Municipal & Right-of-Way Concrete Work

Serving the Denver Metro

Municipal and right-of-way concrete is built to spec or it gets rejected. There’s no gray area — public works inspectors check slope, dimensions, joint placement, surface finish, and compliance with ADA standards, and work that doesn’t meet the requirement comes out and gets redone. For a contractor, that means you either know what you’re doing going in or you’re absorbing the cost of doing it twice.

Guizar Concrete Construction has direct experience with municipal and right-of-way work across the Denver metro. We’re familiar with inspection processes, city and county specifications, and what it takes to build public infrastructure concrete to the tolerances required — not just to what passes on a quick visual. We handle permitting and coordinate inspections as standard practice.

Municipal and ROW Concrete Services

Our municipal and right-of-way work includes sidewalk installation and replacement, curb and gutter, ADA-compliant curb ramps with truncated dome detectable warning surfaces, concrete medians and traffic islands, public flatwork in the right-of-way, and concrete tied to road construction or utility installation projects.

Permitting, Inspections, and Spec Compliance

Every municipality in the Denver metro has its own right-of-way specifications. Denver Public Works, CDOT, and city public works departments across Adams, Arapahoe, Jefferson, and Weld counties each publish standards covering mix design, reinforcement, finishing, curing, and joint spacing. We work within those standards. We apply for right-of-way permits as part of job setup, coordinate pre-construction meetings with public works inspectors when required, and schedule intermediate and final inspections at the right stages.

ADA compliance on public projects is built to spec, not approximated. Curb ramp cross-slopes, running slopes, landing dimensions, and detectable warning surface placement are reviewed at inspection. We approach those dimensions as exact requirements — not targets to get close to. Work that doesn’t meet ADA spec on a public project is a liability for the municipality and a cost problem for everyone involved.

Experience That Translates

ADA ramp construction is something we’ve done in real conditions, under real scrutiny. In 2020, Alfredo and the crew replaced a dangerously non-compliant wheelchair ramp for an elderly Denver resident who couldn’t leave her own home because of how it had been built — too steep, too narrow, no proper landing. They took it out and poured a compliant replacement at no charge. Denver7 covered it. It’s the kind of work that matters when you get it wrong — and we know what right looks like.

Working With GCs and Municipalities Directly

We work as a concrete subcontractor on larger public projects managed by a GC, and we also bid and work directly with municipalities and public agencies on standalone scopes. If you’re a city, county, or public works department with a concrete scope to bid, reach out directly. If you’re a GC looking for a concrete sub with ROW experience, we can discuss the scope and provide a plan-based estimate.

Right-of-way projects often require traffic control, coordination with adjacent property owners, and scheduling around utility conflicts. We handle that coordination proactively — flagging conflicts early rather than discovering them during construction when they’re harder and more expensive to resolve.

Frequently Asked Questions

What permits are required for ROW concrete work in the Denver metro?

Any concrete work in the public right-of-way — sidewalk replacement, curb ramp installation, curb and gutter work — typically requires a right-of-way permit from the applicable city or county. Some municipalities also require a pre-construction meeting with a public works inspector before work begins. Permit requirements vary across the Denver metro jurisdictions we work in. We handle the permit application as part of project setup and factor the timeline into scheduling.

Do you work directly with municipalities or only as a sub?

Both. We work as a sub to GCs on larger public projects and directly with municipalities and government entities on smaller or standalone scopes. If you’re a public works department or agency with a concrete scope to bid, contact us directly and we’ll discuss the project.

How do you handle scheduling when a project involves lane closures?

ROW work with traffic impacts requires a traffic control plan as part of the permit package, and sometimes coordination with CDOT depending on the road classification. We account for traffic management requirements in project cost and scheduling from the bid stage — not as a change order after work starts. We’re set up to coordinate with traffic control contractors and work within the lane closure windows approved by the municipality.
