Lakeview Cemetery Infrastructure

The City and County of Broomfield, Colorado, is soliciting bids for the Lakeview Cemetery Infrastructure Project (Project Numbers 25Q0022 & 25U0007), a comprehensive cemetery improvement initiative. The procurement involves constructing six columbarium footer foundations, performing associated civil work, and rehabilitating the cemetery's historic wrought iron fence and entrance gates. Specific deliverables include excavation, concrete flatwork, tree removal and relocation, and creating a designated vehicle access point by reconstructing two fence posts and three adjoining panels. The project requires contractors to design and construct components with long-term durability to withstand decades of use, with an emphasis on secure installation and easy removal for staff access. Bid documents were released on August 28, 2025, with questions due by September 8, 2025, and final bid submissions required by September 17, 2025, at 11:00 am local time. The anticipated Notice to Proceed is September 29, 2025, with a contract duration of 56 calendar days and a two-year warranty period. Evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, considering qualifications, past performance, and compliance with prescribed requirements.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project utilizes a unit cost bidding method, with an initial base bid amount of $8,500.00 and includes two add alternate bid items. Contractors must submit a comprehensive bid package, including a completed bid form, bid security (for bids over $50,000), qualification documentation, W-9, insurance certificates, and a current Colorado Certificate of Good Standing. Performance and labor/material payment bonds are required for work exceeding $50,000. The project includes a force account line item of $8,500.00, and the City retains discretion in selecting add alternate bid items. Liquidated damages are set at $500 per day for project delays. If the contract price exceeds $500,000, contractors must employ at least 80% Colorado labor. The project is funded through the City and County of Broomfield's budget, with financial obligations subject to appropriation and availability of funds.
