Colorado Parks and Wildlife is soliciting sealed bids for the Midwestern Farms Boat Ramp construction project (S19ALLSCP-5366) located approximately 23.5 miles east of Lamar on Highway 50 in Pitkin County, Colorado. This Division II capital construction project requires contractors to complete temporary cofferdam construction, dewatering operations, earthwork, and installation of a concrete boat ramp with associated rip rap erosion protection within a 60-calendar-day performance period from the Notice to Proceed. Required deliverables include mobilization, dewatering, excavation, Class 6 aggregate base course (12 tons), concrete boat ramp installation (12 cubic yards), 18-inch rip rap placement (24 tons), and materials testing (3 trips), with optional bid items for additional concrete, rip rap, and aggregate base course subject to budget availability. Qualified contractors must possess comprehensive general liability insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit coverage, comprehensive automobile liability insurance with equivalent limits, and proof of worker's compensation insurance; contractors must also demonstrate ability to perform work during sunrise-to-sunset hours, Monday through Friday, with all temporary electric, water, and sanitary facilities provided at contractor expense. The pre-bid conference was held on September 25, 2018 at 2:00 PM at the project site, with sealed bids due on October 9, 2018 at 1:00 PM MST at the Parks and Wildlife Southeast Region Service Center in Colorado Springs; written questions were required to be submitted by 10:00 AM MST on October 2, 2018, with responses provided in a Final Addendum. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting all requirements, with bid comparison based on the Grand Total Price, and a bid bond, certified check, or cashier's check equal to 5 percent of the total bid is required for bids exceeding $50,000.

Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) certified through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible to receive a 5 percent preference on their bid price, and contractors may self-identify as Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE), HUBZone businesses, or other small business designations through submission of the required Form W-9. The attendance list from the pre-bid conference indicates that Carrigan Excavating, LLC attended the pre-bid meeting, though no incumbent vendor or existing contract information is documented. The project is funded under Fund 4100, Appropriation Code PC002INFP, and will be issued as a purchase order if the contract amount is under $100,000 or as a formal contract if over $100,000, with a Performance and Payment Bond required at 100 percent of the estimated contract price if the contract exceeds $150,000; while no specific budget amount is disclosed in the procurement documents, the bid bond requirement threshold of $50,000 and contract bond requirements at $150,000 suggest the project falls within a moderate construction budget range. All contractors must comply with Colorado's General Conditions for Capital Construction (July 2018), which establish liquidated damages of $150 per day for failure to meet performance schedules, a two-year warranty period for concrete work and one-year warranty for other construction work, and payment terms requiring state remittance within 45 days of invoice receipt with five percent retention of partial payments until final project acceptance.
