25-073 As-Needed Drain and Septic Services

The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA), a regional public transportation provider serving Garfield and Pitkin Counties in Colorado, is seeking proposals for as-needed Drain and Septic Services through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The solicitation, designated as 25-073, aims to establish a preferred contractors list for providing drain and septic services across multiple facility locations on an emergency and as-needed basis. Proposers must submit a comprehensive package including a cost proposal, completed proposer information form, current W9, and current insurance certificate. The initial contract term will span one year, beginning January 1, 2026, with potential for four optional one-year renewals, potentially extending the contract through December 31, 2031. Proposals are due by September 17, 2025, at 10:00 AM Mountain Time, with pricing structured around hourly rates for different service categories such as regular skilled labor, weekend/after-hours work, and emergency/holiday services.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. RFTA anticipates selecting up to three contractors for its preferred contractors list, with a maximum annual compensation of $55,000 per service provider. The contract includes provisions for annual price adjustments based on the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is subject to annual budget appropriations. RFTA is exempt from federal, state, and local taxes, which may provide additional financial considerations for potential contractors. The solicitation appears open to qualified drain and septic service providers who can demonstrate capability to respond to emergency and as-needed service requirements across RFTA's facility locations in Garfield and Pitkin Counties. Proposers will likely be evaluated on their pricing structure, technical capabilities, responsiveness, and ability to meet the organization's specific service needs.
