About this opportunity

The City of Boulder's Transportation department is seeking bids for a pedestrian bridge replacement project located on Arapahoe Avenue over South Boulder Creek. The procurement involves removing the existing 75-foot pedestrian bridge and constructing a new steel truss bridge with longer span capabilities. Key project deliverables include structure excavation, backfill, new bridge erection, concrete abutment construction, concrete path approaches, and minor site restoration. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 11:00 am, with electronic bid submissions due on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. Evaluation criteria will focus on the contractor's integrity, financial responsibility, technical expertise, and ability to complete the contract satisfactorily. The project requires compliance with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) standard specifications and will involve environmental management, including a Stormwater Management Plan and erosion control measures.

The City of Boulder will apply a local preference policy, requiring at least 80% of skilled and common labor to be Colorado residents. Potential bidders must submit a 5% bid bond, contractor qualification forms, and certificates of good standing. The project appears to be open to all qualified contractors, with an emphasis on encouraging participation from underserved business communities. The total estimated project cost is $59,400.00, which includes a base bid item subtotal of $54,000.00 and a 10% contingency of $5,400.00. The contract term is approximately 60 calendar days from the notice to proceed, excluding shop drawing submittals and pedestrian bridge fabrication time. The project will be funded through the City's municipal transportation infrastructure budget, with potential sales and use tax implications for the successful contractor. The minimal construction site of approximately 0.06 acres will involve careful ground disturbance over existing fill and native granular soils.
