2. INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

2.1. Work

RTD will accept bids from qualified companies until 10:00 am on Thursday, July 23, 2026 via RTD's online procurement portal, OpenGov. This Invitation for Bid (“IFB”) is for Park-n-Ride Asphalt Improvements 2026 (SBE Goal 15%), per the enclosed specifications and requirements.

2.2. Cost Type

Payments are anticipated to be made on a Fixed Price basis.

2.3. Award of Contract

The Contract shall be awarded to the responsible bidder whose bid is responsive to the

IFB and is most advantageous to RTD, considering price and the factors as may be set out in the IFB.

2.4. Period of Performance

Subject to the Termination provision of the Contract, performance shall commence as of the Effective Date (or in the event that RTD provides a Notice to Proceed to the

Contractor, the Period of Performance shall commence on the date of the Notice to

Proceed) and shall continue for 2 months (subject to the exercise of any option periods).

2.5. Small Business Requirement for Contracts with an SBE Goal

RTD has specified a SBE participation goal of 15% for the Work to be performed under the Contract. Bidders must make adequate good faith efforts to meet this goal in order to be deemed as a responsive and responsible bidder. Award of the Contract will be conditioned on meeting the requirements of this section. 49 CFR Part 26.53 and

Appendix A of 49 CFR Part 26 shall serve as the criteria for evaluating compliance with the good faith efforts requirements. Additionally, bidders are required to solicit the support and assistance of RTD’s Small Business Opportunity Office if they are unable to meet the SBE participation goal assigned to this Contract. The bidders can meet this requirement in one of two ways:

First, the bidder can meet this goal by demonstrating and documenting its commitments for participation by SBEs for at least the total percentage identified above or a percentage that exceeds the goal for the project. The SBE Contract Requirements as well as 49 CFR Part 26.53 explain the procedures that recipients/agencies such as

RTD should follow in this situation. For purposes of this section, RTD will accept SBEs that are currently certified with the RTD Small Business Opportunity Office under the

NAICS code that coincides with the Scope of Work that they will execute in this project.

All SBEs must be certified prior to the bid submission, except in a “design-build” or

“turnkey” contracting situation, multi-year projects, or some on-call or work order projects where RTD will explain its procedure in the SBE Contract Requirements.

Second, if the bidder does not meet the SBE goal identified in this Contract or is able to only meet part of this goal, it must document adequate good faith efforts. Appendix A to 49 CFR part 26 clearly states, “This means that the bidder must show that it took all necessary and reasonable steps to achieve a SBE goal or other requirement of this part which, by their scope, intensity, and appropriateness to the objective, could reasonably be expected to obtain sufficient SBE participation, even if they were not fully successful.” Additionally, SBE Contract Requirements as well as 49 CFR Part 26.53 explain the good faith efforts procedures that recipients/agencies such as RTD should follow when a bidder does not meet the goal.

The SBE participation goal applies to the total value of the Contract including all pre-award negotiation results and post-award change orders/modifications. Submittals of the bidder’s SBE Plan/Program will be evaluated based on the bidder’s SBE approach, creativity, demonstrated commitment to RTD’s SBE and diversity programs, ability to successfully respond to project SBE participation goals and compliance with overall SBE program requirements as codified in 49 CFR Part 26 and RTD’s SBE Program.

2.6. Bid Validity Period

Bids shall be valid for a duration of no less than ninety (90) days from bid due date.

Bids that are late will not be accepted!

3. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

3.1. General

Each Bidder is solely responsible for submitting any necessary forms and certifications that may be required by the IFB. Enclosed is a copy of the Contract contemplated for award substantially in the form to be executed.

A list of all holders (“followers”) of the IFB is available for view and/or print on the online procurement portal. The list is obtainable from the IFB advertisement date through the IFB close date.

3.2. Option(s)

If RTD has included the potential for options on this Contract, bids should be adjusted to cover such option(s). The option quantities or periods contained in the bid shall be evaluated in order to determine Contract award. When options have not been evaluated as part of the award, the exercise of such options will be considered “sole source” procurements. RTD will evaluate bids for award purposes by adding the total bid price for all options to the total bid price for the initial term of the Contract. Award of a

Contract containing options shall not obligate RTD to exercise such option(s).

