Junk and Debris Removal - Sterling

The Energy Resource Center (ERC), a tax-exempt non-profit organization serving Colorado, is seeking proposals for a debris removal service contract covering Morgan, Washington, Logan, Sedgwick, Phillips, and Yuma Counties through the Colorado Weatherization Program. The procurement opportunity, specifically located in Lincoln County, solicits contractors to remove debris from crawl spaces and attics, including wood, concrete, and miscellaneous items. Proposals must be electronically submitted via the Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing System by May 23, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. MDT, with work to be completed within five working days of receiving work orders. The evaluation criteria will prioritize work quality (50%), overall pricing (20%), production capabilities (10%), communication (10%), and experience working with low-income or vulnerable populations (5%). Contractors must provide comprehensive documentation, including detailed invoicing, maintenance of records for six years, and offer a one-year warranty on materials and services. Required qualifications include mandatory insurance coverage, lien waivers, and compliance with local and state regulations.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it notes that meeting participation requirements is optional for bidding. Contractors must confirm they are not debarred under System for Award Management (SAM) guidelines and are part of the State of Colorado Purchasing Agreement (NP2079). The contract will cover the program year from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with fixed pricing established for the entire period. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documents, the procurement is designed to support the ERC's weatherization program services. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to efficiently remove debris from residential properties, with a particular focus on serving low-income and vulnerable populations. The non-profit nature of the ERC suggests that the contract value will be focused on cost-effectiveness and service quality rather than maximizing profit margins.
