Boulder Junction and Depot Square Custodial Cleaning Services

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) in Denver, Colorado is issuing Request for Quotations (RFQ) No. 123MR002 for custodial cleaning services at two bus terminals located at 3175 Pearl Parkway in Boulder. The procurement specifically covers cleaning services for Depot Square (currently open) and Boulder Junction (temporarily closed), with RTD requiring bidders to submit two separate price estimates: one for Depot Square only and another for both facilities in case Boulder Junction reopens. The contractor will be responsible for providing all labor, materials, equipment, and supplies to maintain a clean, professional environment, including daily tasks such as dusting, sanitizing restrooms, sweeping and mopping floors, emptying trash, and maintaining common areas. Specific performance requirements include providing at least one qualified custodian during specified hours (6:00 am - 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm Monday through Friday) and complying with detailed equipment, safety, and performance standards. The site walkthrough/pre-bid briefing is scheduled for 06/20/2023 at 10:00 A.M., with quotation submittals due on 07/18/2023 through RTD's online procurement portal, OpenGov. RTD anticipates making a final selection by 07/25/2023, with the contract to be awarded on a fixed-price basis using lowest responsive cost procurement procedures.

While RTD has not specified a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) participation goal, the agency encourages offerors to pursue subcontracting, mentoring, and partnering opportunities with Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) and SBEs. The contract will be for one calendar year with four additional one-year option periods to extend, subject to RTD's discretion and fund availability. Contractors will need to complete comprehensive background checks and meet stringent performance standards. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement is structured as a fixed-price contract with potential for multiple years of service. The solicitation covers custodial services for transportation facilities in Denver County and Denver City, targeting cleaning and maintenance of bus terminal spaces. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in comprehensive facility maintenance, ability to meet strict scheduling requirements, and commitment to maintaining high standards of cleanliness and professionalism in public transportation infrastructure.
