CMAR for the Big Dry Creek 54-inch Interceptor Rehabilitation Project

The City of Westminster, Colorado is soliciting proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the Big Dry Creek 54-inch Interceptor Rehabilitation Analysis and Design Project, with proposals due November 10, 2026.

The scope encompasses rehabilitation analysis and design services for a 54-inch interceptor pipeline owned and operated by the City. The CMAR will manage design development, cost estimating, and constructability review throughout the analysis and design phase prior to construction, working collaboratively with the City's engineering team and project stakeholders to ensure the rehabilitation design meets regulatory standards, budget constraints, and schedule requirements.

Prospective contractors must demonstrate qualifications in construction management, water infrastructure projects, and design coordination. Key submission requirements include a detailed project management plan, evidence of similar project experience, financial statements demonstrating contractor stability, proof of applicable licenses and insurance, and evidence of financial capacity and bonding ability to support the project through design completion.

The City will evaluate proposals based on contractor experience, project approach, team qualifications, and proposed pricing. The contract structure is contingent upon successful proposal evaluation and City approval, with compensation to be determined based on the scope of services and project requirements. Funding is provided through the City of Westminster's capital improvement budget and utility revenues. Contract terms include provisions for project scheduling, milestone deliverables, and potential adjustments based on final scope definition during the analysis and design phase.
