The City of Fort Collins is requesting bids from qualified Vendors for the Center Avenue Bike Lane
Barrier Project. The project is intended to separate and protect bicyclists and pedestrians by
narrowing lanes or implementing a road diet. The proposed demonstration will test the
effectiveness of temporary protection along Centre Avenue, from Worthington Circle to Bay Drive,
using flexible posts and curbing. The goal is to evaluate the impact of these changes on
multimodal usage, vehicular speeds, and public perception in the corridor.
The Centre Avenue Corridor is an ideal location for this test, as it has already been restriped
with buffered bike lanes, which can accommodate bolt-down curbing and delineators. This
project will focus on testing the effectiveness of vertical separators, which could inform future
City initiatives.
The City intends to purchase three hundred (300) raised channelizing curbs, three hundred
(300) attachable delineators, and all necessary hardware for the Centre Ave Lane Barrier
project in accordance with Section H Specifications. The installation of the curbing and
delineators will be completed by the City of Fort Collins. Centre Avenue has varying asphalt
thicknesses through this area of 8”-10”, all required hardware will need to be adequate to
accommodate this varying thickness of asphalt. Please reference Attachments B & C for a map
of the area of work as well as site photos. All materials need to be delivered by March 31, 2025.
The selected Vendor must provide a minimum 2-year material and workmanship warranty.
All items should be shipped to 625 9th St., Fort Collins, CO 80524 (City of Fort Collins Streets
Department) during the working hours of 7 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Please
notify the City representative at least (48) hours in advance of any deliveries. The City of Fort
Collins can assist with unloading and storing the materials as long as proper notice is given.
The Agreement will be subject to federal procurement regulations and all work under this
Agreement shall comply with Section F. Appendix II: Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity
Contracts Under Federal Awards.
