Appendix C Vendor Accessibility Checklist 6_2026.docx

This is an Appendix C Vendor Accessibility Checklist document related to Colorado's Small & Medium Building Energy Efficiency & Decarbonization Initiative. The checklist serves as a compliance and evaluation tool for vendors participating in the program, establishing accessibility standards and requirements that bidders must meet or address throughout the procurement process. The document outlines mandatory accessibility criteria across various operational and service delivery dimensions, ensuring that selected vendors can effectively serve the initiative's objectives while maintaining compliance with state and federal accessibility standards.

The checklist functions as a vendor qualification and performance assessment instrument, requiring bidders to demonstrate their capacity to meet accessibility requirements related to communication, website compliance, document accessibility, and service delivery capabilities. Vendors must complete and submit the checklist as part of their proposal response, with evaluation criteria focused on their ability to accommodate diverse accessibility needs. The document establishes baseline expectations for vendor participation and serves as both a screening tool and ongoing performance monitoring mechanism for the duration of the contract term, ensuring sustained compliance with accessibility obligations throughout vendor engagement with the energy efficiency and decarbonization initiative.
