Pikes Peak Recreation Area Comprehensive Recreation and Stewardship Planning Services

The Colorado Department of Natural Resources, on behalf of Colorado Parks and Wildlife, seeks qualified individuals and firms to lead the comprehensive planning phase for the Pikes Peak Recreation Area. The contractor will develop an area-wide framework initially based on the Ring the Peak Trail and associated Corridor Planning Area to guide long-term stewardship, multi-use recreation management, ecological and infrastructure protection, and sustainable access. Eligibility is limited to onshore United States organizations, and qualified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses may receive a 5% price preference. Offerors must submit project approaches, schedules, per-phase pricing, total project costs, and hourly rate sheets, and all questions are due by November 13, 2026. An evaluation committee will score mandatory requirements on a met or not met basis and award the contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the state considering price and evaluation factors.
