AHEC-25700-R_Answers to Questions Final.pdf

This document is an Answers to Questions document for Request for Proposal (RFQ) AHEC-25700-R, issued by the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC), which includes the Community College of Denver (CCD), Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver), and University of Colorado-Denver (UCD). The RFQ seeks to pre-qualify on-call contractors and service providers for small construction projects ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 throughout the entire Auraria campus. The pre-qualification process will establish a list of contractors who can be called upon to perform various trade services as needed, with each project subject to procurement rules and potential bonding requirements.

In response to a vendor's question, the document clarifies that general contractors do not need to list subcontractors in their initial response proposals. Instead, subcontractor and partner information will be required when pricing is provided for a specific project. This approach allows for flexibility in contractor selection and project-specific staffing, enabling AHEC to maintain a pool of qualified contractors who can be rapidly deployed for campus construction and maintenance needs.
