Cross Connection Site Surveys

Denver Water is requesting Statements of Qualifications from contractors to complete cross-connection control site surveys, with responses due July 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Mountain Time. All contractor employees performing work must hold current American Backflow Prevention Association (ABPA) Specialist Certification or American Society of Sanitary Engineering (ASSE) Cross-Connection Control Survey Certification, with expired certifications to be renewed within six months of contract award — a mandatory capability filter.

The scope includes completing up to 300 cross-connection site surveys annually across Denver Water's service area, documenting findings on Denver Water report forms, coordinating appointment times with customers, submitting weekly reports via email, assisting with ad hoc surveys, and maintaining compliance with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Regulation 11.39. Contractors must provide all necessary confined space equipment (hoists, harnesses, tripods, air monitors), tools, transportation, and other equipment required to complete surveys. Work is performed during Denver Water's normal operating hours of 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, unless otherwise requested or approved by Denver Water's Contract Administrator.

Evaluation will consider certifications and licenses, service-area capability, equipment availability, industry experience and expertise, and other relevant factors at Denver Water's discretion. Contractors qualified through this RFQ process will receive direct invitations to compete in a subsequent formal competitive solicitation anticipated to be issued in July 2026. Responses remain valid for 180 calendar days from the due date. A clarification request deadline is July 6, 2026. Responses must be submitted via email to Emmett Crain at Emmett.Crain@Denverwater.org (35MB email size limit), with both original and redacted versions designating any confidential or proprietary information.
