Four Canyons Parkway Phase 2B

The City of Grand Junction, located in Mesa County, Colorado, is soliciting competitive bids for the Four Canyons Parkway Phase 2B Project through an Invitation for Bid (IFB-5692-25-DD). The project involves constructing the eastern half of an urban arterial parkway from 24 Road to 25 Road, with a 160-ft right-of-way, and reconstructing 25 Road between F Road and Patterson Road. Contractors must be pre-qualified in specific categories including Stream and Stormwater, Roadway and Earthwork, Asphalt Paving, and Concrete Work. The comprehensive scope includes roadway, intersection, utility, irrigation, landscaping, and electrical infrastructure improvements across multiple roadways. Bids are due on June 30, 2025, prior to 2:00 PM, with electronic submissions accepted only through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The project has a scheduled completion time of 515 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with a final completion date not extending beyond December 31, 2026. Evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, pre-qualification status, and bid pricing.

Bidders must comply with Colorado labor requirements mandating 80% Colorado labor for public works projects. The project does not specify specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will need to provide appropriate insurance and performance bonds, with the bid schedule including allowances for asphalt cement cost adjustments and minor contract revisions (preset amounts of $400,000 and $800,000 respectively). Utility coordination is a critical component, with Xcel Energy performing excavation of joint utility trenches and each utility provider required to coordinate conduit placement. The project involves extensive infrastructure work, including water pipes, storm drains, irrigation systems, traffic signals, electrical work, and landscaping across various locations such as 24 Road, 25 Road, F Road, and surrounding areas. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project and the 515-day timeline suggest a significant investment in urban infrastructure development. The bid includes detailed line items covering multiple construction and infrastructure components, indicating a complex and comprehensive municipal engineering project.
