Description
The State of Colorado is seeking a qualified contractor to fully modernize four elevators (three gear‑less passenger elevators and one geared freight/service elevator) in the Capitol Annex Building at 1375 Sherman St., Denver. The work includes design, engineering, fabrication, installation, testing, commissioning, and a full preventive‑maintenance service through the warranty period. The building will remain occupied, so work must be phased to maintain elevator service and minimize tenant disruption. The contract value is estimated at $2.23 M; bidders must provide a bid bond (≥5 % of the bid) and performance/payment bonds (≥50 % of contract value). Colorado labor requirements (≥80 % Colorado‑resident workers) and apprenticeship participation are mandatory. The schedule is tight: pre‑bid conference 5 Aug 2026, questions due 14 Aug 2026, bid submission 27 Aug 2026 (11:00 am MT), bid opening 27 Aug 2026 (11:10 am MT), construction start 1 Sep 2026, and final completion 15 Jun 2027. • Full elevator modernization (hardware, controls, doors, pit, wiring). • Compliance with ASME A17.1‑2022 and state GWP limits (Buy Clean Colorado). • Required documentation: bonding, prevailing‑wage certifications, apprenticeship certifications, environmental product declarations. • Mandatory pre‑bid meeting/site tour on 5 Aug 2026. • All work must be performed by contractors meeting minimum experience (≥2 similar projects >$1.5 M) and bonding capacity.
