A & B Builders Renovation Project

The City and County of Denver is soliciting bids for the A & B Builders B2 Renovation Project, a fiscal year 2027 facility renovation at 700 S. Ash Street, with proposals due October 26, 2026.

The scope encompasses an 8,500 square-foot remodel involving site work and demolition (ceiling tile, door and window frames, carpet, partitions); concrete floor preparation and core drilling; doors, frames, hardware, and ADA automatic openers; glass and glazing for borrowed light; drywall partitioning; acoustical ceiling repair and tile replacement; carpet tile and rubber base flooring; interior and exterior painting; fire sprinkler and HVAC system modifications with testing and balancing; electrical work including LED fixture and receptacle installation; and fire alarm modifications. The budget explicitly excludes architectural and engineering design fees, hazardous materials removal, existing code violations, major floor preparation, tenant computer and phone wiring, furniture relocation, modifications to base building fire alarm systems, utility company fees, temporary heat, security systems, flooring moisture mitigation, and radio frequency system modifications.

The project budget totals $278,046.00, comprising $244,611.00 in itemized work costs plus a 10 percent operations and profit markup of $25,277.00, with an additional contingency amount of $8,158.00. The cost estimate is based on $32.71 per square foot. The budget is preliminary for pre-construction use only and may not represent actual scope; all proposed work must meet industry standards, with deviations requiring signed change orders. The project involves the BHA/CDEC and CDPHE agencies. The designer is Scott T. Duran; contact is Lauren Smith Kieding.
