Alexander Dawson & Mayhoffer Well Development

Boulder County Parks and Open Space is requesting proposals for installation of stock water wells on two county-owned agricultural properties — Alexander Dawson and Mayhoffer — to support cattle grazing on leased land, with proposals due September 4, 2026.

The scope includes drilling four new wells on the Alexander Dawson property and two on the Mayhoffer property, identifying groundwater sources, filing well drilling permits with the State of Colorado, and installing associated infrastructure: pumps, solar panels, electrical equipment, and stock tanks. The contractor must include costs for additional state-required infrastructure such as concrete pad installation and wellhead fencing.

Prior to work commencement, the contractor must provide a W-9 dated within the past 12 months, a current Certificate of Good Standing from Colorado evidencing authorization to do business in the state, and current insurance certificates meeting Boulder County's minimum requirements as specified in Exhibit A. A bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount is required, submitted as a scanned copy with the proposal and the original mailed to Boulder County's Office of Financial Management. Both payment and performance bonds equal to 100% of the proposed cost are required for bids exceeding $50,000, with bonding costs included in the total proposed cost.

Compensation is monthly upon inspection and approval of completed deliverables, with invoices submitted on company letterhead detailing work performed and project information. Work will not commence until the contractor receives a Notice to Proceed following contract execution.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for August 17, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams. All questions are to be submitted through the EUNA portal.
