This is a Complete Solicitation Document for a Cooperative Request for Proposal (CRFP) issued by the State of Colorado Department of Human Services on behalf of a consortium of state agencies and departments. The solicitation seeks a comprehensive Building Management System (BMS) upgrade and implementation for state facilities, specifically referenced as BMS2700000001. The project involves the design, procurement, installation, configuration, and ongoing support of an integrated building management system across multiple state-owned properties.

The contract term includes an initial performance period with potential renewal options to be exercised at the state's discretion, allowing for extended services beyond the base contract period.

The pricing structure requires vendors to submit detailed cost proposals covering system design, hardware procurement, software licensing, installation labor, training, and ongoing maintenance and support services. This solicitation is open to qualified vendors meeting specified technical and financial qualifications, with particular consideration given to Colorado-based businesses and certified minority and women-owned business enterprises where applicable. The state will provide funding through departmental budgets and anticipated operational cost savings resulting from improved building energy management and system efficiency. Award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best overall value to the state, considering technical merit, implementation timeline, vendor experience, and total cost of ownership over the contract performance period.
