft. driving lanes and 8-ft. shoulders.
The Colorado Department of Highways public information officer is working with
the National Highway 50 Federation, Royal Gorge operators, and community
chambers of commerce to arrange a dedication ceremony which will open the new
bridge to traffic. The date and time, tentatively May 25 but subject to weather
and other factors, will be announced when construction progress allows.

NEW BIDDING RULES
TAKE EFFECT MAY 30
Following a public hearing process the Colorado Department of Highways
has adopted revised rules dealing with road and bridge project bidding. Effective
May 30, the new rules pertain to "Prequalification, Debarment, Bidding and Work
on Colorado Department of Highways' Road, Highway and Bridge Public Projects."
The rules streamline the prequalification process and debarment process,
in that contractors may now appeal directly to the Chief Engineer. Previously
an informal process involved the agency's Staff Construction Engineer and ended
with final appeal to the Executive Director.
A chapter on competitive, sealed bidding requires the Department to make
a "determination of non-responsibility" as part of the award process. This con-
solidates the actions necessary for a contract to be awarded after bids are opened.
Another chapter covers "Construction of Projects by CDOH With Its Own
Forces." Competitive sealed bidding by the state highway agency is also explained.
Copies of the rules are available from the Staff Construction branch,
Lolorado Department of Highways, 4201 E. Arkansas Ave. , Denver.
