Drainage and soil remediation at broken tee golf course

The City of Englewood's Parks, Recreation, Library, and Golf Department is seeking proposals for a comprehensive drainage and soil remediation project at Broken Tee Golf Course, specifically targeting holes 1-6 of the championship course. The project involves extensive drainage infrastructure improvements, including excavation of 4,300 cubic yards of unsuitable soil, installation of 12,117 linear feet of 4-inch perforated drainpipe, 1,435 linear feet of 6-inch perforated drainpipe, 735 linear feet of 6-inch solid drainpipe, and 50 twelve-inch drain inlets with cast iron grates. Contractors will also be responsible for placing 3,800 cubic yards of topsoil, finish grading, and sodding 230,000 square feet with bluegrass ryegrass turf-type sod. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting and site visit is scheduled for November 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM MST, with sealed electronic proposals due November 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM MDT. Proposals will be evaluated on project understanding and management approach (35 points), project team experience and technical capability (35 points), and price proposal (30 points), with a total of 100 possible points. The anticipated notice to proceed is mid-to-late January, with work expected to commence between January 15, 2026, and March 15, 2026, and substantial completion required by May 1, 2026.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does express a preference for contractors with prior golf course construction experience. While membership in the Golf Course Builders Association of America is preferred, it is not mandatory, and contractors are required to have completed at least 54 holes of new or major remodel golf course construction within the past 5 years. The project utilizes a lump-sum contract structure with unit pricing for changes not to exceed plus or minus 20 percent of the total contract amount. A five percent bid bond is required, and the awarded contractor must provide a 100 percent performance, payment, and maintenance bond within 10 days of the Notice of Award. Liquidated damages ranging from $1,600 to $2,300 per day will be assessed for delays beyond specified completion dates. Contractors must also comply with local tax requirements, including the City of Englewood's 3.8 percent use tax and Arapahoe County Open Space use tax of 0.25 percent on construction materials. While specific budget details are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope and technical specifications suggest a significant municipal investment in infrastructure improvement.
