Construction Svcs for White Water Park Streamside Improvements

Pitkin County is seeking construction services for White Water Park Streamside Improvements through a competitive bidding process, with proposals due by January 10, 2025. The project involves comprehensive site improvements including mobilization, traffic control, erosion control, clearing and grubbing, tree removals, excavation, soil nail wall construction, stone walls, boardwalk installation, concrete work, landscaping, irrigation, fencing, and electrical infrastructure. Key deliverables include specific quantities of work such as 2,975 square feet of asphalt removal, 870 cubic yards of unclassified excavation, 1,470 square feet of soil nail wall construction, and planting 23 proposed trees. Bidders must submit a detailed bid form, bid bond, list of proposed subcontractors, project references, evidence of business authority, and a bidder qualification statement. The procurement requires compliance with ethical bidding practices, with bid submissions to be made via Bidnet and evaluated based on technical specifications, project understanding, and proposed implementation approach. Addendum #3 provides detailed clarifications on project specifications, including acceptable material substitutions, parking lot striping, waterline sizes, and foundation reuse requirements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. While the bid form accommodates various business entity types including individuals, partnerships, corporations, and joint ventures, no specific preference is outlined. The project appears to be a new infrastructure development rather than a replacement of an existing contract, with no mention of incumbent vendors. Technical documentation suggests SGM, an engineering consulting firm, has prepared the civil linework and design drawings for the project. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the improvements—including civil engineering, landscaping, electrical work, and streamside modifications—indicates a substantial capital investment. Bidders will be required to demonstrate technical capability, financial stability, and experience with similar complex infrastructure projects, with potential for further evaluation during an interview process where additional subcontractor details may be reviewed.
