About this file
This is an Addendum 1 Questions and Responses document issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for Solicitation #RFP 2027000068, titled CalGulch Groundwater Monitoring Vendor. The addendum addresses seven vendor questions regarding minimum qualifications, experience requirements, budget scope, and technical specifications. Key clarifications include confirmation that the minimum experience requirement is five (5) years, with California Gulch experience preferred but five years of mining environment or superfund site experience accepted as an alternative. The CDPHE confirmed that the maximum annual budget of $75,000 is correct and intended to encompass the expanded scope of work, which includes GAW pump system and CG6 stream gauge station maintenance. The referenced exhibits in qualification sections were clarified, with Exhibit C confirmed as the correct reference rather than Exhibit B.
Additional technical clarifications address the GAW pump system operations, specifying that the hibernation period typically occurs from November through March or April, with active pumping occurring on a condition-specific basis rather than on a regular schedule. Annual operational assumptions for the GAW Shaft Operations and Maintenance include building and pump maintenance, SCADA/data connectivity monitoring, and pump monitoring. The responses resolve inconsistencies regarding the three (3) versus five (5) years experience discrepancy between different sections of the RFP, confirming the mandatory minimum qualification as five (5) years of experience.

Vendor Question #2: Section V, Part C, Item 2 states the respondent must have up to 5 years of experience with groundwater monitoring at California Gulch.

CDPHE Answer #2: California Gulch experience is preferred, 5 years mining environment experience will be accepted.

However, the current scope includes additional services, including GAW pump system and CG6 stream gauge station maintenance. Please confirm that the stated maximum annual budget is correct and intended to encompass the expanded scope of work.
CDPHE Answer #3: The activities that were added to the first modification were omissions and part of the $75,000 budget. This budget is an estimate and subject to final contract negotiation.
