Hefley Gym Floor Demo and Abatement

Colorado Northwestern Community College (CNCC) is seeking professional services for a specialized gymnasium floor demolition and asbestos abatement project located at its Rangely campus. The procurement is classified as professional services under Colorado Revised Statutes 24-30-1402 and specifically targets industrial hygienists to remove the existing gym floor in the Hefley Arena. The project requires comprehensive deconstruction services, including abating vermiculite material using specialized containment techniques, negative air movement through HEPA filtration, and complete removal of wood flooring and nailing strips from the concrete slab. Deliverables include full decontamination of the concrete surface, proper waste disposal adhering to State of Colorado regulations, and preparation for future reconstruction. The solicitation involves a mandatory site meeting with two scheduled dates: April 16th and April 18th, 2024, with qualifications due by April 24th, 2024, at 10:00 AM. Evaluation criteria will focus on project team qualifications, firm capabilities, prior experience with similar complex projects, project approach, and work location. The entire project must be completed by May 31st, 2024.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the Response Sheet provides options for vendors to self-identify as small, minority, woman-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Potential bidders must be members of Colorado's VSS system or BidNet Direct and accept 45-day payment terms. While no specific budget range is mentioned, the solicitation includes a requirement for firms to provide detailed cost proposals for the deconstruction methods. The project references a Limited Asbestos Inspection Report by Grande River Environmental, which revealed vermiculite insulation containing less than 0.25% asbestos, indicating minimal regulatory complications. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified, and the project appears to be a standalone renovation effort for the 1962-constructed CNCC facility. Liquidated damages of $500 per day are specified for delays beyond the substantial completion date, suggesting the college's emphasis on timely project completion.
