2025 Street Mill and Overlay Program

The Town of Telluride, located in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, is soliciting competitive sealed bids for the 2025 Street Mill and Overlay Program, a comprehensive street rehabilitation project. The procurement involves asphalt milling between 1-inch and 1.5-inch depths, followed by an asphalt overlay using a paving machine with a thickness between 2-inch and 2.5-inch, totaling approximately 1,675 tons of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The project encompasses multiple street segments including Prospect Avenue, Smuggler Avenue, E. Pacific Avenue, Townsend Street, Pine Street, and sections of E. Colorado Avenue. Contractors will be evaluated based on ability, capacity, skill, performance history, compliance with laws, financial resources, and commitment to environmental practices. The bid requires a 5% bid security and performance and payment bonds, with proposals due on March 26, 2025. An additional alternate bid option includes an open cut sewer repair involving 13 linear feet of 8-inch SDR 35 PVC pipe. The project has a targeted substantial completion date of November 1, 2025, with final completion by December 1, 2025.

The procurement appears to have a local preference provision in contractor selection, and while no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly stated, the bidding process emphasizes comprehensive evaluation criteria beyond cost. Contractors must comply with Town of Telluride Specifications and CDOT guidelines, with specific requirements for stormwater, erosion, and sediment control measures. The project involves hauling approximately 358 cubic yards of millings, with limitations on redirecting materials to the Town Public Works Facility. While a specific budget range is not disclosed, the project is funded through the Town of Telluride's municipal budget. Notably, due to restaurant parklets on the main street, paving work must be conducted after October 1, 2025. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all bids, suggesting flexibility in the procurement process. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capabilities in road rehabilitation, asphalt milling, overlay techniques, and coordinated public works implementation.
