About this file
This document is an Addendum containing Questions and Answers for RFP #2027000030, the Clean Watershed Needs Survey (CWNS), issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The RFP seeks a contractor to expand the 2027 CWNS to include additional data collection on wastewater and decentralized needs beyond the current scope of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) control and stormwater. Key deliverables include surveying entities on the Non-IUP Entity List provided by the Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) and reporting EPA survey responses from 50 additional non-point source projects. The original Statement of Work contained placeholder dates of February 28, 2023, and May 31, 2023, for items 3 and 4 of the deliverable schedule, which CDPHE confirmed would be finalized through agreement with the selected contractor during the scope of work drafting phase. The CDPHE will not manage tribal data collection directly, as EPA is expected to handle tribal CWNS data collection due to CDPHE's lack of regulatory authority over tribes providing wastewater services.
The contractor is responsible for evaluating existing CDPHE data to identify available information and collecting survey responses from entities not currently represented in CDPHE databases. The scope of work drafting phase will include contractor training from EPA subject matter experts, after which CDPHE will evaluate the potential for implementing state-specific approaches to the survey methodology. Specific pricing terms, set-asides, funding amounts, and contract term details are not addressed in this addendum document.

SOLICITATION QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Solicitation #: RFP #2027000030 Solicitation Name: Clean Watershed Needs Survey (CWNS)
Vendor Question #1: Could you verify that the dates in Exhibit C. Statement of Work (SOW) Section V.
Deliverable Schedule for Items 3 and 4 of February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023 were meant to be TBD?
CDPHE Answer #1: Yes That is correct. We mistakenly attached the SOW before ironing out the dates, and will come to an agreement on the schedule with the contractor.
Vendor Question #2: With the 2027 CWNS expanding Tribal data collection from NPS control and stormwater to include wastewater and decentralized needs, does Colorado plan to identify or document Tribes' needs for the 2027 CWNS?
CDPHE Answer #2: No, we expect that the EPA would be managing the tribal CWNS data collection as the CDPHE does not have regulatory authority for US tribes providing wastewater services.
Vendor Question #3: Exhibit C. SOW Section IV. Work Plan PA#3. Sub-Activity 2: “The Contractor shall send the survey to the Non-IUP Entity List provided by WQCD.” Is this survey a form that is to be provided by Colorado to the Contractor?
CDPHE Answer #3:
Vendor Question #4: Exhibit C. SOW Section IV. Work Plan PA#3. Sub-Activity 4: “…to report to EPA survey responses from 50 additional non-point source projects …” Are those responses to be provided by CDPHE or will the contractor need to collect those from the entities?
CDPHE Answer #4: The contractor would evaluate available data to determine if any of the information is provided via already existing CDPHE data. For any entities that are not available in CDPHE data the contractor would collect those responses from the entities.
Vendor Question #5: Is Colorado anticipating any State Specific Approaches to be used?
CDPHE Answer #5: The CDPHE will evaluate the potential for any state specific approaches with the contractor during the scope of work drafting phase after adequate training has been provided to the contractor and CDPHE SME from the EPA .
