Georgetown Gateway Argentine Street North

The Town of Georgetown, Colorado is seeking a qualified contractor for the Georgetown Gateway: Argentine Street North infrastructure improvement project through an Invitation to Bid (ITB). The procurement targets comprehensive streetscape improvements along Argentine Street from 15th to 22nd Street, including installation of sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA-compliant ramps, street lighting on the east side of the street, a small roundabout at 22nd Street, a bikeway on the west side, road striping, signage, and landscaping. Bidders must be prequalified through the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and are required to submit detailed information including project oversight personnel, insurance carrier details, potential conflicts of interest, and five previous project references. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 22, 2024, at 9:00 AM at Town Hall, with pre-bid questions due by May 24, 2024, at 5:00 PM. The final bid deadline is May 31, 2024, at noon, with bids to be submitted exclusively through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System website. The Town will award the contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with bids remaining valid for 90 days.

The procurement does not include specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no federal mandates such as Davis Bacon, On-the-Job Training (OJT), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), or Buy America regulations are applicable to this project. While permit costs will be waived, contractors must still apply and submit plans. The project is part of a broader Gateway Master Plan developed in 2002 to improve the main traffic artery in Georgetown, a historic town of approximately 1,300 residents located 45 miles west of Denver. Although a specific budget range is not explicitly stated in the provided documents, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements suggests a significant municipal investment. The project represents a strategic effort to enhance urban infrastructure, improve pedestrian and bicycle accessibility, and support the town's long-term transportation and aesthetic development goals. Interested contractors should carefully review all bid documents and ensure full compliance with the specified requirements to be considered for the contract.
