On-Call Engineering Services

The City of Central, Colorado, located approximately 35 miles west of Denver, is seeking qualified Colorado-licensed professional engineers to provide on-call engineering services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). The procurement encompasses a comprehensive range of engineering services, including civil engineering, water and wastewater infrastructure management, stormwater services, structural engineering, feasibility studies, design reviews, construction management, permitting, field investigations, land use planning, transportation planning, environmental assessments, and specialized technical studies such as CAD, GIS, and wildlife research. Proposals must be submitted electronically by November 20, 2025, at 12:00 p.m., with an anticipated award date of December 2, 2025, and contract commencement on January 1, 2026. The evaluation will be conducted using five equally weighted criteria, each comprising 20 percent of the overall assessment: business and experience, project understanding, methodology and functionality, management plan and administration, and cost. The initial contract term is one year with potential annual renewal options, and the City reserves the right to award contracts to one or more contractors based on the proposal offering the greatest overall benefit.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on participating organizations, and no incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation. Proposers must submit comprehensive technical and financial proposal packages, including detailed fee schedules with hourly rates, comprehensive cost breakdowns, and documentation of business history, personnel, and project experience. The submission requirements include a transmittal letter, vendor information, technical proposal demonstrating qualifications, descriptions of at least three comparable projects from the past five years, three client references, and supplementary descriptive materials. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the proposals will include detailed cost structures covering consultant billing, services, licenses, maintenance, training, implementation, and additional expenses such as travel. The City maintains flexibility in the procurement process, reserving the right to reject all proposals, investigate proposer capabilities, and potentially conduct oral interviews with selected firms.
