The Town of Mt. Crested Butte, Colorado is soliciting sealed bid proposals for the Anthracite Road Slump Rehabilitation Project, a critical infrastructure improvement initiative located in Grand County. The procurement is seeking qualified construction firms to perform comprehensive roadway rehabilitation on approximately 75 linear feet of Anthracite Drive, with specific technical requirements including pavement and deep subgrade material removal, underdrain installation, drainage improvements, and construction of a reinforced soil slope road substructure. Interested contractors must submit sealed bids to Town Hall (911 Gothic Road) by May 15, 2025, at 11:00 AM (MST), with bids to be publicly opened and read aloud at that time. Bidders are strongly encouraged to conduct a site visit and can arrange tours with town staff, with all technical questions required to be submitted electronically by the proposal deadline. Key deliverables include hot mix asphalt paving, minor concrete flatwork, geotextile fabric placement, aggregate base course installation, and comprehensive drainage system improvements. The project is scheduled for completion by September 15, 2025, with evaluation likely based on technical capabilities, proposed methodology, and competitive pricing.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified construction firms without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be required to provide performance and payment bonds, maintain specific insurance coverages, and demonstrate technical expertise in complex roadway rehabilitation and geotechnical stabilization. The bid schedule includes 22 line items with unit prices and lump sum costs, covering activities from initial mobilization to final rip rap outlet protection. A 10% retainage will be held on progress payments, with final payment contingent upon project completion and municipal acceptance. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and detailed engineering drawings suggest a substantial infrastructure investment by the Town of Mt. Crested Butte. The project will utilize specialized materials including triaxial geogrid, perforated PVC pipes, and ADS N-12 culverts, indicating a technically sophisticated approach to road infrastructure rehabilitation in a challenging mountainous terrain.
