Contractors must provide surveying and staking, verify and protect existing utilities, maintain traffic flow, manage debris removal and disposal, achieve specified soil compaction standards (95% Standard Proctor for structures and flatwork; 90% for other areas), obtain required permits, and ensure all work complies with Colorado Department of Transportation 2012 Construction Standards and Specifications, OSHA requirements, and state and local safety codes. The mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on February 18, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. at the Lathrop State Park Visitor Center with three contractors in attendance. Written questions were due by February 25, 2016, and sealed bids were due on February 29, 2016, at 1:00 p.m. Work must be completed within 60 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with a project completion deadline of May 15, 2016, and liquidated damages assessed at $150 per day for delays beyond contract time.
