Evidence Unit Steel Shelving

The City of Grand Junction, Colorado, through its Purchasing Division, is soliciting competitive bids for a steel shelving procurement for the Police Department's Evidence Unit. The solicitation (IFB-5742-25-KF) seeks to acquire a total of 64 industrial-grade steel shelving units, specifically 24 units measuring 24" W x 36" L x 72" H and 40 units measuring 24" W x 36" L x 96" H. These shelving units must meet rigorous technical specifications, including welded 14-gauge steel uprights, four load-bearing supports per shelf, ribbed steel decking panels, and a boltless design. Each shelving unit is required to support a minimum of 500 pounds per level and feature a powder-coated or painted finish for corrosion resistance. The procurement timeline includes bid availability on October 10, 2025, an inquiry deadline of October 22, 2025, potential addendum issuance on October 24, 2025, and a bid response deadline of November 3, 2025, with anticipated contract execution on November 6, 2025. Delivery will be made directly to the Grand Junction Police Department at 333 West Avenue, with no assembly or installation services included in the contract.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The City reserves the right to adjust quantities based on pricing and does not guarantee specific purchase volumes or minimum orders. Bidders are required to provide firm, all-inclusive pricing that covers materials, handling, delivery, and associated expenses. While no incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, the procurement appears to be focused on expanding and improving the Evidence Unit's storage infrastructure. The bid requires comprehensive pricing that encompasses all aspects of the shelving unit procurement. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement involves 64 shelving units with precise technical specifications, suggesting a significant but not extraordinarily large investment in storage infrastructure for the Police Department's Evidence Unit.
