Frisco Water Tank Rehabilitation and Maintenance Services

The Town of Frisco, located in Colorado, is seeking a qualified design-build firm to provide comprehensive water tank rehabilitation and maintenance services for two municipal water storage tanks: an 870,000-gallon tank near Dillon Dam Road and a 500,000-gallon tank near North Tenmile Creek. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a design-build approach, requiring professional turn-key services that include detailed tank inspections, engineering evaluations, design services, and construction activities. Specific deliverables include engineering reports, removal of existing coatings and insulations, application of new coatings, and replacement/installation of tank appurtenances. The Town will evaluate proposals based on a weighted criteria system: Fee Schedule (35%), Project Approach (25%), Qualifications and References (20%), and Project Manager and Personnel (20%). Proposal submissions were originally due on March 14, 2025, but were extended to March 19, 2025, at 5:00 pm, with potential project work scheduled between May and October 2025.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged businesses. The contract allows for flexibility in awarding portions of the scope, with the potential to proceed only with 2025 construction work and potentially opt out of a five-year maintenance period. The Town's standard construction contract includes a two-year general warranty for materials and work. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the project suggests a significant municipal investment in water infrastructure rehabilitation. The project includes optional five-year maintenance services from 2025-2030, providing potential long-term engagement for the selected contractor. Proposers are encouraged to visit the site prior to submission and must provide comprehensive documentation including organizational information, project references, personnel qualifications, project methodology, and a detailed fee schedule. The contract will require extensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability insurance and compliance with Colorado employment authorization verification requirements.
