Mountain Avenue
On April 4, 2008, the Town Board accepted a proposal from JR Engineering to provide Construction Management Services for the Mountain Avenue Phase 1 Improvements Project. On April 8, 2008, CDOT issued their Concurrence to Advertise for Construction Bids document for Phase 1. Along with the document, they recommended several revisions to the plan and Special Conditions of the Construction Specifications. Town staff has been working with the original Design Engineer, SEH, to make the required revisions.
Plans and Specifications will go out to the printer for copies by the end of this week. The project will be advertized for bids beginning Monday, April 28, 2008. Per Colorado Department of Transportation requirements, the minimum advertisement period is three (3) weeks. Based on this timeline, bid openings will be the week of May 19, 2008.
After bids are returned by Contractors to the Town, the Town will review and select an acceptable proposal. Several CDOT forms need to be provided by the Contractor to the Town with the proposals. These forms will then need to be forwarded to CDOT for acceptance. Upon finding all required forms have been submitted and accepted by CDOT, it will then issue a Concurrence to Award letter to the Town. The Town may then issue a Notice of Award to the Contractor.
After the Notice of Award, the Contractor will be permitted some time, typically ten-days, to execute a contract with the Town agreeing to perform the work. A pre-construction meeting will be set-up with the Town, our JR Engineering Construction Management Team, CDOT, and the Contractor. The start date for the project is estimated to be around June 2, 2008 with an estimated project length of from four to six months duration.
