Repave Parking Lots: Buildings 959, 849, and 957

The Colorado Community College System (CCCS) is seeking bids for a Design/Bid/Build project to repave parking lots at Buildings 959, 849, and 967 on the Lowry Campus in Denver. The project involves comprehensive parking lot infrastructure renovation, including removal of existing concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, and asphalt surfaces, followed by installation of new parking lot components. Key deliverables include adjusting water valve heights, laying aggregate base course, applying new asphalt, pouring new gutter and curb sections, and implementing traffic markings and control. Bidders must demonstrate significant contracting experience, specifically having completed at least two general contracting projects over $450,000 in the past three years, and provide evidence of bonding capability. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 30th, 2025, at 10:00 am, with sealed bids due on May 14th, 2025, at 10:00 am. The project has a total estimated construction cost of $440,247.00 and a projected completion timeline of 105 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with an anticipated contract approval date of June 1st, 2025.

The contract includes several important provisions and restrictions, including preference for Colorado resident bidders and compliance with the Buy Clean Colorado (BCCO) Act, which requires Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for eligible materials with specified global warming potential limits. A bid bond of at least 5% of the total bid is mandatory for construction values of $50,000 or more. The project requires contractors to comply with Colorado labor requirements, mandating that at least 80% of labor be from Colorado residents. Bidders are expected to submit electronic bids through BidNet Direct, with alternative physical submission options available. The project is funded through state appropriations and will be awarded using a lowest responsible bidder method, considering base bid and potential deductive or additive alternates. Contractors must also adhere to prevailing wage rates, apprenticeship utilization guidelines, and provide reporting on embodied carbon emissions. The total project budget is set at $440,247.00, with potential for additional funding through alternate bid options.
