Crane and Hoists Inspections and Maintenace

Metro Water Recovery is seeking comprehensive crane and hoist inspection and maintenance services through Request for Proposal (RFP) #B-25-020, targeting facilities in Denver County and the city of Denver, Colorado. The procurement covers annual testing, inspection, and repair of crane and hoist equipment at two treatment facilities: the Robert W. Hite Treatment Facility in Denver and the Northern Treatment Plant in Brighton. The comprehensive service requires detailed inspection of approximately 409 total units, including stationary cranes, monorail systems, bridge cranes, floor winches, portable hoists, breaker lifts, and manual hoists with capacities ranging from 1/4 to 15 tons. Vendors must provide hourly rates for regular work hours (6:00 AM - 4:00 PM), overtime and after-hours work (4:00 PM - 6:00 AM), and weekend/holiday rates, along with a 15% markup on parts and materials. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for October 2, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with proposal submissions due on October 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM MDT. The contract appears to have a five-year term, with vendors expected to demonstrate technical capabilities in industrial lifting equipment maintenance and safety compliance.

The RFP documents do not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The asset lists reveal equipment from multiple manufacturers including Coffing, Gorbel, R&M, Detroit, Columbia, Harrington, American Equipment, Thern, and ACCO, suggesting a complex maintenance environment that will require vendors with broad technical expertise. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the contract covering two facilities with over 400 pieces of equipment indicates a potentially significant annual investment. The Short Form Agreement provides a template for service compensation, with flexible payment options including monthly rates, hourly fees, milestone payments, or lump sum arrangements. Metro Water Recovery reserves the right to award the contract with or without further discussions and can adjust quantities based on construction activities, providing flexibility in the procurement process. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including worker's compensation, automobile liability, general liability, and professional liability coverage.
