The evaluation criteria will weight fee schedule at 30%, company background and experience at 20%, proposed staff at 20%, quality control and safety at 15%, and references at 15%, with the city reserving the right to award multiple contracts based on expertise and value.

The contract opportunity is part of the Colorado Collaborates Cooperative, enabling participation by local governments, educational institutions, special districts, and non-profit organizations, with a mandatory 2% administrative fee on total sales.

Participating agencies include the Cities of Wheat Ridge and Lafayette, with potential nationwide coverage for suppliers. Pricing will be based on unit pricing and hourly rates, with potential price adjustments limited to a maximum of 3% at contract renewal. The fee schedule includes differentiated rates for various plumbing personnel roles (Project Manager, Master Plumber, Journeyman Plumber, Apprentice Plumber, and Helper/Laborer) with variations for daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday services. While specific contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive scope and multi-year potential suggest a significant procurement opportunity for qualified plumbing service providers.
