2025 Corinthian Tank Water Main

The Town of Dillon in Summit County, Colorado, is soliciting bids for a water infrastructure project involving the installation of 260 linear feet of 12" Ductile Iron Waterline along Ensign Drive. The project scope includes mechanically restrained pipe, tees, elbows, valves, concrete and asphalt removal and replacement, minor site grading, and material haul-off. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at Dillon Town Hall, with sealed bids due by 4:00 p.m. on July 24, 2025, through the Rocky Mountain ePurchasing System. Bidder qualifications include a minimum of five years of experience, completion of three similar jobs over $500,000 in the last four years, and no bankruptcy history. Evaluation criteria will encompass price, quality, maintenance, performance time, guarantees, company reputation, and past experience with the Town. The project has a maximum duration of 42 calendar days, with work to start on or after September 8, 2025, and substantial completion required by October 31, 2025.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must be qualified to do business in Colorado and will be required to provide a performance bond and labor and material payment bond, though a bid bond is not required. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves infrastructure near a 500,000-gallon water tank and requires careful integration with existing utility systems. The total project budget is not explicitly stated, but bidders will submit unit pricing for various construction elements. The Town reserves the right to award the contract by sections, reject any or all bids, and waive informalities. Technical requirements include detailed specifications for utility installation, construction sequencing, traffic control, and site restoration, with comprehensive plans for trench depths, aggregate base, concrete specifications, and pavement restoration techniques.
