38th West Improvements
What this bid is
The City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado is asking experienced civil contractors to submit Statements of Qualifications for its 38th West Improvements project, solicitation 26-53. The City wants to pick a qualified contractor before final design is finished, so construction can start once the construction documents are complete and the City issues a Notice to Proceed. The contractor would also help the design consultant with value engineering during the 60% to 100% design phase. Trades listed include heavy construction, curb and gutter, highway and road, sidewalk and driveway, street work, and utility or underground projects.
A mandatory pre-proposal conference is set for 1 December 2026 at 11:00 AM MST, held on Microsoft Teams. The notice says a bid from anyone who did not attend is usually rejected unopened, so attendance matters. Questions are due 15 December 2026 at 2:00 PM MST. Responses are due 5 January 2027 at 2:00 PM MST.
Responses are submitted electronically through the City's OpenGov portal, and a free vendor account is required to upload one. The full solicitation, addenda and question thread are on that portal. The City uses a best value model and will decide which proposer to appoint.
