On-Call Environmental Consulting Services

The City and County of Denver is seeking on-call environmental consulting services through Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 50009, targeting comprehensive environmental assessment and monitoring capabilities. The solicitation covers six primary service domains: asbestos inspection and management, lead inspection and management, indoor air quality and industrial hygiene support, asbestos abatement project oversight, emergency response support, and environmental litigation technical analysis. Qualified proposers must provide certified experts capable of inspecting, monitoring, planning, and delivering expert recommendations across these environmental service areas, with full compliance to federal and state regulations including EPA, NIOSH, OSHA, and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment standards. The RFP requires electronic proposal submission through the Rocky Mountain E-purchasing System (BidNet) by August 21, 2025, at 12:00 P.M. Local Time, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for July 22, 2025, at 1:30 P.M. Evaluation criteria will focus on pricing, vendor responses to requirements, qualifications, responsibility, and responsiveness, with the City reserving the right to award to one or more vendors based on service needs.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does include an optional small business information request. Vendors will be required to provide a Certificate of Good Standing from the Colorado Secretary of State prior to contract finalization and must maintain comprehensive insurance coverages, including commercial general liability, business automobile liability, workers' compensation, and professional liability. The contract will be effective for five years from the date of City execution, with a compensation structure allowing up to a 15% markup on direct costs for subcontractor work, materials, and equipment. While a specific contract value is not detailed, the agreement provides for work to be initiated through service requests, which can be awarded via competitive mini-bid process or direct selection in emergencies. Pricing is structured across two tables: one detailing hourly rates for professional labor categories during standard and non-standard hours, and another providing flat rates for specialized analysis services and equipment rentals, with options for different turnaround times.
