2C Inspection Services

The City of Colorado Springs has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for 2C Inspection Services (R25-041SL) seeking time and materials proposals for comprehensive construction management, inspection services, and materials testing for roadway-related projects. The solicitation covers five distinct programs: Pre-Overlay Concrete Program, Pre-Overlay Pipe Program, Asphalt Overlay Program, Preventative Maintenance Programs, and Right of Way Inspection. Proposers must provide staffing for inspection teams, materials testing, and construction management with specific requirements for personnel qualifications, equipment specifications, testing procedures, and accreditation standards. The RFP requires comprehensive documentation including company background, key personnel resumes, project approach, and pricing information. Key procurement dates include a pre-proposal conference on April 16, 2025, and a proposal submission deadline of May 5, 2025. The contract will have a base year from Notice to Proceed through December 31, 2025, with four potential option years extending through December 31, 2029. Evaluation will be based on best value, considering factors such as relevant experience, key personnel qualifications, project approach, and pricing.

The procurement is funded by a 0.57% special sales/use tax approved by voters in November 2024, expected to generate approximately $70 million annually for 10 years, totaling $700 million in road and street improvement investments. While the RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, the comprehensive nature of the proposal suggests a competitive bidding process open to qualified contractors with demonstrated expertise in municipal infrastructure inspection and construction management. The contract appears to be a new procurement, with no mention of incumbent vendors. Proposers will need to demonstrate capability to integrate with existing municipal infrastructure and technological systems. Though a specific award value is not directly stated, the annual tax revenue of $70 million and the multi-year contract structure suggest a potentially significant contract value, likely in the range of several million dollars annually depending on the scope and scale of selected inspection and testing services.
