Piggyback Contract

Description

The Town of Paonia, Colorado (Town) is soliciting proposals from licensed contractors interested, experienced, and knowledgeable in providing brush clearing and site preparation on rugged mountain terrain on the side of Mount Lamborn. Brush clearing is needed prior to conducting geophysical survey work in support of the Town of Paonia Water System and must adhere to the limitations defined by National Forest Service permitting (by others). Site preparation generally includes traversing linear paths and trimming brush in five (5) locations under the following conditions:

Minor hand-cutting with the use of chainsaws.
Motorized heavy machinery will not be used.
No Spruces, Pines or Aspens will be cut.
No vegetation (trees) greater than a diameter at breast height (DBH) of four inches will be cut.

Approximately 2-7 feet high vegetation must be cleared to ground level (i.e., ankle height) in paths 3 to 4 feet wide. Proposed linear pathways are roughly between 175 to 540 feet long. Work will be performed under supervision by Town staff and its representatives. All work areas are within the boundaries of source water collection for the Town of Paonia and/or on federal lands. All work must be completed without risk of pollution from hazardous liquids or solids. Wright Water Engineers will be onsite to sign off and approve of brush clearing activities to ensure work satisfies the intent and need of their subsequent geophysical study efforts. The attached figures depict the approximate length of pathways in each of the five (5) project locations.

Site Access: Contractor will need to provide its own access to each site. Access is rugged and best accessed using Off-Road Side-by-Sides and then by foot to each project location.

Project Schedule: Each location is expected to take 1-3 days depending on workforce allocation. The entirety of the work must be completed within 10 working days. Seasonal weather impacts may require completion of work in the Spring of 2025. If postponed until Spring 2025, work must be completed within a two-week period between March 1, 2025 and May 31, 2025 as soon as weather permits. Pricing Spring 2025 must be included in the contractor’s proposal.

Other: Contractor must provide its own personal protective equipment (PPE) and must comply with all applicable work safety rules and regulations. A tailgate safety meeting will be required each morning prior to commencing work.

The Town will not be bound or responsible for any explanations or interpretations other than those given in writing as set forth in this Request for Proposals (RFP). No oral interpretations will be made by the Town to any firm as to the requirements of this RFP.

Emailed PDF proposals titled in the subject as, “PROPOSAL FOR SITE PREPARATION BRUSH CLEARING,” will be accepted on or before 4:00 PM (MT) WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2024 (Deadline), at the email address below. Proposals tendered after the deadline will be rejected.
