Argentine Streetlight Project

The Town of Georgetown in Clear Creek County, Colorado, is seeking a qualified contractor for the Argentine Streetlight Project through a Request for Proposal (RFP) 202503. The procurement involves comprehensive streetlight infrastructure improvements, specifically targeting Argentine Street, with key deliverables including installation of 6 missing streetlight pendants, conversion of 6 light sources to LED, addition of 38 weatherproof GFCI outlets, and installation of one new pole and pendant across from the Fire Station. The project requires a contractor capable of performing electrical work at heights up to 20 feet, with the Town supplying specialized streetlight materials. Proposals are due by 5:00 pm on July 16, 2025, with anticipated work beginning in late July and expected completion before the November Tree Lighting event in 2025. Required submission materials include detailed clarifications, recommendations, a preliminary schedule, payment terms, an insurance certificate with at least $1 million coverage, contractor qualifications, references, and a performance bond of no less than 5% of the bid proposal. All work must comply with the National Electric Code, and the contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary electrical permits and inspection reports.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the Town will provide secure storage at the Road and Bridge Shop for project materials. The RFP does not specify a precise budget range or award value, but requires contractors to submit comprehensive pricing information as part of their proposal. No Xcel permits are required, as the streetlights are owned by the Town, which simplifies the permitting process. The project appears to be a localized infrastructure improvement initiative focused on modernizing streetlight infrastructure and adding utility capabilities for holiday decorations. Interested contractors will need to demonstrate electrical expertise, safety capabilities for working at heights, and the ability to complete the project within the specified timeline.
