About this opportunity

The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe (UMUT) is seeking proposals for a comprehensive 811 Locator Equipment Procurement initiative targeting utility detection and management capabilities within their Public Utilities Department. The procurement specifically calls for one All-Materials Utility Locator Kit with Integrated GPS, which includes 2 RTK-enabled locators, 2 protective cases, 2 receiver sleeves, 2 advanced locator transmitters, 2 transport bags, and 2 clamp assemblies. This solicitation is designed to enhance the tribe's infrastructure safety, mapping, and underground utility detection capabilities, with a focus on achieving compliance with Colorado's 811 Locate requirements. The RFP was issued on July 10, 2025, with proposals due on July 25, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time, and vendors must submit electronic proposals to Lee Trabaudo with a copy to Chris Stebner. Evaluation criteria will comprehensively assess price, total cost of ownership, equipment compatibility, warranty, after-sale support, delivery timeframe, and vendor qualifications. Proposals must remain valid for 60 days following the submission deadline, and vendors are expected to comply with UMUT Resolution 2024-100 and applicable procurement regulations.

The procurement includes a Native American Preference policy that provides a five percent scoring advantage to Native American bidders and requires contractors to pay a $500 Tribal Employment Rights Office (TERO) fee. The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe holds a tax-exempt status, which may impact pricing and contractual considerations. Vendors must be cleared against federal debarment lists and obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) as part of the new vendor setup process. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be a targeted equipment acquisition with a focus on comprehensive utility location capabilities. The tribe reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals based on determining the best overall value, suggesting flexibility in the selection process. Potential respondents should carefully review the attached Purchasing and Procurement Policy, which outlines detailed documentation requirements, competitive bidding guidelines, and multi-level approval processes that could impact proposal preparation and submission.
