Little Dry Creek Irrigation Replacement

The South Suburban Park and Recreation District is seeking bids for the Little Dry Creek Irrigation Replacement project located in Littleton, Colorado, specifically at 6389 S. Clermont Ct. This procurement is a public works project requiring the comprehensive replacement of an existing irrigation system with a new High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) system, including a booster pump station, controller, and associated infrastructure. The project requires a qualified contractor to provide and install a complete irrigation solution with specific technical requirements, including a 40 GPM pump station with performance specifications ranging from 50 PSI to 90 PSI and utilizing a 3HP pump with 240V power requirements. Sealed bids will be received until 10:00am local time on May 5, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for April 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the district's address of 5500 Boatworks Drive. Bidders must submit a cashier's check or bid bond for 5% of their maximum bid price and demonstrate qualifications including a permanent business location, adequate equipment, financial resources, and appropriate technical experience. Bidders can obtain project documents from the Rocky Mountain E Purchasing System after April 11, 2025, and must maintain their bid for 60 days after the bid opening.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does mandate that at least 80% of the work be performed by Colorado laborers, with potential waivers available under specific circumstances. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The project requires a Performance, Payment, and Warranty Bond from the awarded contractor, with liquidated damages of $250 per day for late startup of major equipment, late substantial completion, and late final completion. While no specific total project budget is explicitly stated, the comprehensive bid documents suggest the project will be funded directly by South Suburban Park and Recreation District. The irrigation system design includes multiple valve zones, a master valve, flow sensors, and a two-wire control system, with the pump station featuring a marine-grade aluminum enclosure, pressure transducers, temperature sensors, and a station heater. The contract documents will be accessible through www.bidnetdirect.com/south-suburban-park-and-recreation-district and https://gameplan.ssprd.org/bids-proposals, with the project being coordinated by Michelle Lantz, Project Coordinator and Inspector.
