About this file
This amended prebid agenda and discussion document outlines the mandatory site visit and project overview for the Spring Creek Dam Rehabilitation Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) procurement (RFP 2026*0020) conducted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) Capital Development in partnership with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and DNR Procurement. The project involves removal and replacement of the spillway, installation of an extensive filter blanket on the downstream face, possible access road improvements, riprap placement, site clearing and revegetation, and instrumentation at Spring Creek Dam located in the GMUG National Forest. The estimated construction cost is $8 to $10 million, with the mandatory on-site prebid meeting scheduled for May 20, 2026, at 1:00 PM (MDT). The amended schedule indicates a proposal submission deadline of June 10, 2026, at 10:00 PM (MDT), with public proposal opening at 12:00 PM the same day. Interview shortlist notification is scheduled for July 6, 2026, followed by interviews with shortlisted proposers on July 9-10, 2026. Notice of Award Recommendation is set for July 14, 2026, with contract execution targeted for mid-August 2026. The preconstruction phase is anticipated to run from September 2026 through May 2027, with the construction phase extending from May/June 2027 through October 2028.
The CM/GC delivery method was selected to address project challenges including the remote high-elevation site (nearly 10,000 feet), short construction season, narrow mountainous access roads with heavy recreational use, confined site conditions, and potential water management difficulties from natural springs and watershed runoff. The selected contractor will serve as an advisory subject matter expert during the preconstruction phase, providing input on constructability, cost estimating, risk assessment and mitigation, value engineering, and construction phasing in collaboration with the design consultant (HDR, Inc.), an independent cost estimator, and CPW representatives. After 90 percent design completion, the contractor submits a Construction Agreed Price (CAP) proposal, which CPW may accept or reject with up to three total attempts at negotiation. If accepted, the contractor proceeds as the general contractor during the construction phase; if rejected, CPW may release the project to public bidding. The integrated project team includes representatives from CPW Local Staff, CPW Capital Development, CPW Procurement, DNR Procurement, the design consultant, regulatory authorities including the State Engineer's Office, and external stakeholders from the GMUG National Forest and CPW regional sections.

CMGC 101
· What is it?: Contracting method that involves a contractor in both the design and construction phases
· Partnership with Owner (CPW), Stakeholders, the Design Consultant (HDR, Inc), Independent Cost Estimator, and the Contractor - IPT
· Why did CPW select CM/GC delivery method for the project
· To best handle Spring Creek Dam Rehab challenges (ie. remote and confined site, short construction season, impacts to residents & recreation)
· Early contractor involvement to facilitate:
· Safety of public and staff
· Fiscal responsibility
· Schedule optimization
· Constructability evaluation
· Continuous, progressive Value Engineering
· Minimize risk and impacts to CPW and all stakeholders
· Value to Project (Project First)
· CPW sees value in having a Well-Qualified Contractor sitting at the table with the Design Engineer, Independent Cost Estimator, and the Owner to:
· Provide input on constructability, value engineering, materials, scheduling, and phasing
· Improves the construction schedule (through careful planning),
· Streamline the design process and produces a project that adheres to the budget
· Have “open” discussion about costs and schedules (Open Cost Model).
· Provide input on Target Risk areas and minimize, eliminate or transfer risk to the appropriate entity, and maintain a Risk Register
· Develop a strong relationship and focus on partnering with the entire project team, including external stakeholders, and maintaining a consistent team between preconstruction and construction phases.
· CPW Procurement
· Pre-Construction Phase
· The Contractor acts as an advisory or subject matter expert in the areas of construction, constructability, construction estimating, risk assessment/mitigation, and construction phasing in the design phase.
· Separate contracts for the pre-construction and construction phases.
· Construction Phase
· The Contractor, if a Construction Agreed Price (CAP) is accepted, then serves as the General Contractor during the construction phase.
· If CAP proposal is not accepted, CPW may choose to release the project to public bidding for the Construction Phase. The CM/GC firm would not be allowed to bid the project as prime general contractor.
· Process for Project w/ CMGC
· Design Consultant develops a design for project while collaborating with the Contractor, Independent Cost Estimator, and CPW (the IPT)
· Contractor (with IPT collaboration) develops Risk Register, Open Cost Model, and tracks Value Engineering Innovations (Starting 30%)
· Independent Cost Estimator to independently develop all quantity and cost estimates; then openly compare with contractor (Open Cost Model);
· After the 90% design completion milestone, the Contractor submits a CAP (Construction Agreed Price). CPW negotiates with the Contractor and either accepts or rejects the CAP. There can be up to 3 total attempts at reaching the CAP.
· Multiple CAP packages for phased construction or long lead time items are possible
· Each CAP package must be a completed bid package that could be advertised. Well defined beginning and ending
· All construction bid packages must be severable and biddable.
· Contractor Services – Pre-Construction Phase
· Attend regular project progress meetings, risk workshops, and review milestones (30, 60 & 90%)
· Anticipated services (see added details in RFP):
· Cost estimating
· Risk development and tracking
· Value engineering
· Constructability reviews
· Construction expertise
· Examples of responsibilities (see added details in RFP):
· Provide input on schedule, phasing, constructability, material availability, and cost
· Identify Project risk; provide OPCCs that help guide any changes to the design and establish Project risk pools
· Evaluate Project risk and develop a Risk Register and Risk Management Plan (in conjunction with CPW)
· Develop alternatives and innovations that improve the Project design, operations, schedule, and cost
· Summary of General Process for Spring Creek CMGC

· Typical year, drivable access to the site opens around mid-May
· Runoff peaks around beginning-middle of June
· Snow/winter shutdown “typically” occurs around end of October to the beginning of November.
· Control of water could be difficult as there are natural springs in the area
· Narrow mountainous access roads that are heavily used for recreation during the spring/summer/fall.
· Relatively confined site
· Heavy recreational use: ATVs, motorcycles, mountain bikers, camping, fishing, rafting, etc.
· Limited areas for vehicle pull-off, turnaround & staging
