About this file
This is a Notice of Proposed Sole Source for the Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources. The solicitation (NPSS1 PEAA 2027*0046) seeks services for a Confined Aquifer Sustainability Study focused on Division 3's confined and unconfined aquifers. A purchase order will be issued in August 2027, pending available funding, with the sole source procurement ending on June 30, 2029. Vendors interested in challenging the sole source designation are invited to submit a one-page cover letter via email to Jeanette Stroud at the Department of Natural Resources Purchasing Office demonstrating their capability to provide the requested services. If multiple vendors are deemed capable, the purchase will be formally solicited.
The Division of Water Resources has budgeted approximately $249,950 for this work. HRS Water Consultants has been designated as the sole source contractor based on their extensive experience studying Division 3's aquifers over many years and their unmatched expertise in groundwater and hydrogeology within the region. The justification for the sole source award emphasizes that any competing vendor would require substantial time and resources to develop the requisite background knowledge, which would jeopardize the project's required deadlines. This notice provides an opportunity for alternative vendors to challenge the sole source determination by demonstrating their qualifications and capability to meet the State Engineer's imposed deadlines.

Notice of Proposed Sole Source Scope of Work and Sole Source Justification
NPSS1 PEAA 2027*0046
Confined Aquifer Sustainability Study
Scope of Services See attached Scope of Work.
Schedule and Term of Award A Purchase Order will be issued in August of 2027 pending available funding. The Sole Source Procurement end date is June 30, 2029.
Budget The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has budgeted an approximate amount of $249,950 for work.
Sole Source Justification HRS Water Consultants has been working for the Division of Water Resources in the study of the confined and unconfined aquifers of Division 3 for many years. They have by far the most experience of any water consulting company in the areas of groundwater and hydrogeology in Division 3. Any other consulting company would be required to spend a considerable amount of time and expense in simply developing the background knowledge needed to begin this study. The additional time needed would jeopardize the required deadlines for the project. HRS Water Consultants is the only vendor that can provide the necessary services and meet the deadlines imposed on the State Engineer.
