38th Ave Landscape Renovations

The City of Wheat Ridge, located in Jefferson County, Colorado, is soliciting proposals for the 38th Avenue Landscape Renovations project through a Documented Quote Form (DQ-25-042). The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to perform comprehensive landscape renovations along the 38th Avenue corridor, with a primary objective of replacing existing landscaping with low-maintenance, decorative hardscape using black granite rock and Wyoming Moss boulders. The project encompasses four distinct locations, with Chase Plaza designated as Location #1 (the base project) and Locations #2-4 considered additive alternates contingent upon available budget. Contractors must provide full removal of existing vegetation and hardscape features, cap or remove existing irrigation infrastructure, and install new decorative materials across sites near Western Animal Clinic, Vital Training Systems, and Belfiore Italian. Project locations range from 900 to 1,470 square feet, with specific material requirements including 3-4 inch depth of black granite decorative rock and strategically placed Wyoming Moss boulders. The solicitation was issued on September 18, 2025, with responses due by September 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM through OpenGov Procurement. Evaluation criteria will include proof of insurance (minimum $1,000,000), compliance with city terms and conditions, and overall best value to the city.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. The City of Wheat Ridge reserves the right to make multiple awards based on the most advantageous proposal, not necessarily the lowest price. While no incumbent vendors were identified, contractors must submit pricing on both a lump sum and itemized basis, with line items covering decorative rock, boulders, labor, irrigation modifications, and traffic control. The project appears to be focused on aesthetic and maintenance improvements along the 38th Avenue corridor, suggesting potential budgetary flexibility depending on the selected alternates. Although a precise budget range was not specified, the multi-location scope and detailed material requirements indicate a substantial investment in urban landscape renovation. Interested contractors should carefully review the full solicitation documents and be prepared to demonstrate technical capabilities in hardscape installation, irrigation modification, and landscape transformation.
