202476770 - Ellie Caulkins Opera House Seating and Titling Replacement

The City and County of Denver (City) is soliciting qualifications from interested firms to qualify for bidding eligibility on the Ellie Caulkins Opera House Seating & Titling Replacement project. The goal of the project is to remove and replace current extent of seating, electronic libretto system (ELS), and seat wagons in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House. This project is being procured through a two-stage bid approach of RFQ and construction hard bid, as recommended by the Manager of DOTI Contract & Procurement and Director of DOTI IA due to the specialized experience required for the project.
The venue seat count is 2,188 and will be unchanged with improvements. While the majority of the seats are uniform in design, 8 deviations are required. The new titling system will primarily be a supra/super titling system, with the existing system being integrated into all individual seat backs. The seat wagons are 6 custom-fabricated modular wagons, mounted on a hydraulic lift, to add additional seating when an orchestra is not part of the performance. Each wagon will hold electric and seats. The Ellie Caulkins is a historically-designated structure, although the scope of this work is not anticipated to cause any additional historic review.
