Residence at Rex Domestic Water Line Replacement

Adams State University in Alamosa County, Colorado is soliciting bids for the Residence at Rex Domestic Water Line Replacement project, a comprehensive infrastructure renovation of a four-story residential apartment building on its campus. The project is structured into three distinct bid packages: Package A (Selective Demo, Architectural and Electrical), Package B (Selective Plumbing Demo and Plumbing/Electrical Renovation), and Package C (Selective Architectural Renovation). The primary scope involves replacing existing PEX domestic water lines, performing selective demolition and renovation of drywall, plumbing, and electrical systems, and replacing ceiling access panels. Bidders must demonstrate specific qualifications, including having completed at least two construction projects over $200,000 in the past three years and showing bonding capability up to $100,000. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for February 27, 2024, at 11:00am, with sealed bids due on March 19, 2024, at 11:00am. The project has anticipated construction start and finish dates of April 1, 2024, and July 26, 2024, respectively, with phased completion dates for each package.

The procurement offers preferences to Colorado resident bidders and Colorado labor, with a requirement to employ Colorado labor for at least 80% of project work. A 5% bid bond is mandatory for construction values of $50,000 or more, and the project is subject to the Buy Clean Colorado (BCCO) Act, which requires Environmental Product Declarations for eligible materials. The project is funded by Adams State University and the State of Colorado, with an estimated construction cost of $350,000. Bidders must comply with state and local building codes, obtain necessary insurance and bonds, and adhere to prevailing wage determinations. The project emphasizes lead-free materials and current plumbing standards, with potential opportunities for Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses. The contract will be awarded using a method that considers deductible or additive alternates, focusing on selecting the lowest responsible bidder while maintaining compliance with state procurement regulations.
