Sand Creek Asphalt Design Evaluation

The City of Aurora, Colorado is soliciting proposals from qualified engineering design firms to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the asphalt service road at the Sand Creek Water Reclamation Facility. This Request for Proposals (RFP) seeks a firm to perform a detailed assessment of multiple cracks and damage within the facility's road infrastructure, requiring a multi-phase technical investigation. The project scope includes visual inspection, geotechnical investigation, core sampling, and development of a comprehensive road repair strategy. Proposed deliverables include construction documents, bid-phase support, and construction-phase inspection services. Evaluation criteria will be based on the firm's proposal approach, team experience, qualifications, cost, and overall value proposition, with a total possible score of 100 points. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference on April 25, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams, with proposals due by 4:00 p.m. on May 5, 2025, to be submitted through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. The contract term will be twelve months from the date of award, with automatic termination at the end of the specified period.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The contract will be funded through annual appropriation by the Aurora City Council, with the City reserving the right to terminate the agreement if sufficient funds are not allocated. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project requires a comprehensive understanding of road infrastructure assessment and repair strategies. The total compensation is subject to a fee schedule detailed in Attachment 3 of the agreement, though the specific budget range is not disclosed in the provided documentation. The selected engineering design firm will need to demonstrate significant technical expertise in road condition assessment, geotechnical analysis, and infrastructure repair planning. Potential respondents should be prepared to provide detailed qualifications showcasing their ability to comprehensively evaluate and propose solutions for complex road infrastructure challenges within municipal water reclamation facility environments.
