City Park Greenhouse Project

The City and County of Denver is seeking bids for the City Park Greenhouse Project (IFB No. 29688), a specialized roofing renovation initiative involving the removal and replacement of greenhouse roof panels and potential asphalt shingle replacement. The project requires replacing approximately 30 greenhouse panels on the south side roof, with optional work on central and northside greenhouse roofs totaling about 14,820 square feet. Bidders must possess Class D Metal Roof and Class D Roof Covering and Waterproofing licenses in good standing. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and job walk is scheduled for April 23, 2025, at 1:00 P.M. at the City Park Greenhouse Parking Lot, with electronic bid submissions required through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (BidNet) by May 8, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. local time. The project has strict timeline constraints, with the greenhouse roof portion mandated to be completed by September 15, 2025, and work not allowed to start before June 1, 2025. Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements, Denver Building Codes, and environmental management standards.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation suggests a preference for comprehensive and diverse contractor capabilities. Bidders are required to provide references, sustainability information, and diversity and inclusiveness forms. The contract allows the City to purchase additional quantities up to 50% of specified quantities within one year of the solicitation close date. Prevailing wage rates will be applied, ranging from $18.81 for lower-skilled positions to $56.57 for specialized roles like elevator mechanics. The project will require payment and performance bonds, though the bond cost will not be used in evaluating the price proposal. The base bid includes polycarbonate panel replacement, with two alternate bids for asphalt shingle systems, requiring detailed pricing for materials, disposal, labor, and installation. While a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the project and the detailed pricing requirements suggest a significant investment in the greenhouse roof renovation.
