Town of Granby North Service Area Water Treatment Plant Plant

The Town of Granby is procuring a comprehensive water treatment infrastructure project located in Gunnison County, Colorado, through a competitive bidding process scheduled to close on December 18, 2024. The primary procurement involves constructing a new 0.65-MGD drinking water treatment facility, including improvements to existing raw and irrigation water pumping systems and approximately 1,400 linear feet of new buried raw water and process residuals pipelines. The project will be bid in two phases, with an initial "Early Work" contract and a subsequent Change Order for remaining project scope. Bidders must submit a "Suspension and Debarment Certification Form" and comply with Davis-Bacon Prevailing Wage Requirements. The project is funded through the Colorado State Revolving Fund (SRF) and classified as a "non-equivalency" project, which exempts certain federal requirements like Build America-Buy America (BABA) regulations. The Owner (Town of Granby) anticipates executing a Notice of Award within 100 days of bid opening, by March 28, 2025.

The procurement appears open to all qualified contractors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the available documentation. The Engineer's initial construction contract estimate is $3.4 million, with a total estimated construction contract value of $27.5 million. Bidders will need to coordinate temporary and permanent power requirements with Mountain Parks Electric, Inc. (MPEI) and accommodate potential public access to an existing RV dump station during limited construction periods. A notable project feature is the inclusion of a new Bid Alternate No. 2 that provides flexibility for RV dump station access. Contractors will need specialized expertise in municipal water treatment infrastructure, pipeline installation, and compliance with state and federal water treatment regulations. The project presents a significant opportunity for construction firms with experience in large-scale water infrastructure development and the ability to manage complex, phased municipal utility projects.
