ACH/EFT payments provide the advantage of ensuring quick and secure payments for the goods and services that vendors provide to the State.

DNR’s goal is to pay vendors as soon as possible - signing up for the ACH/EFT is an important step in making this happen. For additional information about signing up for ACH/EFT payments, please contact the Project Manager identified in the Invitation for Bids.

30. In accordance with procurement code and CRS 24-103-207.5 titled “Purchasing Preference for Environmentally Preferable Products”, bidders responding to this solicitation may seek to qualify for the preference and governmental bodies conducting this solicitation shall award a contract to a bidder who offers environmentally preferable products subject to the condition in the code and procurement rules.

31. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: Certain materials and equipment have been specified by manufacturers’ trade names. This was done to establish the minimum quality and type of product desired. Alternatives to the manufacturers’ products may be used if the Project Manager determines they are equal. The Award will be based on the products identified in the plans.

32. DAVIS-BACON WAGE LAW:

The subject Project is not a Federal prevailing wage rate project so Davis-Bacon Wage Rates do not apply. The State of Colorado prevailing wage requirements do apply; see below.

33. PREVAILING WAGES: A public construction project in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars or more shall be subject to the State prevailing wage rate, of the regular, holiday, and overtime wages paid and the general prevailing payments on behalf of employees to lawful welfare, pension, vacation, apprentice training, and educational funds in the State, for each employee needed to execute the contract. Payments to the funds must constitute an ordinary business expense deduction for federal income tax purposes by contractors and subcontractors. Contractors are required to pay their employees at weekly intervals and shall comply with the enforcement provisions of C.R.S. §24-92-209. Contractors awarded a project of this size will be required to utilize the LCPTracker cloud-based labor compliance and certified payroll application. Upon award, the Contractor will need to return a completed copy of this form for LCPTracker enrollment:

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: The parties agree that time is of the essence of the Contract and of the Specifications wherever a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performances of any act. A daily charge will be made against the Contractor for each calendar day that any work remains uncompleted after the elapse of contract time. This daily charge will be deducted from any money due to the Contractor. This deduction will not be considered a penalty, but as liquidated damages.

The liquidated damages set forth is an amount, agreed to by the Contractor and the Division, as reasonably representing additional project construction administration costs incurred by the Division and projected loss of revenue to the Park if the Contractor fails to complete performance within the contract time. For this project, the Liquidated Damages will be $750.00 per day.

Due account shall be taken of any adjustment of the contract time for completion of the work granted under the provisions of subsection 8.5 of the General Conditions for Capital Construction. Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the work or any part thereof after elapse of contract time will not operate as a waiver on the part of the Division on any of its rights under the Contract.

Any deduction assessed as liquidated damages under this section shall not relieve the Contractor from liability for any damages or costs resulting from delays to other contractors on the project or other projects caused by a failure of the assessed Contractor to complete the work according to contract times.

37. WORK HOURS ON PROJECT SITE: All work on this project site will be allowed as follows:

8am to 6pm or otherwise approved by the Project Manager.

Utility owners have three business days to perform locates. If facilities are not marked within the three business days, you are required to call back to UNCC and process a Second Notice Request. UNCC encourages both Contractors and Sub-Contractors to obtain a locate ticket. A “no response” from the utility owner does not allow the Contractor to start digging. Notify the Project Manager when working near utility lines or appurtenances.

V. Aquatic concerns and equipment cleaning:
