2026-085P25 Addendum 1 final (1).pdf

This is Addendum 1 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) for the Enhanced Protective Placement Unit project at the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Pueblo (CMHHIP), RFQ number 2027000004. The project involves the conversion of Cottage 137 from a hospital facility (I-2 occupancy) to an Interim Care Facility (ICF). Design and construction services are being solicited to support this licensing change and facility conversion. CDHS will provide all current and historical drawings in multiple formats, including PDF, AutoCAD, and other electronic formats across all disciplines (architecture, site, MEP, and structural) to the awarded consultant following contract execution.

The addendum clarifies key project parameters and responsibility allocation. Hazardous materials testing, coordination, and any required remediation remain the responsibility of the facility ownership and are explicitly excluded from the scope of work and associated costs. The licensing change from hospital to ICF will occur after construction is completed and will not impose constraints on either the design or construction phases. The addendum includes an Enrollment Sheet attachment and addresses three substantive questions regarding hazardous materials, facility licensing requirements and timelines, and the availability of existing facility documentation.
