Responsive & Responsible Checklist.pdf

This is a Vendor Responsive & Responsible Checklist used by the State of Colorado for evaluating bids submitted in response to the Psychiatric Nursing Program contract opportunity. The checklist serves as an evaluation tool to determine whether vendors meet both responsiveness and responsibility criteria established by Colorado's procurement requirements. Vendors must demonstrate attendance at a mandatory site visit, submit a sealed bid by the specified deadline, and provide a vendor representation signature page along with a vendor disclosure statement to be included with their proposal submission.

The checklist requires vendors to submit comprehensive documentation including a W-9 form, insurance documents, and a Colorado Secretary of State Certificate of Good Standing. Vendors must also complete a Contract Performance Outside the United States or Colorado disclosure and notification form for non-construction work, and provide financial documentation as specified in the solicitation requirements. The evaluation process assesses whether vendors followed all required solicitation directions and submitted all mandated documents within their sealed bid packages. Vendors must meet the definition of "responsible" as defined in both the solicitation and the Colorado Procurement Code, which requires demonstration of capability to perform all contract requirements and possess the integrity and reliability necessary to assure good faith performance. Final determination of vendor responsiveness and responsibility is made by the evaluation committee to determine eligibility to proceed in the procurement process.
