About this opportunity
The Federal Highway Administration issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the CO FLAP LPL 10(1) Lake Nighthorse Access project, a highway and parking lot improvement initiative located in Durango, Colorado. The procurement seeks construction services to rehabilitate approximately 0.8 miles of existing roadway and upgrade a parking lot at the Lake Nighthorse recreational area. The project includes full depth reclamation with cement (5-inch depth) on the access road, a 3-inch asphalt overlay on both the road and parking lot, installation of guardrail systems (3,300 linear feet), and implementation of a hydrodynamic separator for stormwater management. This is a firm fixed-price contract with full and open competition offering a 10 percent price evaluation preference for HUBZone small business concerns. The government's engineer estimate was $3,039,000.00, and the anticipated contract completion date is September 10, 2026. The solicitation was posted on October 2, 2025, with a bid opening scheduled for November 5, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. MST in Lakewood, Colorado.
This procurement was not set aside for any specific business category. Five bids were received and opened on November 5, 2025, ranging from $3,305,713.37 to $6,249,400.08, with F&M Construction Inc. of Bayfield, Colorado submitting the lowest bid. Key work items include roadway excavation (1,700 cubic yards), full depth reclamation with cement (12,000 square yards), asphalt concrete pavement installation (3,200 tons), roadway aggregate placement (4,200 tons), and temporary traffic control. The project site is located approximately 1.7 miles southwest of Durango at elevations ranging from 6,899 to 6,986 feet, requiring careful coordination with local authorities regarding full closures to minimize disruption to visitor access. Construction work must account for existing utility lines, including electrical conduits owned by La Plata Electric, and comply with FEMA Zone A floodplain requirements in select areas.

THIS IS AN INVITATION FOR BID. PLAN AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
PROJECT NUMBER: CO FLAP LPL 10(1)
PROJECT NAME:LAKE NIGHTHORSE ACCESS
TYPE OF COMPETITION: FULL AND OPEN Competition with HUBZone Price Preference
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Lake Nighthorse is located approximately 1.7 miles southwest of the town of Durango along La Plata County Road 210. The terrain is mountainous, with elevations varying from 6899 feet to 6986 feet. The Lake provides access for recreational activities, including fishing, boating, and swimming.
The Scope of Work is to improve the existing roadway surface from the entrance station to the boat launch area, as well as upgrade the existing parking lot at the Swim Beach Area with a paved surface, all proposed as Schedule A, 3R/3R+. The proposed roadway improvements are to provide a full depth reclamation with cement to a depth of 5 inches and then add a 3-inch overlay of asphalt. The parking lot will receive 4 inches of new aggregate base with a 3-inch overlay of asphalt.
SCOPE OF THE WORK:
The alignment will follow the existing roadway with some minor alignment adjustments, mostly to accommodate improved ditch conveyance. The profile was adjusted in select areas to raise the grade in the distressed roadway to minimize utility conflicts and lower profile to minimize fill in the FEMA Zone A floodplain.
Full closures of the road and parking lot must be coordinated with CO, considering visitor patterns identified by the City of Durango.
