Carpios Ridge Restroom Replacement - C26TR1

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), on behalf of Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), is soliciting bids for demolition and construction of replacement restroom facilities at Carpios Ridge, with proposals due September 2, 2026.

The project is located at Trinidad State Park in El Paso County and Colorado Springs City jurisdiction. The scope encompasses demolition of existing structures and construction of new restroom facilities to current standards and accessibility requirements, with detailed architectural and engineering drawings provided as reference materials in the bid set.

Bidders must submit pricing according to the cost breakdown categories specified in the bid documents. Contractors must meet all bonding, insurance, and licensing requirements under Colorado state transportation project standards. Performance and labor-and-material bonds are required, with bond amounts to be determined upon contract execution. General liability insurance must include $1 million per-occurrence coverage with the State named as additional insured; workers' compensation, automobile liability, pollution liability, and professional liability insurance are also required per the sample construction agreement.

For federally funded work, contractors must comply with Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage provisions, Build America Buy America requirements, and OMB Circular 2 CFR 200 audit requirements. Colorado prevailing wage requirements, apprenticeship utilization standards, and Buy Clean Colorado Act compliance apply — contractors must provide Environmental Product Declarations for eligible materials demonstrating adherence to Global Warming Potential limits.

The contractor must complete all work within the calendar days or completion date specified in the Project Summary Table. Contract effectiveness and performance authorization depend on Colorado State Controller approval and issuance of a Notice to Proceed. The State may terminate the contract if it ceases to serve the public interest. Payment is contingent on fund availability for obligations extending beyond the current fiscal year.
