PROJECT DETAILS: CO ER 43(1), Larimer County Road 43
The Government intends to use a competitively bid Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC) with possible Construction Manager (CM) services integrated to perform repairs to Larimer County Road 43 caused by the September, 2013 floods. It is assumed that there will be a base or seed contract (Schedule A), and 3 Task Orders comprised of Option X, CM/GC Services, and Option Y. Schedule A focuses on roadway segments within US Forest Service (USFS) property, which is estimated to be 2.1 miles in length. Task Order 1 (Option X) and Task Order 3(Option Y) includes (8) drainage crossings and the structural section of the entire 10 mile project. Task Order 2 (CM/GC services) would be needed for undefined or incomplete design of the remaining 7.9 miles of roadway, specifically the logistical approach for reconstruction and phasing.
Mile post reference within this report assume Drake as mile post (MP) 0.0, Glen Haven as MP 7.8, and the end of project at West Creek as MP 10.0. No Work is planned for (MP10-MP15): this section of roadway is in good condition and no work is planned at this time.

Major construction scope will include excavation, embankment, roadway cross drainage and armoring within the 2.1 mile segment. Additionally, production of aggregates, fill, and armoring material will initiated during this phase from on-site excavated materials. These materials will be produced for this segment of road, as well as areas outside of the segment and within project boundaries. The preliminary construction estimate for this work is $9-13.0M.
