Hover over St. Vrain Creek Bridge Rehabilitation

The City of Longmont Public Works Engineering Division is seeking bids for the Hover St. over St. Vrain Creek Bridge Rehabilitation project (IFB-425014), a comprehensive infrastructure maintenance initiative. The primary procurement involves bridge rehabilitation, specifically including sidewalk panel replacement, concrete pavement panel replacement, and expansion joint replacement. Contractors are required to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to complete the work, with a specific requirement to coordinate signal modifications at Hover St. and 3rd Ave. with a City-selected contractor. Minimum qualifications mandate that bidders must have completed at least three projects of similar scope and complexity, valued at $350,000 or more, within the last five years. Bids must be electronically submitted through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 22, 2025, prior to 1:00 p.m. MT, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for April 30, 2025. The project has a defined contract time of 50 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with an anticipated construction start between June 30 and August 28.

The solicitation includes local and small business preferences, offering a 5% preference for local businesses and an additional 2.5% for small businesses on the first $100,000 of the bid. Bidders can qualify as a "Local Business" by holding a Longmont sales tax license and demonstrating local employee presence, or as a "Small Business" with 35 or fewer employees. A mandatory bid guarantee of 5% of the total bid amount is required, and liquidated damages are set at $1,400 per calendar day for project delays. Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds will be required, each equal to the full contract price. The City reserves the right to cancel the bid, reject any submissions, and adjust work quantities based on budgetary requirements. While a specific budget is not explicitly stated, the bid schedule includes 42 line items with detailed quantities for various project components, suggesting a substantial infrastructure investment. The project appears to be funded through the City of Longmont's public works budget, focusing on critical infrastructure preservation and maintenance.
