Insulation subcontractor-Alamosa

The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt federally funded non-profit organization, is seeking insulation subcontractors for the Colorado Energy Office Weatherization Program across multiple counties including El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Douglas, Cheyenne, Lincoln, Kit Carson, and Teller. The procurement involves installing insulation in attics, walls, and crawlspaces of older homes, with a specific focus on low-income households. Proposing subcontractors must provide comprehensive insulation services, including materials that meet or exceed local jurisdiction codes and Colorado Energy Office program standards, with a mandatory one-year warranty on all materials and services. The evaluation criteria for proposals will prioritize quality of work (50%), overall pricing (20%), production quota capabilities (10%), communication effectiveness (10%), and experience with low-income clients (5%). The contract period will run from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, with proposals due electronically via the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 23, 2025. Subcontractors must demonstrate the ability to complete work orders within five working days and provide comprehensive documentation including work experience, references, and proof of required insurance coverage with specific liability limits.

While the solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, it does require bidders to acknowledge they are not debarred under the System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines. The Energy Resource Center indicates an interest in understanding bidder participation requirements, though compliance is not mandatory for bid submission. The organization has historically serviced over 1,000 homes in the previous program year, suggesting a substantial volume of potential work for selected subcontractors. Specific budget ranges or potential award values are not explicitly stated in the documentation. Proposing subcontractors must be prepared to work on a job-by-job basis across the designated Colorado counties, with workmanship required to comply with local building codes and the Colorado Energy Office's standard work specifications. The procurement appears designed to support energy efficiency improvements for low-income households through targeted weatherization interventions.
