Weld County Finance Department Purchasing Division is requesting bids for removal and replacement of lighting and lighting control systems at the Weld County North Jail Complex, with bids due August 24, 2026, and a mandatory pre-bid conference on August 6, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at 2110 O Street, Greeley, Colorado. Attendance at the pre-bid conference is required for bid eligibility.

Weld County will grant preference to resident bidders and Colorado suppliers where bids are competitive in price and quality.

The scope covers removal and replacement of existing lighting and lighting control systems as detailed in project drawings at the facility.

All work must comply with federal, state, and local requirements. Davis-Bacon and Buy American requirements do not apply.

Pricing uses a lump-sum method with four bid components: Base Bid (One West and One East Lighting and Controls), Alternate One (Two East Lighting and Controls), and Alternate Two (Two West Lighting and Controls). Weld County will award the base bid and retains sole discretion to add any, all, or none of the alternates. Bids exceeding $50,000 require 100% payment and performance bonds using AIA-A312 forms, with 5% retainage held on all pay requests until final project acceptance. The contractor must provide Workers' Compensation (statutory limits), Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 general aggregate), and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 per accident).

Contract execution is anticipated for September 16, 2026, with construction completion required by February 26, 2027.
