Group Fitness Program for City Employees

The City of Fort Collins is seeking proposals for a Group Fitness Program targeting city employees, specifically requesting qualified Service Providers to deliver group exercise and training services at the city's wellness facility. The procurement involves two distinct class types: a Total Body Interval Training class lasting one hour (offered four times weekly) and a Core group exercise class lasting 30 minutes (offered three times weekly). The primary objective is to assist participants in achieving short-term health and wellness goals. Service Providers must possess certifications from recognized fitness organizations, maintain $1,000,000 in general liability insurance, and demonstrate capability to provide backup instructors. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is due on July 30, 2025, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time, with submissions to be made through the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System. Proposal evaluation will be based on scope, firm capability, assigned personnel, and cost, with potential interviews or demonstration classes incorporated into the selection process. The City anticipates contract award in August 2025, with potential for one-year renewals.

The RFP does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City demonstrates a preference for local Service Providers experienced in group exercise programming within Northern Colorado. For the Total Body Interval Training class, costs will be shared between the City and participants, with the Service Provider collecting remaining fees directly from participants. The Core classes will be fully funded by the City. The program will be conducted at 214 N. Howes Street, and the City will provide administrative support including participant rosters, invoice processing, and marketing. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the procurement suggests a flexible compensation model that allows Service Providers to generate revenue through participant fees while receiving partial City funding. The contract appears structured to encourage local fitness professionals and organizations to participate in providing wellness programming for city employees.
