25-089 Asphalt Sweeping and Striping

The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive asphalt maintenance and striping contract covering multiple properties across the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado. The procurement encompasses services including seasonal sweeping, debris removal, restriping, crack sealing, pothole patching, seal coating, and parking bumper replacement for eight bus maintenance facilities, thirteen park-and-ride lots, ten Bus Rapid Transit pull-out lanes, twenty-seven non-BRT pull-out lanes, and three housing complexes. The primary objective is to maintain clean, safe, and well-marked surfaces that support daily transit operations and enhance public access. Evaluation criteria will prioritize contractor experience, qualifications, service approach, and pricing, in that order of importance. Key procurement dates include a pre-proposal meeting on October 1, 2025, at 1:00 PM, with proposal submissions due by October 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM. The initial contract term is twelve months, with options for four additional twelve-month automatic renewals, and primary maintenance work is anticipated to occur in spring (April or May).

The solicitation establishes a 1% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, indicating a commitment to supporting diverse contractors. The contract will be structured as a fixed-price agreement with indefinite delivery and quantities, meaning specific quantities are not predetermined. Contractors must submit comprehensive pricing using a provided bid tabulation that includes all labor, equipment, mobilization, materials, and associated expenses. RFTA notes that contract funding is subject to annual appropriations and that the agency is exempt from federal, state, and local taxes. While no specific total contract value is explicitly stated, the multi-site approach and potential for up to five years of service suggest a substantial procurement opportunity. Contractors will be required to provide their own equipment and materials, and the successful bidder will be selected based on the most advantageous proposal that demonstrates strong technical capabilities and competitive pricing.
