About this opportunity
The City of Fort Collins, in partnership with Larimer County, is requesting sealed bids for the reconstruction and improvement of Taft Hill Road between Horsetooth and Harmony Roads under Invitation to Bid 10335, with bids due October 29, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. MT. Bidders must be prequalified with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), a critical eligibility gate.
The scope includes roadway widening and reconfiguration to a modified arterial cross section per Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS); intersection improvements at West Horsetooth and Harmony with traffic signal modifications; bicycle lanes and pedestrian sidewalks; stormwater and drainage improvements including storm sewer installation and water quality facilities; curb and gutter construction; and signing, striping, landscaping, and irrigation work. The project addresses a regionally significant 2-lane corridor designated for 4-lane development, integrating active transportation infrastructure and regional connectivity to Horsetooth Reservoir.
Contract performance requires substantial completion within 140 working days from Notice to Proceed and final completion within an additional 20 working days, with liquidated damages of $4,500 per calendar day for delays. The contractor shall maintain a minimum of one travel lane in each direction during construction and coordinate with multiple utility providers. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on base bid pricing.
The project is funded through federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds administered by CDOT and local contributions from Fort Collins and Larimer County. All work must comply with CDOT specifications, Build America Buy America (BABA) requirements, and Davis-Bacon wage rates. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to five percent of the total bid amount, performance and payment bonds, and certificates of insurance (general liability and automobile liability minimum $1,000,000 each; workers' compensation per Colorado statutory limits). A pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. MT, with questions due October 20 at 3:00 p.m. MT. Five percent retainage will be withheld from progress payments until substantial completion.
Opportunity text
The Contract Documents provide for the construction of Invitation to Bid 10335 Taft Hill Road - Horsetooth to Harmony Improvements.
Taft Hill Road is a Regionally Significant Corridor and designated 4-lane arterial that currently operates as a 2-lane road with significant congestion and elevated accident rates between Horsetooth Road and Harmony Road. The City of Fort Collins is partnering with Larimer County to reconstruct this segment to LCUASS standards, addressing safety and capacity needs on the corridor. The project will connect surrounding neighborhoods to schools, parks, and the City's bike and trail network, while also improving regional access to Horsetooth Reservoir, a major recreational draw. New active transportation infrastructure and a reconfigured cross section will allow the corridor to safely serve multimodal travel for both local and regional trips. Key benefits include completed bicycle and pedestrian facilities, reduced accidents and improved air quality on this MPO-designated corridor, and congestion relief with intersection improvements at Taft Hill/Harmony.
