Paradise Hills Irrigation Pump Station

The City of Grand Junction is requesting competitive bids for one complete, factory-assembled outdoor irrigation pump station for the Paradise Hills project under IFB-5985-26-DD, with bids due September 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM. This is a materials-purchase-only procurement; the City will handle installation internally.

The pump station must be designed to deliver 210 gallons per minute at 75 pounds per square inch gauge with a suction lift of 54 inches and include a self-priming or integral automatic priming system, variable-frequency drive for pressure control, electrical disconnect, control panel, structural base, packaged piping, and protective enclosure. Bidders must submit manufacturer specifications, Material Safety Data Sheets, certified dimensions, operating weight, pump curve data, motor horsepower, total station full-load current, disconnect rating, and enclosure material and finish specifications.

Pricing is a lump sum covering all labor, equipment, supplies, materials, freight (F.O.B. Destination—Freight Pre-paid and Allowed), travel, mobilization, fuel, and all other costs. The City is exempt from Colorado sales and use taxes, so tax shall not be included in bid pricing. Bids must remain firm for sixty calendar days following the submittal deadline.

The City will evaluate proposals on technical approach, equipment configuration, functionality, performance, compatibility, warranty, service and support, lifecycle considerations, proposer qualifications and experience, implementation approach, and total cost—selecting the bid providing best overall value rather than lowest price alone.

Questions are due September 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM, with addenda posted by September 16. A public virtual bid opening occurs September 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Notice of Award and contract execution are anticipated for September 28, 2026, with work to begin no later than receipt of Notice to Proceed and final completion required by December 31, 2026. Submissions must be made electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (RMEPS).
