The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is seeking a contractor to complete the Arapahoe Basin Tank Installation project located at 28214 Highway 6 in Dillon, Colorado. The procurement involves purchasing and installing one 2,500-gallon sand-oil separator tank and one 5,000-gallon holding tank at the CDOT A-Basin facility. Additional project requirements include filling the existing 2,500-gallon tank containment with concrete and utilizing existing floor drain piping to connect the new tanks below the exterior asphalt surface. The project has a total timeline of 150 calendar days, with work anticipated to begin in June/July 2025, and substantial completion expected by October 11, 2025, with final acceptance by November 24, 2025. Bidders must have completed at least two general contracting projects over $150,000 in the past three years and demonstrate appropriate bonding capability. The bid submission deadline is April 14, 2025, with electronic bids required through BidNet.com, and CDOT reserves the right to reject any or all bids. Evaluation will prioritize the lowest responsible bidder, with preference given to Colorado resident bidders.

The contract includes provisions for Colorado labor requirements, mandating a minimum of 80% local workforce for projects over $500,000, and potential opportunities for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB). A bid bond of 5% is required for contracts valued at $50,000 or more, and contractors must be prepared to execute performance and labor/material payment bonds within ten days of award.
