CTF FCF Grease Interceptor IFB1 TBD CMS210626

The Colorado Department of Corrections is soliciting bids for project EMP26-002, which involves the supply and installation of new grease interceptors to replace an aged system serving the kitchen at the Fremont Correctional Facility. The scope of work includes the removal of existing tanks and the installation of three new 6,000-gallon reinforced concrete tanks, modification of vent lines, and the replacement of stairs and handrails. This project is a Design/Bid/Build contract with an estimated cost of $300,000.00. Because the work is located within a secured prison facility, all personnel must comply with strict Department of Corrections access and security policies, including the submission of consent-to-search authorizations. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, taking into account Colorado resident bidder preferences. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically via BidNet Direct by October 1, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Required submission documents include the official bid form, a bid bond of at least 5% of the total bid, and a direct labor burden calculation. Awarded contractors must provide performance and payment bonds of at least 50% of the contract value and adhere to state prevailing wage requirements. Operational continuity is critical, requiring that any service disruptions be coordinated two weeks in advance and not exceed 24 continuous hours.
