Historic Church Kitchen Renovation

The Town of Fraser in Grand County, Colorado, is seeking competitive bids for the Historic Church Kitchen Renovation project, a comprehensive renovation of a former church and community center located at 107 East Eisenhower Drive. The procurement involves a single general contract covering all trades, with construction documents prepared by DAO Architecture and supporting engineering firms including JVA Incorporated, DMA Engineering, and Kazin and Associates. The project scope includes partial demolition of interior walls and fixtures, installation of new walls to accommodate updated kitchen and restroom spaces, and adjustments to mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems across approximately 3,582 square feet. The contract opportunity was posted on April 17, 2025, with proposal submissions due by May 16, 2025. Contractors must be prepared to transform the space while maintaining the building's historical character and adhering to 2021 International Building Code requirements, with specific attention to occupancy classifications (A-3 Assembly and B Business spaces), fire protection, means of egress, and accessibility standards.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly stated in the documentation, potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive construction capabilities across multiple trades. The project will involve working with luxury vinyl tile flooring, painted gypsum walls, Thomasville Artisan Cabinetry, and solid surface countertops, along with installing new appliances and modernizing building systems. Although the exact budget is not disclosed, the detailed 100% construction documents suggest a professionally scoped project ready for contractor bidding. The renovation aims to continue supporting community activities by updating the facility's functional spaces, which implies that local contractors familiar with community-focused renovation projects might be particularly well-suited to this opportunity. Potential bidders should carefully review the comprehensive construction documents, which include detailed specifications across 32 divisions covering everything from general requirements to specialized construction elements.
