No tree removal/relocation is to be included in the bid for this project.

3) An AutoCAD file of the existing and proposed improvement information is being
made available as requested for the convenience of the bidders. It is to be used at the
sole discretion of the bidders. If any discrepancies arise between the bid documents
and the provided AutoCAD File, the bid documents will govern.
4) Maintaining full minimum compliance with all aspects of the CDPS Stormwater
Construction General Permit (CGP) during active and inactive construction on this
project will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor will apply for and
hold the CGP for this project until the conditions allowing CGP Inactivation have been
met. Developing, adhering to, and maintaining an adequate Stormwater Management
Plan (SWMP) and all associated documentation and inspection records is a condition
of full minimum CGP requirements and the contract.
Following award notice, and prior to starting any disturbance activity on the site, the
successful bidder will acquire the services of Stormwater Risk Management, LLC
(SRM) for three (3) stormwater CGP compliance audits to occur during the anticipated
“Active” construction period. UCCS has pre-negotiated a price of $900.00 with SRM
for inclusion in your bid proposal. SRM can be reached at (303) 627-7867. SRM’s
website is: http://www.stormwaterrm.com/
Three audits will be scheduled by SRM between 28 and 35 calendar days apart. The
contractor is encourage to participate in the SRM audit, but is not required to. The
UCCS Construction Manager may also attend the site audit. The basic audit services
include approximately 2 hours onsite time, 1 hour report preparation/follow-up
response, drive time to and from the project, password secured database access to view
the performance reports and online corrective action verification reports. The
contractor’s SWMP Administrator, or Primary Contact, may select up to 20 additional
contacts to receive, view and respond to SRM audit reports. SRM will conduct all
stormwater site audits utilizing the Construction Reviewer Inspection Process as
adopted by the AGC Colorado Stormwater Administrator Program’s Advisory Board.
SRM audit reports and all associated compliance performance scoring, corrective action
response status, and other audit information, will be provided to the contractor and the
UCCS Construction Manager via email delivery service within 24 hours of the end of
the site audit. The contractor’s Primary Contact must maintain a valid business email
URL and address during active construction. It will be the responsibility of the
contractor to complete the online data entry required to close corrective actions
identified during each SRM compliance audit.
At the sole discretion of the contractor, additional stormwater compliance assistance
may be acquired from SRM at the rate of $75.00 per hour for field services and
assistance and $110 per hour for SWMP development (prices valid until October 1,
2013). However, beyond the audit services and pre-arranged pricing listed above, the
contractor is in no way obligated to seek any additional outside services from SRM or
other service providers. All pricing and payment arrangements are between the
contractor and service providers.
