Construction Management

A Construction Management Plan is a combination of diagrams, documents, drawings, and specifications that clearly define the steps that will be taken to demonstrate how the impacts to the community will be minimized. How the impacts associated with any construction project will be managed. Herein described as “Plan” throughout the remainder of this policy.

Specific indoor activities during restricted periods may be permitted with approval from the City of Aspen Engineering Department; specific conditions will be applied to each project separately. During the offseason 24 hour a day interior work may be permitted within the CRA, the applicant must present a work plan to the City of Aspen Engineering Department and the plan must be approved prior to working outside of the normal construction hours. 

Additional restrictions on construction hours and encroachments will be applied for Aspen Special Events. Examples of events that will require additional restrictions include the USA Pro Cycling Challenge and the Farmer’s Market. 

Additional restrictions on construction hours will also be applied based on the project’s specific impacts on adjoining properties. This includes limiting work during sales events (for a maximum of two sales events per year), maintaining site lines to these businesses, and providing signage on the construction site advertising the adjacent business. For example, if an adjoining business has an event (such as a semiannual sale) the project will accommodate this adjoining business to ensure the construction activities do no adversely affect that business’s event.
