About this file

This is a Submission Instructions document for the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) outlining electronic and physical proposal submission procedures through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (BidNet). Vendors may submit proposals electronically via the BidNet website at www.bidnetdirect.com/cdphe or by hand delivery or mail to the CDPHE Purchasing and Contracts Unit. Electronic submissions require one original signed copy of Attachment 1 and one digital file version of the proposal in Word 2003 or newer, or PDF format. Vendors are advised to submit proposals no later than one hour before the deadline to ensure successful upload, and BidNet will send email confirmation of correct submission. The document emphasizes that vendor registration may require time and recommends completing setup well in advance of the submission deadline. Technical support is available through BidNet Direct's Vendor Support Department at 800-835-4603, Option 2, but vendors should direct all solicitation-related inquiries to the procurement contact via email.

For physical submissions, proposals must be hand-delivered or sent via USPS, FedEx, or UPS to the CDPHE Purchasing and Contracts Unit Mail Room at 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver, CO 80246-1530, with attention to Allan Smith, Purchasing Unit Supervisor. Vendors should allow a minimum of two additional days for USPS delivery to ensure timely receipt before the specified deadline. Mailroom hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed for lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily. Physical submissions must include one original signed copy of Attachment 1 and one electronic version on USB flash drive in Word 2003 or newer, or PDF format. All submittals must be sealed in an appropriate envelope or package clearly marked with the offeror's name, solicitation number and title, and proposal submission due date and time. Emailed proposals will not be accepted under any circumstances.

Exhibit A - Submission Instructions:

Electronic Submission – BidNet Website BidNet Instructions The Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (BidNet) is an online notification system that is utilized by multiple governmental entities. Participating entities post their bids, quotes, proposals, addendums, and awards on this one centralized system. Review bids or register today by visiting this link: www.bidnetdirect.com//cdphe.

Vendor registration is free; however, vendors may elect to receive automatic email notification of all open solicitations matching their vendor profile for an annual fee. If a vendor does not select the upgrade option, it is the responsibility of the vendor to monitor the website regularly in order to be aware of business opportunities and review changes or addendums to bids, quotes, and proposals. Vendors who upgrade to receive email notifications will receive opportunities matching their business goods/services provided automatically.

Once logged into the system and viewing this notice, use the “Place a Bid” button at the top of the page. Follow the instructions to the end and ensure you receive a confirmation page that shows your response was successfully submitted. If you need assistance please contact BidNet Direct's Vendor Support Department at 800-835-4603, Option 2. Do not contact the procurement contact for the solicitation. Do not wait until the last minute in case you encounter questions or technical issues. No proposals will be accepted after the time specified.

Things to remember:

a. Vendor registration/set up can take time. Do not wait until right before the submission deadline to get this completed.

b. The solicitation submission application typically uploads proposals within five minutes. Vendors are advised to submit proposals no later than one hour prior to the solicitation deadline to ensure the proposal has been received. The ability to upload documents will halt right at the bid submission deadline, whether your submission is complete or not.

c. BidNet will send an email confirmation if the proposal was uploaded correctly.

d. The solicitation submission application is only for proposal submission. All inquiries, questions, comments, or concerns should be submitted to the Procurement Contact via email and not through the solicitation submission application.

Each electronic submittal shall consist of:

1. One (1) original (signed in ink or via digital signature) of Attachment 1

f. One (1) digital file version of the Proposal, readable in Word 2003 or newer, or in PDF format.
