Summary
This Invitation for Bid (IFB 226DM012) issued by the Regional Transportation District (RTD) seeks qualified contractors to provide exterior power washing services at two Denver locations: Denver Union Station (1700 Wewatta Street) and Civic Center Plaza (1550 Broadway). The scope of work includes weekly and monthly power washing of bus lanes, passenger concourse aprons, exterior surfaces, and curbs at Denver Union Station, as well as monthly bus drive lane and parking area cleaning at Civic Center Plaza, plus semi-annual power washing of the 16th Street Mall Turn-A-Round and Cheyenne Street sidewalks. The contractor must provide truck-mounted, self-sufficient hot water pressure washing equipment and wet sweeping services using equipment equivalent to a Tenant M-50. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for July 30, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., beginning at Denver Union Station. The written inquiry period closes August 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with RTD responses provided by August 14, 2026.

The contract period is one year from the effective date, with four optional one-year extension periods available at RTD's sole discretion.
Compensation is offered on a fixed-price basis with contractor responsibility for all labor, materials, supplies, and equipment. The pricing form requires separate line-item costs for twelve monthly services at Denver Union Station, fifty-two weekly services at Denver Union Station, twelve monthly services at Civic Center Plaza, and two semi-annual services at Civic Center, with identical line items for each of the four option years. RTD has not specified a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal but encourages bidders to document efforts to include SBEs through subcontracting, mentoring, joint venturing, and partnering opportunities. All work must be performed during off-peak hours, typically Wednesday nights from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. Thursday at Denver Union Station and 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. at Civic Center, with scheduling subject to RTD Project Manager approval.

2.1. Work
RTD will accept bids from qualified companies until 10:00 am on Tuesday, August 18, 2026 via RTD's online procurement portal, OpenGov. This Invitation for Bid (“IFB”) is for Downtown Power Washing - Denver Union Station and Civic Center, 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 1 year (subject to the exercise of any option periods).
2.5. Options for this Contract
This Contract has the potential for four (4) 1-year options to extend the Period of
Performance.
2.6. 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.
2.7. 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. 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.
3.4. Inquiries
Questions about RTD and this IFB, including requests for approved equals, shall be directed to Dain Caldwell, Senoir Buyer, through RTD’s online procurement portal.
From the issuance date of this IFB until RTD selects a bid for award, Dain Caldwell, Senoir Buyer, 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. To the extent that Bidders request changes to the form of the Contract, including additional terms, conditions, and agreements (such as license agreements, master services agreements, and user agreements), such requested changes must be submitted with proposals. 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.
