1. SOLICITATION INFORMATION

A. Introduction

On behalf of the State of Colorado, the Auraria Higher Education Center is issuing this Documented Quote (DQ) for the Community College of Denver (“CCD” or

“College”) for Moving Services for the Boulder Creek Health & Science Center

Project

B. Background, Overview and Goals

CCD is completing construction of the new Boulder Creek Health & Science Center, with substantial completion anticipated in early December 2026. The new facility will consolidate multiple health science programs into a single, modern academic building, creating a centralized hub for health sciences education and improving collaboration between departments.

The move will include approximately seven (7) academic programs, including Health

& Wellness, Dental Hygiene, Veterinary Technology (Vet Tech), Surgical Technology

(Surg Tech), Phlebotomy, Nursing, and Radiologic Technology (Rad Tech). The relocation will involve classroom furnishings, office contents, specialized instructional materials, medical equipment, laboratory equipment, and faculty resources.

CCD is seeking a qualified moving partner to provide comprehensive relocation services for the transition into the Boulder Creek Health & Science Center. The selected vendor will work closely with the College and its project management team to plan, coordinate, and execute the move while minimizing disruption to academic operations.

The relocation will include specialized medical and laboratory equipment that requires careful handling, transportation, and placement. Due to construction completion timelines and equipment availability, portions of the move may need to be phased. The selected vendor should demonstrate flexibility, strong communication, and the ability to coordinate multiple moves across several departments within a compressed schedule.
