Colorado Mountain College (CMC) is seeking qualified general contractor firms to perform a comprehensive renovation of a 500 square foot classroom into a new Radiology lab at their Edwards Campus, located at 150 Miller Ranch Road in Edwards, Colorado. The project involves transforming the existing space to accommodate a new radiography facility, with specific requirements for radiation shielding, lead-lined walls, specialized medical infrastructure, and comprehensive systems upgrades. Key project objectives include installing precise radiation protection measures, updating HVAC, electrical, fire suppression, and plumbing systems, and creating a fully functional radiology training space. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires bidders to submit detailed proposals containing company information, project approach, construction schedule, references, and insurance certificates. A mandatory pre-proposal walkthrough is scheduled for December 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM, with proposal submissions due on January 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and a targeted award date of February 7, 2024, at 4:00 PM. Evaluation criteria will encompass overall proposal quality, company qualifications, experience, pricing, warranties, references, and service capabilities, with CMC emphasizing best value rather than lowest price.
The procurement appears open to general contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. CMC requires payment and performance bonds for construction projects exceeding $50,000 and mandates specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and Automobile Liability insurance. While no incumbent vendor is explicitly mentioned, the project involves integrating with existing campus infrastructure and preparing for new radiography equipment that CMC is in the process of acquiring. The precise budget is not explicitly stated in the documents, but the comprehensive project manual and technical specifications suggest a complex renovation requiring specialized technical expertise. The construction documents indicate the renovation will involve modifying approximately 1,953 square feet of interior space, with the radiology lab being part of a broader campus improvement initiative. The college reserves the right to make multiple awards or no award at all, providing flexibility in the procurement process and allowing for comprehensive evaluation of potential contractors.
