The image depicts the northeast corner of West Colfax Avenue and North 6th Avenue, which is the designated location for the non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for August 14, 2025. This meeting provides contractors with an opportunity to clarify project requirements, view the work sites, and ask questions before submitting bids. The final bid submission deadline is September 11, 2025 at 2:00 PM through RTD's online procurement portal, with contractor selection anticipated by September 18, 2025. The contract term is three years with two optional one-year extensions.

The solicitation encompasses cyclic and as-needed bridge maintenance services across RTD-owned bridges, adjacent structures, and culverts within the West Corridor Light Rail Transit system. Required maintenance activities include vegetation control, general cleaning, power washing, drain maintenance, expansion joint sealing, concrete repair, bearing maintenance, sign installation, erosion repair, and utility attachment repairs performed on a work order and fixed-price basis. Bidders must comply with a mandatory 15% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) set-aside requirement and demonstrate good faith efforts to meet this participation goal to be considered responsive. Bid security equal to 5% of the bid amount is required. Contractors must possess a five-year track record in bridge maintenance, comply with Federal Railroad Administration and Federal Transit Administration regulations, complete RTD's On Track Safety Training, and obtain necessary Right-of-Way Access Permits and Building and Grounds Access Permits. Work must be performed during nights, weekends, or off-peak hours to minimize light rail service disruptions.
