This is a location photograph file related to a Request for Proposal issued by the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado for pump replacement services at Prospect Park. The image depicts the physical location of Prospect Park at 11300 W 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge, showing the site where the pump installation will occur. The project requires removal of an existing outdated pump system and installation of a new 7CLC 6-stage lineshaft pump with a 10 horsepower, 460-volt, 3-phase motor featuring variable frequency drive control, designed to deliver a minimum flow rate of 200 gallons per minute at 140-foot head capacity with 80% efficiency. The scope encompasses site assessment, foundation preparation, electrical work compliant with the National Electrical Code, control panel installation, testing and commissioning, operator training, and comprehensive documentation. A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for May 6, 2026 at 9:30 a.m., with a question submission deadline of May 13, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. and proposals due May 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the City's OpenGov Procurement portal. The project must be completed within 60 days of contract award, with a detailed project schedule required within 10 days of award.

Contractors must provide three references from similar projects completed within the past five years and maintain general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, and builder's risk insurance covering 100 percent of project replacement value, with a minimum one-year warranty on all parts and labor. Pricing must be submitted as a detailed cost proposal excluding sales and use tax, with all prices firm for one year following acceptance and any subsequent increases limited to 3 percent annually with written justification. The RFP evaluation utilizes a best value procurement model considering firm capabilities and references (25 points), scope of submission and team experience (25 points), effective approach and timeline (25 points), and pricing (25 points). The specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the solicitation materials. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises or restricted bidder categories are specified, and no incumbent vendors are identified. The City reserves the right to conduct interviews with short-listed firms, negotiate fees with the highest-ranked proposer, and make awards based on greatest benefit to the City rather than lowest price.
