PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Colorado State Insectary located in Palisade, CO, is suffering from significant structural issues. Constructed in 1992 on expansive loam clay soil. One of the two 600 sq ft concrete foundation slabs are sinking and rotating clockwise, while the adjacent slab remains stationary.

This differential movement has created a two-inch trip hazard throughout the building. If not addressed, the continued slab movement will lead to:

• Cracking throughout the building's structure.

• Damage and uplift of sections of the building header, which supports the rafters, roof, and HVAC systems.

• Movement of walls and alteration of the shape of door and window openings.

• Permanent and irreversible damage to the building due to the torsional rotation of the slab.

The slab movement is creating a two-inch trip hazard throughout the building. As this slab movement continues it creates cracks though the building and if left unchecked it will damage and uplift sections of the building header which supports the rafters, roof and HVAC systems. The torsional rotation of the slab will also move walls, alter the shape of door and window openings and create permanent unreversible damage to the building.

The State of Colorado, Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) is soliciting bids from qualified contractors for the Insectary Foundation Repair project.

Scope of Services

This project will level the two existing slabs of concrete that serve as the Insectary’s foundation and will re-square the building.

The scope of services will include full Construction Contracting Services for the project specified during the process of construction and warranty period to the State as per the Advertisement for Bid. Specific tasks to be performed by the Contractor include those generally performed by the construction community where the Contractor is the prime vendor to the State. Bidders shall reference the drawings, specifications, and supporting documents in the Appendices for an understanding of the entire scope of the project.

Per C.R.S. §38-26-106, if a contract amounts to $150,000 or more, the awarded contractor shall provide payment and performance bonds not less than 50% of the value of the contract. The costs associated with this bond are to be included in the contractor’s bid.
