The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt, federally funded non-profit organization, is seeking proposals for debris removal services under the Colorado Weatherization Program. This Request for Proposal (RFP) covers counties including El Paso, Teller, Fremont, Douglas, Lincoln, Kit Carson, Elbert, and Cheyenne, with a contract period from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. The primary objective is to remove debris from residential units with crawlspaces, with an anticipated service of over 250 homes during the program year. Contractors must complete work orders within five working days and provide detailed invoicing. The evaluation process will be based on a competitive negotiation model, with key assessment criteria including work quality (50% weight), overall pricing (20% weight), and ability to meet production quotas (10% weight). Proposals are due by May 24, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. MDT and must be submitted electronically through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System.

The RFP requires potential contractors to meet comprehensive qualifications, including mandatory insurance coverage and compliance with local and state regulations. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the solicitation appears open to various qualified contractors who can demonstrate technical capabilities and meet stringent performance standards. Successful bidders must provide lien waivers and offer a one-year warranty on materials and services. The Energy Resource Center, operating under the State of Colorado Purchasing Agreement, reserves the right to reject any or all proposals based on their assessment of the most advantageous bid. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed in the available documentation, the scope suggests a substantial project involving debris removal services across multiple counties. Contractors should be prepared to demonstrate significant operational capacity, technical expertise, and the ability to efficiently manage debris removal in residential settings.
