The City and County of Denver is soliciting bids for Citywide Emergency On-Call Plumbing Repair Services, excluding Denver International Airport, through Invitation for Bid No. 1018A-2025. The procurement seeks a licensed plumbing contractor to provide 24/7 emergency repair services for various city facilities, including All in Mile High (AIMH) residential shelter properties. Services encompass repairs to distribution systems, steam pipes, drain systems, water circulating systems, boilers, sump pumps, and drain/sewer cleaning, with contractors required to respond within two hours and commence work no later than the next business day. Bidders must possess a City of Denver Plumbing A Contractors License and comply with comprehensive requirements including prevailing wage standards, background checks, and CJIS Security Awareness Training. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM, with bid questions accepted until September 8, 2025, and final bids due on September 18, 2025, at 9:00 AM through the Rocky Mountain E-purchasing System. Evaluation criteria will include price, specification compliance, vendor responsibility, MWSBE requirements, submitted forms, and diversity and inclusiveness.

The procurement is specifically designated as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Defined Pool, meaning only SBE firms certified with the City and County of Denver can participate, with a mandatory 30% self-performance requirement. The contract term runs from December 19, 2025, to December 18, 2028, with potential for up to two one-year extensions. Pricing will be structured with hourly rates based on prevailing wage plus labor markup, and material costs subject to a fixed percentage markup. While specific contract maximum is not explicitly stated, the sample contract suggests individual work orders will have defined liability limits. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability, with the City and County of Denver named as additional insureds. The environmental purchasing guidelines also mandate strict adherence to chemical usage restrictions and prioritization of environmentally preferable products and services. Performance will be monitored through a management program, with the city reserving the right to reject invoices or cancel the agreement for repeated unsatisfactory performance.
