Debris Removal-Colorado Springs

The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt non-profit organization, is seeking debris removal services for the Colorado Weatherization Program through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued for the program year from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The procurement covers debris removal services across multiple Colorado counties, including El Paso, Teller, Fremont, Douglas, Lincoln, Kit Carson, Elbert, and Cheyenne, with an anticipated service of over 250 homes. Potential sub-contractors must meet rigorous qualifications, including comprehensive general liability insurance coverage of up to $2,000,000, automobile insurance with $1,000,000 limits, and compliance with workers' compensation regulations. The evaluation criteria for proposals are heavily weighted, with work quality accounting for 50%, pricing at 20%, and production capabilities at 10%. Sub-contractors are required to complete work orders within five working days, maintain six years of records, adhere to Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program standards, and provide a one-year warranty on materials and services. The proposal submission deadline is May 23, 2025, with electronic submissions required through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Payment terms for selected sub-contractors include invoicing within 10 working days of job completion, with payment processed within 30 days for units passing final inspection. While specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the scope of servicing over 250 homes suggests a potentially substantial contract opportunity. The procurement appears to be open to qualified sub-contractors capable of meeting the technical and insurance requirements outlined in the RFP. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that would require integration. Interested vendors should carefully review the full RFP documentation to ensure complete compliance with the Energy Resource Center's specific requirements for debris removal services in the specified Colorado counties.
