Schedule B - Scope of Work

Project Overview Weld County is seeking Proposals for a contractor to provide construction services for the Galeton Drainage Project.

Method of Procurement

Best Value: Best Value refers to a project procurement method where price and other key factors, such as quality and expertise, are considered in the evaluation and selection process. Best Value is typically achieved through a two-step process using a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Proposal (RFP) to evaluate proposers.

Delivery Method

Design-Bid-Build (DBB): Design-Bid-Build (DBB) is the traditional project delivery method in which County either designs or retains a designer to furnish complete design services. Then solicits bids or proposals (advertises) and awards a separate construction contract based on the designer's completed construction documents. In DBB, the agency "owns" the details/risks of design during construction and as a result, is responsible for the cost of any errors or omissions encountered in construction.

Pricing Method

Unit Pricing: Unit pricing is where the contractor simply sets a price for each unit of type of work, or category of cost.

Specific Requirements and Responsibilities

The project in general consists of removing the existing storm drain system and constructing an improved storm drain system along WCR 74 through the town of Galeton. The existing WCR 74 roadway and intersecting roadways will be reconstructed and paved with hot mix asphalt to improve roadway drainage. The work to be performed will include but not be limited to:

• Clearing and grubbing

• Removal of trees

• Removal of structures

• Removal of storm pipe

• Removal of asphalt mat

• Unclassified excavation

• Placement of embankment material

• Stripping and stockpiling of topsoil

• Installing and maintaining erosion control items

• Dewatering

• Hydraulic seeding and mulching

• Installation of geogrid

• Placement of aggregate base course

• Hot mix asphalt paving

Solicitation # B2600095 Page 7

• Installing riprap

• Installing drainage structures

• Installing culverts, inlets, curb/gutters

• Installing sanitary sewer conduit

• Adjusting sanitary sewer structures

• Installation of permanent signage and striping

• Work site traffic control and coordination to ensure safe access through the project.

• Contractor provided process control testing

• Other miscellaneous items

This is not a CDOT contract and will not have CDOT oversight.

Weld County will review all proposals and rank the proposals using the County’s best value process (outlined in Schedule D – RFP Response Criteria) to select the proposer representing the best value bid for the contract. The bid tabulation provided in Schedule E, Table 1 must be submitted as part of the proposal or the bid will be rejected.

Best Value Selection Process Summary Description

The following simple equation is utilized to determine the selection process scoring of the contractors which submit proposals. A selection committee consisting of multiple staff members will review the proposals.

BV = TS + SS + CS + IS

BV = Best Value Total Score (150 points maximum) TS = Technical Score (50 points maximum) SS = Schedule Score (20 points maximum) CS = Cost Score (30 points maximum) IS* = Interview Score (50 points maximum) (this criterion is optional to the County)

*Interviews are only used to make final determinations between short-listed contractors. A short-list of contractors will be created for the interview process if there is a clear and definite separation of a group of contractor proposals above the others based on proposal scores. If a single proposal score shows a clear and definite separation from all the others submitted, the entire interview process may be omitted.

Technical Score Based upon 4 separate evaluation criteria, each with their own weighting factors. Evaluation criteria are as follows:

• Scope of proposal and team.

• Critical issues and similar projects.

• Project control and approach.

• Work location/familiarity.

Schedule Score County discloses to Proposers the maximum allowable contract time acceptable, for example 150

Solicitation # B2600095 Page 11 calendar days. The earliest responsible proposed schedule scores 20 points. Other proposed schedules score based upon a ratio to the earliest. This Schedule Score is calculated by the Project Manager and provided to the selection committee members after the Technical Scores have been determined. The schedule of the successful Proposer shall form the basis for establishing the contract time, and liquidated damages would be applied after this contract time has expired.

The Schedule Score for each proposer will be calculated as follows:

1. Find the shortest responsible calendar day duration among all proposers.

2. Calculate each proposer’s Schedule Score Factor:

Proposer Schedule Score Factor = (Minimum Proposer Calendar Days) ÷ (Proposer Calendar Days). Round result to two (2) decimal places.

