E-470 2025 Resurfacing From Toll Plaza E to I-25

The E-470 Public Highway Authority is conducting a competitive bid process for a comprehensive highway resurfacing project located in Adams and Broomfield County, Colorado. The procurement (Contract No. EN-25-PAVE-1) involves mill and overlay work on E-470 from Toll Plaza E to I-25(North), spanning approximately 6.6 miles between mile markers 40 and 46.6. Primary deliverables include removing existing pavement, milling 2 inches of surface, and applying a new 2-inch Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) overlay across the full pavement width, including shoulders and ramps. The project requires precise technical execution, including using a material transfer device for asphalt re-mixing, automatic screed controls for pavers, and specific tack coat application techniques. Key project dates include a pre-bid meeting on June 17, 2025 at 1:00 pm, bid submissions due on July 18, 2025 before 2:00 pm, anticipated contract approval on August 14, 2025, and a targeted completion date of November 20, 2025. Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond and a Declaration of Non-Collusion affidavit, with work permitted Monday through Sunday from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, subject to Authority approval.

The procurement appears to have a preference for Colorado-based labor under the Keep Jobs in Colorado Act of 2013, though no specific disadvantaged enterprise set-asides are explicitly detailed. The total project involves approximately 331,511 square yards of asphalt planing and 37,076 tons of stone matrix asphalt, with comprehensive line items covering storm drain inlet protection, pavement marking, construction surveying, mobilization, and traffic control. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the bid tabulation suggests a significant infrastructure investment with precise unit pricing for various construction activities. The E-470 Authority will be exempt from state sales and use tax on construction materials, potentially reducing overall project costs. Contractors must maintain extensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, commercial automobile liability, professional liability, and pollution liability insurance with specific minimum coverage amounts. The project requires strict coordination with E-470 Authority staff and compliance with comprehensive technical specifications, indicating a complex and carefully managed infrastructure improvement initiative.
