Bid Proposal
Bid #5878
Pedestrian Bridge and Abutments
Attachment
The plan sheet for this project states that the window of construction is November 1,
2004 through April 1, 2005, as approved by Northern Colorado Water Conservancy
District. On page 3 of the Bid Proposal it states that the construction could start as early
as November 1, 2004 and must be completed by November 30, 2004. The completion
date of November 30'" is impossible to meet for the following reasons:
1) The bridge manufacturers have a lead-time of a minimum of 2 — 3
weeks for shop drawings, depending on the manufacturer. The
manufacturer that we have used states on their quote that it will
take them 2 — 3 weeks for the shop drawings. Therefore the
statement pertaining to the submittal requirement statement on
page 4 under the Bidding Requirements cannot be met.
2) We are assuming that the City of Ft. Collins will need at least one
week to review and approve the shop drawings.
3) Per the bridge manufacturers quotes once the shop drawings
have been approved it will take 4 —14 weeks to manufacturer,
depending on the manufacturer.. The manufacturer that we have
used states on their quote that it will take them 4 — 6 weeks for the
bridge to be manufactured.
If you add up the above listed time frames for the bridge shop drawings, approval of
shop drawings and manufacture of the bridge we are looking at 7 — 18 weeks lead-time,
depending on the manufacturer, just for the pedestrian bridge portion of the project.
Mountain Constructors, Inc. estimates it would take approximately 10 weeks for the
previously listed process based on the supplier quotes that we used for our proposal.
Admittedly other work can be completed during the manufacturing of the pedestrian
bridge but there will be work that cannot be completed until the bridge is installed.
Assuming that everything proceeds as planned, realistically the project could be
completed before Christmas 2004. Our bid proposal is based on a completion date of
Christmas 2004.
