Bridge Repair Maintenance and Rehabilitation Services

The City of Westminster, Colorado, is soliciting bids for Bridge Repair Maintenance and Rehabilitation Services through Invitation for Bid (IFB-PRL-25-628), seeking qualified contractors to perform comprehensive structural repairs on four specific pedestrian bridges within the city's jurisdiction. The procurement targets detailed rehabilitation of bridges located on the Farmers High Line Canal Trail, including the Betty Adams, FHL1, Kings Mill, and Niver1 bridges, which have been identified as requiring significant structural interventions. Inspection reports reveal critical issues such as deck damage, exposed rebar, erosion, timber rail deterioration, and potential structural compromises necessitating comprehensive repair strategies. Required services include repair design, engineering plans, construction implementation, project management, concrete patching, steel replacement, deck overlays, expansion joint repairs, and railing upgrades. The pre-bid conference is scheduled for 9/10/2025 at 2:30 PM MST via Microsoft Teams, with bid questions due by 9/19/2025, and final bids due on 10/3/2025 at 4:00 PM MST. Evaluation criteria will encompass contractor qualifications, compliance with submission requirements, bid amount, demonstrated experience, and ability to meet bonding and insurance requirements. Bidders must submit itemized cost schedules for each bridge, provide references, demonstrate appropriate licenses and certifications, and include a 5% bid bond.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will require performance and payment bonds, each equal to 100% of the total contract price, with liquidated damages of $500 per calendar day for project delays. The estimated project duration is one year from the notice to proceed, with the city reserving the right to award part or all of the project per bridge. Payment terms include progress payments based on a negotiated schedule, with final payment contingent upon successful project completion and city inspection. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the city will require the selected contractor to have comprehensive insurance, including general liability coverage with minimum combined single limits of $2 million per occurrence, workers' compensation, automobile liability, and pollution legal liability insurance. The contract allows for potential renewal terms subject to annual city appropriation and 60-day renewal notice requirements. Though a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the repairs across four bridge sites suggests a significant investment in infrastructure maintenance and rehabilitation.
