OpportunityOEDIT plans to bring $3.05 billion in federal and private investment into Colorado’s knowledge-intensive and innovation ecosystems by June 30, 2027, with BF&I targeting about $169.85 million via Federal Fast Forward, Colorado Quantum Fund, Tech Hub Development Grants, and SSBCI venture programs. Strategies include supporting quantum, advanced manufacturing, and NSF Engines, plus workforce tied to these sectors. Tech firms, research institutions, site selectors, and capital providers can work with OEDIT to structure projects and proposals that qualify for these incentives and match-on funding.Colorado Creative Industries (Office of Economic Development) · Jul 1, 2026$3,050,000,000$3,050,000,000OpportunityCity Council reconsidered and ultimately confirmed Ordinance 26-06 vacating approximately 0.92 acres of East Boulder Street between N. Nevada and N. Weber for the Palmer High School campus expansion. The discussion detailed Phase 1B relocation of utilities (with School District 11 paying for gas-line moves), removal of the existing tunnel, new crosswalk and intersection safety improvements, and construction of an athletic track and academic wing as part of a larger campus master plan tied to a potential 775000000 district bond.
The District already has funding to complete the track/field and relocate students from the Erps Gym site, but the broader 775 million bond and full renovation program, including new athletic facilities and potential redevelopment of the Erps site, are still under consideration and may go to voters in November 2026. This sets up a substantial pipeline of design, engineering, construction, traffic and safety improvements, and campus redevelopment work, with near-term utility relocation and traffic-control projects and longer-term opportunities conditioned on the bond’s approval.City of Colorado Springs · May 26, 2026$775,000,000$775,000,000OpportunityVail is redeveloping the former 198‑unit Timber Ridge rental property into 302 deed‑restricted for‑sale units through a partnership with a private developer, with total project cost around 165M and the Town contributing 38.6M in cash plus 10.4M in land and a new transit stop. The Timber Ridge enterprise fund has advanced 39.6M toward construction, while the General and Housing Funds have advanced more than 30M; these advances will be repaid from unit sales, and sale proceeds are also expected to retire an 8M internal note payable by 2033, possibly earlier. Construction is already in progress, but the 2025 financials describe continuing receivables, internal loans, and expected reimbursements, suggesting that sales, marketing, buyer qualification, HOA set-up, and completion/closeout work still needs to be delivered. Vendors in real estate sales and marketing, homeowner education, HOA and property management, and closeout construction services have near-term opportunities as Vail and its partner prepare to bring all 302 workforce units to market and recover their investment.Town of Vail · Jun 16, 2026$165,000,000$165,000,000OpportunityThe Gondola Advisory Committee reviewed Federal Transit Administration Capital Investment Grant (CIG) funding requirements and a cost‑sharing memo for the planned Telluride–Mountain Village Gondola Replacement Project. SMART, as project sponsor, is preparing to request entry into the FTA CIG Core Capacity Program for a roughly 140M replacement, with a 70M federal share and 70M in local match to be assembled from SMART and partner sources.
Over 2026–2031, SMART and partners must commit 18M for Project Development, at least 21M total non‑CIG funds by the end of Project Development, and the full 70M non‑CIG share by the end of Engineering before a Full Funding Grant Agreement. Local entities will need resolutions, MOUs, IGAs, ballot measures, and a detailed financial plan, creating demand for financial, legal, grant, engineering, and project controls support. Vendors can position now to help SMART refine funding strategies, document commitments that meet FTA standards, and plan sequencing of design, NEPA, and construction activities tied to the CIG milestones.San Miguel Authority For Regional Transportation · Jun 15, 2026$140,000,000$140,000,000145 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
Recent projects and awards in Colorado
Contract awards and project updates from public meetings, largest and newest first.
ACM Dawson Trails VIII JV LLC is requesting Planning Commission recommendation of approval for a Site Development Plan to build 100 three-story townhomes in the Dawson Trails Planned Development, Planning Area E2, on about 8.4 acres. The plan includes attached two-car garages, 28 additional surface parking spaces plus adjacent on-street parking, a one-acre landscaped park with playground and picnic amenities, a fenced dog park with pet wash, and trail connections into a larger 31-acre open space network.
