SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Zone 3 Weld County Road (WCR) 7 Waterline Improvements project is needed to supply water to the Summerfield development by late 2025 to satisfy the Town’s obligation under the 2013 Summerfield Annexation Agreement. The Summerfield development is located south of Highway 52 and west of WRC 7.
On July 12, 2022, Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with Burns and McDonnell Engineering Company to complete the construction documents for this project. The project has been designed with sufficient capacity to meet:
1. In the interim, adequate water supply for the Summerfield development by late
2025 and;
2. The future water supply demands for the Town’s Erie Gateway properties to the east of WCR 7 as well as other properties if annexed.
This construction contract requires the contractor to implement a full-road way closure (with traffic detours) of WCR 7 from WCR 12 northward to Highway 52 allowing only local traffic to pass through the work zone. Further, the contract requires completion of this pipeline segment by March 31, 2025, and requires completion of the remainder of the project in late October 2025.
Staff posted a request for bids on Bidnet Direct for the Zones 3 Weld County Road 7 Waterline Improvements on July 23, 2024.
Staff held a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on July 31, 2024.
The Town received the following bids on Aug. 23, 2024:
