Sterling Correctional Facility - Access Controls Electronic Security System Repl

The Colorado Department of Corrections is seeking a pre-qualified contractor to replace the access controls and electronic security system at Sterling Correctional Facility in Lincoln County, with the project designated as 2024-013P23 and covering Phases 1 and 2. This procurement is structured as a Design/Bid/Build (D/B/B) contract, with a strict limitation that only pre-approved contractors may submit bids. The project's primary objective is a comprehensive replacement of the facility's existing security infrastructure, focusing on electronic access control systems. Key deliverables will include new electronic security equipment, installation services, and potential system integration work. The bid solicitation was posted on October 25, 2024, with a final proposal due date of December 19, 2024. Potential bidders must carefully review all attachments, including Addendum No. 4 dated December 16, 2024, and acknowledge receipt on the official Bid Form. Contractors must demonstrate competence in correctional facility security system implementation and comply with all specifications outlined in the state's General Conditions document.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, and bidding is exclusively limited to pre-qualified contractors already vetted by the Colorado Department of Corrections. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, the project's complexity and specialized nature suggest a substantial investment in electronic security infrastructure. The contract requires contractors to provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, workers' compensation, and builder's risk insurance. Contractors must also adhere to state accessibility standards, maintain confidentiality of state records, and comply with intellectual property protections. The project will require a competent project manager and potentially a project superintendent, as specified in the contractual documents. Integration with existing correctional facility infrastructure will be a critical component of the project's successful implementation, necessitating technical expertise in electronic security systems specific to correctional environments.
