Reference Number 0000354404 The City of Fort Collins is requesting bids from qualified Bridge Design & Manufacturers for the design, fabrication, and delivery of a pedestrian bridge made of welded self-weathering steel, with a concrete deck (which will be installed separately). The pedestrian bridge is part of the City's Poudre River Trail construction project. The selected Bridge Design & Manufacturer is required to provide digital files containing design calculations and detailed shop drawings to the City. The shop drawings must undergo review and approval by the City before fabrication of the bridge commences. The pedestrian bridge must comply with all current ADA requirements. The Bridge Design & Manufacturer will need to provide design calculations and shop drawings to bear the endorsement seal of a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Colorado, who is accountable for the bridge design. This ensures that the structural integrity and safety of the bridge meets the required standards. Plan layout and dimensions have been provided in Exhibit A - Draft Plan Set Poudre River Trail Concepts Structure Plans, along with applicable design criteria for the abutment design. This information is provided for the Bridge Design & Manufacturer to appropriately design and size the structure; however, the Bridge Design & Manufacturer shall provide applicable design criteria, specifications, and other details to ensure the ultimate safety and satisfactory performance of the structure. The delivery location is to be in the area depicted in Exhibit B - Pedestrian Bridge Location Map. Upon delivery of the bridge, the City's Contractor responsible for the Poudre River Trail construction project engaged under a separate contract will be tasked with off-loading the bridge. The Bridge Design & Manufacturer will provide a qualified representative on-site to oversee the off-loading and provide technical guidance for the off-load process as reasonably necessary. This division of responsibilities ensures a clear delineation of tasks and accountability. The funding for the bridge is derived from a combination of sources, including a Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) grant and City of Fort Collins' Conservation Trust Funds. Under a separate contract, the Poudre River Trail project will construct an extension from Ridgen Reservoir to Colorado State University's Environmental Learning Center. The procurement process for the bridge design and fabrication will be handled independently from the construction contract for the trail. Once the bridge is acquired, a City hired Contractor will be responsible for installing it. During installation, the Contractor will adhere to the specifications and requirements provided by the selected Bridge Design & Manufacturer.
