Alamosa - Debris Removal

The Energy Resource Center (ERC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for debris removal services within the Alamosa Region of Colorado, covering Alamosa, Costilla, Conejos, Mineral, Rio Grande, and Saguache Counties. The procurement is specifically for the Colorado Weatherization Program, seeking a contractor to remove debris from crawl spaces and attics, including wood, concrete, and miscellaneous items. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 23, 2025, with all work to be completed within five working days of receiving work orders. The evaluation criteria heavily emphasize work quality (50%), overall pricing (20%), and production quota capabilities (10%), with contractors required to provide materials and services meeting Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program Standards. Key qualifications include mandatory insurance coverage, demonstrated work experience, professional references, lien waivers, and compliance with local and state regulations. Contractors must also provide a one-year warranty against defects and be prepared for a competitive negotiation selection process.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though it notes that bidders must not be debarred under System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines. The solicitation indicates a preference for contractors with experience working with low-income, elderly, or handicapped clients. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement covers the program year from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The Energy Resource Center reserves the right to reject any proposals and select the most advantageous bid based on multiple criteria, including past work quality, pricing, timeliness, communication, and flexibility. Potential bidders should carefully review the comprehensive RFP requirements and ensure full compliance with all specified conditions and standards for the debris removal services.
