Pre-Fab Building - Ralston Water Treatment Plant

The City of Arvada, located in Jefferson County, Colorado, is seeking proposals for a pre-fabricated metal building project at the Ralston Water Treatment Plant through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement involves comprehensive design, material supply, and construction of a 60-foot by 40-foot prefabricated metal building intended to serve as a storage and maintenance facility for heavy equipment. Key deliverables include a building with R-19 wall and R-30 roof insulation, two automatic roll-up doors, one man door with access control, electrical outlets, LED lighting, and mechanical systems capable of maintaining a 60°F interior temperature. The project requires a complete design and construction approach, including foundation work based on a geotechnical investigation, with the contractor responsible for all design, testing, and construction aspects. Critical procurement dates include a mandatory pre-proposal meeting on 05/07/2025 at 9:00 AM MT, questions due by 05/13/2025 at 2:00 PM MDT, and proposal submissions due electronically through BidNetDirect.com by 05/28/2025 at 2:00 PM MDT. The contract will be awarded using a best value evaluation methodology, considering factors such as firm capabilities, project approach, design, installation plan, schedule, safety plan, and total cost.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the RFP requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability. Respondents will need to demonstrate significant technical capabilities in prefabricated metal building design and construction, with a focus on heavy equipment storage facilities. The project involves integration with an existing water treatment plant infrastructure, necessitating careful coordination and technical expertise. Although a specific budget range was not disclosed, the complexity of the project—involving geotechnical investigation, custom building design, specialized mechanical and electrical systems, and comprehensive construction services—suggests a substantial investment. Potential bidders should be prepared to provide detailed documentation of their technical qualifications, previous similar project experiences, and comprehensive safety and implementation strategies to be competitive in the evaluation process.
