IFB - Denver Basin Well Sites Phase II and Pipeline, Badger Gulch Wells

Parker Water & Sanitation District is seeking bids for the Denver Basin Well Sites Phase II and Pipeline project located in Douglas County, Colorado. The project encompasses the construction of an 8-inch raw water pipeline, Badger Gulch Well Site development, yard piping, meter vault installation, electrical and instrumentation work, gravel access road construction, and a blowdown pond. Key deliverables include developing approximately 6,500 feet of raw waterline connecting the Ridgegate Well Site Phase II with the existing Ridgegate Well House, constructing site improvements, and upgrading the Ridgegate Well House with new process piping, valves, and a vertical turbine high service pump. Bidders must have successfully completed at least five projects involving 5,000 linear feet of 8-inch or larger pipe installation. The procurement is structured as a single prime contract with unit price pricing. Critical dates include a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 15, 2025 at 1:00 PM, requests for clarification due by September 22, 2025 at 2:00 PM, and sealed bids due via Bidnet on October 9, 2025 at 2:00 PM. The total project construction timeline is anticipated to be 425 calendar days.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will be locally funded, with certain equipment like well pumps, motors, VFDs, harmonic filters, and the step-up transformer to be procured separately by other parties but installed under this contract. An electrical switchboard has already been procured from CED for $150,000, indicating some preliminary procurement has occurred. A geotechnical report suggests the project will require careful consideration of soil conditions, with recommendations for remedial grading and specific construction techniques to address potential corrosivity and soil composition challenges. While no specific total project budget is explicitly stated, the electrical switchboard procurement and the comprehensive scope suggest a significant municipal infrastructure investment. Contractors will be notified of bidding results via email or phone, with the ultimate goal of developing and improving water infrastructure for the Parker Water & Sanitation District service area.
