Prequalified Contractors for Heavy Civil Construction and General Stream Maintenance

The Mile High Flood District (MHFD) formerly known as Urban Drainage and Flood Control District is currently requesting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) from contractors interested in being on the list of Pre-qualified Stream Contractors to perform general stream construction and management including routine mowing and debris clean-up.

MHFD has implemented an alternative project delivery option that utilizes a list of prequalified contractors to do the majority of construction work.  Work includes large-scale drainageway capital improvement projects, stream restoration work, and routine stream management work such as revegetation, forestry, and trash and debris pickup.

There will be two categories of prequalified contractors:

Category I: Heavy Civil Construction:  Included in this classification are all aspects of heavy construction in and around streams and rivers related to stormwater management. Examples of work include, but are not limited to, stream reconstruction and rehabilitation, concrete structures, box culverts, bridges, excavation, rock placement, earthwork, grade control structures, cutoff walls, boulder walls, utility relocations, and storm sewers.   As part of completing heavy civil construction work, a contractor must be able to obtain and correctly administer all required permits and have the ability to correctly install and maintain erosion control, sediment control, and water control measures. Category I work may also include any of the work tasks described in Category II.

Category II: General Stream Maintenance:  Included in this classification are all aspects of work related to urban drainageways not involving significant heavy construction. Examples of work include, but are not limited to, trash and debris pickup, revegetation, small sediment removals, maintenance trail repairs, minor bank or channel repairs, handrail and fencing, tree thinning, and weed control. As part of completing general stream maintenance work, a contractor must be able to obtain and correctly administer all required permits and have the ability to correctly install and maintain erosion control, sediment control, and water control measures. 

Details about the SOQ submittal requirements are available on MHFD’s website, www.mhfd.org at the bottom of the page under Recent News.

SOQs must be received at MHFD's office no later than April 9, 2026, by 5:00pm, or sent via email to rrodriguez@mhfd.org (file size no larger than 10mb).  A confirmation email will be sent when the submittal is received.
