The State of Colorado Office of the State Architect is requesting proposals on behalf of the University of Colorado Boulder for a Design/Bid/Build general contractor to renovate Suites 207, 211, and 219 (approximately 2,600 square feet) on the second floor of the Koelbel Building, with cost proposals due November 17, 2026, and a mandatory pre-submittal conference on September 28, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams.

The project qualifies as a public-entity renovation subject to Colorado prevailing wage requirements and the Buy Clean Colorado Act, which mandates Environmental Product Declarations for eligible materials.

The scope encompasses interior renovation, mechanical system upgrades, and electrical lighting system and control updates, with the spaces to remain home to the Leeds School of Business.

The procurement follows a two-step process: Step I prequalification evaluation based on firm capabilities, experience, and qualifications with a short list available by October 22, 2026; Step II conventional sealed bidding with award to the lowest responsible bidder.
