Lafayette Police Department Bouler Replacement

The City of Lafayette, Colorado is requesting proposals for replacement of two gas-fired boilers serving the Lafayette Police Department under RFP-26-31-FM, with proposals due October 30, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid walk scheduled for October 8. The replacement boilers must achieve a minimum 90% efficiency rating and replace existing Weil-McLain Ultra 310 units.

The scope encompasses a complete turnkey replacement project including labor, materials, equipment, permits, demolition, disposal, delivery, installation, startup, testing, and commissioning at 451 N 111th St, Lafayette. Work must be completed with initial preparation and parts ordered by December 15, 2026. The project must maintain operational continuity within the secure Police Station facility, integrate with the existing Delta Controls Building Automation System, and accommodate two boilers previously installed in 2023. All contractor personnel are subject to CJIS-related background screening and escort requirements.

Cost proposals must remain firm and include all incidental costs for a complete turnkey replacement. Offerors must provide one price for like-for-like replacement of both boilers and may propose alternate pricing separately, with all exclusions, assumptions, and contingencies transparently identified. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), Professional Liability ($1,000,000 per claim / $2,000,000 aggregate if applicable), Workers' Compensation per Colorado statutory limits, and Comprehensive Automotive Liability ($500,000 combined single limit). A bid guarantee bond or certified cashier's check of at least 5% of the bid amount is required, along with Performance and Payment Bonds for 100% of the contract price upon award.

Evaluation criteria are Technical Approach and Proposed Equipment Solution (35 points), Pricing (30 points), Demonstrated Experience and Key Personnel (20 points), and Security Compliance and Operational Continuity (15 points). Written inquiries are due October 20, 2026 at 5:00 PM MT, with the City's response due October 23. The City may conduct interviews or oral presentations during the week of November 2. The anticipated contract start date is November 9, 2026.
