Addendum 1.docx

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), referenced as RFQ 2027000004. The addendum addresses three critical clarifications regarding the Cottage 137 renovation project. First, it confirms that hazardous materials testing will be conducted, with all associated costs and coordination responsibilities falling outside the scope of the project work. Second, it seeks confirmation that Cottage 137 is currently licensed as a hospital under I-2 occupancy classification and will be converted by CDHS to an Interim Care Facility (ICF), while requesting clarification on the expected timeline for this licensing transition and any design or construction constraints that may result from the change. Third, the addendum requests that CDHS provide all existing documentation for Cottage 137 to bidders, including architectural, site, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), and structural drawings in electronic formats such as PDF or AutoCAD.

The addendum does not contain specific information regarding pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, response deadlines, or contract duration within its content. As a clarification document, it functions to resolve bidder questions and ensure all participants have consistent understanding of project scope, existing conditions, and available reference materials prior to submitting proposals.
