Projects

Westminster Station – Little Dry Creek

40-acre site development that would provide the community with a Colorado outdoor experience within the City of Westminster – a place dedicated to equity, accessibility, and environmental stewardship. Ponds, lawns, and trails were constructed adjacent to the creek to connect the community and nature while providing shared spaces to walk, exercise, relax, and disconnect from their daily routines. The project involved significant earthwork, excavation, stream restoration, lowering the existing floodplain, a new local road and parking lots to access the RTD Station and park, improved drainage, tiered wall amphitheater gather space including a stage for community events, extensive site lighting, and revegetation using native species to encourage sustainable regrowth.

Project Testimonials

"The CM/GC collaborative effort with CEI, our engineering and architectural design team reduced project costs by more than $3 Million Dollars below the budgeted engineer’s estimate. CEI has collaboratively worked with the design and stakeholder team to provide expert constructability reviews, cost estimates, and value engineering proposals which have added considerable value to the project. CEI is a local Colorado firm and it is clear that they are committed to customer satisfaction and have the professional expertise to effectively manage bid-build contracts as well as non-traditional CM/GC type contracts. A selling point that placed CEI above the completion was their in-house fleet of construction equipment and dedicated resources that they can bring to the project enabling them to self-perform more than 80% of the work."

— Andrew Hawthorn, PE, Senior Engineer, City of Westminster

"The Little Dry Creek Park project is a challenging, dynamic, and schedule constrained project and it was clear during the contractor selection process that CEI was the right contractor for the job."

— Christopher L. Kroeger, P.E., Senior Project Manager, Muller Engineering
