General Statement of Work:

The City and County of Denver (City) is soliciting proposals from qualified interested firms to provide Construction Management/General Contractor (CM/GC) services for the Sanitary Lift Station #5 Project. The primary goal of this project is to replace the oldest existing operating lift station in the City and County of Denver. The site is located at 5125 N. Franklin Street, Denver, 80216. The work involves bypass pumping sanitary flows throughout the project duration, demolition of the existing structures, excavation for new wet well, groundwater dewatering/remediation, and construction of new structures. The work also includes installation of new mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and controls. Due to site constraints, staging and material lay down will need to be offsite.

Workforce Requirements

This CM/GC project is subject to the requirements of Article XI, of Chapter 28 of the Denver Revised Municipal Code (the “Workforce Ordinance”) and its implementing rules and regulations. The goal of the Workforce Ordinance is to increase the availability of a skilled construction workforce by increasing the availability of apprenticeships and other approved training programs and requiring the utilization of workers living in economically disadvantaged areas and workers experiencing economic disadvantage on large city construction projects.
