The City of Aurora is seeking proposals for Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) services for the Paul Tauer Council Chambers accessibility improvements project. The project involves renovations to the council chamber, including ramps, floor raising, and dais rebuilding. The process is phased, with an initial proposal submission deadline of August 13, 2026. A preproposal conference is scheduled for August 5, 2026. Proposals must be submitted electronically through BidNet. The estimated project cost is between $1. 03 million and $1. 56 million, with construction anticipated to begin in January 2027. The selected contractor will partner with the design team, providing input on schedule, constructability, cost estimates, and value engineering during the predesign phase.
Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Rocky Mountain e-Purchasing System (BidNet) no later than 3:00 PM, local time, on August 13, 2026.
The RFP mentions a warranty process as part of the quality control approach, but specific terms are not detailed in the provided text.
The contract will be awarded through a multiphased process to the highest ranked CMGC contractor based on evaluation criteria in Phase 1 (project management approach, proposed team, experience) and Phase 2 (project management approach, proposed team, preconstruction service cost, interview).
Proposals will only be considered from firms firmly established in providing CMGC services, who are financially responsible, and have the resources and ability to perform the required services professionally.
Failure to comply with the mandatory Colorado labor requirement may result in penalties of not more than $500 and/or imprisonment for up to one year. Failure to obtain addenda may lead to proposal disqualification.
A preproposal conference is scheduled for August 5, 2026, at 2:30 PM, at the Aurora Municipal Center. Attendees are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early.
Written questions are due by August 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM.
Proposals may be rejected if they are late, incomplete, illegible, or if the proposer fails to obtain and acknowledge addenda. Failure to comply with certain requirements, such as the Colorado labor mandate or SBE program, can also lead to disqualification.
The project cost estimate is $1. 03 million to $1. 56 million.
