The City of Longmont, Colorado, is seeking bids for the Garden Acres Bridge Replacement project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative located in Boulder County. The procurement involves replacing an existing pedestrian bridge that spans the Oligarchy Ditch in Garden Acres Park, utilizing a salvaged bridge from the Resilient St. Vrain Project. Key project deliverables include bridge demolition, installation of a new bridge with improved decking and rails, utility work, and comprehensive landscape restoration while maintaining access to an adjacent ditch diversion and pump station. Bidders must demonstrate 5 years of experience with similar scale, budget, and scope of projects and provide 3 references. The bid was issued on August 21, 2025, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM MT, and electronic bid submissions due by September 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM MT through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The contract requires completion within 65 days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $500 per day for delays. The procurement offers local business preferences, with a 5% bid reduction for Longmont-based businesses and an additional 2.5% for small businesses with 35 or fewer employees. A mandatory 5% bid guarantee is required, and the successful bidder must provide performance and labor and material payment bonds. The project emphasizes sustainability, with a goal of recycling at least 75% of construction waste and meeting Colorado Office of the State Architect recommendations for reducing embodied carbon in concrete and structural elements. The engineer's cost estimates provide three scenarios: a base bid of $681,440 for standard bridge replacement, an open trench utility installation option at $718,880, and a bored utility installation option at $801,056. Contractors will be evaluated on their ability to meet technical specifications, environmental considerations, and comprehensive infrastructure replacement requirements. The project will be funded through the City of Longmont's municipal budget, with the total contract price determined through unit pricing in the bid schedule.
