Pmaa-2016-sela-accessible transfer dock and launch

The Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife, acting on behalf of Kit Carson County and Denver City, issued a Documented Quote (DQ1) solicitation for the design, procurement, and installation of one Accessible Transfer Dock and Launch system for kayaks and canoes at Lathrop State Park in Walsenburg, Colorado. The dock system must incorporate EZ Dock components or approved equivalents and meet all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility requirements, including a gangway measuring 4 feet wide by 12 feet long with aluminum tube railings, a floating dock platform approximately 15 feet by 13 feet with adjustable height capabilities to accommodate water level fluctuations of one to two feet annually, transfer benches with adjustable heights, transfer slide boards, guide rails, and launch rollers. The system must feature dual access points with perpendicular orientation to shore to provide user approach options regardless of wind direction and accommodate water depths of four to five feet approximately ten feet from shore. Bidders must submit pricing inclusive of all costs, including delivery, installation, and any trade-in values or discounts, as the State of Colorado will not cover shipping or freight costs; on-site technical assistance during installation is required, though remote phone support may be acceptable if clearly conveyed to park staff. The written inquiry deadline was April 6, 2016, with bid closure on April 11, 2016, at 3:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, and award expected by April 13, 2016, with delivery completion required before May 15, 2016. Bidders must submit a current W-9 form if not registered in the Colorado Vendor Self-Service system, along with pricing documentation, specification verification, and vendor information sheets via email, USPS, courier service, or hand delivery to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Procurement Office.

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) registered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible to receive a 5% preference on their bid price, and resident bidder preferences apply in accordance with Colorado statute. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. The solicitation indicates that the State will provide ground preparation work, including removal of existing concrete ramps and pouring of a concrete headwall for gangway attachment, and notes that the dock system will likely be removed from the water and stored on shore during winter months. The State demonstrated openness to alternative designs, including different dock sizes, PVC decking, and alternative materials, provided they meet minimum ADA requirements and dual-access specifications. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the available solicitation documents. All materials, software, reports, data, and other documents delivered become the exclusive property of the State of Colorado, and standard Purchase Order Terms and Conditions apply, requiring vendors to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Act requirements, provide Material Safety Data Sheets for regulated materials, obtain appropriate insurance coverage, and meet employment eligibility verification requirements through the E-Verify Program.
