A Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) goal of at least 3% of contract awards by dollar value applies.

Respondents must provide company qualifications, technical specifications, implementation schedules, at least three professional references for comparable projects completed within the past five years, and comprehensive pricing as a total fixed project price with recurring software, licensing, subscription, support, or maintenance costs identified separately. All work must be coordinated with Otero College IT and Facilities staff while minimizing disruption to campus operations. Project completion is targeted no later than June 2027, with a desired contract start date of October 19, 2026.

Respondents must be legally authorized to conduct business in Colorado, demonstrate experience with commercial security camera, video surveillance, structured cabling, or comparable technology projects, and provide proof of Good Standing with the Colorado Secretary of State and insurance certificates prior to contract execution, including general liability coverage of $1 million each occurrence and professional liability insurance of $1 million each occurrence. Price is the primary evaluation consideration. The State reserves the right to award to multiple vendors, cancel the solicitation, or reject all quotes. Site walkthroughs are available by appointment through September 28, 2026 by contacting Shawn Borton at 719-384-6982 or Shawn.Borton@Otero.edu. The anticipated award date is October 12, 2026.
