Commercial Washer and Dryers

The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC), specifically the Limon Correctional Facility, is seeking a vendor to procure and install commercial laundry equipment through a Documented Quote (DQ) solicitation. The procurement involves acquiring one UniMac UW Series High Performance Washer Extractor (Model UWT160V40V) and two UniMac Dryer Tumblers (Model UT170NVN), with the additional requirement of removing existing old units. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for January 18, 2024, at 10:00 AM, and only vendors who attend will be considered for award. Quotes are due by January 26, 2024, at 4:00 PM Mountain Time, with an anticipated purchase order start date of January 30, 2024. The evaluation process will be comprehensive and impartial, with awards made to the most advantageous quote considering price, past performance, and other factors. Vendors must submit detailed pricing models, including freight charges, installation fees, lead times, and warranty information, electronically via bidnetdirect.com//cdoc. The initial contract term is one year, with potential renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, not to exceed a total of five years.

The solicitation demonstrates a commitment to providing equal business opportunities, with a 3% goal for service-disabled veteran-owned small business contracts. Vendors must provide a completed W-9, Vendor Disclosure Statement, and maintain good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State. The procurement encourages participation from various business classifications, including minority-owned, women-owned, and emerging small businesses. Strict insurance requirements are in place, with vendors needing to obtain comprehensive coverage including Workers' Compensation, General Liability, Automobile Liability, and other specialized insurances with specific minimum coverage limits. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed technical specifications for the UniMac washer extractors and dryers suggest a sophisticated procurement with advanced technological requirements. The CDOC reserves the right to award to multiple vendors if determined to be in the state's best interest, and vendors must comply with extensive administrative requirements, including background checks and security protocols for personnel working at correctional facilities.
