2025 - Berthoud Road Improvements Project

The Town of Berthoud, located in Larimer County, Colorado, is soliciting bids for the 2025 Berthoud Road Improvements Project, a comprehensive infrastructure enhancement initiative. The procurement involves multiple bid items including asphalt mill and overlay of multiple roadways, alley reconstruction, and a curb-gutter-sidewalk project on Spartan Avenue. The project requires contractors to follow Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) standard specifications for ADA ramps, sidewalks, and curbs, with some areas potentially matching existing conditions. Bid documents are available through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (BidNet), with sealed bids due by 12:00 noon on Monday, April 28, 2025, and bid opening immediately thereafter at 12:01 p.m. All work must be completed by August 31, 2025, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for work not finished by the contract deadline. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid security and must provide unit prices for four distinct bid items: Mill & Overlay, Concrete Work, Spartan Ave. Improvements, and Alley Improvement. All requests for information must be submitted by Friday, April 18th.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must comply with the Keep Jobs in Colorado Act by employing at least 80% Colorado labor and are required to provide performance and payment bonds, each for half the contract price. The project will require contractors to maintain liability insurance with a combined single limit of $1 million per occurrence. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant municipal infrastructure investment. The Town of Berthoud is exempt from Colorado State Sales and Use Taxes on materials and equipment incorporated into the work. The project includes various specific tasks such as pavement milling, asphalt overlay, concrete work, sidewalk construction, ADA ramp installation, and traffic control, with the town reserving the right to reject any or all bids and waive informalities not involving price, time, or changes in the work.
