Asbestos Abatement-Colorado Springs

The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt non-profit organization, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for asbestos abatement services supporting the Colorado Weatherization Program. The procurement covers comprehensive asbestos removal and disposal services across eight counties: El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Douglas, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Kit Carson, and Teller, with services required from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. Required services include complete site preparation, containment, safe removal, waste handling, air monitoring, clean-up, and comprehensive documentation of asbestos-containing materials in various settings. Proposers must be licensed asbestos abatement contractors in Colorado with valid insurance coverage. The evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: work quality (50%), pricing (20%), production capabilities (10%), communication (10%), and experience with low-income clients (5%). Proposals are due by May 23, 2025, and the contract will be awarded through a competitive negotiation process, with the ERC reserving the right to reject any proposals.

The procurement appears open to all qualified asbestos abatement contractors, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned. Successful contractors will be expected to complete work orders within five working days and maintain detailed records for six years, with a one-year warranty on materials and services. The contract is part of the State of Colorado Purchasing Agreement, with payment processed within 30 days of passing final inspection. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the project involves multiple counties and comprehensive asbestos removal services, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The ERC's status as a tax-exempt non-profit organization serving low-income households indicates the project is likely funded through a combination of state resources and potentially federal weatherization assistance program funds. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate extensive experience in asbestos abatement, particularly in residential and low-income housing settings.
