PMAA, SELA, Martin Beach Change Room RLA502

Colorado Parks and Wildlife, operating under the Department of Natural Resources and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife, is procuring construction services for the Martin Beach Changing Room project (RLA502) located at Lathrop State Park, three miles west of Walsenburg on U.S. Highway 160 in Kit Carson County. The procurement involves furnishing and installing a complete changing room facility, including a 24-foot by 16-foot Polygon hip roof style shelter with standing seam metal roofing, structural insulated panel walls, two skylights, concrete foundations and flatwork (560 square feet of 5-inch concrete paving), two 6-foot surface-mount benches, interior coat hooks, ADA-compliant braille signage for separate men's and women's changing areas, exterior stucco and interior paint finishes, and associated site work encompassing concrete walkways, grading, and landscape restoration through seeding and mulching. Contractors must verify all on-site utilities, protect existing vegetation, ensure soil compaction meets 95 percent of maximum dry density per ASTM D 698 Standard Proctor beneath structures, maintain complete plan sets at the job site, and comply with OSHA and all state and local health and safety codes. The project contract term is 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with work hours limited to 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM or as approved by the Park Manager. The bid deadline is October 16, 2014, at 1:00 PM, with submission via fax, email, or hand delivery to the Southeast Regional Office in Colorado Springs. Written questions must be submitted by October 14, 2014, at 10:00 AM. No mandatory pre-bid meeting is required, though contractors are responsible for site familiarity. Liquidated damages are assessed at $150 per day for work not completed within the contract timeframe.

The bid documents do not indicate set-aside designations or restrictions specific to disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement materials. The contract is funded entirely by state appropriations with no federal funding, therefore the Davis-Bacon Wage law does not apply. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, commercial general liability with $1,000,000 limits, and automobile liability with $1,000,000 combined single limits, with the State named as additional insured. Performance and payment bonds are not required for this contract. Colorado Parks and Wildlife is exempt from paying sales tax, and contractors must obtain exemption certificates from the Department of Revenue. While no specific award value is stated in the procurement documents, the performance and payment bond waiver indicates the contract value is under $100,000. Payment is made on a lump-sum and unit-price basis as indicated in the Bid Schedule, with 10 percent retainage applied to partial payments until project completion and no advanced payment permitted for mobilization.
