ABTU interior security upgrade window replacement install

The Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Facilities Management, is procuring window replacement and installation services for Building 137 at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo, located at 1600 West 24th Street, Pueblo, Colorado 81003. This is a one-time purchase documented quote (DQ) procurement with no renewal options. The scope of work involves the installation of interior accessory windows (IAWs) with laminated security glazing and integral Venetian blinds as part of an interior security upgrade initiative. The windows must be aluminum-framed, manufactured to industry standards (AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440), and meet specific performance requirements including wind load capacity of 10 psf positive and negative, air infiltration limits not exceeding 0.3 cfm per square foot, and simulated human impact testing at 2,000 foot-pounds. The base bid manufacturer is Wausau Window and Wall Systems (2187-DT S.E.A.L. Series), with provisions for qualified manufacturer substitutions. All windows must include factory-glazed 7/16" laminated security glass, hinged access panels with Allen locks, and integral one-inch aluminum slat blinds in white, along with a ten-year, non-prorated manufacturer warranty. Contractors must submit quotes by May 22, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. via email to jamie.gott@state.co.us or by fax, with project completion required by June 30, 2017. Pricing must be quoted on an FOB Destination basis with all pricing remaining firm throughout the award term and payment terms of a minimum 45 calendar days. The State will award to a single vendor based on price as the primary evaluation criterion, along with secondary considerations of experience, delivery conditions, administrative costs, and any exceptions taken to documented quote requirements.

Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs) registered with the Center for Veteran Enterprise are eligible to receive a 5% preference on their bid price, provided they submit proper documentation of certification. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. All equipment, products, and parts must be new and contain manufacturer warranties unless otherwise specified. Contractors must comply with comprehensive security protocols mandated for work at a psychiatric healthcare facility, including background checks for all employees within five working days prior to site arrival, personal searches upon entry to security perimeter areas, adherence to contraband restrictions, and compliance with facility emergency procedures and fire safety protocols. Pre-construction infection control risk assessments are required with contractors responsible for implementing appropriate containment measures based on project scope. The procurement documents do not specify an explicit award value or budget range; however, the scope and technical specifications suggest a significant capital improvement project requiring specialized security-grade window systems and professional installation services.
