Four Canyons Parkway Phase 2B
The City of Grand Junction, located in Mesa County, Colorado, is soliciting competitive bids for the Four Canyons Parkway Phase 2B Project through an Invitation for Bid (IFB-5692-25-DD). The project involves constructing the eastern half of an urban arterial parkway from 24 Road to 25 Road, with a 160-ft right-of-way, and reconstructing 25 Road between F Road and Patterson Road. Contractors must be pre-qualified in specific categories including Stream and Stormwater, Roadway and Earthwork, Asphalt Paving, and Concrete Work. The comprehensive scope includes roadway, intersection, utility, irrigation, landscaping, and electrical infrastructure improvements across multiple roadways.

The project has a scheduled completion time of 515 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with a final completion date not extending beyond December 31, 2026. Evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, pre-qualification status, and bid pricing.
Bidders must comply with Colorado labor requirements mandating 80% Colorado labor for public works projects.

Contractors will need to provide appropriate insurance and performance bonds, with the bid schedule including allowances for asphalt cement cost adjustments and minor contract revisions (preset amounts of $400,000 and $800,000 respectively). Utility coordination is a critical component, with Xcel Energy performing excavation of joint utility trenches and each utility provider required to coordinate conduit placement. The project involves extensive infrastructure work, including water pipes, storm drains, irrigation systems, traffic signals, electrical work, and landscaping across various locations such as 24 Road, 25 Road, F Road, and surrounding areas. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the 515-day timeline suggest a significant investment in urban infrastructure development.

Colorado 4/25/25, 5:00 PM 3/18/25, 2:00 AM Chemical Treatment of noxious weeds in SWA and St. Park
The State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources, acting on behalf of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, is soliciting quotations for noxious weed chemical treatment services across approximately 491 acres located in five state wildlife areas and parks in the Grand Valley along the Colorado River: Walter Walker State Wildlife Area, Tillman Bishop State Wildlife Area, Franklin Island State Wildlife Area, Colorado River Island State Wildlife Area, and Obey Blanchard State Parks property. The procurement requires the contractor to conduct three separate chemical treatment applications scheduled for spring 2015, early fall 2015, and mid-summer 2016, with final payment due before September 1, 2016. The contractor must possess a current commercial pesticide applicators license and maintain compliance for three years post-treatment to ensure a 90% success rate in treated areas, defined as weed regrowth not exceeding 10% of treated areas within the three-year monitoring period; the contractor is responsible for re-treatment at their own cost if weed regrowth exceeds the 10% threshold, provided such regrowth results from incomplete initial treatment rather than new weed populations. The contractor must supply all labor, chemicals, equipment, and water, and may utilize approved herbicides including 2,4-D, Habitat, Round-up, Transline, Milestone, and Garlon-4 with prior approval for alternative chemicals. Pricing shall be submitted on a per-acre, per-application basis for the three scheduled treatments, with compensation limited to actual acres treated. Comprehensive insurance requirements include workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, with the State of Colorado named as additional insured. A mandatory pre-bid inspection tour was scheduled for January 14, 2015 at 10:00 AM at the Walter Walker State Wildlife Area west parking lot, with registration required by January 13, 2015, and quotations were due January 21, 2015 at 2:00 PM to the Department of Natural Resources Purchasing Office in Denver.
Resident bidders and Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) registered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible for bid preferences. No incumbent contractors or existing infrastructure integration requirements are specified in the solicitation documents. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all requirements as determined by the Department of Natural Resources, and the contract includes performance monitoring, weekly meetings with Colorado Parks and Wildlife technicians, and progress reports submitted with each invoice. The specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available solicitation documents; however, pricing will be determined based on the actual per-acre treatment costs submitted by bidders for each of the three application periods. The contract structure protects the State's investment by clearly delineating the contractor's financial liability for corrective actions within the three-year monitoring period while assigning responsibility for naturally occurring new weed populations to the State following completion of initial treatments.
