The Town of Parker, Colorado is requesting qualifications for on-call professional construction inspection and management services related to parks, trails, and open space under RFQ 26-016, with proposals due August 14, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the Town's Bonfire portal. Questions are due August 7, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.

The scope covers construction inspection services across grading and earthwork, concrete and asphalt pavement, curb and gutter, ADA compliance, trail alignment, lighting, irrigation systems, retaining walls, fencing, utility infrastructure, athletic fields, playgrounds, splashpads, pedestrian bridges, landscape work, and plumbed restroom buildings. The consultant will report to the Town's Park Project Manager or Deputy Director of Parks, Forestry and Open Space and must provide all inspection vehicles and safety equipment. Work is anticipated at 20 to 40 hours per week during standard business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday), with an expected 35-hour weekly average accounting for seasonal variance and weather-related shutdowns. The Town does not guarantee work availability on weather-restricted days.

The initial contract term runs one year from September 2026, with four optional one-year renewals. The consultant must obtain a Town of Parker business license prior to commencing work or within 30 days of award and maintain commercial general liability ($1 million each occurrence, $2 million general aggregate), workers' compensation at statutory limits, and professional liability/errors and omissions ($1 million each occurrence, $2 million general aggregate), with the Town named as additional insured. Compensation follows a rate schedule (Exhibit B) with no reimbursement for travel, meals, or administrative overhead. The hourly rate must include all labor, equipment use, and travel time.

The evaluation committee will score responses on Consultant Qualifications and Relevant Experience (40%), Key Staff Qualifications and Personnel Availability (30%), Key Staff Knowledge and Experience of Parks, Trails and Open Space Construction (20%), and Cost and Rate Structure (10%). Interviews may be conducted; notice of intent to award is expected in August or September 2026.
