Denver 22~ Colorado September 13, 1960 In accordance with instructions from you and Mr o Babcock of the City of Englewood, we have made preliminary engineering studies on an access road and bridge to provide a crossing of the Highline Canal in the vicinity of Dad Clark Gulch Damsiteo · Enclosed are drawings of two types of bridges, either of which can be utilized, and a drawing showing the preliminary road layout connecting the bridge m th the County Line Roa.do Five diff ei"ent types of bridges were irornstigated and c.\?st estimates madeo Each tJPS of bridge was investigated for both 3 spans and a single span with abuttments along the high water line of the canal, as shown on the attached drawingo An H-10 loading was used for design purposes in all caseso The two most satisfactory types of bridges ware chosen and are sha.1n on the attachmento It was also determined that -~he three span bridge would be most staisfaetory in order to eliminate abuttment scour problems., The cost of a 15 foot wide, precast=reinforced concrete bridge is estimated to be approximately $42000 A 14 foot wide concrete and steel composite bridge would also cost about $42000 Based on the investigation, it is recommended that a 15 foot wide precast=reinforced concrete bridge with three spans be constructed for this projecto This type of r!"idge will permit widening in the future, at the smallest expense, to take care of any increased trafffu o The proposed access road as shown has a width of 24 feet from shoulder to shouldero The preliminary design 'l!las performed using a -2;1 sidoslope on both cut and fill which will be stable and limit errosion problems i.71 the futureo The road has a 4 percent grade throughout 1hich il3 also continued across tha bridge to the westerly feDCe of the canal RON o The mi'lllrru.m radius of cUl-vature on the road is 100 feet which will permit a safe auto speed of about 15 miles per hou.ra The proposed road will have a gravel surface of twenty feet width which will safely permit t10 vehicles to pass each other in opposite di.rectionso The estimated cost of the road as shown is ~~5750o Please do not hesitate to call us on any questions you may have concerning this preliminary design worko As soon as you decide to proceed into final design and construction, ~e are in a position to begin on final design, contract specifications, and advertising for bids for the project. We would ~lso be happy to discuss Tiith you the bridge designs investigated, but not shown on the drawingso cc: 11.{ro Harold Babcock" Very truly yours, WHEELER AND WRIGHT By: /S/ Kenneth Ro Wright 1'VJHEELER AND WRIGHT Consulting Eng:ineers Office Noo 5 213 3 South Bellaire Street Denver 22, Colorado Mro Mo Oo Shivers, Jro 3470 South Sherman Street Englewood, Colorado Dear Mro Shivers: September 18, 1960 Re: Access Road and Bridge to Kamphausen Lando This letter is a supplement to our report ta you dated September 13 1 19609 regarding the preliminary engineering investigations on the access road and bridge across the Highline Canal to the Kamphausen tract in the vicinity of the Dad CJa rk Gulch Damsi te. As previously stated_, the cost of $5750 is for a completed road ready for traffic with a Colorado State Highway Department, Grade ncn type gravel surface o This cost also includes guard rails and a Colorado State High-nay Depr;::r&ment Class 3 type sub=ba.seo If 1 however, it is wished by the City to reduce the initial expenditure at this time, it would be possible to construct the road only up to the bottom of the sub-base, completing the road at a later dateo This would permit the Kampha.usens to drive to their property, but it would by no means be adequate for any large amount of traffico It would also be necessary to fence off the road at the County line Road so as not to create a possible hazard to the geooral publico The cost estimates of the various increments which could be eliminated are as follows: l) Sub-base materialo 2) Surfacing materialo 3) Guard Postso 4) Reduction in cont:ingencies $ 850000 $1080000 ~ 750000 $ 200000 $2880000 Thus, it is seen t.hat the cos·i; of the access road c:m be reduced by about $2 880 f-rom the estimated $5750.. 'fhis would t.'1sn c.ean a present cost o! abaut $2900 for the roadway up to tha bottom of the sub-base. At a future time the road can be completed by re· ... finishing tJ1e surface of the roadway with a grader and placing the sub-base and gravel sm:fe>cing together with the guard posts and cablec Very truly you:rs, WHEELER AND WRIGHT By_:. •• /f:l Kenneth R.
