The City of La Junta, Colorado is seeking proposals for Bid #25-003, a construction project involving the design and installation of a 30' x 70' steel coverage structure for municipal dewatering equipment located at 1021 East 3rd St. The project requires engineering, delivery, and construction of a metal structure with specific technical specifications, including a 140+ MPH wind rating, 14' ceiling height, 4/12 roof pitch, 14-gauge framing, six 12x12 garage doors, three residential-style steel entry doors, and insulation, to be constructed on a 6" reinforced concrete slab. Sealed bids will be accepted electronically via email, BidNet Direct, or in person until 2:00 PM (Mountain Time) on Wednesday, May 7th, 2025. While no pre-bid meeting is scheduled, interested contractors can arrange individual site visits with Tom Seaba, the Director of Water and Waste Water. The contract will be awarded to the lowest and most responsive bidder within 120 days of bid opening, with the City reserving the right to reject any or all submissions. The project has a targeted completion timeline of 180 calendar days, with potential liquidated damages for delays. The procurement appears open to all qualifying contractors, with mandatory requirements including submission of a bid bond, detailed financial statements, and proof of public liability and worker's compensation insurance. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with equal opportunity, non-discrimination, and labor provisions, including adherence to federal and state labor regulations and affirmative action requirements. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly stated, standard municipal procurement practices often encourage participation from small, minority-owned, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The City will retain up to 10% of periodic project estimates until final acceptance, providing a financial safeguard for project completion. Although a precise budget range is not specified in the documentation, the comprehensive technical specifications and substantial structural requirements suggest a significant capital investment. Prospective bidders should be prepared to demonstrate robust financial capability, technical expertise in steel structure construction, and a proven track record of municipal infrastructure project completion.
