2. INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
2.1. Work
RTD will accept bids from qualified companies until 2:00 pm on Tuesday, October 6, 2026 via RTD's online procurement portal, OpenGov. This Invitation for Bid (“IFB”) is for Colfax Curved Rail Replacement and Spare, Materials only, per the enclosed specifications and requirements.
2.2. Cost Type
Payments are anticipated to be made on a Fixed Price basis.
2.3. Award of Contract
Award of a Contract from this IFB will be based upon competitive bid (responsive, responsible low bidder).
2.4. Period of Performance
Subject to the Termination provision of the Contract, performance shall commence as of the Effective Date (or in the event that RTD provides a Notice to Proceed to the
Contractor, the Period of Performance shall commence on the date of the Notice to
Proceed) and shall continue for three months (subject to the exercise of any option periods).
2.5. Small Business Requirement for Contracts with No SBE Goal
RTD has not specified an SBE participation goal for the Work to be performed under the
Contract. However, RTD encourages and expects bidders to pursue subcontracting, mentoring, joint venturing, teaming and partnering opportunities with SBE firms in the ordinary course of its business/teaming strategies. Bidders are encouraged and expected to create a level playing field to the maximum practicable extent consistent with the objectives and requirements of the RTD SBE program based on federal regulations codified at 49 CFR Part 26 and RTD’s SBE Program Policy. Therefore, bidders are requested to document their efforts to include SBEs in this contracting opportunity, if any. Bidders are also requested to explain in their executive summary how they intend to utilize and/or will encourage subcontracting, mentoring, joint venturing and/or partnering opportunities with SBEs for this project. Furthermore, bidders are to submit a general workforce breakdown for their company (including affiliates) and the project. RTD is interested in your strategies and approach to seeking diversity in the bidder team to include SBEs in all phases of subcontracting, supplier and workforce opportunities associated with the Contract. RTD is an equal opportunity employer and also operates a successful Small Business Opportunity Office. Therefore, RTD expects bidders to demonstrate the same meaningful level of commitment to diversity from businesses that participate in RTD’s procurement process.
2.6. Bid Validity Period
Bids shall be valid for a duration of no less than ninety (90) days from bid due date.
Bids that are late will not be accepted!
3. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. General
Each Bidder is solely responsible for submitting any necessary forms and certifications that may be required by the IFB. Enclosed is a copy of the Contract contemplated for award substantially in the form to be executed.
A list of all holders (“followers”) of the IFB is available for view and/or print on the online procurement portal. The list is obtainable from the IFB advertisement date through the IFB close date.
3.2. Option(s)
If RTD has included the potential for options on this Contract, bids should be adjusted to cover such option(s). The option quantities or periods contained in the bid shall be evaluated in order to determine Contract award. When options have not been evaluated as part of the award, the exercise of such options will be considered “sole source” procurements. RTD will evaluate bids for award purposes by adding the total bid price for all options to the total bid price for the initial term of the Contract. Award of a
Contract containing options shall not obligate RTD to exercise such option(s).
3.3. Brand Name or Approved Equal
For approval of alternatives after Contract award, Bidders should refer to the Contract
Terms and Conditions.
Wherever brand, manufacturer, model, or product names are indicated in the Scope of
Work, they are included for the purpose of establishing identification and a general description of the item. Whenever a process is designated or a manufacturer’s name, brand, model, or item designation is given, or whenever a process or material covered by patent is designated or described, it will be understood that the words “or approved equal” follow such name, designation, or description, whether or not, in fact, they do so follow.
Specifications are provided to identify the product/service required and to establish an acceptable quality level. Bids on products of equal quality and usability will normally be considered unless otherwise stated. RTD will be the sole judge in determining “equals” in regard to quality and performance. Any Bidder that wants to bid or respond with the intent of using an approved equal must obtain approval before the bid opening. It should be assumed that submittals of supposed approved equals after award of the
Contract will be denied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, RTD may designate a process or a manufacturer's name, brand, model, or item, or designate or describe a process or material covered by patent without accepting requests for approved equals if RTD provides justification for such designation or description in the solicitation.
A brand name or approved equal specification means that the brand name is for the purpose of describing the standard of quality, performance, and characteristics desired.
Unless otherwise specified, information to address equivalent substitutes in brand name or approved equal descriptions must include published information -- such as brochures, descriptions, or other information made available in the general course of the vendor's business -- that demonstrates: equivalent functionality in terms of significant (or other specified, e.g. form, fit, or function) performance characteristics; similar duration and scope of warranty protections; comparable experience with the same, similar, or predecessor product line; and an adequate period (or minimum period specified in the solicitation) of customer support experience to demonstrate a comparable acceptable level and availability of customer support. The determination of whether a proposed substitute is acceptable is totally within the discretion of RTD.
Requests for approved equals must be received by the Procurement Specialist in writing prior to the end of the Inquiry Period. Any request for an approved equal must be fully supported with technical data, test results, or other pertinent information as evidence that the substitute offered is equal to or better than the Scope of Work requires. In addition, any test requirements in the Scope of Work that pertain to an item under consideration for approved equal must be submitted with the request for approved equal. Decisions of RTD shall be reduced to writing by the Procurement Specialist. Each
Bidder requesting approved equals shall be notified in writing of RTD’s decision not less than five days before the date of bid opening.
