1800 Grant Property Management Services

The University of Colorado is seeking a property management company to oversee and manage the facilities at 1800 Grant Street in Denver, a Class A or B office building spanning approximately 121,000 gross square feet. The procurement is a Request for Proposals (RFP) for comprehensive property management services, including facilities operations, engineering services, accounting services, contracting services, and building operational management. Mandatory qualifications for proposers include at least 10 years of experience managing office buildings over 100,000 rentable square feet in the Denver area, currently managing a portfolio of at least 300,000 rentable square feet, and having personnel with specified years of experience in property management, building engineering, and accounting roles. The contract is set to begin on July 1, 2025, with an initial three-year term and potential renewal for up to two additional one-year periods, not exceeding five years total. Proposals are due by May 19, 2025, at 2:00 PM Denver local time and must be submitted through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System (BidNet). The property currently houses approximately 620 University System Administration employees and 20 University of Colorado Foundation employees, with the selected contractor responsible for maintaining operational efficiency, safety, and aesthetic quality.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the procurement documents. The contract does not appear to have predefined requirements for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned business participation. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the documents indicate the property is currently being managed and will require a smooth transition to the new contractor. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating Commercial General Liability coverage of $2,000,000 aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence, Automobile Liability with a $1,000,000 combined single limit, and Workers' Compensation with statutory coverage. The Pricing Form (Attachment D) provides a framework for proposers to submit monthly management fees and personnel costs, though specific budget ranges were not pre-established in the documents. The University reserves the right to terminate the contract if insurance requirements are not met and has built-in flexibility for contract modifications and performance evaluations.
