DQ1, BAAA, 2026-0295 CDA Administration Asphalt Replacement

The Colorado Department of Agriculture (CDA) is soliciting quotes for asphalt removal, repaving, and striping services at its administrative building located at 305 Interlocken Parkway, Broomfield, Colorado, through Documented Quote Request (DQ) DQ1,BAAA,2026-0295. The project scope requires contractors to mill approximately 80,475 square feet of asphalt parking lot (excluding the Lab parking lot) to a depth of 2 inches, haul away asphalt millings off-site, clean the milled surface, apply tack coat, install new asphalt overlay, and compact the material in place. Additional work includes restriping the parking lot to match the existing layout with approximately 169 parking stalls and 6 handicap stencils. The procurement requires contractors to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, and transportation necessary for project completion. The project must be phased to maintain staff parking availability through a secondary entrance during the front parking lot repaving phase, with work occurring during weekday business hours (Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and potentially during weekend hours when buildings are closed. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by March 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM Mountain Time, with state responses due by March 25, 2026, and quotes are due March 31, 2026 at 10:00 AM. The anticipated contract start date is April/May 2026, with contract termination on June 30, 2026 (end of State Fiscal Year). Bidders must submit comprehensive, firm pricing on vendor letterhead as a binding offer via Box.com link or Colorado Vendor Self Service (VSS) platform, with files submitted at least thirty minutes prior to deadline. Award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder, and the State reserves the right to reject any or all quotes or cancel the solicitation at its discretion.

Preference shall be given to Colorado resident bidders and those using Colorado labor as provided by state law, with a minimum requirement of eighty percent Colorado labor. For construction contracts valued at $50,000 or greater, a bid bond or proposal guaranty equal to not less than 5% of the total bid amount is required. Before award, vendors must be registered in CORE through Colorado VSS, registered to do business in Colorado, comply with E-Verify requirements, and disclose any services performed outside Colorado. Contractors must carry Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and provide Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds in the full amount of the contract sum. Monthly payment applications will be processed within a reasonable timeframe by the Architect/Engineer, with amounts paid within forty-five days of receipt by the Principal Representative or interest accrues at one percent per month; a five percent retainage will be withheld until substantial completion. No specific budget range or incumbent vendor information is provided in the solicitation materials; however, the project scope and requirement for bid bonds on contracts valued at $50,000 or greater suggests a substantial contract value. The State is exempt from federal excise taxes and state and local government use taxes, though vendors may be required to pay sales tax in certain political subdivisions.
