HVAC Subcontractor-Colorado Springs

The Energy Resource Center, a tax-exempt non-profit organization serving Colorado Springs and six surrounding counties, is seeking a licensed HVAC sub-contractor for the Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program. This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits comprehensive HVAC services and repairs for low-income households, covering work from venting repairs to complete furnace replacements. The procurement will operate from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with proposals due by May 23, 2025. Evaluation criteria will heavily weight quality of work (50%), overall pricing (20%), and production capabilities (10%), with additional consideration given to comprehensive insurance coverage and licensing requirements. The selected contractor must complete work orders within five working days, coordinate with regional building departments for inspections, and service homes across the specified geographic area. Sub-contractors will be expected to provide detailed documentation, including proof of $2 million in general aggregate liability insurance and appropriate professional licenses.

The opportunity appears open to all qualified HVAC contractors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The previous program year serviced over 250 homes, suggesting significant volume potential for the selected contractor. Payment terms include 30-day remittance following job completion, based on itemized invoices, with a mandatory one-year warranty on all materials and workmanship. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the broad scope of work and extensive service area indicate a potentially substantial contract value. The Energy Resource Center's tax-exempt status and participation in the State of Colorado Purchasing Agreement may provide additional procurement flexibility. Contractors should be prepared to work across multiple counties and demonstrate robust production capabilities to be competitive in this solicitation.
