Streets, Sidewalks, Signage, and Retaining Wall Assessments

The City of Central, located in Grand County, Colorado, is seeking proposals from qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive assessment of city-owned infrastructure, specifically targeting streets, sidewalks, traffic signs, and retaining walls. The procurement involves a detailed inventory and condition evaluation of approximately 51.4 lane miles of roadways (5.1 miles unpaved and 46.3 miles paved), with the primary objective of developing a multi-year paving and maintenance plan. Key deliverables include a thorough assessment of pavement quality, drainage conditions, curb alignment, intersection design, ADA sidewalk compliance, traffic sign conditions, and retaining wall structural integrity. The evaluation criteria for selecting a contractor will be comprehensive, with 20% allocated to business and experience, 25% for responsiveness to city needs, 25% for addressing RFP requirements, 10% for reference checks, 15% for pricing, and 5% for geographic location. The RFP was issued on 02/11/2025, with proposals due by 03/11/2025 at 4:00 PM, and an anticipated bid opening scheduled for 03/25/2025.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposers must submit both physical and electronic copies of their proposals, which should include detailed qualifications, experience, references, and pricing information. The city is not seeking the lowest-cost proposal but rather the most comprehensive and beneficial solution, reserving the right to select one or more firms and negotiate the final scope of services. The successful contractor will be expected to provide a comprehensive assessment with a 10-year capital improvement projection, utilizing GIS-capable systems to document and report findings. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the project involves a comprehensive infrastructure assessment across multiple city-owned asset categories. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical expertise in infrastructure assessment, GIS mapping, and the ability to create long-term capital improvement planning documentation.
