Improvements to Alice Pleasant Park

The City of Craig, Colorado, is seeking a professional contractor to renovate Alice Pleasant Park, a half-acre downtown pocket park located in the business district. The procurement is a comprehensive renovation project that requires extensive site construction and landscaping expertise, with proposals due on April 15, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. The project scope includes demolishing existing landscape and hardscape features, installing new concrete paving, curb and gutter, pedestrian lighting, power pedestals, landscape and irrigation systems, a pre-manufactured shade structure, and a single-unit restroom. A mandatory virtual pre-bid meeting was held on March 7, 2024, and a detailed pre-bid questions and answers document was subsequently released. The city will evaluate proposals based on multiple criteria including client services, proposal clarity, respondent capabilities, references, municipal experience, and cost-effectiveness, with a focus on creating a functional community space that preserves existing mature trees. Contractors must provide performance bonds, maintain specific insurance coverage, and adhere to local and state code requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project is funded through the City of Craig's infrastructure improvement initiatives, though a specific budget range was not disclosed in the provided documents. Contractors will be required to provide a 1-year warranty for all site construction improvements, including manufacturer warranties for shelters, restrooms, and site furnishings. Technical specifications include using CDOT Class B 4500psi concrete mix, a seal coat for the asphalt parking lot, and crushed 3/8" minus gray granite for crusher fines. The city will handle concrete cylinder testing through a third-party testing company, and contractors must obtain a street cut permit for sanitary line connections. A Geotechnical report was distributed via email on March 11, 2024, and the project includes specific requirements for site furnishings such as an Infinity Curved Bench with precise model specifications.
