Adams County Public Health Facilities Master Plan

Adams County is seeking a consultant to develop a comprehensive Public Health Facilities Master Plan through a Request for Proposal (RFP) due on July 31, 2025, at 3 PM Mountain Time. The project aims to create a strategic, long-term plan addressing infrastructure needs for county public health facilities over a 20-year horizon. Key deliverables include condition and functional assessments of existing facilities, evaluations of future requirements considering population growth, service area changes, workforce trends, and potential regulatory impacts. The proposal requires detailed technical capabilities, key staff qualifications, project methodology, and documentation of previous similar work. Evaluation criteria will be weighted as follows: 20% firm capability and key personnel, 25% project understanding and approach, 10% references and past experience, 20% fee proposal, 10% general items, and 15% schedule. Potential proposers can submit questions until July 17, 2025, with all submissions to be made electronically through the Bidnet Direct System. The county will prioritize facilities using a comprehensive scoring model that considers utility, county priority, space requirements, operational deficiencies, facility condition, life safety, energy efficiency, real estate ownership, demographics, and fundability.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be a one-year agreement with potential for additional consulting services negotiated based on vendor capabilities and an approved fee structure. The sample agreement indicates the county will require comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate limits, workers' compensation insurance per Colorado statutes, and professional liability insurance where applicable. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract includes provisions for payment subject to the continuing availability of county funds, with the county reserving the right to terminate or amend the agreement if funds become unavailable. The pilot study will initially focus on five County Health Department facilities located in Brighton, Government Center, Commerce City, Westminster, and Denver, serving as an initial assessment phase before potential full-scale facility evaluations. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the provided documentation.
