Grigs road paving project

Douglas County Government's Department of Public Works is seeking sealed bids for the Grigs Road Paving Project (CI 2021-032), a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative located in Castle Rock, Colorado. The project involves extending existing asphalt pavement for approximately one mile from Daniels Park Road to the East/West Regional Trailhead & Pavilion parking lot, requiring significant earthwork, new curb and gutter installation, and six-inch asphalt pavement construction. Key deliverables include installing eight new inlet structures, replacing metal pipe culvert crossings with reinforced concrete pipes, and implementing drainage enhancements. Bidders must have active prequalification status with the Colorado Department of Transportation and be capable of executing a complex roadway project involving approximately 10,875 linear feet of curb and gutter, 2,394 tons of hot mix asphalt, and 6,474 cubic yards of unclassified excavation. Critical procurement dates include a pre-bid conference on April 15, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., questions due by 5:00 p.m. on April 22, 2025, and sealed bids due by 2:30 p.m. on April 29, 2025, all to be submitted at the Philip S. Miller Building in Castle Rock.

The project does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond with their proposal and will need to provide payment and performance bonds covering 100% of the contract price if awarded. The contract time is 90 calendar days, with an anticipated construction start date of July 7, 2025. While specific budget details are not publicly disclosed, the project involves substantial infrastructure investment with multiple bid items including clearing and grubbing, excavation, embankment, erosion control, seeding, hot mix asphalt paving, drainage structures, and traffic control. Potential contractors should be prepared to comply with CDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and Douglas County Roadway Design and Construction Standards. The project will be funded through Douglas County, with liquidated damages provisions included for failure to complete work within the specified timeframe.
