Christensen Road Modifications: Drainage, Signage and Lighting

The City of Cheyenne, Wyoming is seeking bids for the Christensen Road Modifications project (Invitation for Bid S-21-25), which involves comprehensive infrastructure improvements focusing on drainage, signage, and lighting at the intersection with Pershing Boulevard in Natrona County. The project scope includes removing existing infrastructure, performing excavation, and installing critical infrastructure components such as 1,020 linear feet of 18" PVC storm pipe, 2 Type AA and 2 Type B inlets, 2 manholes, 2,150 linear feet of Type A 24" curb and gutter, and dryland seeding of 3,350 square yards. Bidders must submit electronic responses by April 10, 2025, at 2:00 pm, with a non-mandatory Zoom pre-bid meeting scheduled for March 20, 2025, at 11:00 am. Contractors must provide a 5% bid guarantee and demonstrate compliance with Wyoming state preferences for labor and materials. The project requires detailed documentation, including a bid bond, non-collusion affidavit, and a comprehensive list of subcontractors and material suppliers. The contract aims to complete the project by November 30, 2025, with a planned contract award in May 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but bidders must comply with Wyoming state labor and material preferences, which may provide advantages to local businesses. Contractors must demonstrate financial capability and provide detailed information about their business structure and residency status. The project includes a $30,000 force account allocation and will withhold 5% retainage throughout the project term, with potential interest-bearing deposit agreements. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating commercial general liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, business automobile liability of $1,000,000 combined single limit, and workers' compensation coverage. The contract includes a two-year warranty period where the contractor is responsible for correcting any defective work. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the detailed scope and requirements suggest a substantial infrastructure investment that will significantly improve the Christensen Road intersection's drainage, signage, and lighting infrastructure.
