GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

ARTICLE 1 - INTRODUCTION

1.1 ABOUT THE COLORADO CONVENTION CENTER

The Colorado Convention Center (CCC) opened in 1990, with more than 100 professional meeting planners working together with architects to design every aspect of the building, the result was simple: a sensible, state-of-the-art facility with easy traffic flow to a stunningly beautiful building in the heart of downtown Denver. The Colorado Convention Center is well known as one of the most practical and “user-friendly” meeting facilities in the country.

The CCC consists of 584,000 square feet of exhibit space, a 5,000-seat theatre, 85,000 square feet of ballroom space (Mile High Ballroom 50,000 sf. and the Four Seasons Ballroom 35,000 sf), 150,000 square feet of meeting rooms, and a new 80,000 square foot Blue Bird Ballroom with all necessary support spaces.

The facilities have established as their primary goal the highest level of service to their customers and clients. All operating entities in each facility must adhere to the following objectives:

a) Offer services according to the highest industry standards and in the best interest of the facility, the community, and the State of Colorado.

b) Operate in a manner consistent with the public interest, providing each facility with full accountability for, and accurate records of all transactions conducted within each venue.

c) Provide the highest level of safety, service and cooperation to tenants and customers of the facilities.

d) Hold and maintain in good standing all required applicable local, state, and federal licenses and permits for the services required herein. Failure to maintain said licenses and permits may be cause for termination of contract.

Colorado Convention Center is soliciting proposals from fully qualified and experienced businesses to provide Arc Flash Study. Interested and qualified Respondents who have successfully demonstrated the experience and ability to perform comparable products and services are invited to respond.

Legends Global, as a contractor for the City and County of Denver, (“City") manages and operates the Colorado Convention Center (hereinafter referred to as "CCC").

By this Request for Proposals ("RFP"), Legends Global is soliciting proposals from qualified companies to operate and provide Arc Flash Study at the CCC as a preferred provider service.

1.2 LOCAL, SMALL, MINORITY AND WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT

We are committed to pursuing business relationships with M/WBE firms and using innovative approaches designed to continually improve business opportunities at the Colorado Convention Center.

CCC is committed to advancing business equity and sustainability through growing the capacity of MWBEs. CCC will take multiple actions as an expression of this commitment.

1. CCC will conduct outreach to these enterprises at the time of issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) to notify them of upcoming opportunities and encourage them to submit a proposal.

7 | P a g e Colorado Convention Center – Arc Flash Study

2. CCC will make efforts to do this through institutional procurements for goods and services, long-term workforce opportunities, and revenue streams for community benefit.

Each contract’s engagement efforts are intended to advance CCC’s commitment to ensure, local, small, disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned business enterprises.

3. Each RFP will ask questions about the bidder’s local, small, disadvantaged, minority and women-owned enterprise status, commitment to supporting the CCC through the successful selection on this project, as well as their commitment to diversity and inclusiveness in their business practices, staff hiring, compensation, training and retention, and support of the community.

4. Responses to these questions will be one of the main criteria in the selection committee’s consideration of proposals.

5. CCC will seek feedback regarding and make an effort to resolve barriers that these entities may experience in responding to the RFP and performing the specified services in each RFP.

1.2.1 Small and Minority/Women-owned Business Certification

Consultants or subcontractors who are classified as minority-owned, woman-owned, small business, or disadvantaged business should be registered and hold certification from the City and County of Denver or a comparable federal certification.

Step Three – Shortlist Legends Global will evaluate all proposals on the basis of technical merit and Anti-Discrimination response.
