Town Hall Apartment Re-Conversion and Building Systems Improvements

The Town of Minturn, located in Colorado's Gilpin County, is seeking proposals from qualified Design-Build teams for a comprehensive Town Hall Apartment Re-Conversion and Building Systems Improvements project. The procurement solicits licensed architect/engineer and contractor teams to convert a portion of the municipal building back into a two-bedroom apartment while simultaneously upgrading electrical and HVAC systems in existing office and storage spaces. Key deliverables include selective demolition, reconstruction, and installation of new mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems that meet current building codes and community standards. The evaluation criteria for this project are weighted across several dimensions: understanding of the project (20%), experience with similar projects (20%), cost proposal (20%), schedule and capacity (15%), project team qualifications (20%), and references (5%). Proposals are due on October 31st, 2025, at 4:00 P.M. MST, with an optional site visit available before October 24th, 2025. The project is scheduled to begin in December 2025/January 2026, with substantial completion expected by March 2026.

The Request for Proposals does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. However, there is a notable incentive for local businesses, with a potential bonus of 5 points awarded to firms headquartered or maintaining a permanent office in Eagle County, Colorado. Proposers are required to submit an electronic PDF proposal via email, which must include a cover letter, project approach, schedule, detailed cost proposal with line-item breakout, documentation of experience with three similar projects, references, and proof of licenses and insurance. While a specific budget range is not disclosed in the provided documentation, the town has scanned copies of original building plans available upon request. The contract will be based on a standard AIA-based form and will be subject to local, state, and federal codes for residential use in a municipal building. Proposers should anticipate a comprehensive review process that evaluates not only cost but also technical competence, local expertise, and project understanding.
