NOTICE_TO_PROCEED.pdf

This is a Notice to Proceed template document issued by the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, establishing the formal authorization for a contractor to commence work on a designated project. The document serves as the official notice directing the contractor to begin work in accordance with a signed agreement, with work to commence on or before a specified date and be completed within a defined number of working days. The template includes provisions for the Engineering Manager to authorize the notice and requires the contractor to acknowledge receipt of the Notice to Proceed with printed name, signature, and title. The document contains placeholder fields for the Invitation to Bid number, project name, agreement date, bid year, completion date, and the number of working days allotted for project completion.

The Notice to Proceed is a standard administrative document that formalizes the transition from contract award to active project execution. This template does not specify pricing terms, funding sources, or project-specific details, as it is designed for use across multiple City of Wheat Ridge projects. The document requires signatures from both the City's Engineering Manager and the selected contractor, establishing mutual acknowledgment of the project commencement terms and conditions. The notice serves as critical documentation in the construction procurement process, marking the official start date for contract performance and establishing the baseline for schedule compliance and liquidated damages calculations if applicable.
