PKAA, Busy Bee Compaction Grouting Project

The State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is issuing a Notice of Contractor Settlement for the Busy Bee Compaction Grouting Project, which was originally procured through Invitation for Bid (IFB) Number 1 PKAA 2026-0052. This notice addresses the final settlement phase of the project rather than a new procurement opportunity and is directed at all potential claimants, including suppliers of labor, materials, equipment rental, machinery, tools, and other supplies that were utilized during project performance. The notice requires all creditors and suppliers who provided goods or services to file verified statements of unpaid claims with Teresa Donaldson (Teresa.donaldson@state.co.us) at the Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety prior to the final settlement date. The critical deadline for submission of verified claim statements is April 1, 2026, with final settlement scheduled to occur on or after April 2, 2026. Harrison Western Construction Corporation was the contractor awarded the original contract and is subject to this settlement proceeding. Any creditor or supplier who fails to file a verified claim statement before the April 1, 2026 deadline will forfeit all rights to recover payment from the State of Colorado, making timely submission essential for protecting financial interests.

The notice does not indicate specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or award values within the settlement documentation, as this is a final settlement notice rather than a new solicitation for bids or proposals. No information regarding incumbent vendors beyond Harrison Western Construction Corporation, existing infrastructure requirements, or technology integration parameters is provided in the settlement notice. The primary objective of this notice is to establish a formal mechanism for the state to manage its liability exposure and ensure that all legitimate claims against the contractor and its subcontractors are properly documented and processed through the designated settlement authority before final payment is rendered.
