Following a qualifications process, the JPPHA board of directors chose three teams from five submissions to proceed to the request for proposal phase.
“Each team brings substantial financial capacity, proven engineering expertise, significant construction experience and knowledgeable operations and maintenance personnel that will be needed in a regional infrastructure project of this size,” states a press release from the JPPHA.
All three of the teams have experience with infrastructure projects in Colorado — whether it be construction, design or financing — through one or more of the groups’ team member companies. Some of these projects include I-70 in a number of locations and I-25; as well as the Northwest Parkway and E-470.

Principals of the team: Kiewit, a transportation contractor; DIF, an independent infrastructure fund; and Northleaf Capital, an investment team.
“We are enthusiastic to complete what we started over 20 years ago … JBCP is excited at the prospect of delivering the Jefferson Parkway project — the long-awaited segment of beltway that will bring unsurpassed connectivity to metro Denver.”
Jefferson Expressway Group (JEFFEX)
Principals of the team: ACS, an international construction and infrastructure development company; Hochtief, a construction group; Flatiron, an infrastructure contractor; and WSP, a consultant company.
“JEFFEX will deliver the final segment of the Beltway so that neighborhoods are better connected, drivers experience shorter and more reliable journey times and improved road safety is guaranteed.”
