COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife invites bids for the removal of the existing North Shore Marina infrastructure at Lake Pueblo State Park. This necessary action marks the first step in a broader effort to build a new, revitalized marina at the site.CPW remains firmly committed to supporting marina services at North Shore and recognizes the marina as a vital recreational amenity for park visitors and the greater Pueblo and southern Colorado community. Removal of the aging infrastructure is an essential phase in preparing the area for future development and improved public use.
"Removal of the current marina infrastructure is a crucial step toward delivering a modern, functional and sustainable marina for the future," said Joe Stadterman, Park Manager at Lake Pueblo State Park. “Requesting bids is about responsible planning and making sure every dollar spent aligns with market value and public benefit.”
The invitation for bids process allows CPW to gather accurate and transparent cost information associated with the marina’s removal. Whether the current operator or another qualified contractor performs the work, the process ensures competitive bidding.
The current contractor continues operation of the marina through at least October 31 ensuring uninterrupted services for the 2025 boating season. CPW continues to work closely with stakeholders to minimize disruptions and prepare for the marina’s transition, with a goal of no disruptions to access during the boating season.
The Invitation for Bid is available at www.colorado.gov/vss listed as IFB1-PMAA-2025000215-1
