28th St Hub Cabinets

Boulder County Building Services, a division of Public Works, is soliciting competitive sealed bids from qualified contractors to furnish and install new architectural woodwork and plastic laminate countertops for the Boulder County Community Hub located at 2525 28th Street, Boulder, Colorado 80301. The procurement encompasses two primary bid items: cabinetry and plastic laminate countertops with vertical laminate covering at service counters and reception desks, with contractors permitted to bid on all items or selected items only. Deliverables include field measuring, shop drawings, templating, all necessary adhesives and sealants, and installation services, with alternates available for solid surface countertops and windowsills featuring 620 linear feet of 2CM Wilsonart Quartz Bodega Q1022 with eased edges. The project is pursuing LEED Gold certification and requires compliance with low-emitting materials standards, construction waste management targeting 75 percent diversion by weight, and adherence to the 2024 International Building Code and 2024 International Fire Code. Contractors must submit bids by April 16, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with public bid opening conducted via Microsoft Teams; work is scheduled to commence in the late third quarter of 2026 with required work hours Monday through Friday, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with no weekend or holiday work permitted without written County approval. Bidders may submit product substitution requests for equipment not listed in specifications provided that proposed substitutions meet all quality and capacity requirements; however, materials designated as "Basis-of-Design" products cannot be substituted. Award will be made to the most responsible bid that best satisfies project requirements based on best value rather than price alone, with bids remaining irrevocable for thirty days following opening.

The solicitation documents do not identify specific set-asides or restrictions limiting response to designated disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses; however, all contractors must comply with Americans with Disabilities Act and Equal Opportunity requirements as established by Boulder County. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. All bidders must submit bid security equal to 5 percent of the bid amount in the form of a surety bond authorized to conduct business in Colorado or a bank cashier's check payable to Boulder County, with the scanned copy accompanying the bid and original postmarked by the deadline. Performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the proposed cost are required for bids exceeding $50,000 and must be included in the total proposed cost. Contractors must carry Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, and Employer's Liability coverage at specified minimums, with Boulder County named as an additional insured. The procurement documents do not specify an explicit award value or budget range; however, the requirement for performance and payment bonds suggests a project value exceeding $50,000, and the comprehensive scope of work for a 39,560 square foot mixed-use county services hub indicates a substantial construction project.
