6. Description of the Project Scope of Work:
(Project Description of the various tasks involved in the project including specific data such as quantities, mileage, square feet, lineal ft. etc. as well as
specific protect location within city and or county etc.)
Weld County requests funding to assist with full depth reconstruction (FDR) of approximately 5.6 miles :•:f WCR
90 from WCR 45.3 and WCR 57. Public Works will mill off the asphalt to a depth suitable for mixing into the
subgrade, then use cement -treated base (CTB) to reinforce the subgrade and pave the roadway with 5" of asphalt
to support truck traffic.
7. Description: (Describe the problem, opportunity or challenge that resulted in the request.)
This collector corridor serves as a main transportation connection between the Wattenberg Energy Field and the
Niobrara Play. WCR 90 is the only paved east -west road in the area and also serves the Purcell community. With
traffic continuing to increase, this roadway is on the County's FDR program list, which involves a 20 -year life
roadway design. The FDR program uses direct distribution severance dollars on roads significantly impacted by
oil and gas activity. However, the County struggles to keep up with road damage. The County cannot afford to
pave every road and increased truck traffic is making it difficult to maintain existing roads. Therefore, Public
Works now uses cement -treated base in new road projects to reinforce the subgrade (below the asphalt) in order
to support truck traffic. We call this program Full Depth Reconstruction (FOR).
8. Local priority if more than one application from the same local government (1 of 2, 2 of 2, etc.) 1 of 1
9. Is the project on a State registered historic site or in a State registered Historic District? Yes( ) No(X ).
If yes, please provide the registry number. . The department may need to seek a determination of effect
from the State Historic Society. For more on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties, please click her. .

currently is today.
2 Measurable Outcomes:
a. Describe measurable outcomes you expect to see when implementation of this project is complete. How will the
project enhance the livability* of your region, county, city, town or community (e.g. constructing a new water plant will
eliminate an unsafe drinking water system and provide safe and reliable drinking water; the construction of a new
community center will provide expanded community services, or projects achieving goals regarding energy conservation,
community heritage, economic development/diversification, traffic congestion, etc.)?
*(Livabuiaty means increasing the vak Me and/ r benefit in the areas that re commitniy Oinked in community development such
as jobs, housing, transnortftion, education, emergency mitigation, heall h and envirinment)
fi
Due to the limited number of paved roads in the vicinity, the value if improving VVCR 90 is significant because
th,ire are no paved east/west county ma r• s in the vicinity, nd par icularly ti the north. Improving WCR 90 will
enhance the paved road connectitns between Sig '4 and HWY N The improvements wHO make the area safer or
all motorists and add years of life to the existing roadway by using in.novatir: technology at thA subgrade level,
which will help with truck traffic deterioration.

E. HIGH PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION (HPCP) PROGR M COMPLIANCE.
Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S. 24-30-1305.5) require all new facilities, additions, and renovation projects that meet
the following applicability criteria to conform with the High Performance Certification Program (HPCP) policy adopted by
the Office of the State Architect (OSA) if:
The project receives 25% or more of state funds; and
The new facility, addition, or renovation project contains 5,000 or more building gross square feet; and
® The building includes an HVAC system; and
In the case of a renovation project, the cost of the renovation exceeds 25% of the current value of the property.
The HPCP requires projects that meet the applicability criteria above to achieve third party verification with the target goal
of LEED Gold or Green Globes -Three Globes. Projects are strongly encouraged to meet the Office of the State
Architect's (OSA) Sustainable Priorities in addition to the LEED prerequisites. Projects funded through DOLA that meet
the above applicability criteria are required to complete the DOLA registration and tracking process. See DOLA's HPCP
web page for more information or contact your DOLA regional manager.
In instances where achievement of LEED Gold or Green Globe -Three Globes certification is not achievable, an applicant
may request a modification of the HPCP policy or a waiver if certain conditions exist. DOLA staff will work with applicants
to identify workable solutions to meet the program's intent to maximize building energy efficiencies.
Please answer the following questions:
(Complete this section only if your project application is for a building project, both new construction as well as
renovation )
1 o Is the applicant seeking state funding for 25% or more of the total project cost (including all phases, if
applicable)? Yes( ) No( )
(If no, the project does not meet the HPCP requirement and the rest of this section does not need to be completed)
Does the building include an HVAC system? Yes( ) No( )
If yes, please check whether the proposed project includes a HVAC upgrade or new HVAC
system.
2. Is this project (check all that apply): new construction renovation new and renovation
New building square footage: SF Renovation square footage: SF
Is the building square footage (new construction and/or renovation) 5,000 SF or more? Yes( ) No( )
3. For building renovation projects:
What is the current property value? (Determine based on assessed or appraised value) $
What is the total project cost for the renovations? $
Does the cost of renovation exceed 25% of the current value of the property? Yes(_) No( )
4e If you answered "yes" to questions 1 2, 35 and if applicable, 49 then your project meets the HPCP
applicability criteria. Compi te the HPCP registration form and preliminary checklist and submit with
this gr :=nt application. (See DOLA's HPCP web page for registration and checklist form.)

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS:
5. Have you included any additional costs in this grant application for third party verification to comply with the
High Performance Certification Program? Yes( ) No( ) If yes, please specify the estimated cost for third
participation verification/certification:$
. Will you need assistance locating resources, third party consultants, or technical assistance for HPCP third
party verification requirements, preparing cost estimates, or otherwise complying with the HPCP?
Yes( ) No( ) Explain
Note: If this application is for design services for a planned building project that meets the HPCP applicability criteria and the applicant
intends to seek state funding for 25% or more of the total project cost, then the design should maximize high performance building
certification standards (by completing the HPCP checklist) and build in anticipated project costs, as appropriate.
