On-Call Culvert Replacement

Park County Public Works is seeking competitive bids through an Invitation for Bid (IFB) PW2025-004 for on-call culvert replacement services throughout Park County, Colorado. The procurement solicits qualified construction companies to install culverts ranging from 12" to 36" in diameter and 20' to 30' in length, with the potential for connecting multiple sections. Bidders must provide pricing quotes for both steel and HDPE culverts, and all installations must comply with American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) standards. The bid is due on February 19th, 2025, at 1:30 PM MST, with a bid opening immediately following in the Park County Public Works conference room. Estimated project start is June 2024, with an anticipated notice of intent to award within three weeks of bid closure. Bidders are required to submit detailed pricing for culverts, backfill material, materials testing, traffic control, and mobilization, and must provide references demonstrating experience with similar infrastructure projects.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, bidders must meet several qualification requirements. These include providing proof of insurance, complying with worker authorization regulations, and demonstrating capacity to perform on-call culvert replacement services. The contract will be governed by Colorado law, with payment terms set at net 30 days from work completion and a potential project bond of five percent. The county reserves the right to reject work not meeting specified standards and to negotiate optional items with the successful bidder. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the on-call nature of the contract suggests flexibility in project scope and potential funding. The procurement appears focused on establishing a responsive, qualified vendor who can provide timely culvert replacement services as infrastructure needs arise in Park County.
