Truman Bypass Sanitary Sewer

The Town of Bennett, Colorado is seeking proposals for the Truman Bypass Sanitary Sewer Project (RFP #25-007), a critical infrastructure improvement initiative focused on addressing a bottleneck in the existing sanitary sewer system. The project involves constructing approximately 1,571 linear feet of 18-inch PVC sanitary piping and nine 5-foot diameter sanitary manholes along 2nd Street and Truman Avenue in northern Bennett. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including firm qualifications, key personnel resumes, project references, proposed project team, work approach, and a detailed fee schedule. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 17, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at the intersection of 4th Street and Truman Avenue, with proposals due on May 2, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. The Town will evaluate proposals based on qualifications, references, pricing, and the ability to provide quality and timely services, with the right to reject any or all submissions. The selection process will not necessarily favor the lowest-cost proposal but will consider comprehensive merit and capability.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured as a unit price contract with a 10% owner contingency (force account) built into the overall project budget. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the project involves significant infrastructure work including demolition, sanitary sewer installation, erosion control, and pavement restoration. The Town anticipates a bid opening on May 7, 2025, with a formal contract award projected for May 14, 2025. Proposers will need to demonstrate technical expertise in municipal infrastructure projects, particularly in sanitary sewer system construction, and show capability to manage complex civil engineering work within urban environments. The project represents a strategic municipal infrastructure improvement aimed at enhancing the existing sewer system's capacity and performance in the northern section of Bennett.
