Avon Recreation Center Aquatics Renovation

The Town of Avon, Colorado is requesting qualifications and proposals for Construction Manager/General Contractor services to renovate and modernize the Recreation Center's aquatics facility, with qualifications due August 14, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. MDT and interviews scheduled for September 1–3, 2026.

The scope encompasses preconstruction and general contracting services for complete renovation of the aquatics facility at 90 Lake Street, Avon, including replacement of the existing swimming pool, hot tub, water slide, and associated mechanical, electrical, plumbing, filtration, and water treatment systems. Construction is scheduled between mid-April and mid-October 2027, with the facility remaining partially operational during construction. The CMGC must demonstrate experience with aquatic facilities, occupied facility construction, public-sector clients, and CMGC or Construction Manager at Risk delivery methods. Key personnel are expected to remain assigned throughout the project duration and are subject to Owner approval for substitutions.

Evaluation criteria are weighted equally at 20 percent each across five categories: Firm Information, Qualifications of Proposed Team, Similar Project Experience, Schedule/Project Approach, and References. Fee proposals are not required with the initial qualifications submission; short-listed candidates will be requested to submit fees and contract comments prior to interviews. The contract will utilize a Construction Manager/General Contractor agreement based on AIA, Town of Avon contract provisions, or another form deemed appropriate by the Owner's legal counsel. Award and authorization to proceed are contingent upon successful development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price acceptable to the Owner and within the approved project budget.

A non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit is scheduled for August 6, 2026. Questions are due August 10, 2026. Interview invitations will be issued August 21, 2026, with a notice of selection anticipated September 7, 2026. Design completion is targeted for November 2026, followed by preconstruction and GMP development prior to construction authorization.
