Site work for a civil project in Estes Park, Colorado. Working plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of August 12, 2025, no bids were received. No definite date for the rebid. The objective of this project is to enhance the efficiency, resilience, ease of use, and environmental impact of the power system and water pump system at Hermit Park Open Space (HPOS). Specifically, the goals are to improve system performance, decrease run times, properly size pressure tanks, and minimize negative impacts of power system operation on the environment and patrons (emissions and noise). BACKGROUND: HPOS is currently experiencing inefficiencies and operational challenges with its existing Pavilion power system and water pump system. These are two separate but interconnected systems. The current generator, a PRAMC GEN65J John Deere generator, is oversized, produces excessive noise, and requires frequent power-ups due to inefficiencies with the water pump system. The water pump system lacks proper setup, including undersized pressure tanks, and is in need of some overall improvements to increase efficiencies. Vendors need to bring appropriate safety wear and weather-appropriate clothing as the meeting and site visit walk-thru will be conducted outside in upper elevation terrain.

SCOPE OF WORK: The Contractor at a minimum, will provide, perform, and/or furnish the following: 6.1 Removal of current generator and replacement of any substandard wiring or panels. Supply and installation of a new power system that: A. Powers pavilion for special events with 20 amp single-phase 110v generated power (four 110- volt outlets). B. Powers campground well system. C. Minimizes environmental and human impact. D. Has a 30-hour run time capability for the generator. E. Estimated 40kW power source requirement (subject to change based on proposed system and fuel source). 6.3 Replace and upgrade fuel storage for compliance with environmental safety needs (if required). Replacement of outdated well systems for optimal efficiency, including pressure pump and manual override control box. Desired System Traits: Utilization/incorporation of sustainable energy sources (e.g. solar, battery bank, and generator). Minimization of generator starts and run times. Capable of auto-charging battery bank when low. Ability to run the well system off a battery bank. Usability and simplicity of operation. Provision for three separate means of start and run off the generator: via float switch, pressure tank switch command, and manual control for pavilion events. Addition of power to garage (garage does not currently have power and it is desired that a minimum of one (1) light and one (1) outlet would be included in the scope of work) Requirements: Warranty EPA Tier 4 compliance Level II Sound Attenuating Enclosure Approved spill containment enclosure for fuel source 6.16 Installation, field wiring, engineering, and permits to comply with State, local codes, and Colorado Dept.
