The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) is soliciting proposals for as-needed excavation services to be performed across its facilities in the Roaring Fork Valley, serving Garfield and Pitkin Counties in Colorado. The procurement seeks up to three contractors to provide excavation services on an emergency and as-needed basis, beginning January 1, 2026. Qualified vendors must demonstrate a minimum of three years in business and possess the capability to respond within 24 hours for non-emergency work and two hours for emergency services. Proposals are due electronically to procurement@rfta.com by September 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time. The services will be priced based on hourly rates for different work categories, including supervisor rates, regular skilled labor, weekend/after-hours work, and emergency/holiday rates, with an additional mark-up on materials. Contractors will be evaluated on their ability to meet response times, demonstrate appropriate insurance coverage, and provide competitive pricing structures. The solicitation encourages participation from small, minority, and women-owned businesses, indicating a commitment to diverse vendor participation. The contract structure allows for one initial year with four potential one-year auto-renewal options, potentially extending the agreement through December 31, 2031. The maximum annual contract value is set at $100,000 per service provider, with RFTA maintaining a tax-exempt status and providing no guaranteed minimum work order value. Future contract terms will be adjusted annually using the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index (CPI) to account for potential economic fluctuations. Pricing will be comprehensive, covering various labor categories and including provisions for material mark-ups. Contractors will need to demonstrate robust operational capabilities, including appropriate insurance coverage and the technical capacity to handle excavation services across RFTA's regional transportation infrastructure.
