The successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds each equal to one hundred percent of the contract amount from surety companies authorized to conduct business in Colorado.

The contractor is responsible for all permits, licenses, inspections, and compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including OSHA requirements. A preconstruction conference is required before work begins, at which time the contractor shall present a detailed construction schedule for City approval. Time of completion is of the essence to the contract, and liquidated damages will be assessed at the daily rate specified in the Special Conditions if work is not completed within the allowed timeframe. The City will award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder whose work best serves the City's interests. Contract execution and bond/insurance documentation are required within fifteen days of notice of award. An addendum is posted September 17, 2026.
