The City of Wheat Ridge Parks & Recreation Department is requesting proposals to replace a children's water slide with a 1-inch flex hose water supply connection, with responses due August 28, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Award will be made on best-value basis rather than lowest price, and the City reserves the right to make multiple awards or negotiate further with proposers.

The slide must be ocean-themed, sized no larger than 4 feet wide by 8 feet long by 9 feet tall, and designed to accommodate the existing 1-inch pool water supply via flexible hose with ball valve connection. The slide must have no additional sprayers and no area of influence beyond the front pool entry. Delivery to 4005 Kipling Street in Wheat Ridge with ground-level capability is required, as no loading dock is available. The City prefers delivery by early December 2026 and strongly prefers earlier delivery.

Colorado's Keep Jobs in Colorado Act requires 80 percent Colorado labor. Proposers must maintain $1 million general liability insurance with additional insured designations as specified. The City of Wheat Ridge is exempt from sales and use taxes; proposers must exclude such taxes from pricing. All prices must remain firm for one year following acceptance, with any subsequent increases capped at 3 percent annually and requiring written justification.

Responses must include detailed submissions with references for similar work, lump sum and itemized quotes with freight and delivery costs, and all required state and federal licenses and permits. Contact Whitney Mugford-Smith of the Parks & Recreation Department for questions.
