I-70 Floyd Hill Improvement Project · Pacing

Is the money keeping pace with the calendar?

CDOT posts a dashboard for each of the 4 I-70 Floyd Hill Improvement Project construction contracts every month. Each chart puts three of its figures on one scale. They are the share of contract time used, the share of the contract value paid, and CDOT's own construction percent complete. The shaded band between money and time shows whether payments run ahead of the calendar or behind it.

Paid % = the sum of payments ÷ the sum of contract values. Time used % = the sum of (each contract's time used % × its value) ÷ the sum of values, so each contract counts in proportion to its dollars. Gap in percentage points = paid % − time used %. Gap in dollars = the sum of the contracts' own dollar gaps.

Shown only for months when every contract printed a dashboard, from May 2025, the first month the central section dashboard reports its current contract. In April 2026 the central section carries 67.7% of the combined contract value, so the combined line mostly follows it. The sum is ours, and CDOT prints no total for the project.

On these 4 contracts, CDOT's construction percent complete equals days elapsed ÷ days total in 81 of 82 monthly dashboards, so it tracks the calendar, not the work done.

How these numbers are made

Labels

FACT printed on CDOT's monthly dashboard for that contract and month. Every chart readout and table row links the document it came from.
CALC our arithmetic on those figures, with the formula stated here.

Formulas

Time used % = days elapsed ÷ days total, both as CDOT prints them.
Paid % = payments to date ÷ current contract value. With the toggle, it is ÷ initial contract value instead. Change orders move the current value, so the two can differ.
Gap, in percentage points = paid % − time used %. It is a difference of two percentages, so it is in percentage points, not percent. Above zero, the contract is paid ahead of the calendar (red, striped, ▲). Below zero, it is paid behind the calendar (green, dotted, ▼).
Gap, in dollars = payments to date − time used % × contract value. It is how far payments sit from what an even pace would have paid by then.
An even pace is our baseline, not CDOT's plan. It assumes the money is paid at the same rate as the contract's days pass, and it is the straight time line on each chart. CDOT does not publish an expected spending curve for these contracts. Construction spending rarely keeps a steady rate: mobilization and early materials run ahead, winter slows work, closeout runs behind, and retainage holds back part of each payment. So a red or green band is a question to ask, not a verdict. It compares money with time, never with the work done.
All 4 contracts together uses each contract's current contract only, and only the months when all 4 printed a dashboard. CDOT's construction percent in the combined readout is weighted by value, the same way as time used.
A dashboard's payments to date can only rise. When the figure falls, the dashboard has moved to a different contract under the same project number. That happens on 2 contracts. The west section reads $8.17M from November 2023, then $102.26M from April 2024. The central section reads $19.73M from December 2023, then $459.31M from May 2025. CDOT prints the earlier contract's payments as design payments, so those months are drawn lighter and labeled as a design contract. The lines do not join across the switch.
How the 81 of 82 is counted: it takes every month a construction contract printed a dashboard. Days elapsed ÷ days total is rounded to a whole percent. The 19 months when a dashboard reported a design contract are left out. CDOT printed construction at 0% in 18 of them and 2% in the other, so they say nothing about the calendar. The month that does not match: East section, December 2025: CDOT printed 79%, and the day counts give 81.4%. This is what these contracts print, not a rule CDOT states.

Months with no dashboard

East section, July 2024: 2 CDOT documents claim July 2024 and print different figures, so none of them is shown.
East section, August 2024: CDOT's link for August 2024 opens the July 2024 document, so this month has no dashboard of its own.
West section, August 2024: CDOT's link for August 2024 opens the July 2024 document, so this month has no dashboard of its own.
West section, November 2025: CDOT's link for November 2025 opens the October 2025 document, so this month has no dashboard of its own.
Central section, June 2024: 3 CDOT documents claim June 2024 and print different figures, so none of them is shown.
Central section, July 2024: CDOT's link for July 2024 opens the June 2024 document, so this month has no dashboard of its own.
Central section, August 2024: CDOT's link for August 2024 opens the June 2024 document, so this month has no dashboard of its own.
Central section, June 2025: CDOT's link for June 2025 opens the June 2024 document, so this month has no dashboard of its own.

A slip in CDOT's own dashboard

Central section, March 2024: the dashboard repeats the February 2024 day counts (274 of 596), while its own printed time elapsed moved on to 51%. The months before and after agree with 51%, so time used that month is CDOT's printed 51%.

What this does not show

These are payments on each contract, not the whole cost of the project. Design outside these contracts, right of way and CDOT's own costs are in none of them.
Every figure on this page is read from 101 of CDOT's monthly dashboards, November 2023 to April 2026. None is typed by hand.
