Cooley Mesa Pump Station Generator

The Town of Gypsum, Colorado is soliciting bids for purchase and installation of a backup diesel generator system at the Cooley Mesa Pump Station, with proposals due October 5, 2026.

The scope encompasses a standby diesel generator, automatic transfer switch, concrete pad foundation, electrical service modifications (conduit, conductors, grounding systems), and all associated controls and appurtenances necessary for backup power. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision for complete construction and commissioning. The existing pump station must remain operational during the contract period except during owner-approved outages. The contractor is responsible for obtaining all permits, including CDPHE Stormwater Discharge and Fugitive Dust permits, and must comply with federal, state, and local regulatory requirements applicable to work in the Town of Gypsum and Eagle County jurisdictions.

The contractor shall coordinate work sequencing with the owner and utility providers, submit a detailed Critical Path Method schedule, and provide advance notice of all planned power outages at least 30 days prior to scheduled shutdown dates. The contractor bears all costs for temporary utilities, facilities, security, stormwater management, fugitive dust control, construction dewatering, and site restoration. All materials and equipment must be new unless otherwise specified, with manufacturers holding system responsibility for multi-component assemblies.

Payment is based on a Schedule of Values submitted within seven days of contract award. Modifications proceed through work change directives and change orders. The contractor must maintain a submittal log tracking all shop drawings, product data, and administrative submittals, subject to a 14-calendar-day engineer review period for each submission. Weekly progress meetings are required throughout the project duration.

No estimated contract value, contract term, set-aside, or preference program is specified in the available source material.