Failure to furnish brochures, specifications, and/or samples as requested may be sufficient cause to consider a quote unacceptable or a bid non-responsive.
Samples of product(s), when required, must be furnished free of expense to RTD, and if not destroyed by tests may, upon request made at the time the sample is furnished, be returned at the Bidder's expense.
It should be understood that using a specified brand name component and/or equipment in the Scope of Work shall not relieve the Contractor from its responsibility to accomplish the Work or provide the Service, as applicable, in accordance with applicable warranties and other contractual requirements. The Contractor is responsible for notifying RTD of any inappropriate brand name component and/or equipment that may be called for in the Scope of Work and for proposing a suitable substitute for consideration.
3.4. Addenda to IFB
In the event that it becomes necessary to revise any part of this IFB, or if additional information is necessary to enable potential Bidders to make an adequate interpretation of the provisions of this IFB, an addendum to the IFB will be provided to each recipient of this IFB through RTD's online procurement portal.
3.5. Inquiries
Questions about RTD and this IFB, including requests for approved equals, shall be directed to Marla Bainbridge, Procurement Specialist, through RTD’s online procurement portal.
From the issuance date of this IFB until RTD selects a bid for award, Marla Bainbridge, Procurement Specialist, is the sole point of contact for RTD and RTD’s project team members concerning this IFB. (In this IFB and the Contract Documents, this point of contact may be referred to as the Contract Administrator, Contracting Officer, Purchasing Agent, Buyer, or the like.) Any violation of this condition may be cause for
RTD to reject the offending Bidder’s bid. If RTD later discovers that the Bidder has engaged in any violations of this condition, RTD may reject the offending Bidder’s bid or rescind its Contract award. Bidders must agree not to distribute any part of their bid beyond RTD. A Bidder who shares information contained in its bid with other RTD personnel, RTD project team members, RTD board members, and/or competing
Bidders’ personnel may be disqualified.
Bidders’ questions must be submitted through RTD’s online procurement portal. All questions or requests for clarifications regarding this solicitation, including the form of the Contract, must be made during the Inquiry Period. RTD has no obligation to respond to questions or requests for clarifications that are not submitted through RTD’s online procurement portal, nor to those submitted outside of the Inquiry Period. Except as provided below, RTD’s responses to all inquiries properly submitted will be answered in the form of an addendum that will be provided to all recipients of this IFB through
RTD’s online procurement portal. See “Legal Notice to Bidders - Rights Reserved to
RTD.”
If the IFB Schedule provides for a pre-bid briefing (“Briefing”), RTD will not respond to any questions regarding the IFB until the Briefing is complete and the Inquiry Period if closed. Firms that have received this IFB, whether present for the Briefing or not, will receive: (1) a copy of the minutes; (2) answers to all questions presented; (3) a listing of all recipients of the IFB (current to date of Briefing); and (4) a copy of the sign-in sheet from the Briefing.

3.6. Submission & Withdrawal
Respondents shall register on RTD’s online procurement portal. Once registered, Respondents may view and click "Follow" to be a Prospective Respondent for this IFB and will appear on the Follower’s list. Respondents that fail to Follow this project will not receive automated Addenda notifications, nor will they be able to submit a
Response in the online procurement portal, and therefore will be unable to participate, nor be considered for this IFB. Respondents must click “Draft Response” to properly begin and submit a Response via the online procurement portal.
RTD will accept responses to this IFB electronically via the online procurement portal until 2:00 pm on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. Responses received after the scheduled due date and time for submission will not be accepted. Responses submitted in any other format other than via the online procurement portal, including but not limited to, hard copy (mailed or hand delivered), facsimile, or emailed submittals, will not be accepted.
RTD and the Software Administrator are not responsible for untimely submissions due to personal or company internet or hardware limitations, settings or restrictions, internet speed, power outage, network connection, or use of a malfunctioning electronic device, or the like. Respondents are solely responsible for the capability of their computer system while responding to this IFB and for the stability of their internet service. Failure of the Respondent to successfully submit an electronic Response before the deadline indicated herein shall be at the Respondent’s sole risk, and RTD will not accept late and/or improperly submitted Responses. Once file(s) have been uploaded and the Submission Status shows as “Submitted,” a submission is complete. At that point, the Respondent will also receive an email confirmation from the online procurement portal. Respondents may withdraw their submittal electronically via the online procurement portal at any time prior to the scheduled due date and time for submission.

RTD shall not disclose properly designated information unless such information is required to be disclosed by law or court order. In the event of a legal challenge to the confidentiality of records so designated by the bidder, RTD shall make reasonable efforts to notify the bidder prior to disclosing any such information, and in some cases may tender to the bidder the defense of any action filed. By submitting a bid under this IFB, the bidder agrees to accept such tender of defense and in all cases assumes exclusive responsibility for defending its position as to the confidentiality of the requested information. RTD is not obligated to assist in such defense, and cannot and does not guarantee that the confidentiality of records so designated will be upheld by a reviewing court.
