The Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and the Municipal Subdistrict are seeking qualified environmental consultants to provide on-call environmental services through Request for Proposals (RFP 2025-028). The procurement is designed to establish an as-needed environmental consulting contract supporting various projects across Northern Water's Engineering, Environmental Services, and Operations divisions. Specific services include National Environmental Policy Act compliance, Clean Water Act Section 404 permitting, biological and cultural resources support, watershed restoration design, and regulatory compliance activities. Proposal submissions are due on May 8, 2025, at 2:00 PM (MT), with potential consultant interviews scheduled for May 29, 2025. The evaluation criteria encompass eight key areas: consultant qualifications, team composition, project approach, proposal quality, schedule adherence, fee structure, past project references, and ability to meet contract terms. The initial contract term will be one year, with potential annual renewals for up to four additional one-year periods. Consultants are not required to be experts in all listed service areas and will be selected through a quality-based selection process. The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be awarded on a quality-based selection methodology, without guaranteed work volumes or predetermined project locations. Some projects may involve state or federal funding, which could potentially introduce additional compliance requirements for selected consultants. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the procurement allows for multiple consultants to be selected based on their specific expertise and capabilities. The RFP does not provide a specific budget range or total contract value, suggesting that individual project scopes and associated compensation will be determined on an as-needed basis. Interested consultants should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive environmental service capabilities across multiple technical domains, with the understanding that project assignments will be distributed based on each consultant's demonstrated strengths and Northern Water's specific project requirements.
