PMAA, SWRS, Coller SWA Rio Grand SWA Woods Lake SWA Toilets

The Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife (CPW), under the Department of Natural Resources, is procuring construction services for the 2016 Vault Toilets project (Project ID C16SW2) in the Southwest Region, spanning Rio Grande County and Denver City jurisdictions. The procurement involves the demolition of an existing double vault toilet at Woods Lake State Wildlife Area and the installation of three single vault toilet facilities at Woods Lake, Coller, and Rio Grande State Wildlife Areas. Deliverables include mobilization to each site, structure demolition and removal, excavation and backfilling, aggregate base course installation, delivery and installation of premanufactured concrete vault toilet buildings with vault holding tanks, accessible parking sign installation, and comprehensive project documentation including as-constructed drawings and permits. The vault systems must meet stringent specifications including a minimum capacity of 1,000 gallons, seven-year leak warranty, ADA compliance, snow load capacity of 250 pounds per square foot, 120 mile-per-hour wind load resistance, and earthquake resistance standards, with all concrete meeting ASTM standards with minimum compressive strength of 2,200 psi at release and 3,500 psi at 28 days. The premanufactured toilet buildings must be supplied by approved manufacturers: Colorado Precast Concrete (Loveland, Colorado), CXT Environmental Concrete Products (Spokane, Washington), or Project Manager-approved equivalents. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was held on March 21, 2016 at 1:00 PM at the CPW Monte Vista office, with bids due on March 25, 2016 at 1:30 PM, and project completion required within 90 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed. Contractors are required to visit all three sites to assess conditions, and site visits are mandatory given that Woods Lake was inaccessible during bidding due to snow but would be accessible by June 15, 2016.

The procurement does not indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or restrictions on organization types eligible to respond. The contract is funded under Fund 4100, Appropriation Code PC002INFP, utilizing Federal Aid Grant funding through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, including Pittman-Robertson Act excise taxes and Dingell-Johnson taxes. Contractors must provide a 5% bid bond (certified check or cashier's check), worker's compensation insurance as required by Colorado law, comprehensive general liability insurance with a minimum of $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit, and comprehensive automobile liability insurance with the same minimum limits; if the contract exceeds $150,000, a Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100% of the estimated contract price is required. The bid schedule contains eight line items with unit prices for lump sum mobilization costs at each location, structure demolition, vault toilet installation, aggregate base course placement measured in cubic yards, and accessible parking sign installation measured per unit, with mobilization payments structured at 50% upon completion of 10% of work and 50% upon equipment removal. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the procurement documents, though the Federal Aid funding source and the comprehensive scope of work suggest a substantial contract value exceeding the $150,000 Performance and Payment Bond threshold.