The staff report notes that major grading and installation of water, wastewater, storm sewer, and roadway infrastructure serving the site is already underway or completed, and that there are no outstanding staff or external review comments; staff recommends approval and has scheduled the Town Council hearing. While the land developer is identified, this approval will trigger multi-year work for builders, site contractors, utilities, landscape, and amenity vendors to deliver dwelling units, parks, lighting, trails, and HOA-maintained areas. Vendors may find follow-on opportunities in vertical construction trades, park/playground equipment supply, landscaping, irrigation, and community infrastructure services as phases proceed.Contract Award · Town of Castle Rock · Douglas County · Jun 25, 2026$5,930,000$5,930,000The committee consent agenda approves a contract with Garage Door Specialties, Inc. dba Door Specialties for $4,171,719.19 over three years, with two one-year options to extend, to provide overhead, automated and pedestrian door repair and replacement, plus preventative maintenance and emergency security guard gate repairs, supporting maintenance at Denver International Airport (PLANE-202582129). This establishes Door Specialties as DEN’s primary contractor for door systems and security gate maintenance in Council District 11.
Because the vendor is identified and the contract structure includes optional extensions, the core decision is made, but the scope and value indicate ongoing needs for parts, controls, security integration, and possibly specialized subcontracting. Facility, security, and controls vendors can target Door Specialties or DEN for integration, hardware/software upgrades, and support around access control and emergency gate reliability, as well as positioning for future rebids when the base three-year term concludes.Contract Award · Denver County · Denver County · Jun 24, 2026$4,171,719$4,171,719The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee consent agenda includes approval of a $4,500,000 contract with Western Plains Construction LLC to remove and replace deficient concrete ADA ramps, curbs, gutters, sidewalk panels, cross pans, concrete streets, and alley pavement citywide. The contract term is 200 days under project DOTI-202683287, indicating an intensive, near-term construction program to address accessibility and pavement deficiencies across Denver.
This action means the primary construction vendor has been selected and the work is moving into delivery rather than procurement. For vendors, this provides clear intelligence on the scale of Denver’s ADA and concrete asset management efforts and identifies Western Plains Construction as the incumbent for similar citywide work. There may be opportunities for subcontracting, materials supply, traffic control, inspection, or follow-on design and compliance services around this large, time-bounded program.Contract Award · Denver County · Denver County · Jun 24, 2026$4,500,000$4,500,000The consent agenda includes approval of a contract with Garage Door Specialties, Inc. dba Door Specialties to provide overhead, automated and pedestrian door repair, replacement, preventative maintenance, and emergency security guard gate repairs at Denver International Airport. The agreement is for $4,171,719.19 over three years, with two one-year options to extend, covering critical access and security-related infrastructure in Council District 11 under PLANE-202582129.
With the vendor selected and contract value and term set, this is a decided maintenance and repair contract rather than an open procurement. However, it signals DEN’s ongoing investment in door and gate reliability and security, positioning Door Specialties as the incumbent for these systems. Vendors offering related hardware, controls, access/security integration, monitoring, or specialized subcontracting can approach DEN or the prime to explore complementary work, upgrades, or services during the base term and potential option years.Contract Award · Denver County · Denver County · Jun 24, 2026$4,171,719$4,171,719The Transportation and Infrastructure Committee consent agenda includes approval of a $4,500,000 contract with Western Plains Construction LLC for 200 days of work to remove and replace deficient concrete ADA ramps, curbs, gutters, sidewalk panels, cross pans, concrete streets, and alley pavement citywide under project DOTI-202683287. This indicates Denver is funding a large-scale concrete rehabilitation and ADA compliance effort across multiple locations rather than a single site project.
The contract award means the primary construction work has been decided, but the scope suggests potential needs for traffic control, materials supply, inspections, surveying, and ancillary ADA-compliance consulting. Vendors can use this as incumbent intelligence on Western Plains for possible subcontracting or to position for future phases or similar DOTI concrete and ADA programs once this 200-day contract nears completion.Contract Award · Denver County · Denver County · Jun 24, 2026$4,500,000$4,500,000Lafayette is implementing a 2025 voter‑approved general obligation bond (Issue 2C) to design and construct three major municipal facilities, starting with Phase 1: renovation/expansion of the Bob L. Burger Recreation Center and the Service Center. For Phase 1, the City has already selected Artaic Group as bond program/owner’s representative, Davis Partnership Architects as design lead for the recreation center (design‑bid‑build), and the Buildings by Design/D2C Architects team as design‑build contractor for the Service Center, with contracts approved in April and June 2026. The project teams are in early design, with internal design review groups formed and broader community engagement for the recreation center planned to begin by late June or early July 2026. While the prime program manager and designers are in place, these multi‑year capital projects will generate downstream needs for specialty consulting, engineering, technology systems, FF&E, recreation equipment, and construction subcontracting. Vendors can position around integrations, specialty scopes, and future bid packages that will flow from the design‑bid‑build and design‑build delivery models as designs are refined and the Service Center guaranteed maximum price (GMP) is set.Contract Award · City of Lafayette · Colorado · Jun 23, 2026$74,000,000$74,000,000285 more Colorado projects matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
