The procurement encompasses eleven temporary labor positions across multiple departments, including one SAKI Project Facilitator ($27.25/hour, full-time), three Cold Case Investigators ($28.00/hour, part-time up to 35 hours/week), one Crime Lab Project Facilitator ($25.54/hour, full-time), one Victim Advocate ($21.49/hour, full-time), one Victim Intervention Program Background & Investigations Support Assistant ($28.00/hour, full-time), four Domestic Violence Response Specialists ($28.00/hour, part-time up to 30 hours/week), and four Forensic Scientists at various DNA specialization levels ($35.59–$48.11/hour, full-time), plus one Backlog Prevention Specialist ($27.33/hour, full-time), with the possibility of additional positions being added. The contract is structured as a two-year initial agreement with options to renew for an additional two years in one-year increments, not to exceed four years total. Contractors must submit complete bids covering all eleven positions with no partial bids accepted; bids must include hourly rates for both the "APD Pay Rate" and "Bill Rate" (APD Pay Rate plus contractor fees). A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for April 20, 2026 at 2:00 PM Mountain Time via Zoom, and contractors must acknowledge receipt of Addendum 1 in the eProcurement system to avoid being deemed non-responsive. Key contractor responsibilities include conducting criminal background checks and drug screenings at their own cost, compensating employees weekly with sufficient independent financial resources, providing sick leave in accordance with applicable laws, submitting biweekly or monthly invoices, and maintaining Net 30 payment terms.

This federally funded procurement is subject to federal procurement requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 with no stated set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational types, though all bidders must complete mandatory certifications including Suspension and Debarment Certification, Equal Employment Opportunity Certification, and Certification of Restrictions on Lobbying. Bidders must also submit a completed Pay Equity Reporting Form, with out-of-state contractors required to verify exempt status. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration beyond compliance with the City's eProcurement system for bid submission. The City reserves the right to award multiple agreements if deemed in the best interest of the City and may conduct a ninety-day evaluation period with potential extension. While specific budget ranges are not provided in the solicitation documents, the estimated award value can be calculated based on the stated hourly rates and hours for each position over the two-year initial contract period, with the actual cost dependent on the contractor's bill rates and any additional positions added during the contract term.
