Engineering Services

Maiker Housing Partners, operating in Adams County, Colorado, is seeking qualified civil engineering firms to provide comprehensive engineering services for the redevelopment of a 7.2-acre decommissioned reservoir site. The project aims to create 64 housing units for older adults and disabled populations, potentially spanning up to three stories, and will include a new public street and an adjacent county park. Engineering services required encompass site analysis, rezoning applications, plat development, engineering improvements, and collaborative design work. The Request for Proposals (RFP) No. P25004 will evaluate submissions using a 100-point scoring system, with points allocated as follows: proposed costs (30 points), qualifications and capacity (20 points), technical approach (20 points), relevant experience (20 points), and overall proposal quality (10 points). Proposals are due on October 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM MST, with an anticipated design and entitlement schedule running from November 2025 through February 2027, potentially involving low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) applications.

The solicitation encourages participation from diverse business enterprises, though recent HUD regulations implemented in early 2024 have modified Section 3 Business Preference requirements for professional services firms. Proposers must complete various attachments including HUD forms (5369-C, 5370-C1), a Profile of Firm Form, and documentation demonstrating business classifications such as Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE) or Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the engineering services suggests a substantial professional services contract. Firms must provide evidence of federal and state licenses, insurance coverage (workers' compensation, general liability, and professional liability), and complete detailed disclosure forms regarding potential conflicts of interest, lobbying activities, and compliance with federal procurement regulations. The selected firm will be expected to work collaboratively with multiple stakeholders, including architects, landscape architects, and county officials, to achieve the development's vision of creating a dignified, service-rich housing environment.
