Site work for a library in Fort Collins, Colorado. Completed plans call for site work for a library.

Question Acceptance Deadline 04/01/2022 07:00 PM EDT Questions are submitted online No The City of Fort Collins is requesting bids from qualified Vendors for the replacement of the Library Park Irrigation System and Landscaping Improvements work that is being led by the City of Fort Collins Parks Department in partnership with the Poudre River Library District. Based on the 2019 Parks Irrigation Master Plan, the Library Park irrigation system was identified as the site with the highest need for infrastructure replacement out of 46 park sites managed by the Parks Department. The Library District will be contributing 75% of the funding while Parks will be contributing 25% of the funding, based on land ownership. Benefits of this project include implementation of best management practices for water conservation, water savings, improved plant health and decreased maintenance costs. In addition, this will provide an improved level of service to the park users as well as the Library District. The project includes renovation of the entire irrigation system to a new HDPE mainline irrigation system, a new irrigation controller and minor landscaping modifications to better match hydrozones within the park. In addition, the Library District is including landscaping improvements to the entry of the Old Town Library. The largest considerations for the project are tree protection for the existing trees, some of which are over 100 years old; phasing of installation to allow for park and library usage. Scheduling for the majority of the project will need to occur outside of the irrigation season (April 15-Oct 15), however, smaller items could be done during that time period if it does not affect the existing irrigation system.
