CDOT Yuma and Wray Building Repairs

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is soliciting bids for comprehensive building repairs at facilities located in Yuma and Wray, Colorado. The project involves extensive repair and replacement of building components across multiple structures, including office/garage buildings, maintenance sheds, sand sheds, and storage facilities, which sustained significant hail damage documented in May 2024. The procurement requires a single lump-sum bid for replacing damaged components at both locations, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for April 15, 2025, including site visits in Yuma at 11:00 AM and Wray at 1:00 PM. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by April 29, 2025, at 2:00 PM via BidNet.com, with an anticipated contract approval on May 29, 2025. Key qualification requirements include having completed at least two projects over $600,000 in the last three years, demonstrating general contracting experience, and providing proof of bonding capability. The project scope encompasses roof replacements, metal panel installations, window and screen repairs, painting, electrical work, and miscellaneous building system rehabilitations, with a substantial completion timeline of 180 calendar days and final acceptance expected by January 9, 2026.

The solicitation includes provisions favoring Colorado resident bidders and includes specific requirements for labor utilization, with preference given to Colorado labor and potential requirements for service-disabled veteran-owned small business participation. Contractors must submit a bid bond of at least 5% of the total bid, labor and material performance bonds, certificates of insurance, and a labor burden spreadsheet. The project is subject to Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements, with prevailing wage rates specified for various construction trades. Funding appears to be from state sources, with a total estimated contract cost of $600,000. Additional compliance requirements include Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and reporting of embodied carbon emissions. The project allows for potential alternates and includes provisions for Colorado labor preferences, specifically requiring 80% Colorado labor on projects exceeding $500,000. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, and the solicitation suggests a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation effort targeting multiple CDOT facilities in Yuma and Wray Counties.
