McCain Access Road

The Town of Breckenridge, located in Teller County, Colorado, is seeking bids for the McCain Access Road project, a comprehensive roadway construction and utility installation initiative. The project involves constructing an approximately 0.75-mile access road with 34-foot wide roadway, 11-foot lanes, 5-foot bike shoulders, curb and gutter, and a right-of-way between 70-75 feet wide. Key deliverables include roadway infrastructure, utility installations (water lines, storm sewers, fire hydrants), two infiltration ponds for stormwater management, and associated site improvements. The project requires detailed civil engineering work, including earthwork, asphalt paving, utility connections, and erosion control measures. Bidders must submit electronic proposals by March 20, 2024, at 5:00 PM, with a pre-bid meeting held on February 28, 2024, at 9:30 AM at the Public Works administration offices. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond, with performance and payment bonds required for the successful bidder. The project is scheduled to commence no earlier than April 1, 2024, with substantial completion targeted for September 27, 2024, and final completion by October 11, 2024.

The contract includes specific provisions favoring local and disadvantaged businesses, with a local bidder preference allowing companies within 3% of the lowest bid to potentially be awarded the contract. The project is subject to the "Keep Jobs in Colorado Act of 2013," mandating that contractors employ at least 80% Colorado labor unless a waiver is granted. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation is encouraged, with potential price adjustments for qualifying bidders. Liquidated damages are set at $500 per day for delays in substantial completion and $300 per day for final completion delays. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the project involves multiple bid items across 37 line items covering various construction and utility work components. The Town of Breckenridge will make progress payments of 95% of the calculated value of completed work, with a 5% retainage held until satisfactory project completion. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 commercial general liability, $500,000 automobile liability, and statutory workers' compensation coverage.
