Bids for this project were solicited from pre - qualified general contractors. Only one bid was
submitted, that from H.W. Houston Construction Co., of Pueblo, Colorado. Upon examination of the
bid by the Engineer, it was found to be a responsible bid. The Committee of Awards, consisting of
the City Manager, the Director of Public Works and the HARP coordinator therefore recommends that
the bid be awarded to H.W. Construction Co..
A tabulation of the contractor's bid is attached.
In addition to the contract amount of $2,978,806.00, the City will have to spend approximately
$143,000.00 for lighting fixtures which are not in the contract, and reserve approximately
$149,000.00, or 5% of the construction amount, for unforseen contingencies.
Funds to pay for this project will come from the HARP Bond proceeds (approximately $1,324,848.00
available), Grants ($1,175,00.00) and HARP Foundation commitment of approximately $986,000.00.
A spread sheet showing available funds and estimated expenditures through the nine (9) month
project is attached. It should be noted that the City may be required to provide interim financing at
the end of the project until HARP Foundation commitments are realized.
