Evans New Police Department FF&E RFQP

The City of Evans in Weld County, Colorado, is seeking professional services providers to furnish and install Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E) for a new municipal police facility through a Request for Qualifications and Proposal (RFQ/P). The project involves comprehensive FF&E services for an approximately 34,500 square foot facility designed to accommodate 65-75 staff over a 20-year period. Respondents will be evaluated using a 100-point scoring matrix that assesses qualifications of the proposed team (25 points), project approach (25 points), similar project experience (25 points), firm information (10 points), references (10 points), and cover letter (5 points). The procurement timeline indicates qualifications and proposals are due on May 19, 2025, at 5:00 pm MST via Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing (BidNet), with potential interviews scheduled for June 5, 2025, candidate selection on June 6, 2025, and contract approval by June 17, 2025. Required services include programming, design development, furniture layout, product selection, technical specifications, delivery, and installation, with the city reserving the right to shortlist up to three firms for interviews.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project is funded through a voter-approved ballot measure in 2021 and will require comprehensive insurance coverage, including worker's compensation, general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability. While no incumbent vendors are identified, the procurement documents indicate that during potential interviews, candidates will be asked to design and price a room with medium and low-cost options. The project's pre-construction schedule spans from November 11, 2024, to December 16, 2026, with a total project duration of 532 days. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed project timeline and comprehensive FF&E requirements suggest a significant investment in the new police department facility. The project includes multiple phases of design, construction, and move-in, with the final owner move-in scheduled for October 13, 2026.
