PMAA, 4215, NASRF Isolation and Fish Staging Buildings

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is seeking competitive bids for the construction of two buildings at the John W. Mumma Native Aquatic Species Restoration Facility (NASRF) located near Alamosa, Colorado. The project, identified as IFB 2017-283, involves the design and construction of a 30'x48' pre-engineered metal Isolation Building as the base bid, with an optional 30'x48' Fish Staging and Pit Tagging Building as an alternative bid item. Both structures must include specialized features such as pre-engineered metal construction with insulation (R-29 sidewall and R-32 roof), concrete slabs meeting 4500 PSI minimum strength, water-resistant fiberglass reinforced panel (FRP) wall paneling to 8 feet above finished floor, metal roofing and siding, insulated overhead doors, LED lighting systems, gas-fired infrared heaters, industrial exhaust fans, plumbing infrastructure with floor drains and slope requirements, hot and cold water supply systems, electrical service, and HVAC equipment. The Isolation Building requires an effluent collection vault with UV device accommodation and specific drainage specifications, while the Staging Building must accommodate 12-foot diameter tanks to be supplied by the owner. Bidders must submit sealed proposals by June 21, 2017, at 1:30 p.m., with a pre-bid conference having been held on June 12, 2017, at the project site. All written questions must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. on June 16, 2017, and the contract completion deadline is 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $375 per day assessed for delays. Successful contractors must perform at least 50% of the work with their own organization (except for approved specialty items), carry workers' compensation insurance and comprehensive general liability coverage with minimum $1,000,000 combined single limits, and provide a Performance Bond and Labor and Material Bond equal to 100% of the estimated contract price if exceeding $150,000.

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) registered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible for a 5% bid preference on this opportunity. Contractors performing more than $500,000 in work must justify the use of at least 80% Colorado labor and submit a Colorado Labor Justification form with their bid proposal. All bidders must submit a 5% bid bond (acceptable forms include a bond, certified check, or cashier's check), a signed contract proposal acknowledging all addendums, and a completed W-9 form. The project is funded through the Species Conservation Fund, and no Davis-Bacon wage requirements apply to this procurement. While no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents, the project requires integration with existing utilities at the NASRF facility, including 200 amps of electrical power available at the Staging Building location and coordination with the hatchery's future water line insulation installation. The estimated contract value is not explicitly stated in the available documents, though the Project Manager is Tim Vrudny (970-375-6719) and the Design Engineer is Jordan Hasz (303-291-7393), with contract processing expected to require 3 to 6 weeks following the Notice to Proceed.
