602 Galena Workforce Housing Infrastructure

The Town of Frisco, Colorado, is seeking a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) for the 602 Galena Workforce Housing Infrastructure project, a comprehensive infrastructure development located in Teller County. The procurement involves roadway, utility, and site infrastructure work for a planned 54-unit multi-family rental housing development, with construction management services required for project execution. Specific deliverables include demolition, utility installation, grading, roadway work, concrete placement, asphalt paving, landscaping, signage, and striping. The project is funded through two Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grants - the More Housing Now (MHN) and Strong Communities programs - which cover infrastructure and site work but exclude vertical construction. Proposers must provide unit costs for 59 line items and will be evaluated based on multiple criteria, with cost representing 50% of the selection weight. The RFP was released on January 24, 2025, with proposals due by February 21, 2025, at 5:00 pm, and anticipated construction beginning in April 2025 with project completion expected by August 2026.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the contract requires contractors to employ at least 80% Colorado labor. The project involves collaboration with the NHP Foundation, a non-profit real estate organization responsible for vertical construction. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure work and the multi-phase approach suggest a significant investment. The successful contractor will be required to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and builder's risk insurance. Performance requirements include potential liquidated damages ranging from $350 to $2,250 per day depending on the contract price, and a two-year warranty on all materials and workmanship. The geotechnical study indicates site conditions involving medium-dense, well-graded gravel with potential groundwater considerations, which bidders must account for in their proposals. Contractors will need to coordinate closely with the Town of Frisco and the NHP Foundation throughout the project's implementation.
