Rehabilitate taxiways C and D

The Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority is seeking bids for a comprehensive airport infrastructure rehabilitation project at Centennial Airport in Colorado, involving six distinct schedules of work. The project encompasses federal and non-federal rehabilitation of Taxiways C and D, construction of Taxiway S3, electrical rehabilitation of Taxiway D, reconstruction of Taxilane C2, and potential 2025 mobilization/remobilization. Key deliverables include extensive pavement work such as cold milling, crack repair, full-depth pavement removal, asphalt course placement, joint sealing, and pavement marking, along with drainage improvements, erosion control, electrical infrastructure upgrades, lighting installations, and landscape restoration. The procurement is funded through Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants, specifically AIP No. 3-08-0029-060-2024 (BIL) and 061-2024. A mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit occurred on March 13, 2024, with sealed bids due on March 29, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Bidders must submit a bid bond or certified check for 5% of the total bid amount and are required to bid on all items in all schedules.

The contract includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 5.56% and incorporates several federal requirements such as Davis-Bacon wage rates and Buy American provisions. Bidders must adhere to equal employment opportunity standards and comply with specific technical requirements for materials like P-154 subbase and P-401 asphalt courses. While the exact contract value is not specified, the project involves multiple funding streams across federal fiscal years 2024-2026, suggesting a significant infrastructure investment. The Airport Authority will award the contract to the lowest qualified and responsive bidder on the federally eligible schedules, with the potential to award whichever combination of schedules funding permits. Notably, the contract is not guaranteed to include all schedules, and contractors must be prepared for phased construction with specific calendar day allocations for each project phase. Quality assurance and quality control testing will be conducted, with Ninety & Moore identified as the QA testing firm, and contractors are explicitly prohibited from using this firm for their own QC testing.
