About this file
This is a Request for Bid (RFB) document from the City of Cortez General Services Department for the 2025 REBID Skatepark Repair Project in Colorado. The project seeks a contractor to repair approximately 1,000 square feet of damaged skatepark components, including grinding down existing concrete, providing a concrete repair strategy, creating a skateable surface with improved transitions, and developing an annual maintenance plan. The bid will be conducted using a Competitive Sealed Best Value Bidding method with two steps. Key dates include an advertisement release on 5/7/2025, bid questions due by 5/19/2025, sealed bids due on 5/30/2025 at 3:00 PM, and an anticipated construction start and finish in September 2025. The project has a total completion timeline of 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.
The contract will be awarded based on a weighted evaluation of 40% qualifications and 60% bid price, with contractors required to meet minimum qualifications including concrete general contracting experience, insurance requirements, and Colorado labor preferences. Local vendor preferences are available, offering a 2.5% preference for businesses within Cortez city limits and a 2.0% preference for businesses in Montezuma County. The project has specific requirements for subcontractor utilization, with contractors limited to subcontracting no more than 50% of the contract work. Funding appears to be from the City of Cortez, with a focus on local economic participation and adherence to state apprenticeship and prevailing wage regulations for public works projects.

Notes
NOTES:
1. Insert total score from each evaluator's SUBMITTAL review.
2. Add all evaluators’ total scores and divide by the number of evaluators to determine the average score for each firm’s qualifications.
3. The maximum score for qualifications on the evaluation form is equivalent to 40 points and is equivalent to the maximum points available for qualifications. Therefore, each firm’s score is determined as a percentage of the maximum points available. To score each average qualification score, use the example formula.
Assume the highest score is 600.
Scoring of Qualifications
| Firm B: | 600 x 40 points = 40 points |
| 600 | |
| Firm C: | 500 x 40 points = 33.33 points |
| 600 | |
| Firm A: | 400 x40 points = 26.66 points |
| 600 |
4. Determine score for each firm’s sealed Bid with the lowest fee being equivalent to a maximum score of 60 points. To score each Bid, use the example formula.
Assume the lowest Bid was $100,000.
Scoring of Bids
| Firm A: | $100,000 x 60 points = 60 points |
| $100,000 | |
| Firm B: | $100,000 x 60 points = 48 points |
| $125,000 | |
| Firm C: | $100,000 x 60 points = 39.99 points |
| $150,000 |
5. Add the average qualification score to the Bid score to determine cumulative qualifications and fee score.
6. Numerically rank all firms with the highest scoring firm being the most qualified and advantageous to the City.
APPENDIX B - SAMPLE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), entered into effective the ?? day of ????, 202? (the “Effective Date”), by and between THE CITY OF CORTEZ, COLORADO, a Colorado home-rule municipality, hereinafter referred to as the “City,” and ??????????, a Colorado corporation (insert the correct type of entity – limited liability company, corporation, etc., and state of registration), hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor.” The City and the Contractor may be referred to herein individually as a “Party,” and collectively as the “Parties.”
WITNESSETH:
| In consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations herein expressed, it is agreed by and between the Parties as follows: | ||
| 1. | Contract Documents. The Contract Documents consist of this Agreement, the conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary, and Other Conditions), the Drawings, the Specifications, all Addenda issued prior to, and all modifications issued after execution of this Agreement. The foregoing documents form the Contract, and all are fully a part of the Contract as if attached to this Agreement. | |
| 2. | Scope of the Work. The Contractor shall furnish all of the materials and perform all of the work shown on the drawings and described in the specifications for the project titled: 2025 Rebid Skatepark Repair Project (the “Project”). Work performed shall be of high quality, in compliance with general accepted standards of workmanship, and in conformity with the Contract Documents. | |
| 3. | Time of Substantial Completion. The Contractor will commence the work required by the Contract Documents on the day indicated in the Notice to Proceed. The work to be performed pursuant to this Agreement shall be substantially completed, as that term is defined in the General Conditions, within ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY (170) calendar days of the Contractor having received Notice to Proceed. Any extensions of the time limit set forth above must be agreed upon in writing by the Parties. | |
| 4. | Liquidated Damages. It is specifically recognized by and between the Parties that the City will suffer certain unspecified damages in the event the Project is not completed within the time set forth above. In recognition of the difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages to be sustained by the City, the Parties agree that the assessment of liquidated damages shall be appropriate. In the event the Project is not completed within the specified time, there shall be assessed against the Contractor, and the Contractor hereby authorizes the City to retain from any moneys due the Contractor, the sum of $300.00 per day for each and every calendar day the Project remains unfinished. | |
| 5. | Contract Sum. The City certifies that funds have been appropriated and will pay to the Contractor such amounts in the manner and at such time as set forth by the Contract Documents. The City shall pay the Contractor for the performance of the Contract, subject to additions and deletions provided therein, the sum of ?????????????? ($?????????). Such sum shall be apportioned to each individual work item of the Contract. The total amount of the individual work items shall equal the total Contract amount. If the Time of Substantial Completion extends into more than one City budget year and the City has not appropriated the entire Contract Sum in the current budget year, the Contract becomes a multi-year financial obligation of the City and the City’s obligation to pay any amount of the Contract Sum beyond what has been appropriated in the current budget year is contingent upon the availability of funds appropriated by the City Council for each fiscal year budget during the term of the Contract. State of Colorado laws prohibit the City from entering into contracts that contain a multi-year financial obligation without a non-appropriation clause, so any financial obligations in the Contract that extend beyond the end of the City's current fiscal year budget shall be subject to an annual budget appropriation for all funds to be expended during the then current fiscal year. Absent the necessary appropriation, the City may terminate the Contract immediately and shall only be obligated to pay the Contractor for work rendered to the date of termination. | |
