May 22, 2025: Due to the large file size of Attachment 7 - Drawings 5 of 7 Elec, the file was not able to be opened by some contractors. To resolve this issue, this attachment has been reduced in size and separated into two files. They are now uploaded in the Attachment/Links as "Reduced_ Attach 7a- Drawings 5 of 7 Elec" and "Reduced_Attach 7b - Drawings 5 of 7 Elec". Please use these two reduced files (Reduced _Attach 7a and Reduced_Attach 7b) instead of the initial Attach 7 -Drawings 5 of 7 Elec.

Also, Attachment 12 - A and E Report BCWC has been reduced in size so that it may be opened without issues. This is still one attachment; however, it has been reduced in file size. It has also been uploaded to the Attachment/Links and can be found as "Reduced_Attach 12 - A and E Report BCWC". Please use this document instead of the initial document, Attach 12 - A and E Report BCWC. All information remained the same in the reduced attachments.

(Due to file size, the Drawings have been included as Attachments 3 - 9 and the Specifications as Attachments 10a -10 i).

An asset of the Pike-San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands (PSICC) South Platte Ranger District (RD), the Buffalo Creek Work Center was built in 1938 by the Works Projects Administration and is located at 18046 County Road 126, Buffalo Creek, CO 80425. The Work Center of roughly 3½ acres hosts several structures, including, but not limited to, the Office, Garage/Shop, and Dwelling constructed in 1938, and the Barracks and Engine Storage constructed in 2002, as well as several other miscellaneous structures and utility features.

Like many historical buildings of this age, the office is very inefficient in terms of energy consumption and space utilization. Under this contract new office space and an additional engine bay space will be constructed as an addition to the existing Engine Storage building.

Work in the base items includes mobilization; quality control; construction staking and layout; construction of site utilities for water, sewer, natural gas, power and telecommunications; final site grading; parking area construction; demolition of existing site features and utilities; and foundation, building, and mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems construction.

Incidental work includes submittals for quality control; submittals for safety and accident prevention; coordination with local utility companies; submittals for products and shop drawings; the construction schedule; construction waste management; operation and maintenance manuals, as well as system demonstration and training.
