Griswold Water Purification Facility Roof Replacement

The City of Aurora's Project Delivery Services Division is seeking engineering services for the Griswold Water Purification Facility Roof Replacement Project located at 14201 E Hampden Ave in Arapahoe County, Colorado. The procurement is a qualification-based solicitation using a three-phase process, with the primary objective of designing and replacing the existing facility roof, which spans approximately 48,200 square feet. Interested firms must submit un-priced Technical Qualification Proposals that will be evaluated based on the firm's experience, key personnel qualifications, project approach, and local team capabilities. The proposal submission deadline is August 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System, with a mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for August 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams. Evaluation criteria will focus on technical expertise, team composition, and understanding of the project's complex requirements, with the intent of selecting the most qualified engineering firm to complete the roof replacement during a planned facility shutdown from December 2025 through February 2026.

The City has implemented a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program for this contract, which requires large businesses to make a good faith effort to award at least 10% of subcontracting dollars to SBEs. While a specific project budget is not explicitly stated, the procurement will follow a CM/GC Delivery Method, suggesting potential flexibility in contract structure. The City plans to issue a notice to proceed in October 2025, with contract award actions to be completed by October 1, 2025, and reserves the right to terminate the agreement if appropriate funds are not appropriated. Potential respondents should be prepared for an onsite interview as part of the final selection process, with the top-ranked firm ultimately selected through a comprehensive technical proposal evaluation and subsequent contract negotiations. The project represents an opportunity for engineering firms with specialized experience in municipal water facility infrastructure renovation to demonstrate their capabilities in a structured, competitive procurement process.
