ICC; Interbasin Compact Committee Facilitation FY27-30

The Colorado Department of Natural Resources, Procurement Office is announcing a sole-source intent to award facilitation services for the Interbasin Compact Committee (IBCC) for the period October 2026 through October 2029, with a proposal due date of October 2, 2026, and a sole-source challenge window closing December 31, 2026.

This is a sole-source procurement. The Department has identified The Langdon Group (operating as JUB Engineers Inc) as the sole vendor meeting the unique qualifications required. The sole-source justification cites the vendor's unparalleled understanding of basin roundtable history, Colorado's water sector nuances, established stakeholder relationships, proven ability to facilitate multi-stakeholder consensus-based meetings, and capacity to meet accelerated timelines. Vendors interested in challenging the sole-source status may submit one-page cover letters to amanda.schor@state.co.us.

The scope includes planning, coordination, full-day facilitation, and summaries for three annual IBCC meetings and monthly subcommittee meetings. Labor activities encompass pre-event strategy sessions with Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) staff, full-day event facilitation, post-event debriefs and summaries, ongoing monthly project management, quality assurance, and final report support. Meetings are held at various locations throughout Colorado.

The budgeted contract value is $286,612.70 over the three-year-plus term. This is not a solicitation for proposals, quotations, or pricing, but a notification of intent to award contingent on no successful sole-source challenges.