3.3. Addenda to IFB

In the event that it becomes necessary to revise any part of this IFB, or if additional information is necessary to enable potential Bidders to make an adequate interpretation of the provisions of this IFB, an addendum to the IFB will be provided to each recipient of this IFB through RTD's online procurement portal.

3.4. Inquiries

Questions about RTD and this IFB, including requests for approved equals, shall be directed to Judy Alcantara, Buyer, through RTD’s online procurement portal.

From the issuance date of this IFB until RTD selects a bid for award, Judy Alcantara, Buyer, is the sole point of contact for RTD and RTD’s project team members concerning this IFB. (In this IFB and the Contract Documents, this point of contact may be referred to as the Contract Administrator, Contracting Officer, Purchasing Agent, Buyer, or the like.) Any violation of this condition may be cause for RTD to reject the offending

Bidder’s bid. If RTD later discovers that the Bidder has engaged in any violations of this condition, RTD may reject the offending Bidder’s bid or rescind its Contract award.

Bidders must agree not to distribute any part of their bid beyond RTD. A Bidder who shares information contained in its bid with other RTD personnel, RTD project team members, RTD board members, and/or competing Bidders’ personnel may be disqualified.

Bidders’ questions must be submitted through RTD’s online procurement portal. All questions or requests for clarifications regarding this solicitation, including the form of the Contract, must be made during the Inquiry Period. RTD has no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarifications that are not submitted through RTD’s online procurement portal, nor to those submitted outside of the Inquiry Period. Except as provided below, RTD’s responses to all inquiries properly submitted will be answered in the form of an addendum that will be provided to all recipients of this IFB through

RTD’s online procurement portal. To the extent that Bidders request changes to the form of the Contract, including additional terms, conditions, and agreements (such as license agreements, master services agreements, and user agreements), such requested changes must be submitted with proposals. See “Legal Notice to Bidders - Rights Reserved to RTD.”

If the IFB Schedule provides for a pre-bid briefing (“Briefing”), RTD will not respond to any questions regarding the IFB until the Briefing is complete and the Inquiry Period if closed. Firms that have received this IFB, whether present for the Briefing or not, will receive: (1) a copy of the minutes; (2) answers to all questions presented; (3) a listing of all recipients of the IFB (current to date of Briefing); and (4) a copy of the sign-in sheet from the Briefing.

If a Respondent needs assistance using the online procurement portal, Respondents may access the Help Center for vendor training guides provided by OpenGov ("Software

Administrator"). Respondents may also contact the Software Administrator using the real-time chat function on the online procurement portal (located in lower right-hand corner of the screen), or via email at procurement-support@opengov.com for support.

3.5. Submission & Withdrawal

Respondents shall register on RTD’s online procurement portal. Once registered, Respondents may view and click "Follow" to be a Prospective Respondent for this IFB and will appear on the Follower’s list. Respondents that fail to Follow this project will not receive automated Addenda notifications, nor will they be able to submit a

Response in the online procurement portal, and therefore will be unable to participate, nor be considered for this IFB. Respondents must click “Draft Response” to properly begin and submit a Response via the online procurement portal.

RTD will accept responses to this IFB electronically via the online procurement portal until 10:00 am on Thursday, July 23, 2026. Responses received after the scheduled due https://help.procurement.opengov.com/en/articles/5815468-video-guides-opengov-procurement-vendor-training mailto:procurement-support@opengov.com date and time for submission will not be accepted. Responses submitted in any other format other than via the online procurement portal, including but not limited to, hard copy (mailed or hand delivered), facsimile, or emailed submittals, will not be accepted.

RTD and the Software Administrator are not responsible for untimely submissions due to personal or company internet or hardware limitations, settings or restrictions, internet speed, power outage, network connection, or use of a malfunctioning electronic device, or the like. Respondents are solely responsible for the capability of their computer system while responding to this IFB and for the stability of their internet service. Failure of the Respondent to successfully submit an electronic Response before the deadline indicated herein shall be at the Respondent’s sole risk, and RTD will not accept late and/or improperly submitted Responses. Once file(s) have been uploaded and the Submission Status shows as “Submitted,” a submission is complete. At that point, the Respondent will also receive an email confirmation from the online procurement portal. Respondents may withdraw their submittal electronically via the online procurement portal at any time prior to the scheduled due date and time for submission.

Bids that are late will not be accepted.

