HVAC Subcontractors - Alamosa

The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt non-profit organization serving Colorado, is seeking licensed HVAC sub-contractors for the Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program. This procurement opportunity targets HVAC services for low-income households, with work encompassing repairs on older homes, including installation of 95% furnaces, mini-split heat pumps, and air conditioning systems. The contract period spans from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2026, with work expected to be completed within five working days of receiving a work order. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 23, 2025. Evaluation criteria are weighted, with 50% emphasis on work quality, 20% on pricing, and 10% on production quotas. Sub-contractors must possess mandatory liability insurance with specific coverage limits and demonstrate compliance with local and state regulations. The previous program year serviced over 250 homes, with work to be completed in Denver, Jefferson, Broomfield, and Gilpin counties.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the RFP notes that bidders must not be debarred under the System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines. Sub-contractors will be paid based on itemized invoices within 30 days of passing final inspection, with a mandatory one-year warranty on materials and workmanship. The Energy Resource Center is part of the State of Colorado Purchasing Agreement, which allows for flexible procurement through competitive negotiation to address the variable nature of weatherization and HVAC repair work. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the document indicates that the contract will cover multiple counties and potentially service numerous low-income households. The procurement appears to be open to qualified HVAC contractors who can meet the technical and insurance requirements outlined in the RFP, with an emphasis on quality service delivery for energy-efficient home improvements.
