This project will be partially or wholly funded from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

which requires that each contractor report on its ARRA funds under the awarded contract. These
reports will be made available to the public.
This requirement will be solicited and awarded using Design -Build Procedures. It is anticipated that that
the design selection procedures will involve a two phase selection process. Phase 1 will be used to solicit
requests for qualifications that will be evaluated to determine the three highest qualified firms for providing
the design. Phase 2 will require submission from the three highest evaluated firms a second proposal
consisting of demonstration of (1) Preliminary Design, (2) Technical Approach and (3) price. Those three
proposals will be evaluated to determine which offer will provide the best value.
This Solicitation may provide for payment of a "stipend" to the Phase Two offerors not selected
for award.
A pre - proposal conference will be held within a week after selection of the three highest qualified offers
determined at the conclusion of Phase 1. The conference will be held in Durango, CO and the firms
invited to propose in Phase 2 will be notified of the date, time and place by the Contractor. A site visit will
immediately follow the pre - proposal conference. Prospective offerors should make arrangements for
attendance by contacting the Contractor.
