Bayfield Shared Use Path Improvements Project
Separate sealed BIDS for the construction of the Bayfield Shared Use Path Improvements Project will be received at Bayfield Town Hall, 1199 Bayfield Parkway, Bayfield, CO 81122. until 2:00pm (Town’s Clock), on March 25, 2024, at which time they will be publicly opened and read aloud.

This project removes existing 10 ft wide x 4475 ft. long asphalt surfaced shared use path and replaces it with new 10 ft wide x 6” thick concrete surfacing and detectable warnings. Project includes stormwater management, erosion control, and traffic control.
Traffic control will be the responsibility of the contractor. Traffic control plans will be required for submittal and approval. The contractor will be required to submit a phasing plan and work with the Town and the Owner’s Representative (OR) to determine a plan with the least impact to businesses in the project area. Access to businesses shall remain open for the duration of the project. Public Notification will be handled by the Town of Bayfield, but the awarded contractor should expect to be present in meetings with business owners to communicate the phasing plan prior to beginning work and shall meet weekly to update the OR of the proposed work for that week.
Contractor shall be responsible to obtain and manage a Stormwater Permit for Construction Related Discharges through Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
