Colorado Mountain College’s Leadville Campus located at 901 South Hwy 24, Leadville, CO, in partnership with Get Outdoors Leadville! (“GOL!”) is requesting quotes from qualified general contracting firms to construct a ~2500 square foot addition to its existing Climax Building (size of current facility is 14,900sf). This addition will house the programmatic needs for the GOL! community gear library and hub as shown in the 100% Design Development drawings.
A short list of firms will be selected to hard bid the project based on their written proposals showing experience on projects of similar size and scope (Step 1). A review of the design development drawings will be required by interested firms in which they will demonstrate in the proposal, their ability to estimate the project costs and schedule. The short-listed general contractors will then be required to provide a hard bid and schedule based on the 100% construction documents, which will be released on May 25, 2018 (Step 2). A Selection Committee comprised of individuals who will be involved in the project and/or understand the required services will evaluate responses to this RFP for both steps. Colorado Mountain College reserves the right to compare bids, as well as schedules and references in the selection process.

1. Providing equipment for a range of outdoor activities - mountain biking, nordic skiing, hiking, and camping.
2. Teaching workshops to build community members’ skills and comfort outdoors including outdoor leadership trainings, bike maintenance 101, Leave No Trace, backcountry cooking, and more!
3. Facilitating outdoor programming for local youth and families.