4. BIDS

4.1. Submission Requirements

Any alteration, insertion, or erasure by the Bidder in the form of the IFB documents as originally prepared by RTD shall render the Bidder non-responsive and may constitute cause for rejection. Conditional bids or those that take exception to the IFB documents or Scope of Work may be treated as non-responsive.

4.2. Bid Submission

RTD’s Buyer must receive one copy of your bid through RTD’s online procurement portal in a format that complies with Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility

Guidelines 2.1 of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative, and one “Open Records” copy of your bid per the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. §

24-72-200.1 et seq. (as amended), including the redaction of any confidential or proprietary information. To do this you will have to export the Pricing Form or Cost

Submittal Form, redact sensitive data, and then submit it as the Open Records Copy of

Bid in the Bid Contents Checklist (FORMS TO BE SUBMITTED).

Your bid must be received no later than the time and date set forth in the IFB Schedule.

4.3. Signatures

Bids must be electronically submitted by a duly authorized official of the firm. Bids submitted by consortiums, joint ventures, or teams, although permitted and encouraged, will not be considered responsive unless it is established that all contractual responsibility rests solely with one contractor or one legal entity which shall not be a subsidiary or affiliate with limited resources. Each submittal should indicate the entity responsible for execution on behalf of the consortium, joint venture, or team.

4.4. Bid Format

Bids MUST be completed using the enclosed bid form submitted through RTD’s online procurement portal.

4.5. Bid Security

The Bidder must enclose its bid security with the bid in the amount of five percent (5%) of the bid amount. Acceptable bid security shall be limited to: (a) a one-time bid bond underwritten by a company licensed to issue bid bonds in the State of Colorado; (b) a bank cashier's check made payable to RTD; or (c) a bank certified check made payable to RTD. The bid security serves as a guarantee that Bidder will enter into a Contract with RTD if the bid is accepted.

4.6. Information from RTD

In the course of the planning of the Work and primarily for its own internal purposes, RTD may obtain data regarding engineering work, geological work, studies, rock or survey reports, soil boring reports, and any other matter whatsoever of an informational nature. Such information may be made available to the Bidder for informational purposes only, and the Bidder cannot rely on the information in formulating its bid.

4.7. Omissions from IFB

Should RTD omit any item from this IFB which is necessary to a clear understanding of the Work, or should it appear that various provisions are inconsistent or in conflict, then the Bidder shall request written instructions from RTD prior to the end of the Inquiry

Period.

4.8. Unbalanced Bids

Bids which, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, are unbalanced so that each item does not reasonably carry its own proportion of cost, or which contain inadequate or unreasonable prices for any item, may be rejected.

4.9. Withdrawal of Bids

A Bidder may withdraw its bid at any time prior to the bid opening through RTD’s online supplier Portal not later than the exact time set for opening of bids.

4.10. Only One Bid Accepted

RTD will accept only one bid for the Work from any one Bidder. This includes bids that may be submitted under different names by one firm or corporation.

4.11. Conflicting Information from Bidder

The information and/or pricing provided by the Bidder in the required bid form and attachments will control in the event of a conflict with any information and/or pricing the Bidder types into RTD’s online supplier portal when submitting the bid.

4.12. Content Requirements

All bids must include the electronically acknowledged Addenda. Failure to electronically acknowledge any and all addenda in the online procurement portal may cause the bid to be rejected as non-responsive.

In addition to any information required elsewhere in this IFB and by the Scope of Work and specifications, if any, all bids shall contain the information required in the BID

CONTENTS CHECKLIST (FORMS TO BE SUBMITTED) section.

4.13. Prices Quoted and Discrepancies

All prices must be quoted at a firm price, FOB, Regional Transportation District, Federal

Center Station Park-n-Ride, 11601 W. 2nd Place Lakewood, CO 80225 , delivered to and accepted by RTD through RTD's online procurement portal. Where both the written word and numerical dollar amounts are reflected on the bid form, the written word amount is the amount that controls and that shall be publicly read. In cases of discrepancy between the unit price and the computed total price, the unit price alone will be considered as representing the Bidder’s intention.

5. AWARD PROCESS

5.1. Evaluation Criteria

The Contract shall be awarded to the responsible Bidder whose bid is responsive to the

IFB and is most advantageous to RTD, considering price and the factors as may be set out in the IFB. The Bidder’s proposed schedule shall be the primary mechanism used to evaluate its understanding of the project’s scope and workflow (to include timing). It shall be completed according to the Technical Specifications and submitted with the bid;

it is a Contract requirement for the Contractor to have read and understood all of the

Technical Specifications prior to bidding the Work. The Contract duration shown in the

Bidder’s proposed schedule shall be the same as the Contract Schedule.

