General Contractor Services - On Demand Services

Poudre School District R-1 is requesting qualifications from general contractors to provide on-demand construction services under RFQ 27-700-001, with responses due October 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT. The District is establishing a prequalified vendor list for smaller projects awarded on an as-needed basis; no minimum work volume or expenditure is guaranteed.

Minimum qualifications include five years of documented experience as a general contractor, successful completion of at least three K-12 construction projects within the previous five years, experience managing multiple subcontractors, demonstrated ability to work in occupied school environments, qualified project management and on-site supervision, and established quality-control procedures. All work must comply with federal, state, and local law, including OSHA and EPA requirements. Personnel must be suitable for school environments through background checks. Vendors must maintain a drug-free workplace and comply with tobacco and marijuana use prohibitions on District property.

The majority of work is anticipated during summer break. Vendors must provide performance and payment bonds for individual projects exceeding $50,000. The District will create a short list of prequalified vendors, who will subsequently receive formal pricing quotes for individual projects. Awards will be made to the most responsive and responsible vendor offering the lowest price per project.

Place of performance covers Poudre School District facilities throughout Larimer County, Colorado. Initial agreements will be negotiated following vendor selection and may be extended for up to four additional one-year terms through written amendments. Written questions are due October 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT. No formal bidder's conference or site visit is required. The District is exempt from sales and use taxes (Colorado Tax Exempt Number 98-03335). Responses must be submitted electronically through BidNet Direct.
