The work will be performed at the Herman Gulch Trailhead site located near I-70 in Bakerville, Colorado, approximately 55 miles west of Denver at an elevation of around 10,400 feet. The project involves four base items: mobilization, old vault and lid demolition, double vault toilet procurement and installation, and furnishing and installing 10 pour-in-place concrete bollards. Both bid and performance bonds will be required for this project, and contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon Act wage determinations for Clear Creek County, Colorado.