5.2. Notification to Successful Bidder

Award decisions of RTD shall be reduced to writing by the Director of Contracting and

Procurement, or delegate, and shall be final. RTD will notify the successful Bidder, if any, by sending a notice of intent to award, which is subject to any required RTD approval. Following RTD approval, the Contracting Officer will initiate the Contract signature process and then issue the notice to proceed with the executed Contract.

Upon award of the Contract, the Contractor will be given complete sets of plans and specifications.

5.3. Notifications to Unsuccessful Bidders

Post-Award Notices of Exclusion. The Buyer shall notify unsuccessful Bidders of exclusion from award through RTD’s online procurement portal.

Protests. Bidders must submit protests related to this IFB in writing to Judy Alcantara, Buyer, pursuant to the procedures set forth in RTD’s procurement standards manual.

Copies of RTD’s protest procedures are available upon request to the Purchasing Agent.

Bidders must exhaust all administrative remedies prescribed by RTD’s protest procedures before proceeding to court.

5.4. Construction Contracts

Within 72 hours of the opening of the bids, the apparent low Bidder must provide a

Schedule of Values (SOV) used in compiling the bid including calculations, data, etc., sufficient for RTD to determine how the bid was computed. Specifically the SOV must show the following:

A. The Bidder’s determination of the number of units for each line item provided by

RTD in the bid packet (i.e., the number of units, linear feet, square feet, cubic feet, etc.,).

B. The cost in material, equipment, labor and/or subcontractor expenses for each line item.

C. The Bidder’s profit and total anticipated overhead expenses for the entire term of the Contract as that time period is established by RTD in the Contract

Documents. The Bidder must specifically break down its charges for mobilizations at each segment of the Work requiring mobilization, field overhead for each segment of the Work (including field personnel not calculated in the labor expenses under (b) above), office overhead, cleanup costs at pertinent time periods, insurances, bonds and profit.

D. The amount that the Bidder is charging RTD for each line item (costs plus overhead and profit if appropriate).

The documents should be compiled in such a way that the sum of the items above equal the Contract Cost. The bid price should not rely upon anticipation that RTD will accept an expedited schedule as the Contract Schedule.

Within 72 hours of the opening of the bids, the apparent low Bidder must also submit the form or forms in these bid documents that list, in line-item form, a description of items and Work that is to be provided or performed under the Contract.

The bid documents should reflect the fact that the Bidder will have labor expenses, management expenses, field overhead, office overhead, insurance, bonds, and other costs throughout the entire term of the Contract as that time period is specified by RTD in the Contract. The bid price should not rely upon anticipation that RTD will accept an expedited schedule as the Contract Schedule.

6. LEGAL NOTICE TO BIDDERS

6.1. Organizational Conflict of Interest

A. The bidder shall review the attached Organizational Conflicts of Interest

Disclosure Requirements and submit its Organizational Conflicts of Interest

Certification with the bid.

B. If the bidder prepared or assisted RTD in the preparation of a statement of work, work program, or system specifications to be used in a competitive procurement by RTD, the bidder will be ineligible to supply the same in connection with this

Contract. The bidder may otherwise compete for RTD business on an equal basis with other parties.

C. Except as provided above, if RTD determines that a potential conflict exists, the bidder shall be excluded from award unless the conflict can be avoided or otherwise resolved through the inclusion of a special Contract provision or other appropriate means.

6.2. Insurance and Bond Requirements

Bidders’ attention is directed to the section entitled Insurance and Bond Requirements herein. It is highly recommended that bidders confer with their insurance carriers or brokers in advance of bid submission to determine the availability of bonds, insurance certificates and any endorsements. The cost of such insurance and bonds shall be included in the bid.

6.3. SBE Compliance

Bidders must make adequate good faith efforts to meet this goal in order to be deemed as a responsive and responsible bidder. Award of the Contract will be conditioned on meeting the requirements of this section. 49 CFR Part 26.53, Appendix A of 49 CFR Part

26 and RTD's SBE Contract Requirements shall serve as the criteria for evaluating compliance with the good faith efforts requirements.

