Westlands Park Water Feature Reconstruction

The City of Greenwood Village, located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, is seeking bids for the Westlands Park Water Feature Reconstruction project through a Request for Bids (RFB) scheduled for submission by July 18, 2025, at 10:00 am. The comprehensive project involves complete reconstruction of an existing park water feature, encompassing multiple technical domains including plumbing, electrical systems, structural and decorative concrete work, and landscaping. Contractors must provide a detailed project schedule, proposed Method for Handling Traffic (MHT), a complete subcontractor list, and contact information. Bidders are required to submit a 5% bid bond or certified/cashier's check, along with a comprehensive bid package featuring a bid form, bid schedule, project team information, and three references from similar projects completed within the last five years. Key deliverables include 1,184 square feet of colored concrete splash pad, 337 square feet of sandstone pavers, 13 seat boulders, 32 ornamental grasses, 650 linear feet of 4-inch supply piping, and various nozzle and valve assemblies. The project evaluation will focus on selecting the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with consideration given to past experience, qualifications, and long-range costs. Construction is planned for fall 2025 through spring 2026, with a specific requirement that work must commence after September 7, 2025, to accommodate a planned park event.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project will require a specialized water feature contractor with extensive experience in mechanical systems, capable of installing PVC and HDPE piping, pumps, control panels, and nozzles. While no specific budget is listed in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the project—involving complete mechanical room renovations, pump replacements, new control panels, chemical treatment systems, and extensive landscaping—suggests a substantial capital investment. The project will involve replacing existing infrastructure, including pumps, sand media filters, spray nozzles, and electrical systems, with modern equivalents from manufacturers like Accu Tab and Amiad. The bid includes a base bid and an alternate bid for mechanical system renovations, indicating potential flexibility in project scope. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in water feature construction, municipal park infrastructure, and ability to work closely with the City of Greenwood Village's project representatives while adhering to national electrical and local construction codes.
