Alamosa - Asbestos Abatement

The Energy Resource Center, a tax-exempt, federally funded non-profit organization, is seeking qualified asbestos abatement contractors for the Colorado Weatherization Program through a Request for Proposal (RFP) 004-2025. The procurement targets asbestos removal and disposal services across eight Colorado counties: El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Douglas, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Kit Carson, and Teller. Contractors must provide comprehensive asbestos abatement services including site preparation, safe material removal, waste handling, continuous air monitoring, thorough clean-up, and detailed documentation. Proposers are required to hold valid Colorado asbestos abatement licenses and provide proof of adequate insurance coverage. The evaluation process will assess proposals based on specific weighted criteria: quality of work (50%), overall pricing (20%), production quota capabilities (10%), communication (10%), experience with low-income clients (5%), and operational flexibility (5%). The proposal submission deadline is May 23, 2025, with the contract covering the program year from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Subcontractors must comply with multiple requirements, including completing work within five working days, maintaining six-year record retention, adhering to Colorado Energy Office standards, and following privacy and equal opportunity employment practices. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the contract requires fixed pricing for the entire program year and includes a one-year warranty on materials and workmanship. The solicitation indicates that bidders must verify they are not debarred under System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines, though this is not a strict bid submission requirement. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the comprehensive nature of the asbestos abatement services across multiple counties suggests a substantial potential contract value for the selected contractor.
