Browning Street Improvements

The City of Woodland Park, located in Teller County, Colorado, is soliciting bids for the Browning Street Improvements project, a comprehensive road reconstruction initiative along Browning Avenue from Highway 24 to the street's western dead end. The project encompasses approximately 1,100 square yards of 4-inch thick asphalt installation, 6,300 square yards of 1.5-inch mill and overlay, 700 linear feet of curb and gutter replacement, and reconstruction of 9 ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps. A mandatory pre-bid conference is required for participation, with bids to be submitted through Bidnet and a bid deadline of April 18, 2025. Contractors must provide a 10% bid security with their submission and are expected to execute the agreement and provide performance and payment bonds within 10 days of award notification. The project is set for completion by August 8, 2025, with the city reserving the right to reject any bid based on the bidder's qualifications or if the bid exceeds budgeted funds. Evaluation will be based on unit pricing, with the city using a specific calculation method to resolve any mathematical discrepancies in the bid schedule.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though local contractors may receive preferential consideration. Utility coordination will involve multiple local providers including the City of Woodland Park (water/sanitary), CORE (electric), Black Hills (gas), and several telecommunications companies. Contractors must be prepared to comply with Colorado state labor requirements, which mandate 80% local labor for Public Works Contracts exceeding $50,000. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the project includes force account items totaling approximately $140,000 for potential minor contract revisions and interim surface repairs. Contractors will be required to maintain comprehensive insurance, including commercial general liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence, workers' compensation, and comply with Colorado employment authorization laws. The project will be funded through City of Woodland Park funds, with the potential to remove individual bid schedules if submitted bids exceed the available budget.
