The base bid consists of four line items: mobilization (lump sum), removal and replacement of 2,580 square feet of asphalt, import and placement of 50 tons of aggregate base course, and two compaction test site visits, with three optional bid items for additional asphalt and base work if budget allows. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on July 22, 2016, at Trinidad Lake State Park, with written questions due by 10:00 AM on July 27, 2016, directed to Project Manager Eric Stahnke. Bids were due by 1:00 PM on August 2, 2016, submitted to the CPW Southeast Regional Office in Colorado Springs via fax or email, with Notice of Award intended the same day to the lowest responsible bidder. The contractor must complete all work within 45 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with construction commencing no earlier than September 6, 2016, and all work completed by the end of 2016. All work must conform to the Colorado Department of Transportation 2011 Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridge Construction, and contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 combined single limits, automobile liability insurance of $1,000,000, and workers' compensation coverage as required by state statute.

Contractors may self-identify as minority-owned, women-owned, small businesses, CDOT Emerging Small Businesses, Disadvantaged Small Businesses, Veteran-Owned businesses, or 8(a) designated enterprises through the W-9 certification form, though no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting competition to disadvantaged enterprises are indicated in the bid documents.

The state is exempt from Colorado sales tax, and contractors must obtain exemption certificates for all materials and supplies; water is available from a hose bib at the park, and contractors may use park restrooms. No incumbent contractor or existing infrastructure integration requirements are identified in the solicitation documents. The specific contract budget or award value is not disclosed in the available bid documents, though the project scope and optional bid items suggest a moderate-sized contract; the state retained the right to award based on whether the lowest bid falls within the project budget.
