REQUEST FOR BIDS (RFB) FOR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

INTRODUCTION

Ouray County (Owner) is requesting sealed bids from qualified construction contractors for

the Corbett Creek Crossing Improvements Project, located north of the City of Ouray on

County Road (CR) 17 near Whispering Pines Drive and Highway 550. The scope includes

furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete the

construction of a 20'x10' box culvert bridge, including associated site work and erosion

control measures.

The selected contractor must demonstrate experience in bridge construction, compliance

with CDOT and FHWA standards, and ability to meet project timelines and specifications.

The procurement will follow a competitive sealed bid process in accordance with

applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY

The project aims to mitigate natural hazards by installing a 20'x10' box culvert bridge on CR

17 over Corbett Creek. Per CDOT and FHWA guidelines, a structure with a clear span of 20

feet or more qualifies as a bridge. The new structure will improve flow capacity, reduce

flood risk, and enhance emergency evacuation routes from the City of Ouray when US 550

is closed. It will also provide reliable access for residents and the traveling public.

The bridge will reduce recurring washouts and lower maintenance costs for the County

Road and Bridge Department. Ouray County received a FEMA Pre-Disaster Mitigation (PDM)

Grant in August 2024 to support this project. Upon completion, the County will assume

responsibility for long-term maintenance. The bridge will be subject to biennial inspections

under CDOT’s system bridge inspection program.
