Glen Erie South Water Storage Tank Rehabilitation Project

The City of Craig, Colorado is seeking proposals for the Glen Erie South Water Storage Tank Rehabilitation Project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative targeting a 500,000-gallon welded steel water storage tank located at the corner of East 11th Street and Bryan Way. The project involves extensive tank rehabilitation, including installing new components such as a roof vent, roof hatch, interior ladder, column capital, and implementing a new cathodic protection system. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals by July 29, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. to the Craig City Clerk's Office, with both physical and electronic submission options available. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 22, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. onsite, where prospective contractors can review project specifications. Qualified contractors must demonstrate relevant experience, provide a 5% bid bond, and ensure all coating systems meet NSF 600/61 certification for potable water storage tanks. The project requires specialized technical expertise, including non-destructive testing, welding inspections by an AWS certified welding inspector, and coating inspections by a NACE certified coating inspector.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract timeline indicates project commencement on August 18, 2025, with substantial completion expected by October 17, 2025, and final completion by October 31, 2025. Liquidated damages are structured at $1,000 per day for substantial completion delays and $500 per day for final completion delays. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive rehabilitation scope suggests a significant infrastructure investment. Performance and payment bonds will be required upon contract award, and bidders must submit detailed technical submittals including fabrication drawings, material certifications, welding procedures, and coating system documentation. Electronic bidding documents will be available starting July 2, 2025, and can be obtained by emailing theresa@westwtrsln.com. The project will be published in local media on July 2nd, July 9th, and July 16th, 2025, to ensure broad contractor awareness and participation.