| 6. | Progress Payments. The City will make progress payments for the work included in the Contract based upon the percentage completion of the unit quantities actually installed for each work item of the Contract. The Contractor shall prepare an itemized statement indicating by unit quantities the amount of each item completed for that period. The Project Manager will review the progress payment request to verify the quantities indicated. The City shall retain at least FIVE percent (5%) of the amount of each payment until final completion and acceptance of all work covered by the Contract Documents. | |
| 7. | Final Payment. Final payment shall be paid by the City to the Contractor forty-five (45) days after substantial completion of the work unless otherwise stipulated in the Notice of Substantial Completion, the date fixed for final settlement as legally published, provided the work has then been completed, the Contract fully performed, and a final certificate of payment has been issued by the Engineer. | |
| 8. | Capital Project Management System. The services to be performed by the Contractor pursuant to this Agreement will be administered under the Capital Project Management System of the City. In order to ensure that the Project is consistent with its authorized scope, budget, and schedule, it will be necessary for the Contractor to submit certain reports to the city. The following reports are required: | |
| A) | Schedule of Work. The Contractor shall provide a schedule for the completion of all unit work items covered by the Contract. The schedule shall indicate the anticipated percentage completion of each unit work item for each month for the duration of the work. The initial schedule must be submitted to the City prior to processing of the first payment request. The schedule will be updated monthly thereafter and submitted with succeeding payment requests, which requests will not be processed in the absence of the updated schedules or work. | |
| B) | Estimated Schedule of Payments. The Contractor shall provide an estimated schedule of monthly payments as a percentage of the total contract sum for each month throughout the term of the Contract. The estimated schedule of payments shall be submitted to the City before the first payment request will be processed. | |
| C) | Personnel Manpower List. The Contractor shall submit a listing of personnel required to complete each unit work item of the Contract. The personnel manpower list shall include position title, duties, and duration necessary on the job to complete the unit work items as specified in the Contract Documents. The manpower list shall be submitted to the City before the first payment request will be processed. | |
| D) | Cost Breakdown. The Contract sum shall be allocated among the various unit work items. For contracts which are bid on a unit price basis, said allocation is reflected in the bid documents. For contracts which are bid on a lump sum basis, the Contractor shall allocate the contract sum to the various unit work items. The total cost of the unit work items shall equal the contract sum and the cost allocation shall be submitted to the City before the first payment request will be processed. The failure to file any report required by this Agreement shall automatically suspend the processing of all payment requests. | |
| 9. | City Representative and Engineer. The City hereby designates Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation, as its project representative (Project Manager), and authorizes this individual to make all necessary and proper decisions with reference to the Project. All Contract interpretations, Change Orders, and other requests for clarification or instruction shall be directed to the City representative, who shall be authorized to bind the City with respect to any decision made in accordance with the Capital Project Management Control System. | |
| 10. | Change Orders. The City may order changes within the scope of the work without invalidating this Agreement. If such changes alter the amount due under the Contract Documents, or in the time required for the performance of the work, such alteration shall be approved by both Parties in writing on the Change Order. A Change Order that alters the scope of the work, but not the amount due or the time required, shall be approved by both Parties in writing. Such Change Orders shall be processed in accordance with the procedures specified in the City Capital Project Management System and in accordance with the City purchasing ordinance. The Contractor shall not proceed with any work covered by a proposed Change Order until they receive a properly executed Change Order form. | |
| 11. | Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, the Charter of the City of Cortez, and the Codes and Regulations of the City of Cortez. The Parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any legal action arising from or out of the Contract shall be in the 22nd Judicial District, Montezuma County, Colorado, District Court, and that no mandatory arbitration or trial to a jury shall be allowed. | |
| 12. | Termination/Default. | |
| A) | Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon ten (10) days written notice should the other Party materially fail to perform in accordance with its terms, through no fault of the Party instituting the termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the City upon at least ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor in the event the Project is permanently abandoned by the City. In the event of termination not the fault of the Contractor, the Contractor shall be compensated for all services performed to termination date, together with reasonable expenses then due. | |
| B) | Default. Each and every term and condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a material element of this Agreement. Time is of the essence. In the event either Party should fail or refuse to perform according to the terms of this Agreement, they may be declared in default hereof. A Notice of Default shall be in writing and signed by the Party declaring the Contract to be in default. This letter shall include the special portion or portions of the Contract which are in default. | |
| C) | Remedies Upon Default. In the event a Party has been declared in default hereof, such defaulting Party shall be allowed a period of five (5) days within which to rectify said default.
