Commercial Window Coverings: Supply, Install, Replacement, and Repair

Boulder County is soliciting a Statement of Qualifications for commercial window coverings supply, installation, replacement, and repair services, with responses due June 26, 2026. This is a short-list arrangement; selected vendors will be placed under contract, but selection does not guarantee work assignments.

The scope covers new construction and remodel projects in coordination with general contractors, as well as service calls for inspection, replacement, and repair of existing window coverings across Boulder County's building portfolio. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in various window covering types, installation methodologies, and maintenance protocols suitable for institutional facilities.

Evaluation is conducted on a 100-point scale: Overall Proposal Presentation (10 points), Product Specifications (50 points), and Organization Information (40 points). Product specifications assessment covers products, types, finishes, styles, operating mechanisms, mounting options, sustainability aspects, warranty information for products and services, and fabrication and installation timelines. Organization information evaluation considers company structure, service areas, standard fabrication and installation schedules, service call response times, and relevant experience documented through three completed projects within the last three years, including scope descriptions, product specifications, project locations, and photographic evidence. References must include contact information or reference letters.

Vendors must carry comprehensive general liability insurance, workers' compensation insurance, and other protective coverages as specified in Exhibit A, with Boulder County named as additional insured. All insurance must remain in effect throughout the contract term and any renewals. Vendors must provide certificates of insurance prior to commencing work.

Under the short-list arrangement, projects valued below $10,000 may be assigned to any vendor on the list without competitive solicitation. Projects valued at $10,000 or greater require the County to contact all short-listed vendors, establish a quote submission deadline, and select based on timely quotes. Work authorization occurs through written task orders; contractors may not commence work without a formal task order. Invoices are due by the 15th of each month for prior calendar-month work. For contracts exceeding $150,000, the County may withhold up to five percent retainage pending satisfactory completion. Contractors bear responsibility for permits, licenses, construction waste disposal, and hazardous material handling, and must comply with Colorado state specifications, accessibility standards, stormwater quality protection, and Boulder County BuildSmart Code and International Green Construction Code requirements.
