II. PROJECT OVERVIEW
Introduction
The State of Colorado, Colorado Department of Transportation is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors for the Design/Build Hoosier Pass Loader Shed project.
Qualified contractors are invited to bid on the Design and Construction of a new 1,000 sf metal building loader shed near the top of Hoosier Pass.
Additional work will include engineering, grading, site prep, foundation work, and fencing. Assuming the on-site geology is adequate, CDOT’s preference for the foundation type is generally shallow spread footings. The GPS coordinates for the location are 39.359296, -106.061763.
The selected contractor is to provide the stamped engineering design, calculations and other documentation needed to permit and build this 20’-0”x50’-0” structure.
The building will be a pre-engineered metal building with a single slope shed roof.
The building will have power from a nearby pole to power the overhead door and interior and exterior lights. The building will be unconditioned. The contractor is to provide the soil investigation required to satisfy the engineering needs to provide the footing, foundation and slab design for the building. This building will house a CDOT loader and the slab shall be designed to accommodate the loader weight. The building will have two overhead doors one at each end of the building and one man-door. Interior and exterior lighting will be required. A 20’-0”
IPD-DBLS-RFP pg. 3 concrete apron to be provided on the exterior of the overhead doors, the balance of the site to be graded away from the building and away from the highway.
Please refer to the supporting bid documents for full design and construction requirements.
The Colorado Department of Transportation anticipates using a Design/Build Entity approach to project delivery where the Design/Build Entity will design, manage and construct the project as described within.
The process to be used in the selection of the Design/Build Entity is comprised of two steps. STEP I is the Submittal of Prequalification as described in Section X. STEP II is the Oral Interview/Fee Proposal as described in detail in Section XI. A Jury Panel of individuals who will be involved in the project and/or understand the required services associated with Construction Management/General Contracting will evaluate responses to this RFP for both steps. Upon completion of the evaluation of the Submittals of Prequalification, a limited number of firms will be invited to the oral interviews. Sealed fee proposals will be required only from those firms who are interviewed and are to be submitted as indicated in this RFP. Both qualifications and fee will be considered in the final ranking of firms with qualifications given 70% of the value of the weighted criteria and fees for the Fee Proposal given 30%.
Selection and award of this project will be based on a combination of qualifications and costs that represent the best overall value to the State.
Scope of Services The scope of services assistance to the State during the process of assessment, design, construction, and warranty period. Specific tasks to be performed by the Design/Build Entity include those generally performed by the Design/Build construction community where the Construction Manager is also the Contractor. A sample copy of the State’s Design/Build contract is contained within the RFP.
Appendix C of this RFP includes the project concept, program and specifications that apply to this project and are incorporated by reference into the contract agreement as required initial design criteria. Deviation from the project concept, program and specifications must be justified in writing and approved by the Colorado Department of Transportation Representative before incorporation into the project.
Appendix D of this RFP includes mandatory construction standards and aesthetic guidelines that are incorporated by reference into the contract agreement. Deviation from the Colorado Department of Transportation standards must be justified in writing and approved the Colorado Department of Transportation Representative before incorporation into the project. The building and site design is required to respond to the aesthetic guidelines. Formal presentation of the proposed design to a review committee for approval may be required.
