The Regents of the University of Colorado Boulder anticipates using a Design/Bid/Build General Contractor (DBB/GC) approach to project delivery, and requests submittals for pre-qualification of General Contractors for Construction Project titled UCB000998 – SPSC – Restroom Renovations. It is the intent of the Department of Facilities Management to pre-qualify General Contractors and select a minimum of THREE (3) to bid this project in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes 24-92-107, 24-103-402, and 24-30-1303 (1) (Q) and in accordance with Section 3-402.01 of the Colorado Procurement Rules. Pre-qualification and inclusion on the selected bidders list will be necessary for bidding on this project. This pre-qualification process is unique to this project and not withstanding other pre-qualifications by the State Buildings Division and the University of Colorado, all contractors wishing to bid this project must be pre-qualified as defined in this document.

The process to be used in the selection of the General Contractor is comprised of two (2) steps. STEP I is the Submittal of Prequalification as described in Section II. STEP II is submission of the bid as described in detail in Section III. A Jury Panel of individuals who will be involved in the project and/or understand the required services associated with Design/Bid/Build General Contractor will evaluate responses to this RFP for STEP I. Sealed bids will be accepted only from those firms who are selected as pre-qualified by the University of Colorado Boulder for this project.
