Bid Plans for Wadsworth Path Project

This is a bidding document set for the Wadsworth Blvd. Path project, a municipal infrastructure initiative by the City and County of Colorado (location: 32nd Avenue to 35th Avenue). The project involves construction of a wide, detached shared-use path on the west side of Wadsworth Boulevard, incorporating an amenity zone varying between 4 and 8 feet wide featuring xeriscape plantings that coordinate with the adjacent Wadsworth project to the north. The scope includes replacement and relocation of a culvert from the Rocky Mountain Ditch lateral, which exceeds 70 years in age and currently extends along much of the path alignment. Additional deliverables encompass pedestrian lighting and enhanced bus stops with bus shelters.

Sealed bids are due electronically through the procurement portal by 10:00 a.m. on October 6, 2025, with public bid opening conducted via Teams.
