RFTA Process for Requesting Services A RFTA project, facilities, or operations manager, or designated person, will issue a Work Order for services.

The service provider must provide a detailed price quote using the rate in the signed contract. Both parties will

RFTA Solicitation 25-074 Page 5 of 26 sign the Work Order and agree on a start and completion date.

Additional Terms or Requirements Work Orders or requests for services, using federal or state funding will be clearly identified when an estimate is requested. Such Work Orders may require:

• Service provider to pay Davis Bacon/Prevailing Wages;

• To comply with Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) goals.

Equipment Condition Assessment Guide

Introduction The goal of the condition assessment is to have a trained technician evaluate all the subcomponents of the RFTA asset using a 1–5 scale. RFTA will use the condition assessment provided by the contracted technician to determine the overall condition of each asset.

The purpose of this assessment is to support RFTA’s ongoing efforts to maintain a State of Good Repair (SGR) across all critical equipment. The scores submitted by the contractor will directly inform capital planning, maintenance prioritization, and potential equipment replacement schedules.

1.0 Condition Assessment Procedures

The contractor is required to supply RFTA with a suitable checklist for each asset to be inspected, which must align with industry standards. Using the approved checklist, the contractor will evaluate each component of the asset using the 1-5 evaluation scale provided in this document. An example of what a checklist could look like is shown in Table 1, with the most important part being the number scale.

1.1 Contractor Responsibilities

The contractor must:

• Submit a checklist for each specific asset prior to inspection for RFTA approval if on is not provided.

• Conduct the assessment annually unless otherwise directed by RFTA.

• Use only trained personnel familiar with the specified equipment.

• Document all findings and component-level ratings in an easy-to-read format.

• Submit one summarized SGR Score per unit based on the average or lowest component score, per

RFTA instruction.

• Flag any unit scoring below a 3 for RFTA review, including a recommendation for corrective action.

Table 1 – Example Checklist

GMF FAN 1

Component Notes:

Belts 5 – The belt needed to be replaced; a new belt was installed Motor 4 – No visible defects; in good condition Switch 3 – Switch cover is broken but still functions Shroud/Cover 2 – Missing 1 clamp mount and seal; replacement needed soon Fan Blades 1 – Severely bent; immediate replacement required

2.0 Condition Assessment Rating Scale

Table 2 details how to apply the rating definitions to the facility asset components.

Table 2 – Component Condition Assessment Rating Scale

RFTA Solicitation 25-074 Page 6 of 26

Rating Condition Description 5 Excellent No visible defects, new or near new condition; may still be under warranty if applicable 4 Good Good condition, but no longer new, may have some slightly defective or deteriorated component(s), but is overall functional

3 Adequate Moderately deteriorated or defective components; but has not exceeded useful life

2 Marginal Defective or deteriorated component(s)in need of replacement; exceeded useful life

1 Poor Critically damaged component(s) or in need of immediate repair; well past useful life

Example: Condition Assessment Rating Scale Question: An inspection is performed on a relatively new facility asset. All components are functioning well. There are no functional defects or repairs needed, but in some cases, components have superficial damage such as scratches or dents. How should these components be rated?

Answer: The components are still in new condition and would be rated 5: Excellent. Components with no more than superficial defects would be rated as 4: Good.

3.0 Assigning an Overall SGR Score

After completing the component-level checklist, the contractor must assign a single overall SGR Score to each unit. This can be determined by either:

• Taking the lowest component score (for safety-critical assets), or

• Calculating the average score, if all components are weighted equally.

RFTA will indicate which approach to use on a case-by-case basis. The summary score should be clearly labeled in the report as the Annual SGR Score for that unit.

RFTA Solicitation 25-074 Page 7 of 26

Contract Term, Invoicing, and Compensation The contract will be for a period of one (1) year with four (4) one-year options to auto renew if both parties are agreeable. The contract will begin January 1, 2026. RFTA will allow an annual price increase based on CPI.

CPI Adjustment. The monetary values stated in this Contract are effective for the initial Contract term, 2026. Future terms will be adjusted based on the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index (CPI) as of October 1 of the preceding year.

RFTA’s financial obligation is contingent upon appropriated funds for this particular purpose made available annually by the RFTA Board of Directors. If this contract contemplates RFTA utilizing state or federal funds to meet its obligations herein, the contract shall be contingent upon the availability of those funds for payment pursuant to the terms of the contract.

Because the service provider will not work exclusively for RFTA and will have other clients, RFTA anticipates selecting up to two contractors to provide the service(s). RFTA does not guarantee a minimum dollar value per Work Order, per year or throughout the contract period. The maximum dollar value per calendar year shall be $45,000.00 per service provider.

Process for Requesting Services A RFTA project, facilities or operations manager, or designated person, will issue a Work Order for services. The service provider must provide a detailed price quote using the rates in the signed contract. Both parties will sign the Work Order and agree on a start date.

RFTA reserves the right to use any company on the Preferred Contractors List which it deems to be in its best interest for any specific job. Selection of a company for each project shall be within the sole discretion of RFTA. Inclusion on the Preferred Contractors List does not bar the company from bidding on any of RFTA’s other projects. RFTA reserves the right to request Proposals or Quotes for any project, regardless of the project cost for services, when it is deemed to be in its’ best interest.
