B2714 Design Build Services

Aurora Public Schools (Adams-Arapahoe School District 28J) is requesting design-build proposals for a CTE Annex Building at Vista Peak Preparatory High School, with proposals due September 11, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via BidNet and a mandatory pre-submittal conference on September 1, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. via Microsoft Teams. The project scope is a pre-engineered metal building of approximately 12,000 square feet with a fixed limit of construction cost of $7 million and final completion by June 30, 2027.

Vendors must be qualified as the primary builder on a minimum of three pre-engineered metal buildings and provide three K-12 client references for projects exceeding $2 million. All staff must be local to Colorado, and vendors must maintain a Colorado office with authorized representatives available during normal business hours. Pricing is structured on a fixed-price basis requiring separate lump-sum fees for design and construction phases, general conditions estimates based on a ten-month construction schedule, change order fees, and labor base wage multipliers. Liquidated damages are $1,000 per day for overall project delays and $500 per day for general conditions delays. The district is exempt from state and local sales taxes; vendors bear responsibility for sales taxes on materials they purchase.

Evaluation criteria (Round One, 100 points total) are compliance and responsiveness (15 points), past performance and references (30 points), technical compliance and scope adherence (20 points), schedule and implementation qualifications (20 points), and pricing and value-added components (15 points). Highest-scoring vendors may advance to Round Two presentations on September 22, 2026. Selection and intent to award is anticipated September 24, 2026. Questions are due September 3, 2026, by 2:00 p.m., with answers and addenda issued by September 8, 2026, and final addenda by September 9, 2026, by 2:00 p.m. The project was funded by a 2024 Bond measure passed in November 2024.
