Bristol Exterior Upgrades

Colorado Springs School District 11 is seeking proposals for the Bristol Elementary School Exterior Upgrades project through Request for Proposal #S2026-1005, which encompasses comprehensive design and construction services for playground improvements. The procurement targets specific exterior enhancements including installation of two shade structures, a 9,975 square foot artificial turf field (85' x 115'), and an ADA-compliant ramp. Contractors must submit electronic proposals through Bidnet by October 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time, with a mandatory pre-proposal site walk scheduled for October 9, 2025, at 3:30 PM at Bristol Elementary School. The project's performance period runs from November 1, 2025, to July 15, 2026, with substantial completion expected by October 15, 2026. Proposal evaluation will consider multiple factors including response to scope of work, proposed schedule, past performance, key personnel qualifications, safety record, and warranty offerings. The district will award the contract to the most advantageous offer, not necessarily the lowest price, and reserves the right to award without further discussions.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors are required to provide firm fixed pricing for individual project elements, including the artificial turf field, ADA ramp, various shade structures, Q-Fold folding soccer goals, and a comprehensive project lump sum. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, contractors must comply with local building codes, obtain necessary permits, and adhere to specific construction and safety requirements. The project involves upgrading the existing playground infrastructure at Bristol Elementary School, with the aerial site map indicating precise locations for new installations. Potential bidders should demonstrate expertise in school playground renovations, ADA compliance, shade structure installation, and artificial turf implementation. The comprehensive nature of the project suggests a potential value range in the mid-to-high five-figure to low six-figure investment, though exact budgetary constraints are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation.