6.4. Performance of Work by Contractor

The Contractor shall perform on site and with its own staff Work equivalent to at least

51 percent of the total amount of Work to be performed under the Contract. This percentage may be reduced by a change order to the Contract if, while performing the

Work, the Contractor requests a reduction and the Contracting Officer determines that the reduction would be to the advantage of RTD.

6.5. Investigations

Bidders must satisfy themselves, by personal investigation and by such other means as they deem necessary or desirable, as to the location of and conditions affecting the proposed Work and as to the cost of the Work. Bidders shall review RTD’s proposed

Work schedule and become familiar with all conditions, including the site, which may affect the Work and costs under this Contract. No information derived from the maps, plans, specifications, or drawings will relieve the subsequently awarded Contractor from any risk or from fulfilling all of the terms of the Contract. The Contractor shall not at any time make claim to any additional payments or considerations on account of any misunderstanding regarding the nature or amount of Work to be done.

6.6. News Releases

RTD’s written approval is required prior to any communication with the press or any public disclosure relating to this IFB or any subsequent awards.

6.7. Pre-award Audit

RTD reserves the right to conduct a pre-award audit to verify labor rates, overhead rates, etc. should RTD determine that such an audit is required prior to negotiation or award of a Contract.

6.8. Cost of Bid Preparation

RTD shall not reimburse bidders for costs incurred for preparation of bids or required documentation.

6.9. Materials Submitted

All materials submitted shall become the property of RTD and will not be returned to the bidder.

6.10. Confidentiality

RTD is a public entity subject to the provisions of the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. § 24-72-200.1 et seq. (“CORA”), and all materials submitted with this IFB, with the exception of trade secrets, privileged information, and confidential commercial, financial, geological, or geophysical data pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-72-204(3)(a)(IV), may become public records subject to inspection by the public at any time after the Contract is executed. Therefore, any confidential or proprietary information that the bidder discloses to RTD with respect to this IFB must be clearly designated as confidential or proprietary at the time of disclosure by the bidder to RTD. RTD shall not disclose properly designated information unless such information is required to be disclosed by law or court order. In the event of a legal challenge to the confidentiality of records so designated by the bidder, RTD shall make reasonable efforts to notify the bidder prior to disclosing any such information, and in some cases may tender to the bidder the defense of any action filed. By submitting a bid under this IFB, the bidder agrees to accept such tender of defense and in all cases assumes exclusive responsibility for defending its position as to the confidentiality of the requested information. RTD is not obligated to assist in such defense, and cannot and does not guarantee that the confidentiality of records so designated will be upheld by a reviewing court. If the bidder fails to submit a copy of its redacted bid that may be released under

CORA, the bidder acknowledges that RTD has the authority to disclose, and may disclose in its discretion, any information contained in the bid in response to a CORA request.

6.11. Rights Reserved to RTD

A. All bidders are notified that the award of a Contract pursuant to this IFB is dependent upon execution of a Contract with the successful bidder(s) and appropriation by RTD’s Board of Directors of the necessary funds. Successful bidders must be prepared to execute the Contract that is provided with this IFB. RTD has no obligation to accept requested changes to the form of the Contract. At RTD’s sole discretion, RTD may deny any requested changes submitted after the deadline for bid submission. Requested changes must be specific (including, as applicable, section reference, reason for requested change and proposed revised language) and clearly identified in the bid. If a bidder does not submit any requested Contract changes, the bidder will be deemed to have accepted the terms, conditions, and requirements of this solicitation, including the form of Contract.

RTD will not accept blanket exceptions to any or all terms, conditions, or requirements of this solicitation to be negotiated at a later date. At

RTD’s sole discretion, RTD may deny requested changes that are embedded by hyperlink or cited by reference in a bid and related documents. FAILURE TO ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IN

THIS SOLICITATION MAY RESULT IN A BIDDER BEING DEEMED NON-

RESPONSIVE.

B. It is the intent of RTD to make an award within 30 days from the bid due date;

however, all bids shall be valid for no less than ninety (90) days.

C. RTD reserves the right to postpone the bid opening for its own convenience.

D. Issuance of this IFB does not commit RTD to award the Contract. RTD reserves the right to reject all bids and re-solicit or cancel this IFB if deemed by RTD to be in its best interest.

No employee of RTD or any member of its governing body shall have any personal or financial interest, direct or indirect, in this Contract or any contract executed subsequently in connection with this Contract during his or her tenure or for one year thereafter.
