Fountain Fire Station #4 UPDATED 9/17/26

The City of Fountain, Colorado is requesting proposals from qualified General Contractors for construction of Fountain Fire Station #4, with proposals due October 12, 2026. The project encompasses all labor, materials, general construction, and site work necessary to complete the new fire station facility.

Work must comply with 2021 International Building Code standards and 2023 National Electrical Code requirements. The scope includes multiple construction divisions: general requirements, concrete work, structural elements, mechanical systems, electrical systems, and fire protection systems. The contractor must establish and maintain a Quality Control Plan detailing personnel, procedures, and testing protocols, submitted with the Schedule of Values and Construction Progress Schedule. Special inspections for structural work, welding, concrete testing, and masonry testing are required; the Owner covers these costs, but the contractor is responsible for testing related to material substitutions or corrective actions. Pricing includes unit prices for civil work items such as imported structural fill, backfill, asphalt paving, concrete walks, curb and gutter, and heavy-duty concrete. An optional Alternate #01 provides for adding a third truck bay.

A preconstruction conference is mandatory following Notice of Award. The contractor must conduct regular progress meetings with major subcontractors (mechanical, electrical, utility, earthwork, masonry, and steel erection trades) and coordinate site mobilization procedures. Contractor-provided warranties from both the contractor and all subcontractors, along with manufacturer warranties, are required. A one-year correction period applies after Notice of Acceptance for defects due to faulty materials or workmanship. Record documents, including as-built drawings showing underground utility locations and equipment locations, must be submitted at project completion. Re-inspection fees of $150 per hour apply if the contractor fails to complete punch list items satisfactorily.