3. Calculate each proposer’s Schedule Score:

Proposer Schedule Score = (Proposer Schedule Score Factor) x (20). Round result to two (2) decimal places.

Cost Score The lowest responsible cost proposal scores 30 points. Other proposed costs score based upon a ratio to the lowest cost. The County will request Proposers to submit their cost proposal separately from their main proposal document. The Project Manager will not share the cost proposals with the other selection committee members until after the technical and schedule scores have been prior determined.

The Cost Score for each proposer will be calculated as follows:

1. Find the lowest responsible cost among all proposers.

2. Calculate each proposer’s Cost Score Factor:

Proposer Cost Score Factor = (Minimum Proposer Cost) ÷ (Proposer Cost). Round result to two decimal places.

3. Calculate each proposer’s Cost Score:

Proposer Cost Score = (Proposer Cost Score Factor) x (30). Round result to two (2) decimal places.

Interview Score (optional) If the County decides to incorporate this criterion into the selection process, they will select the three Proposers with the highest scores to participate. In such case, these short-listed Proposers interview scores shall be added into the equation which determines the Best Value Total Score (BV).

Scoring Criteria

The RFP Responses will be evaluated using the criteria listed in each Table. 1 through 3. NOTE:

Each RFP Response will be individually evaluated by a team of reviewers. Each reviewer will score using a rating scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being a poor rating, 3 being an average rating, and 5 being an outstanding rating. After the individual reviewers have scored each area, the individual reviewer scores will be totaled.

The two to three highest cumulative scored RFP Responses will be invited to participate in interviews (if required) to help the reviewers determine the final overall score and which represents the best value to the County. If interviews are determined to be necessary for the selection process, Contractors will be evaluated on the criteria shown below in Table 4.

Solicitation # B2600095 Page 12

After all scores have been determined from the RFP Response and the interview (if required), each score will be totaled for each RFP. The highest score will be considered the top ranked proposal and best value for the County. NOTE: The highest score proposal may not be the lowest proposed cost.

Additional Insurance Related Requirements

No limitation of Liability: The insurance coverages specified in this Agreement are the minimum requirements for this Contract and in no way limit the indemnity covenants contained in this Contract or decrease or limit any liability of Contractor.

The County in no way warrants that the minimum limits contained herein are sufficient to protect the Contractor from liabilities that might arise out of the performance of the Work under by the Contractor, its agents, representatives, employees, or subcontractors. The Contractor shall assess its own risks and if it deems appropriate and/or prudent, maintain higher limits and/or broader coverages.

The Contractor is not relieved of any liability or other obligations assumed or pursuant to the Contract by reason of its failure to obtain or maintain insurance in sufficient amounts, duration, or types. The Contractor shall maintain, at its own expense, any additional kinds or amounts of insurance that it may deem necessary to cover its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.

All insurers must be licensed or approved to do business within the State of Colorado, and unless otherwise specified, all policies must be written on a per occurrence basis.

The Contractor shall name on the certificate, ”Weld County, its associated and/or affiliated entities, successors, or assigns; its elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers as Additional Insureds” for Commercial General Liability and Auto Liability for work that is being performed by the Contractor.

On insurance policies where the County is named as an additional insured, the County shall be an additional insured to the full limits of liability purchased by the Contractor even if those limits of liability are in excess of those required by this Contract.

Upon request by the County, Contractor must provide a copy of the actual insurance policy and/or required endorsements effecting coverage(s) required by the Contract for examination for evidence of required coverages. Copies are not kept as a record, are

Solicitation # B2600095 Page 29 deemed confidential, and are not subject to disclosure under Colorado's Open Records Act (CORA). All certificates and endorsements are to be received and approved by the County before work commences.

Failure to maintain the insurance policies as required by this Agreement or to provide evidence of renewal is a material breach of contract.
