Routt County Fairgrounds Restroom Renovation

Routt County, Colorado is seeking proposals for a comprehensive restroom renovation project at the Routt County Fairgrounds located at 398 Poplar Street in Hayden. The Request for Proposal (RFP) 849 solicits qualified contractors to renovate approximately 352 square feet of an existing year-round restroom facility, classified as an 'Alteration - Level 1' under the 2021 International Existing Building Code. Bidders must possess an ICC Contractors Certification and provide a "Turnkey" project from Building Permit to final Certificate of Completion. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 1, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. MT, with proposal responses due by May 16, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. MT through the Bidnet platform. The county aims to have a fully executed construction contract by June 6, 2025, with project completion targeted for August 7, 2025, in time for the Routt County Fair on August 8, 2025. The renovation scope includes replacing walls, roof, plumbing fixtures, doors, hardware, metal paneling, and implementing various alternate bid options. Evaluation criteria will likely include contractor qualifications, proposed pricing, project understanding, and ability to meet specified technical specifications and building code requirements.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations, but the county requires contractors to employ at least 80% Colorado labor and prohibits discrimination. The RFP advocates for open and fair competition among suppliers and contractors. While no specific budget is explicitly stated, the contract will include provisions for payment based on labor and materials, with 95% of progress payments made monthly and the remaining 5% held until project completion. Contractors must provide comprehensive proposals including unit prices, references, and qualifications, and demonstrate compliance with local and federal regulations. Insurance and bonding (for contracts over $50,000) will be required, along with strict adherence to Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility standards. The project appears to be part of a larger multi-phase initiative that will eventually include a 5,000 square foot Maintenance Facility. Detailed technical specifications outlined in the bid documents indicate a thorough approach to modernizing the fairgrounds' restroom facilities while maintaining compliance with current building and accessibility standards.
