Parker Road Sidewalks - East Side Gaps Pine Drive to Stroh Road

Douglas County, Colorado is seeking bids for the Parker Road Sidewalks project, a comprehensive infrastructure improvement initiative targeting a 10-foot-wide concrete shared use path along the east side of Parker Road between Pine Drive and Stroh Road. The project, designated as CIP23-042, involves constructing two distinct segments with multiple critical infrastructure components, including ADA-compliant curb ramp upgrades, retaining walls, two prefabricated steel pedestrian bridges, and various drainage structures. Potential contractors must be prepared to execute a complex, multi-faceted transportation infrastructure project that requires precise engineering, construction, and civil works capabilities. The bid is scheduled to be due on September 4, 2025, with the opportunity originally posted on August 14, 2025. The comprehensive bid schedule details over 100 line items covering extensive work categories such as clearing and grubbing, excavation, concrete work, erosion control, traffic management, electrical conduit installation, and signage, indicating a robust and detailed procurement process that demands significant technical expertise and construction management skills.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the project appears to be a standard competitive bidding process open to qualified contractors with demonstrated infrastructure construction capabilities. The bid schedule indicates a total anticipated project value of $506,400, with flexible allocations across multiple categories including minor contract revisions, on-the-job trainee programs, landscaping, and erosion control. Contractors will need to provide comprehensive pricing across Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, with line items covering traffic control, construction surveying, mobilization, and public information management. The project requires precise cost estimation, detailed technical understanding of pedestrian infrastructure construction, and the ability to integrate multiple complex engineering elements including steel pedestrian bridges and drainage structures. Financial allocations suggest this is a significant local infrastructure investment aimed at improving pedestrian mobility and accessibility in the Douglas County corridor.
