GJRAA Terminal Parking Lot Expansion

The Grand Junction Regional Airport Authority (GJRAA) is seeking a prime contractor for the Terminal Parking Lot Expansion project located in Larimer County, Colorado. The procurement is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for comprehensive infrastructure improvements involving asphalt pavement construction, which includes earthwork, base course installation, area lighting, pavement markings, storm sewer improvements, and detention pond construction. Bidders must be licensed to perform work in Colorado and will be required to provide bid security of 5% of their maximum bid price. The electronic bid submission is scheduled for July 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time, with a public bid opening immediately following. An optional pre-bid conference is planned for July 9, 2025, at 2:00 PM at the airport's administration office, and potential bidders must download plans from BidNetdirect to be included on the planholder's list. The bid documents specify a 60-day bid validity period, during which the Owner may award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Contractors will be expected to provide performance and payment bonds upon contract award.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be funded through the airport's budget, with no specific federal funding noted, though the airport does receive federal funding, which means contractors must comply with associated federal provisions. Performance requirements include expanding public parking for the main Terminal Building, with the Owner reserving the right to reject any or all bids. While no specific budget range is detailed in the provided documentation, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements suggests a significant capital investment. The 91MB planset indicates a complex project with detailed engineering specifications. Potential bidders should be prepared for a comprehensive evaluation process that will assess their technical capabilities, financial stability, and ability to complete the parking lot expansion project within the specified parameters.
