Town of Basalt 2025 Streets Maintenance Chip Seal Project

The Town of Basalt, located in Colorado, is seeking proposals for the 2025 Streets Maintenance Chip Seal Project, which involves comprehensive street maintenance services across eleven specific streets totaling approximately 50,410 square yards. The procurement will focus on hiring a qualified contractor to perform chip and fog sealing that meets Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) specifications, including traffic control, paint marking management, and final cleanup. Proposals will be evaluated using a weighted scoring system: 80% allocated to fees and schedule, 10% to project approach, and 10% to firm experience. The solicitation was issued on February 13, 2025, with proposals due on March 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM Mountain Time. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for February 25th, and the Town anticipates council action on the contract by March 25, 2025. Proposers must submit a complete electronic proposal package through BidNet, including proof of insurance, specification sheets, a completed bid tab pricing sheet, and an approximate project schedule.

The Request for Proposals does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The Town reserves the right to select the proposal that best meets its needs, considering factors beyond the lowest price. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement indicates a comprehensive approach to street maintenance that suggests potential for future multi-year contracts. The RFP does not specify a precise budget range, but the project scope of 50,410 square yards implies a substantial investment in municipal infrastructure maintenance. Electronic proposal documents will be provided through BidNet and the Town's official website, allowing broad accessibility for potential contractors. The evaluation will prioritize not just cost, but also the contractor's technical approach and demonstrated experience in similar municipal street maintenance projects.
